preparations to resume my journey.
In the first cave that explored l
found q stock Of provisions-fiour and
canned meats and matches-snugly
stored away safe from the damp and
snow. Near by were picks and SHOW
els and three very reputable blankets,
with a miscellany Of materials sugges-

I might have been more surprised

centered on Jacqueline, and the wan

Boston.-One : Of the greatest coa

sunken ships which lie on the floor
of the ocean, and soon will be brought
to the surface by means of great
after-war industry, known as the sub
marine salvaging of sunken cargoes
which will be the means of reclaim.
Ing millions Of tons of coal, scrap iron
and other rsw products long since
abandoned az lost.
The United States is taking the lead
Of all nations In fostering this great
industry which grew out of the war
when the efficiency of the submarine
as monster of frightfulness was
demonstrated. Peace will allow the
submarine to come into its own as a
great reclamation agency.
In Long Island sound there lie q
million tons of coal, Of which, 1t Is es'
timated by salvaging experts, at least
25 per cent Is reclaimable at cost OF
about 25 cents per ton. Reclaimed
coal sells at the market price Of SIC
or $12 a ton.
BY means Of the salvaging subma-
rine II is possible to cover 20 square
miles Of ocean bottom a day In search
ing for sunken hulks. Once wreck
Is located 1t will be simple matter,
now that the salvaging submarine is
as perfect as the torpedOing subna-
rine, to reclaim 300 tons an hour. and
to locate half dozen ships In as
many hours. '

the salvaging submarine makes pos
sible and practical an enterprise that
was beyond the scope of the most dar-

find sunken cargoes.
This Is illustrated by comparison

Plan to Salvage
Sunken Cargoes

Hooper held the record for immersion
when he went down $50 feet in 1884
to reclaim the gold which sank in the
Alphonso MI off the Canary islands.
Hooper made Is different trips to
the wreck in as many months. So
arduous and fatiguing was the descent
that he was able to remain only 10
minutes each time before he signaled
for the return journey. 1t took him
four hours to make the descent, be-
cause Of the necessity of accustoming
his body by degrees to the increased
pressure. The last time he went down
he became paralyzed and was obliged
to come up leaving $4,000 in gold
behind him-which still awaits a find-
er. In all he brought up $350,000.
Today the salvaging submarine
goes down at the rate Of q foot a
second, and the diver can remain a
month in 1t If he desires, working an
eight-hour day or however long his
day may be. The materials salvaged
are pumped to the surface by means
Of 15-inch pipe. which will bring up
800 tons of coal or scrap iron in I'm
hour, and place it on the deck Of
cargo carrying steamer nearby. An
entire cargo is thus salvaged in few
hours, and the work Of locating and
salvaging another wreck Immediately
undertaken.
In the matter of economy Of time
and money, the saving Of the strength
Of the divers and in locating with
dexterity the whereabouts of sunken
cargoes. the salyaging submarine corr
pares with the old-time method Of

''Now is the time to secure the wild

time to arrange for delivery.

public has had an opportunity to
judge them in operation. There will
be little change, if any, during the
current year.
"There is no indication that prices
will be lowered. The demand for
automobiles is steadily increasing and
it becomes especially heavy from
spring on.
"By placing your order during the
winter months the uncertainty of
spring and summer demand is avoid
ed Manufacturers are enabled to
and do produce accordingly. Like
wise delivery is made more convent

"And there is plenty of use to be
enjoyed from automobiles during the
winter months. The time has passed
when cars utility ended with fine
weather. Today, with all the con-
veniences, one uses his car the year
year around.
"In fact it is during severe weather
that car proves to be of the greatest
convenience. Especially is this true
of the practical closed cars that have
become so popular for all season use.
''In short the purchaser who orders
his car now has nothing to lose. If
he does not want his car right away
delivery may be regulated according
