The Raid on Davy Jones.

Any hunt beneath the sea is a hunt
for treasure, whether it be gold bal
lasted Spanish galieon that sunk in
ancient days, or coal.laden barge that
sunk in last winters storm in Long
Island sound II is something more
than an interesting commercial posi-
bility II has in il tang of romance.
And the pull Of the idea may be seen
from the svidity with which the whole
public reads every new yarn about the
latest project for raising some treas
ure ship that sunk centuries ago with
fabulous wealth on board. Only a few
hundred feet down So near that man
can all but see her! Yes-but you can't
smash Davy Jones' locker as a thief
breaks a plate glass window-not I'M
less you crystalline the sea by chang.

Professional salvage men generally
laugh at all dreams Of practicable OPP
erations at great depths, particularly in
the open sea. Vastly improved meth

make 300 feet a practicable depth; but
anything beyond that is az inaccessible
as the moon. II is waste of paper,
ink, and breath to talk about il. Still,

you can generally trap them into an
impatient admission that devices may
some day be perfected by which a
man in a rigid steel she'll may 60 to
the bottom at practically any depth,
and rig his tackle without the hand

been so essential in salvage work.-The

eyes and his life by drinking anything
as to which he is not absolutely GER
tain.
The Christmas fatslities came after
a long period of warning. Many Of
the victims were illiterate. Others were
doubtless lured by trust in their fellow
men, mingled with the delight of fout
ing the law. In all human probability
the approaching celebration of New
Years eve viii bring, similar harvest
OF fatalities. In the opinion OF DIR.
Holden's committee, the only sure pre-
vention is to provide that wood alcohol
shall be so denatured as to become un-
drinkable. But the project presents
certain difficulties, chemical as well as
legal, which it will take time to over
come. Meantime the normal stock of
wood alcohol is on sale to all buyers.
1t is situation that can be met only
by loud and persistent publicity New

Teachers Salaries.

"0thers of us are forced to receive
assistance in various ways from our
relatives" is an astounding statement
made by teachers in the town of Rock
ingham in a request to the school board
for a raise In salaries OF 90 per cent
astounding If il means there are some
teachers employed by the town who are
not paid enough to pay their board,
room rent, travelling expenses, pro
vide good clothing and leave a reason
able balance for incidentals There are
people who spend $4,000 a year be.
cause they have il 10 spend and yet
have to be helped by their relatives.
All, however, is not spent in living,
necessary living. The school board
ought 20 give the statement Of the
teachers very careful consideration, 60
ing into the details with much care,
and then they should give the public
their findings, not in the town report
next March, but right now in the col
umns of the Bellows Fails Times
which are offered for that purpose
without charge. The teachers want this
increase Of 20 per cent to be retro
active, and the tsxpaying public OF
the town which has to pay the bills
wants TO hear both sides of the story.
If it is as bad a. il seems to the teach
ers, the taxpayers won't hesitate long
about pushing up the taxes and paying
the teachers enough to insure a desir-
able living Bellows Falls Times

Sending Englishmen Over.

There is much to be said for H. G.
Wells suggestion that some one should
establish scholarships which would en-
| able promising students in Great Brit
ain to make a tour of the United
States. The travelling fellowship is not
unknown in England; this would be
but an extension of the thing. But
whether or not students are enabled to
learn something about the United
States, at least journalists who under
take to write about us for the British
public should have leisure for studying
us at first hand or absorbing informa
ton about US from reliable books.
When one sets out to interpret Amer
lean opinion, some vagueness and spec
ulativeness may be tolerated, for OBJ
viously on many questions there aye
conflicting opinions, and it is difficult
to say what one is representative
Moreover, ii writers reflect their own
bias in what they report about Ameri-
can sentiment, they are only doing
what political writers everywhere have
an unfortunate habit of doing.
But the British press is hardly better
when treating matters of fact. Even
the Times, in a recent "leader," assert
ed that the private school was almost
unknown in the United States, where
as one Boston man has published a
book in which about 1000 American
private schools are characterized. A few
years ago paragraph in the Manches-
ter Guardian told how Thomas Mott
Osborne was removed as warden of
Sing Sing for his shocking inhuman-
ity in the treatment Of prisoners. In
diverse minor ways amusing errors con
stantly are coming to light. Only a
few weeks ago a theatrical writer in
the Observer of the best of Brit
ish papers spoke of the excellent pros
pect Of success ahead of certain play
which had moved ON to Washington
after a preliminary test of several
weeks in New York But it is to be
feared that the managers would have
little confidence in play which had
been obliged to leave New York for
Washington or any other provincial
city at an early stage Of its career.
Whatever may be the faults of the
American press, its information about
British affairs is ordinarily more ac-
curste than information about Ameri-
ca in the British press. The recent pro-
posal of an exchange of journalists be
tween the two countries was, perhaps.
even more valuable than Mr.. Wells.'-

Wood AlcOhops Use as Drink.

The New York Academy of Medicine
had great difficulty, some years since,
in prevailing upon manufacturers even
TO label their product Poison" But
the label on the original package is no
safeguard to the patrons of blind tiger
or bootlegger. DR., Ward A. Holden,
who is an oculist Of note and chairman
of the academy's committee on wood
alcohol, gives it as the result of his
professional observation that in the
case Of anyone at all susceptible to the
poison, a single teaspoonful is enough
to cause permanent blindness The
drinkers first realization OF what he
has done comes when the world is blot
ted out from his vision.
For all who are amenable to reason
the case is clear enough. The reserves
of whiskey have been very largely dis.
posed of, and reputable dealers no long
er sell what they have in stock. Any
thing handed over the bar as whiskey
is obviously Of disreputable origin. No
one who has any real sense of the sit.
uation, whatever his regard for the
law or disregard for it, will risk his

Young Blood.

The last decade in the life of Sir
William Osler of oxford-our DR.. Os
ler-should be a source of encourage
ment TO those who have passed three
score He died al 20 and in harness
valued as a teacher OF medicine and
much sought as a consultant. During
these last years his mind had been busy
with new medical problems shell
shock, trench fever and the best ways
Of healing the wounded Even il DR.
0sler had really meant to say that ey-
cry man should be chloroformed at 80,
his own story would explode the
theory
What DIR. 0sler tried to convey to
his Baltimore au Hence Is years ago
was the paramount Importance of an
early start. History had told him that
the greatest inveations and discover
les were given to humanity by men
who had not reached 40. His message
at that time was to the young and to
those whose duty ii was to educate
the young In order TO emphasize his
point he ended his address with a jok
ing reference to chloroferm-too vivid
an illustration.
A great world philosopher has point
ed out that while old mer think clear
ly, young men think profoundly. This
does not mean that old men are use
less, but il does not mean that the hope
OF the future j. always with the men
who are growing up. The great TRACE
dy is that young men are too often
kept at routine Jobs until their first
enthusiasm Is lost. The literature, pro-
fession, business OF political system

Hines believes.
Moreover, Mr.. Hines cautions the
public against taking the extreme cases
of high pay, Of which so much is heard,
as typical of the whole railway labor
situation. The choice Of Mr.. Hines
first as assistant director general Of
railroads and, on Mr.. McAdoo's retire
ment, as director general, was in all re-
spects fortunate, for it called into the

Can Mr.. Bryan Come Back9

In view of the sudden temperance
OF Mr.. Bryan as factor in Democrat
ie politics, il is noteworthy that when
the Democratic state convention in
South Dakota on Dec. ?, was nominal
ing presidential candidates for the COM
ing state primary, no one presented
the name Of Mr. Bryan The omission
TO bring him forward in his old role,
even in a purely complimentary way,
was Of some significance. Ii disclosed
the disappearance even OF the Bryan
tradition in the Democratic party of
South Dakota. which was one Of the
agrarian states peculiarly under the
Bryan influence 20 years ago.
While Mr. Bryan Is still compare

that the young voters" Of 1896, when
he made his FIRST and most dramatic
run for the presidency. are now men

Raising the Sunken Ships.

Not all the ships that were sunk by
German submarines in the world war
win be allowed to rest in ocean graves.
Many of them will be raised to sail
the seas again. Salvaging operations
have been greatly improved in the last
few years. Even wrecked dreadnought
has recently been brought to the sur
face and fioated into a dry dock for re-
construction. Another remarkable re-
covery is that Of the Brussels, the pas
senger steamer which was commanded
by Captain Fryatt, whom the Germans
tried by courtmartial and shot on the
charge Of having attempted to run
down a submarine. The Brussels was
sunk off Zeebrugge before the German
evacuation. She has been raised by the
Belgian government and taken TO Ant
werp for repair, after which she will
be returned to her British owners.
1t may be quite possible to recover
the merchant ships which in October,
1915, were sunk by the U-53 off the
Nantucket shoals. Three of them APP
pear to have been located the other
day by the trawler Petrol through the
tearing of her nets. and the depth at
which they lie is probably such that the
expert salvor can bring them up with
out any great difficulty. For the raising
of ship he il now able to work sue
cessfully at 20 fathoms, or 100 feet,
and for the salvage of cargoes at much
greater depths. His greatest field of
operations win be in the waters around
the British Isles, where more than 1000
sunken vessels have been charted by
the admiralty. They are of all sizes
from 200 to 10000 tons each, and
among them are many tempting prizes
for salvage operations. Next summer
we may see the British merchant navy
largely increased by the saving of lost
ships. Boston Herald

generation of voters whom they first
captivated. In the case OF leader who
is never elected to the presidency and
whatever, the handicap is much the heav-
whateyr, tn handicap is much the heay-
Ter because OF his conspicuous lack Of
achievement. Henry Clay succeeded in
retaining his popular supremacy for
many more years than Mr. Bryan has
been in public life, but he served con-
stantly in Congress or the cabinet
through long period and thus his
arts as politician and orator were
strongly reinforced by the active part
he played in the government Spring
