BUSINESS NOTICES

AS printed IN The Times
columns on tuesday. October
18th, 1913:
Apply good common sense.
No matter what you under
take to do. see nothing but
success, think nothing but
success, and allow nothing to
interfere.
Right all wrongs, no matter
how great the loss.
A merchant should be lib
eral in all his views, and most
generous in all his dealings.
A merchant must be an OPP
tomist; he must believe that
the world is growing better.
that the people arc living bet
Ter, and are demanding more
dependable merchandise.

Ship By Use of Inflated
POntOO71S VIII Be Tried

New York. April 1S.-Weighed
down with the combined hopes of
a band of adventures ranging
from metropolitan business men to
officers of King Georges house
hold at Buckingham palace, the
little converted French warship,
Blue Point, is nosing her way to
Anatasia island, off the coast of
Florida, with the Saliger salvage
expedition on board to renew the
attempt made by the same group
to recover the lost steamship Isis
last fall.
Stormy weather caused the
abandonment of the effort last De-
tober after the expedition had
suffered intense punishment and
lost much of its paraphernalia,
hence the employment at this time
of staunch craft, which during
its experience as a mine sweeper
and more recently as steam
trawler off the New Foundland
banks established a reputation as
one of the most seaworthy ships
afloat Thirty marine engineers,
divers and wreckers are on boar0
with their unique equipment with
which they expect to revolutionize
present salvage methods through
out the world.
Their objective is not far from
st. Augustine, where the Isis lies
completely submerged. The lavish
fittings which A. G. Spaulding in
stalled when she was his private
yacht and the paraphernalia
placed on board by the navy, and
more recently by the goedetic sur
vey when that branch of the serv-
ice took her over, is affording
sport for the sharks with which
these waters abound. Originally
valued at $1,000. 1000, the Isis Of
fers a rich prize for the salvager,
especially in view of the costly
scientific apparatus that the geo.
detic survey installed and the sup
plies intended for a years, cruise.

alton hopes to recover this wealth

the latter and pumped full of air,
through the application of a prin-
ciple that may be seen demon
strated at any beach, river or pon1
where children are at play. The
air bags that the more timid ones
thrust under their arms are tiny
prototypes of the resilient and col
lapsible pontoons employed by the
Saliger system to obviate the use
of costly and immobile cranes,
derricks and rigid pontoons. The
Saliger air bags are huge affairs
resembling in appearance great
footballs when inflated, but su5-
ceptible for transport and when
being lowered alongside sunken
ship.
After a mechanical mole" has
burrowed it's way under the ship,
drawing the lifting cables in its
wake, the rontoons are attached to
