the remainder of the gold and silver. The
Admiralty salvage ship Racer, which has
been fitted out with the object of salving
the remaining treasure, has on board
pump which will lift 800 tons an hour
not only water, but coal, mud, and debris.
Science and invention have equipped the
salvage diver of today with some wonder
full apparatus. To cut holes in the sides
of sunken vessels he now uses a fame
cutter. This is so devised that an oxy-
acetylene flame can be used under water.
The flame issues from two jets, and is
projected by stream of compressed air
coming from two other jets in the same
cable, which blow the water away from
the fame. The usual plan, however, is
to blow a hole in the side of the vessels
with explosives.
In efforts to raise sunken vessels it has
been found possible to Gift" ships of
5000 tons. The usual plan is for divers
to Tighten the vessel, so far as possible, by
taking out the cargo. Submersible pumps
then clear the hold of water, and hawsers
are attached or passed beneath the vessel.
1t was by this means that a Government
collier weighing $500 tons, which was
sunk by collision in twelves fathoms of
water, partially blocking an important
channel, was raised some time ago. She
was lightened by various methods to $500
tons, and sixteen 9-inch wire ropes, each
with breaking strain of ESQ tons, were
placed in position and attached to four
Admiralty craft over the wreck. The
vessel was then lifted and carried to
place on the beach-a wonderful salving
feat, as up to that time it had been be-
lieved that no vessel of more than 1900
tons could be raised by wire ropes.-Ex.

That great mystery of Time, were there
no other; the illimitable, silent, never
resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing
on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing
ocean-tide, on which we and all the uni
verse swim like exhalations, like appari-
tions which are, and then are not; this is
forever very literally miracle; thing

WHERE DO THE NEW WORDS
COME FROM?

Where do all our new words come from
both the feeble vocables destined to an
early death and the verbal entities lively
enough to force themselves into the voca-
bulary? Who makes them? How are
they made? These are questions to
which it is often difficult to find an ans
wer. Sometimes we know who made a
word, why he made it, where he made
it, and when he made it. Huxley manu-
factured agnosfic, from Greek root, in
tending it to be more accurate descrip-
ton of his own attitude toward inherited
religious belief than bositivist;; it was apt
ly and correctly formed; it was needed; it
was Immediately adopted both by his
friends and his foes; and from English
it has made its way into most modern
languages
But where did jazz come from? Who
was responsible for this fit name for misfit
music? And when was it that some per-
son or persons to us unknwn had happy
inspiration and described syncopated mea-
sures as rag-time? We can make guess
that pep is curtailing of pepper and that
boob is only shortened BOBBY; but why
is a recently invented combination of ice
cream and fruit syrup known as sundae?
The mirror., 1920-09-23

And why is this name not more simply
spelled either sunday or sundys Why was
the armored tractor which helped power
fully to win the war entitled a tank?
Here indeed is an instance of the way in
which an old world is sometimes applied
to a new thing in spite of the fact that it
is not all good name for this invention.
There is no likeness at all between a re-
ceptable for liquids (which was the only
meaning of tank FIVE years ago) and
caterpillar tractor, steel-clad and bristling
with guns (Which is what tank means to-
day even though it retains also its earlier
signi6cance).
A score of years ago, during the war in
South Africa, we were made familiar with
the verb to commander, needless novel
ty, since the English language already had
its exact equivalent in to requisition, and
during the recent war were called upon
to accept another new verb, to profteer,
framed on the model of commander (per-
haps with some memory also of privateer)
and almost as unnecessary as commander,
since we might have brought into general
use the law-term to forestaH. But fore
stall does not suggest all that we think we
recognize in brofteer;; and a new word
justifes its creation even when it conveys
only slight difference in meaning

The everyday cares and duties, which
men call drudgery, are the weights and
counterpoises of the clock of Time, giving
its pendulum true vibration, and its
hands a regular motion; and when they
cease to hang upon the wheels, the pendu-
lum no longer swings, the hands no longer
move, the clock stands still.-Henry Long,

It's three generations from shirt sleeves
to shirt sleeves A man goes out in his
shirt sleeves and gets his living, but he
decides that his children shall have more
opportunity than he, so he gives them an
education. The sons make money by their
educational advantage, and they pass it on
to their sons, who have never known the
struggle of acquisition. The sons sons go
through it. And so the shirt-sleeve pro-

there is enough truth in it to prove what
I want to say. Even God himself put the
Jews through the process of adversely to

He wanted to tougher them and make

Disrael was Kissed down in the British

and stiffened his resolve. Grants reverses

to win his later victories. 1t makes all

If you struggle before you achieve, you
will have character to hold you steady

RECOVERING'V VAST TREASURES.
FROM THE DEEP

Goods and specie to the value of many
hundreds of millions of dollars are await
ing recovery from the bottom of the sea
around the coast of Great Britain.
Of the 5,612 ships belonging to the
Allies which were sunk by mines and Ger
man submarines, over 1000 vessels of
from 200 to 10000 tons are lying in less
than twenty fathoms (120 feet) of water
around the British Isles.
The Admiralty has prepared chart of
these, showing the position of every sun
ken vessel between Dungeness and the
Tyne. They are indicated by little black
dots, which show that the Germans reaped
their richest harvests off Deal, Aldeburgh,
and between Marlborough Head and
Whitby, while the mouth of the Thames is
a chain of wrecks.
Salving operations were conducted dur
ing and after the war, with the result that
of the 5,612 ships sunk 500 have been sal
vaged, the value of the recovered ships
and cargoes being estimated at $300,000,-
900.
1t is believed that at least another ST.
250,00O,000 can be recovered, and double
that amount if anyone can invent new
method of deep-water salvage.
AT present it is not possible for diver
to operate at greater depth than 120 feet
if he is trying to recover the ship itself,
although cargo can be recovered at greater
depths.
Perhaps the most remarkable salving
coming from two other jets in the same
connection with the White Star liner
Laurentic, which lies in twenty fathoms of
water off the North Coast of Ireland. The
Laurentic was sunk, either by mine or
submarine, while on voyage to the
United States in the early part of 1917.
She carried $4s,OOO,00O in gold and sill
yer.
An attempt was at once made to salve
the specie, but enemy submarines discov-
cred the salvage vessel and attacked her
several times On one occasion the sal
wage boat had to run for safety without
waiting to haul up the diver, who was
towed through the water. Fortunately his
lifeline held and he was eventually saved.
In spite of these dangers, however, and
the fact that divers could not remain at
such depth for more than half hour,
as the water pressure was over fifty pounds
to the square inch, way was blasted TO
the strong room and specie to the value
of about $3O,OOO,OOO was recovered.
An effort is now being made to recover
