UNSINKABLE SAFE FOR SHIPS
Dutchman lnvents Stronebox That Will Signal for Help When Over
 board at Sea.

The Hague, Holland.-The Dutch East Indian mail steamers have just been equipped with floating safes large enough to contain all of the ships valuables and registered mail. They look something like a cross between a floating buoy and a submarine and are equipped to ring bells, shoot off skyrockets, flash lights and blow horns.
 The safe, the invention of a Dutch man, is claimed to be absolutely un- sinkable, and, if cast overheard in the event its ship should sink, would go floating about the seas, attracting at tention to itself until its clockwork machinery ran down. It would carry number of rockets, to be set off at regular intervals, and It's machinery, it Is claimed, would operate it for more than a month.

GIVEN NEW LAW CODE
Samoan Statutes Revised AIonq
 American Lines.
Big Contrast to Old System of the Ma. tives, Which Has Been in Force
 for Many Years.

Pago Pago, American Samoa.-A new code of laws based on American statutes has developed in American Samoa from the disturbance of las year which eliminated in the suicide of the governor, Commander Warren J. Terhune
 The revised laws, drawn by Capt Waldo Evans, the new governor, and Judge A. M Noble, and submitted to the native chiefs, mark an interesting change from the early laws provided for the Samoans.
 When in 1900 the first secretary of native affairs, Judge Gurr asked the native rulers of the Samoan villages to submit laws to him for reeom- mendation to the first governor, he received from various villages a copy of the ten commandments of the Bible. This was accompanied with the sug- gestion that penalties for their viola tion should consist of a fine in the shape of a hog and barrel of beef.
 These recommendations were not adopted as whole, for such penalties would have resulted in every Offense paving the way for feast in the vil- lage This, officials decided, would prove too much of a temptation for the natives.
 It is the custom of the Samoans, and was then, that when any offense is complained of and the offender not known, for the native pastor. or native magistrate, to compel each person in the village to declare his or her in- nocence by oath on the Bible.
 On one occasion some church money was stolen from the box of a Samoan pastor, where it had been placed for safe-keeping. The native pastor i'm mediately went from house to house with Bible, swearing in every in- mate, but everyone declared innocence. He, however, forgot to take the oath and the thief remained a mys- tery
 Some years afterward the pastor be- came seriously i'll and his relatives were called together Having made certain that they were all in a forgiv- ing mood, he then confessed that he was the culprit. Under the circum- stances his people felt they could not but forgive him. Thereupon 1t was astonishing how rapid was his recov- cry.

HUNT CHURCH LOOT
New Party Formed to Seek
 Treasure of Bandits.
Wealth of Gold and Precious Stones Taken From Church in Peru Dur
 ing Revolution and Buried.

Papeete, Tahiti (Society Islands).- Interest has once more been aroused in the treasure reputed to be buried tn the island of Pinaki, one of the coral islands to the eastward of Ia hit, and new association has been formed in Tahiti to seek for the treas ure.
 The story is that during revolu- ton in Peru 60 years ago a church was footed of a rich treasure of gold and precious stones by four men, who succeeded in getting 1t to the coast where they buried 1t in safe place, afterward making their way to Pana- ma.
 Having secured a schooner there they returned to Peru, recovered the treasure and sailed to the westward, intending to make Australia their destination Without papers, they could not gain entrance to any port
 So they determined to bury the treasure on an uninhabited island un- til such time as they could get ship with proper papers and return to the island.
 They scuttled their schooner on the Australian coast and coming ashore in the guise of shipwrecked sailors, started for Sidney overland. Two only, by name Killrain and Brown, arrived in Sidney; the other two having been killed In fight with bush natives. Such is the story of the burial of the treasure.
 The tale of the attempts for it's re- covery begins in 1912 or 1913 when one day on the streets of Sidney a man by the name of Thompson was accosted by an elderly beggar seeking aims. On giving the man a small sum Thompson was surprised by the re- quest for his name and address.
 Some time later he was summoned to one of the hospitals of the city. There he discovered that the one who whom he had befriended some time before. The old man told him that he had sent for him to disclose to him the resting place of great treasure
 He said that he. Killrain, being the only survivor of the company and about to die, did not wish the secret to perish with him.
 Thus 1t was that Thompson came into the knowledge of the story and sailing directions to locate the island. Being convinced that the story was founded on truth, he has spent eight years in search of ft-so far without success.
 Lately, some people in Tahiti have discovered what they believe to be new clue and are preparing to fit out an expedition to go to the island.

HIGH SKIRT, HIGH RISK RATE
ems Dress lnso Consideration in Fixing Fees.

Geneva.-SwisS women who wear short skirts and low-necked gowns will have to pay higher rates of life insurance than those who do not.
 The Swiss insurance companies have announced that fixing the pre- miums on policies of women's lives, they will take into consideration the women's wearing apparel. The short CT the skirt or lower the decollete, the higher the insurance rate will be.
 The Swiss companies justify this ac- tion on the ground of a great increase of illness and disease among women.

TO WORK ON SKATES
Pueblo Woman After Flood Solves
Transportation Problem by
Using Rollers.

PUEBLO, Colo, July 2o.-One or
the chief concerns of many persons
In and around Pueblo following the
recent flood was transportation. Not
so, however, with one ingenious
young lady, with whom this tale has
to do.
Before the flood waters receded
the only means OF reaching Pueblo
from outside was by airplane, and
the latter were unable to make a
landing within the city limits.
After the water and huge masses
OF mud and debris had been removed
from the streets the principal mode
Of travel about the city was that
used by Adam and Eve previous to
the original flood.
Nearly all the automobiles on the
stree " were engaged in some branch
Of the reclamation work, and II was
several weeks before the street rail-
way company succeeded in getting
its cars in operation.
This condition, in an industrial
city like Pueblo, where so many
working people live on one side OF
town and work on the other. caused
a great deal of speculation as to
How can | get thereY"
The young lady referred to was
much perpleXed for a time over the
difficulty Of reaching her place OF
employment on time. Being an en-
thusiastic devotee Of roller skating.
however, she conceived the idea OF
accomplishing her daily travelling via
the rOller-skate route. She brought
out her skates, strapped them TO her
dainty eXtremities and, pronto the
problem was solved.
She rolled merrily along 10 and
from her work, lodging. with a
smile, in and out among the hurry
ing crowds, changing the time-hon-
ored phrase, Business before pleas
ure," to business with pleasure"
while 1t il not anticipated that, the
sidewalk roller skating fad will
reach such proportions In Pueblo as
TO seriously curtail the business OF
the street car company. 1t Is believ-
ed that many who have been visiting
amusement parks and paying for
the privilege OF skating will emulate
his khaki-clad miss and SECURE a
little healthful recreation In going
to and coming from their daily
tasks
