that the government has resolved to

The whole OF Hungary desires a
monarchy as its future form of
government, according to Baron
Karonyi. But the Hungarian mon

USE FRUIT TO MAKE JARS
Common Household Utensils Con.
structed Of Peculiar Ware In
Central Province Of India.

There Is peculiar ware that is
made by the Banjaras in the central
provinces of India from the fruit Of
the aoula. The fruit is collected and
dried. 1t is then boiled in water un-
tile quite soft and pounded, the stones
removed and the pulp beaten up and
worked with the hands into a thick,
brown, sticky mass. When this is
quite ready the manufacturer takes. an
earthen vessel-any shape that pleases
him--and covers It all over with a
thick layer or coat Of the pulp. This
Is then put aside to set bit, and
when hard rude devices are stamped
round the neck and shoulders Of the
article, which Is then set aside to dry.
When entirely hard, the gharra inside
is broken and the pieces removed.
These vegetable pots are sold accord
Ing to size from four to eight annas
each.
The aoula tree is abundant through
out the forests of tropical India and
Burma, and the fruits are frequently
employed in medicine and for tanning.
Another material used for making
jars is the root of the great asphodel.
The fleshy root Of this plant, by dry
ing in a sand oven and grinding, is
prepared into q flour, which, when
mixed with hot water, yields most
tenacious vegetable glue with which
the Perslans make great vessels for
holding oil and clarifying butter. The
native cobblers employ 1t in prefer
ence to animal glue In their work.

Cleveland.--Mrs. Margaret Campbell
Goodman. the only woman salvager In
the world, has regained fortune
which went down with the steamer
Pewablc, In Lake Huron, So years ago.
Succeeding where many men had fail
ed, Mrs. Goodman has broadened her
scope Of work until she now has con-
tracts to raise sunken fortunes In al
most every sea.
Mrs. Goodman spent her early life
in Mount Pleasant, Mich, and after
her school days she went TO Toledo,
o., her present home. There she be-
came Interested in diving suits, after
witnessing an exhibition of deep-sea
diving in which the diver went down
361 feet, remaining under water for 40
minutes.
Treasure on Sea Bottom.
This feat Of deep-sea diving con-
WINGED her that securing the floor Of
the sea for sunken treasures would be
profitable business. Remembering
the loss Of the Pewablc, Mrs. Good
man, after much Encouragement, form
ed stock company. She went TO AL
pena. Mich. and found Capt. John Per-
sons, who had stood with his father,
keeper OF the lighthouse In Thunder
Bay and watched the ship founder.
Later. Mrs. Goodman located George
p. Mckay, the captain OF the Pewabic
Captain Mckay was living in Cleve-
land and showed Mrs. Goodman the
manifest of the lost vessel. 1t showed
that the PewabIc carried in her hold
tons of copper. worth 100000 or more,
and several hundred tons Of pig iron.
In the ships express box was $4,000
of "shin plasters."
The work of searching for the Pc.
wabic was begun In 1915. In the first
seasons work, the divers took out 100
tons of copper and 100 tons of pig
iron. Many interesting relics were dis
covered which, when possible, were
forwarded to the relatives Of the sail
ors who had lost their lives q half
century ago. When the treasure chest
Of the ship was brought to the surface,
the "shln plasters" were found to be
watersoaked and valueless.
Considerable work was done In 1917,
until the needs of the government, at
war with the central powers, called a
halt to all salvagIng operations.

Mrs. Goodman's next contract is TO
salvage a schooner that sank In Lake
Erie in 1864. She has release from
the owners and will begin work about
