OLDEST MICROBES,
FOUND IMPRISONED
In AMBER, ALIVE
French Scientist Discovers What
Are Believed to be Earliest
Inhabitants of Earth

PARIS, May Living organisms
imprisoned in amber and believed to
be incomparably older than Inc mic
robes found in Egyptian lapyria
have been discovered by DR.. Galippe
of the French Academy Of Science,
and it is thought by some biologists
that these organisms may pr0Da bly,
be among the very early elements
possessing life, to inhabit the earth.
Amber is said to have beel formed
in the very early stages Of the
earths history but DR.. Galippe is
convinced that micro organisms could
only have been imprisoned in the
amber while it was in course Of
formation.
AS soon as these organisms we're
set free from their prison they are
said to have manifested very evident
signs of life and when cultivated,
developed great activity The or
ganisms are of course very clement
airy but this fact detracts little from
the marvel that they are living sur
vivals from a period for earlier than
that of prehistoric man.

TREASURE HUNTERS
TO SOUND SEA OFF
VANCOUVER ISLAND
Salvagers Seek Cargoes Of Rich
Freighters Sunk in Peri
lous Waters

VANCOUVER, B. c., May Ito
delve into the unknown depths Of the
sea off the west coast of Vancou-
yer Island and wrest therefrom the
treasures hidden for many years is
the object of S. Madison and his
party of salvagers who plan to begin
operations early this month
Last year Madison made sub
marine cruises along the crags which
line the coast of the island and
located four large wrecks besides
number of small ones
Two of the larger he identified
as the Pass-ofMelford and the Val
encia, and one of the others he thinks
is the long lost H. NJ. S. Condor
which disappeared in 1903 and has
not been heard of since.
Some of the boats which met
their fate on the perilous west coast
carried cargoes which at the time of
sinking did not make it worth while
salvaging, but under present day con-
ditions it is thought there is freight
aboard the vessels almost worth its
weight in gold.
