method they will be loaded into buckets
by hand. Leavitt and his associates, how
ever, believe that they can get the bulk
of the bullion that is said to be in the
hold of the great liner by means of the
usual dredgers' clam shell and other
familiar dredging equipment, once they
have forced their way to the strong
rooms.
Besides the enormous pressure exerted
by the water at great depth, Leavitt had
other difficulties to overcome. Probably
the greatest of these secondary diff
culties was that of providing light for
the work
Darkness increases rapidly with depth
under water, and the inability to get light
has been one Of the greatest stumbling
blocks in salvage work heretofore Leav-
lit experimental for some years and
finally constructed a huge glass bulb Of
great strength 1t has been tested to
more than 200 pounds pressure without
showing the slightest sign of crack.
Leavitt will need three of these lights,
each of 300 candle power. Even with that
equipment he will be able to see only
few feet in any direction.
Marine experts differ as to the prob
able success Of Leavltt's attempt. Many,
basing their belief on his success in the
salvaging of the Pewabic, which lay at
depth Of 361 feet, and upon the ap-
parent completeness Of the preparations
made by the expedition. look for his sue

Leavitt asserts that his suit can stand
the tremendous pressure Of 200 pounds
to the square inch, to which any object is
subjected 500 feet below the surface The
Lusitania. however, lies at depth of
only 2S5 feet
Leavitt's suit is armored from head to
foot. The main section is a heavy man
ganese bronze casting, covering trunk
and head. Leg and arm pieces are made
of specially constructed copper coil,
planned to give the utmost possible pro-
lection while permitting comparatively
free movement of the limbs.
Leavitt's only communication with the
surface will be by means of telephone
wire, strung through a specially con-
structed steel cable, built to lift twenty
tons. The inventor believes that the cable
and the suit will be strong enough to
withstand any pull necessary to free the
diver If he becomes caught in the wreck
age.
His air supply will be carried in the
form of oxygen, a cylinder being fixed
into the back of the main casting. 1t is
equipped with reducing valve that will
supply one and quarter feet OF oxygen
an hour, properly mixed with hydrogen.
That is the amount required by normal
adult while at work. The poisonous
carbon dioxide from the divers lungs
will be absorbed by a can of caustic soda
fixed in another niche in the casting.
Dynamite will be used by the Leavitt
expedition to create a pathway to the
strong rooms, and clam shell bucket
to lift the treasure. If valuables are
found that cannot be reached by that

Etchings of the Orient

ON A CHINESE SCREEN. BY w. Somerset
Vaughan. George III. Doran Company.
TN approaching this book the reviewer
that the author has so completely
and tersely summed it up in his title.
Imagine, if you please. composite, all
embracing Chinese screen, filled with the
full flavor of the Orient; imagine such a
screen translated into delicate. serene, pic
turesque prose, with a sense of style that
sertive-and you have, as nearly as words
can convey. some idea of the substance of
this agreeable volume. Open anywhere at
random and you will run across little
gem of description. gay or tragic. that will
leave something indelible in your memory
Here, for instance, under the title THE
Beast of Burden" he describes the coolie:
you see old men without an ounce of
fat on their bodies their skin loose on
their bones, wizened. their little faces
wrinkled and apelike. with hair gray and
thin. and they totter under their burdens
to the edge of the grave in which at last
they shall have rest"
In sharp contrast is THE Cabinet Min
ister," thin man, with thin. aristocratic
hands, and the look of a student or a
dreamer" He shows Mr.. Vaughan his
priceless porcelains, bronzes and Tang fig
ures, and discourses with rare knowledge
upon native art. But to me-" adds the

the most comprehensive

ALL AMERICA THEORY
Is AN IMPOSSIBILITY
Football Has Been Growing by
Leaps and Bounds.
No Man in This Progressive Age Can
See Enough Players and Games
to Warrant the Selection OF
Eleven Best Men.

There was a time when football ex-
perts took d hard look at the Har-
ward lineup and then
went home with the feeling that they
we're well qualified to pick their All
American teams. No other games
mattered, No other players figured. All
America en- the gridiron in those days
mot n generation ago-was bounded
by Cambridge, Massachusetts; New
Haven, Connecticut, and Princeton,
New Jersey. so far as football was
concerned. State College, Pennsyl-
yania DInyiIe, Kentucky; Berkeley,
California ard Atlanta, Georgia, might
lust as we'll have been trading posts
IN the Hudson Bay territory.
When Waiter Camp originated the
All America idea in 1888 he named
Eve men from Princeton, three from
Yale and three from Harvard, and
called it.a fine seasons work. In 1890
a PENNSYLVANIA man crept into the
list: in 1894 Cornell gained repre-
sentation on the All America. When
In 1897 H.rschberger of Chicago and
in 1898 Seneca of the Carlisle Indians
won places in the all-star combina-
lion there was great ado. Football
was growing by leaps and bounds, the
experts proclaimed.
It did grow by leaps and bounds.
II has kept growing by leaps and
bounds. and it promises to keep ON
growing in just that way. Progress
in the East has made 1t difficult
task to select an All East eleven.
Remarkable Roadway in the South
and on the Pacific coast has MADE
the All America team an impossibility
With the Middle West and the South
scoring over the best in the East. with
the Pacific coast winning over the
hest in the Middle West, with the
Missouri valley grown to great foot
ball stature and the Southwest clamor-
ing for recognition too, no man, even Id
this age of airplanes, can in a single
season see enough games and enough
players to warrant his naming an All
America team. Were he able to see
he could not crowd bis stars into ar
eleven.
The All America eleven has gone
the way bare knuckles and Londol

glamour of romance begins to grow
about the All Americans of the ole
days. Another generation anu they
