Search for Sunken
Treasure After War

Some of the greatest hidden treas
ure hunts ever known will begin when
peace is declared. Then attemRts
will be made to retrieve the precious
| cargocs of the hundreds of ships that
have been sent to the bottom through
| sea warfare, observes London An
swers. %+a
According to Lord Beresford since
| the war began more than 1900 British,
allied and neutral ships have been
sunk. This represents tonnage of
| considerably more than 100000.
OF course, a great deal of the cargo
of some of these ships was perishable
and of comparatively trifling value.
but many were almost priceless ar
gosies.
Gold and precious stones and rare
pottery ard fabrics from india more
gold and precious stones from South
Africa; still more gold. silver and dia-
monds, copper and lead from South
America: silks and velvets from China:
and. nearer home, quicksilver, cspper.
silk and oils from Spain. Much of this
treasure. which was continuously
pouring on to the shores of Britain in :
the early days of the war; is now
lying in hundreds of shattered NUNS
in the Atlantic. Pacific, the Mediter-
ranean and the Indian ocean.

Shark Skin Shoes Next

1t looks as though we may wear
shoes of fish skin after all. Energetic
efforts are being continued by the
United States bureau of fisheries 10
establish effective cooperation be-
tween tanners who have informed the
bureau that they desire to obtain sup
plies of skins of sharks and other
aquatic forms, and the fishermen and
brokers who are seeking markets for
the raw products. The bureau Is giving
all possible aid to the task of build
ing up this important branch of the
leather industry.
One man who is familiar with con-
ditions in the South Sea islands has
stated that he can deliver 800 tons of
these skins in a year. Some instances
are reported in which arrangements
have been perfected between tanners
and fishing companies to take care Of
the entire output OF raw material that
may be obtained.

After the war thousands will! be
