LONDON, Dec. 6.-King Georges temperature is slightly higher but his strength has been maintained. This was the sense of two bulletins issued Wednesday. The first was issued at 10:30 in the morning. It said: ''The king passed fair night. There are reasons to hope that the recrudescence of the infection which caused the last rise in temperature is being moderated"
 A bulletin issued at 8:15 in the evening, was less optimistic. It stated though the king had a quiet day the temperature has risen to point higher than at the same hour last evening, showing the recrudes- cence of the infection is still active. His strength is maintained" Every thing, apparently, still depends upon upon whether his Majesty's heart can outlast the illness. Sir William Joynson Hicks, Home Secretary, ex- pressed anxiety over the kings con- dition at dinner. It was the first time doubts about the kings recov- cry were voiced publicly.

/
 NEW YORK, April 30-The old. old lure of ssnken treasure is drawing another salvage expedi- ton to the resting places of the Lusitania and other wrecks, many of which met their dooms long before the age of steam.
 Equipped with a 1,400 pound metal diving suit-quite the last word in such apparatus-a party of four adventurers expects to leave New York late next month for the coasts of the British Isles, France and Spain, there to pit the ingenuity of man against the wa tery dungeon wherein nearly $250,- 100000 in lost jewels and gold is believed to be locked.
 H. l.. Bodwoin of Whitestone, Long Island, inventor of the strange diving apparatus, is head ing the party. He Is now nego- tiating for a 153-foot vessel, built on the lines of cable steamer, which will be used as the base of operations, and hopes to go into action off the British Isles some time in June.
 Twelve years of study and work have gone into the making of the huge suit. An old dance hall at Whitestone was converted into a laboratory, and in it Bowdoing planned and replanned, built and rebuilt until he was satisfied that he had the best equipment known to the art of deep sea diving. He made it of steel and aluminium and devised system of levers and coks so that the man within the cumbersome suit could move easily along the ocean bottom. The arms and the body can be turned to almost any angle, and the steel claws that serve as the hands are able to pick up tiny ob. jects.
 A 50O-watt light. specially de vised by the Westinghouse Lamp company, has been mounted in a searchlight attached to the top f the suit. This lamp will permit the diver to see objects 25 feet distant at depths to which no day light penetrates. Bowdoin plans to put a similar lighting unit on each shoulder of the grotesque outfit.
 Air is admitted through the ia miliar rubber tube. and the diver can look out into his world of wa ter through four windows, set into the cylindrical sides of the suit.
 In a sea test made off the New Jersey coast the apparatus was suspended on a crane from the boom of tug and lowered into the ocean by cable. A success full pressure test was made of tho euIt without an occupant at 400 feet. Bowdoin then stepped into his strange steel chamber and was lowered to depth of 200 feet,
