Identification Easy
The battery room in which Tes-
chemacher and Gibson were found
had been torn asunder by the sharp
bow of the City of Rome.
Both bodies quickly were identified
when brought out of the steel shell.
All the identifications, tags and fin
gerprints previously had been sent
here to the Camden for use when
the bodies should be brought out.
The divers had been halted during
the night by adverse tides. Chrystie
had sent them down in the evening
with instructions to go through
the battery room hatch and explore
within. The divers sent down
were Harry Reinhardt and William
Reid, civilians, working unde- the
direction Of Chrystie.
Exploring Baked
Neither could explore the int Tor,
however, because 1t was dark below
and for some reason there was no
submarine lighting device used.
Rough seas necessitated continued
suspension of attempts by the der.

dragged back to Newport because Of
the weather.
1t was the second time In two days
that the cranes had been forced
from the scene of the wreck. Yester-
day thew had numbered back to Block
Island when the sea swells proved
too much for them.

lightning Is caused by electrical dis
charges between clouds, or between
clouds and tire earth. We know that
the air and the earth are charged
with electricity of opposite kinds
positive and negative-and that
there is a constant interchange Of
electricity going on between them.
Ordinarily this does not manifest It,
self as lightning, because moist air
is a fairly good conductor. When
the air becomes dry, however, the
interchange becomes more difficult,
with the result that the airt becomes
heavily charged, and enormous
quantities Of electricity accumulate
in clouds. Finally when the charge
becomes so great that it can over
come the resistance Of the at

lently across the gap to a hilltop.

Instruction itself is badly dis

CLAS DESIGNS
TWONEW HOMES
FOR RINGLINGS

There is a stampede or people
from the north into Florida which
eclipses the gold rush to California
the oil rush into Oklahoma. the
stampede to Cripple Creek or the
scramble Tor the Klondike, accord
ing to A. c. Clas, Milwaukee .archi-
tect, who says there has been moth
ing like it in the history of this
country.
Mr.. Clas returned a few days
ago from Sarasota, one of the
boom towns on the west coast.
While there he was commissioned
to design two magnificent homes
for members of the Ringing fam
lily. He expects to return there
in about a week.
The Milwaukee architect is we'll
known in Baraboo and has done
some work here, including the re-
modelling of the Bank of Baraboo
and the designing of Walnut Hill
cemetery entrance.
Sell The Climate
Hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie are pouring into Florida" says
Mr.. Clas. "The curious phase of
it is that Florida has little or moth
ing to sell but it's climate The
nature of this rush differs from
that of other days. They are not
pioneers or hardy adventurers, but
people of means coming in comfort
by trains, automobiles, yachts and
airplanes, to gamble not for wealth
hidden in the bowels of the earth
but for the wealth lying on vacant
lots on the surface, wealth created
by nothing more than a love of
sunshine.
"Only one-fifth of Florida's area
is under cultivation and one-half
of that is poorly done, but going
through the state by rail and auto
mobile one sees thousands of acres
cleared and made ready for sruit
orchards and truck farms. Go
