B0OKMARKS OF EVERY KIND
Strip of Bacon About the Most Unique
That Des Moines Librarian Has
Yet Found.

The most startling marker that For.
est B. Spaulding, public librarian OF
Des Moines, Iowa, has come across in
the books that have circulated from
the library was a strip of underdone
bacon. The most ordinary bookmark
found in the books is the common va
rfety of wire hairpin. Hairpins might
be collected by the hundreds. Mr..
Spaulding says, but owing to that
very fact they are considered as fair
ly worthless from the collectors stand
point.
The vacation season is announced
annually by the presence of snapshots
in the returned books. These are both
personal or otherwise in character,
Postcards and letters, too, come in
often. Frequently letters addressed
and stamped are found just as they
we're left by the book borrower who
doubtless was proceeding postoffice-
ward by way Of the library. These are
mailed from the library.

ID IN GRIP OF NEPTUNE
Hope Renewed That Millions Lost In
Treasure Ships May Be Brought
to the Surface.

Somewhere in the sea Off the coast
OF Zululand lies the ship Dorothea,
which went down on Tenedos reef,
carrying with her, so some people be-
lieve, part of the fortune of Dom Paul
Kruger, once president of the Trans
vaal, and rumor has 1t that plans are
afoot to fit out British expedition
In the hope Of salvaging her. The
war has improved methods of salvag-
ing sunken ships. and, if the Dorothea
really carried it, the gold cemented
into the hold of the vessel has been
estimated at over S3,00O0O0. Before
the war a syndicate was organized to
attempt recovery of the vessel, and
unsuccessful efforts were made TO To-
cate her; now the project is again pos
Sible-perhaps all the more so, because
time has accumulated so many treas
ure ships which are again under dis
cussion. A list recently published in
cludes: The Grosvenor, lost on the
Pendoland coast, with S8,750,000; the
Ariston, in Marcus bay, with $4,000,
900; the Birkenhead, on Birkenhead
reef, with S3,o0O,000; the Dorothea, on
Tenedos reef with $3,250,000; the
Abercrombie, with 100000; the Mere
stein, with 100000, and the Thunder
bolt, with $2,750,000. If a sunken
treasure enterprise fails of one treas
ure ship, perhaps it can find another.
SO far, however, the sea has proved
miser with the gold 1t has acquired
may the modern Improvements in sal
yaging equipment change the habit.
