SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danger of the
Extinction Of Animal In This
Country.

There are, according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen,
about 100000 elk in this country, of
which 200 are in captivity in 125 diff
ferent places. The largest herd, num-
bering,, according to the government
census, between $4,000 and $1,000, is
In the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range in the vicinity
Of the continental divide In the park.
Since the settlement of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
the mountains In the winter In order
to obtain food have starved In large
numbers. Since 1909, winter feeding
has been provided by the state OF
Wyoming and the federal government,
and recently congress appropriated
$50, 600 for the purchase of 1000 acres
near Jackson, Wyo., where sufficient
hay can be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has expert
mented with small herds numbering
about 100, which have been transferred
to 13 different states for the purpose
of restocking reservations. In this
way II is hoped that wild elk can be
retained in this country permanently
The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap-
proaching extinction when the govern
ment and the state of New York took
hand. 1t is believed that after the
fate Of the buffalo many states will at
tempt to encourage the propagation Of

All Night in Texas
Cemetery.

Hiilsboro, Tex.-Sixty-three persons
who gathered in the chapel at the
Brandon cemetery to attend the fu-

spend the night there, being marooned
by the heavy rainstorm which neces-
STATED postponing the interment un-
til the next morning.
During the funeral service the rain
started and fell in such torrents that
1t formed little bitches which ran into
the grave and completely filed it with
mud and water. The grave was cleared
In the morning and the interment held.
1t was too late to return home when
the rain stopped so those gathered for
the funeral sent out and got some cof
fee and sat up all night so as to attend
the burial the next morning.

Diver Tells Of Difficulty In locat-
inp Wreck of Treasure
Ship.
CASH and SILVER BULLION
Other Wrecks Are Found by Treasure
Hunting Crew, One Of Them Ap-
parenty Being That Of
Steamer.

Nerfolk, Va.-Searching for a sunken
ship OH which there Is over 81 100000
In money and silver bullion, the treas
ure-hunting crew of "a men under the
command of Capt. George Stillson, a
master diver. Inventor and expert In
submarine engineering. is not proving
an easy task. Stillson says.
The treasure-iaden ship is. or was,
the Ward line steamer Merida. She
was sunk In the summer of 1911 about
fifty-nve miles Off Cape Charles Light
snip when she was rammed by the
freight steamer Admiral Farragut-
The Merida carried over 300 passen-
gers, all of whom were taken off by
the Fnrragut and transferred TO the
Old Dominion steamer Hamilton,
which landed them in Norfolk.
Among the passengers were n num-
ber OF Americans fleeing from Mexico.
They had with them the savings of
their lifetimes and these savings they
say. were locked in the safe in the
ohice of the purser of the Merida.
When the steamer was struck the wa
ter poured through the hole In her
starboard side SO fast that they did
not have time to save any of their
valuabies.
The Merida also carried silver bull
ion snid to have been worth over $780,
600. The purser's safe is filed with
money and jewelry. The vessels car

Treasure-Huntino Fleet.
The treasure-huntlng fleet is COM
posed of the yacht J. Fl. Beckwith, the
trawler Fearless and barge used by
divers. There are about dozen
divers in the outfit, including F. MIL
son, who is said to have been the first
to explore the bottom of the Atlantic
near where the Merida went down.
Capt. C. Hermanson, who is in COM
mand of the flagship of the fleet, is
of the opinion that If the Merida is
found she will be some miles away
from the spot where she went down.
Divers have explored two miles of
the Atlantic ocean, it Is stated. and
have found several wrecks, one of
them apparently steamer, but 1t was
not the one they sought. Divers sent
up portions of deckhouse of the
steamer. There was nothing of value
In the wreck.
Captain Stillson says he has not
given up hope of finding the Merida
and is not disappointed at not finding
the vessel at the point where she went
down.
"A vessel seldom goes right straight
to the bottom when shn sinks" he
says. Especially where the water is
deep and the currents strong" 1t is
possible that the Merida is ten miles
away from the spot where she went
down. Under currents sometimes car
ties on the bottom. And after she
strikes the bottom, shifting sands
sometimes carry vessel several
miles.
Captain Hermanson also Is of the
opinion that the Merida will he found.
and the divers, too. are confident.
The men tell of encountering
strengthening objects under water,
of stumbling against sunken vessel,
or meeting n shark face to face.
Search Is Thorough.
After searching five miles in one
direction, the treasure hunters will re-
turn to the spot where the Merida
went down and search five miles in
another direction. After they have
gone Anrth, south each and west for

EARLY PROJECTS FAILURES
Since July 27, 1866, New World Has
Been in Continuous Communica-
tion With Old by Subma-
rine Cable.

New York.-It is little more than
half century since the completion of
the first permanent Atlantic telegraph,
observes the New York Evening World.
Since July 81. 1866. the new world has
been in continuous and uninterrupted
communication with the old world by
means of the submarine cable. The
final success was achieved only after
several disheartening failures. AS
early as 1S43 Prof Samuel f. b.
Morse suggested the possibility of an
Atlantic telegraph line.
Just n decade later Cyrus w. Field
a wealthy merchant, became interested
in plan for laying an underground
cable across Newfoundland and in the
following year. 1851, he secured the CO.
operation of Peter Cooper. Moses Tay-
lor and others in a scheme for trans
Atlantic cable. The manufacture of
$500 miles of wire was completed In
1857 and the task of laying Ii was COM
menced at Valentia, Ireland. In August
Of that year, two American and two
British vessels being engaged. After
a few miles had been laid the cable
snapped. This was repaired but after
300 miles of wire had been put down
II snapped again and the vessels re-
turned to Plymouth.

Success Short Lived.

A storm caused the failure of n
second attempt, but the third voyage,
in 1858, was successful. and the juno
ton between the two continents was
effected by 2,059 miles of wire stretch
ing from the Irish coast to Newfound-
land. Messages were exchanged be-
tween Queen Victoria and President
Buchanan ana there was great rejoic-
ing on both sides of the ocean.
The jubilation proved premature.
however, for in short time the cable
ceased to work and was branded a fail
.ure. The faith of Field did not waver.
and, although the Civil war prevented
an early revival of the project, In 1865
new company began the laying of
another cable. The famous vessel, the
Great Eastern, was dispatched to Ire
land with the wire. but again the
project ended in failure.

"A little Girl. named Edith, had a Garden in the back of her Mother's Garden which was alI all her own She was devoted to this Garden andl spent many hours over 1t. She had path made of Stones-great, large, fiat ones which she called Stepping Stones,' and everyone who walked through her Garden had to walk on the Stones. Then she had little bor- der of Ferns, and in the center were Plants and Seeds which were going to come up into Flowers.
 "She waited for the Seeds to come up--but all she found were Snafls- Lots and lots of Snails! They were everywherei And no leaves or Flow; CTS to be seen anywhere What could 1t mean, Edith asked herself.

 ''So she tried once more with Seeds and stin nothing came up in her gar den. The Snails were around md there seemed to be more of them every time she looked.
