GIANT STEEL HANDS WILL
GROPE FOR LOST MILLIONS
Will Paw Ocean Depths in Effort,
to Recover $5, 900, 900 in Gold.

T London.-Immens steel hands will
reach down through IS fathoms of wa
ter and seek out the $5,0OO,00O in gold
which sunk with the P. & 0. liner
Egypt six months ago off Ushant.
Cropping through the silence of the
water, these almost human machines
will feel their way to the vaults of
the ship where the gold was stored.
A Swedish engineering firm has
agreed to spend 100000 to raise the
gold They are confident of success.
If they do they will keep 100000
and Lloyd's, who met the heaviest
loss in~the shipwreck, will get the re-
Inainder.
A specially equipped submarine Will
be sent to the bottom when the wreck
has been definitely found. The hulk
will be explored from all sides and
accurate charts made. Targets will
then be selected in the Egypt's hull
and large holes made with tOrpedoes-
Exactly what Will happen then is a
dark secret, except for the fact that
monstrous engineering device,
rivaling the dreams even Of Jules
Verne is in preparation for the work.
All that is known is that the human
hand is the underlying motif of the
scheme.
The hands, attached to giant arms,
will reach into the ship and grasp the
chests of gold. The steel fingers will
not relax even though the water at
that depth would crush divers he'll
met. The treasure will be lifted at
the sea bottom and then brought to
the surface.
Details of this romantic undertaking
have been threshed out by hard
headed business men who are behind
it and work will begin in May. 1t
will last three summers. If the prof.
ect succeeds it, Will open up the pros
pect of recovering untold millions now
at the bottom of the sea.

Lands IN Court on Charge
of Drunkenness.

The ghosts OF Halloween had
visited his home, Maurice Murray.

strange noises upstairs. He tiptoed
up the steps. Something very much
like a groan ernanated from the
bathroom. A cold chill chased up
and down his spine. put he gathered
up his courage and bravely entered.
to behold a strange sight.
A figure dressed in feminine at
tire, of brilliant hue, topped by a
most masculine mahogany face, was
peacefully reclining in the bath tub,
using tea kettle as a pillow. The
fearful groan turned out to be a
most contented snore and a strong
odor of alcohol pervaded the room.
Murray went down TO summon
the police, and when he returned
upstairs he found his unlimited
guest. one George e. Hall. colored,
had sufficiently regained his senses
to look for bed. He had found
one in an adjoining room and had
removed his shoes preparatory to
retiring.
All of this developed in police
court today when Hall was ar
raigned before Judge Gus A.
Schuldt, charged with intoxication.
Policeman C. e. Trammell ap.
peared against him and told the
story. Hall was sentenced to pay
a fine of SIS or serve an equal

Camden's charge is that the de-
tecfives naistook him for the assail-
ant of Daniel Henderson, who was

threw him in the car, spraining his
left shoulder and beating him with
their fists, until three men, who

FOOD QUALITIES OF APPLE
HIGHEST, SAYS SCIENTIST

With the large apple crop this
year growers and shippers through
out the country are endeavoring to
teach the public the eating Of APP
pies, one of our leading foods, in
connection with the celebration of
National Apple Week now beng
held.
It has been shown by Prof. Jaffa,
of the California experiment station,
that 10 cents expended for apples
will furnish three times as much
in energy Galleries as 10 cents spent
for porterhouse steak. His report
shows that apples contain more
energy calories than plums or
oranges.
Local merchants are endeavoring
to win the trophy cup given to the
city having the best display during

 The day to which Kenneth Lang was looking forward with such fond anticipations was clear and even hotter than it's predecessors.
 "Beasrly weather in which to go anywhere on the trainl" Samuel Grant complained at the dinner table that noon. "But Henderson's too far away For me to care to drive there for it's over rotten piece of road.
 Ruth, my train leaves at 2. Be ready to drive me to the station at 10 minutes of. Then you young folks can start on your jaunt as soon as and do not gC over any rough roads. Remember MT. Lang's arm and shoulder
 ised. And Lang added his assur- ance that his> arm and shoulder were almost as good as ever"
 "No they're not" his host contra dicted. But they'll be all right if you give them proper consideration. Your mothers train gets in at six. l will be back by five, and will take cab up from the train, so you need not hurry home. But be sure to be here in time for me to drive tC the station for Mrs. Lang"
 we will be back in time" Ruth promised Don't worry. father, fa- ther dear"
 Then. as dinner was over, she slipped away to give some directions to Martha.
 A Very Hot Day
 By 2:30 she had returned from the station and was ready to start for the drive into the country. AS she seated herself at the wheel of the little car, she glanced up at the sky It's awfully hot" she remarked, yeti left the top of the car down Will the sun bother your"

 She started her car, then turned off
