Gold From the Sea.

Hunting for gold in the sea has
always been a fascinating pursuit.
There is countless treasure beneath
the waves in sunken ships. Two ex-
peditions are now at work in the East
River of New York near He'll Gate
in search of the hulk of an old ship
of the British Navy, the Hussar,
which was sunk on the 23rd of No
vember, 1880. She was supposed to
have been carrying f960,000 for the
pay Of the British troops then sta
toned in the American colonies. That
money, in gold sovereigns, would now
be worth approximately $s,0oo,oo0,
which is quite enough to tempt the
enterprise Of divers. The wreck is
supposed to lie in the mud at depth
of something more than eighty feet.
One Of the two parties, the promoters
of which believe to be on the right spot,
has located some timbers and if when
they are detached and brought to the
surface they show signs of being part
of a ships hull the work Of reclama-
ton will be pressed at that point.
Meanwhile through quite a different
line of research gold has actually been
extracted from the sea water itself,
through a chemical process. A COM
pany has lately been working on this
line near Wilmington, Del, for the ex-
traction of bromine from the ocean
water. 1t has long been known that
gold exists in the sea, but the secret
OF its transmutation has never been

solved until treatment with colloidal
sulphur was tried. The result of this
experiment is a tiny nugget about the
size of q pin head, half gold and half
silver. which has just been exhibited.
This in itself is not commercially I'M
portant, for the cost of extraction far
exceeds the value of the product. But
as with many another discovery
through laboratory experimentation,
this small beginning may become OF
great value through the perfection OF
procedure. Thus the sea may go on
a gold standard, possibly within a
decade, which would have decidedly
important bearing and effect upon
the monetary systems Of all countries.

"And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord,
I pray thee, open his eyes, that he
may see. And the Lord opened the
eyes of the young man; and he saw;
and, behold, the mountain was fun
of horses and chariots of fire round
about Elisha"
In one form or another, man,
whether savage or civilized, has always
believed in invisible forces. Whether
it's the Alaskan with his totem poles
or the native of India with his shrines,
everywhere and always the spiritual
element is recognized in mans con-
ception of life. Even in periods where
materialism has been most conSpicu-
GUS, such as the French Revolution.
the effort to suppress spiritual yearn-
ings and aspirations has met with
failure. At some time and under
some circumstances every man betrays
his consciousness of the nearnesS OF
the spiritual. He may not define or
express it in the precise words OF a
creed, indeed he may never disclose
it in any act of devotion or worship,
but deep imbedded in his nature
resides a reverence and awe for in
visible and spiritual forces. It may
take a calamity of some sort to give
1t expression, but sooner or later 1t
articulates itself.
In the thrilling story Of the life of
Elisha, the prophet, we have an in
cident recorded that is designed to set
forth the reality of spiritual forces.
In the sixth chapter of Second Kings
a situation Is presented in which
Elisha is encompassed by his enemies.
A Syrian king had sought to over
come by strategy the King of Israel,
and had it rot been for the prophet
his plans would have met with sue
cess. Learning that all his schemes
were being frustrated by Elisha, he
said to his officers: Go and spy
where he is, that I may send and
fetch him." Locating him at length
in Dothan, "the king sent horses and
chariots and a great host; and they
came by night and compassed the
city. And when the servant Of the
man of God was risen early, and gone
forth, behold, an host compassed the
city. And his servant said unto
Elisha, Alas. my master. how shall We
do?" The situation presented seemed
critical in the extreme, but 1t did not
unnerve or destroy the confidence of
the prophet. And he answered, Fear
not, for they that be with us are more

Macdonald Again
On British Stage
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, October 6.-Ramsay Mac
Donald, prime minister of Great Brit
ain, has just reappeared upon the
public stage.
No words can exaggerate the dark
obscurity in which Mr.. Macdonald
has been engulfed for the past four
months. If his name had been put
upon the Index" and reference to
him had been made a punishable Of
fense, he could hardly have vanished
more utterly from public notice than
has been the case since he left these
shores. That he has been on the
other side Of the Atlantic we know,
but beyond this we heard nothing. I
am myself a tolerably close student OF
the press, but apart from one or two
brief illusions to his movements in
Canada a month or so ago saw
nothing that threw light on his where
abouts, his intentions or his health.

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

"The national lottery is coming
that Is the very positive conviction OF
Representative Edward A. Kenney Of
New Jersey, who has beeen in the
Capital for several days conferring
with administration leaders. 81 have
assurance from colleagues all over the
country that they will vote for my
national lottery bill in the coming ses-
sion Of Congress-" said Mr.. Kenney,
because they have heard the man in
the street and his neighbors talking
about it."
Representative Kenney is one Of the
younger, progressive members Of Con-
gress, and during the last session lost
no opportunity to get in a few words
on the floor, repeatedly emphasizing
the advantages of a national lottery
He built up a cohesive following not
only on the measure but on other legis-
lative proposals.
This fellow Kenney Is quite "man's
man." During his college days at
Williams-he was born in Clinton
Mass.-he was q gentleman driver at
various horse meets and country fairs
driving his own fast horse IN the now
almost obsolete gig and old-fashioned
surrey. He was so devoted to his horse
that he rode with him in box cars.
He has the deepest sympathy in q
practical way for his fellow-man in
distress and established a sort OF
bread-line of his own, only he called
it club. He had the basement OF his
home fitted up as a clubhouse, with a
bar, at which he served coffee and
sandwiches to hundreds Of those who
otherwise would have been without
breakfast, dinner or supper, and made
them feel as guests rather than down.

est aim in the doling out Of relief To
the needy is to preserve their own
self-respect.

Lots Of Cooks-and Mud.

Righteous indignation might be de-
fined as the sort of indignation which
moves mothers of pupils in Alice Deal
Junior High School to protest against
conditions surrounding that proud
structure. The conditions are nothing
less than abominable and have been
little better than abominable for the
past three years-since the completion
Of the school. Right now, with so
much rain, the incompleted grading
Of the proposed Fort drive, on which
the school faces. is the direct cause
Of the trouble. Children who do not
wade through the mud must swim
through it.
The unfinished Fort drive is a
monument to the c. w. A. If the
c. W. A had been continued the
Fort drive might have been finished
by now. But abandonment of the
c. w. A. theory by the Nations best
minds left fine lot of mud, the like
Of which would be hard to duplicate
in this part of the country. Some day
there will be money to complete the
drive and the mud evil will be elimi-
mated.
But when the Fort drive is paved,
wide and handsome, it will become a
traffic boulevard, running by the front
entrance of a large school. The ex-
PLANTATION of this curious state of
affairs will be found in a study of
what is known as esthetics-a course
in which should be established in all
the primary grades. The municipal
authorities and the School Board
wanted the Alice Deal building to
face on quiet Jennifer street. The
Park and Planning Commission con-
sidered it inappropriate to have a
fine school building turn its back on
the proposed Fort drive. So the school
was turned around against the wishes
OF the local authorities, and as soon
as the mud menace is eliminated the
traffic menace will be substituted-this
process being known as esthetic prog
ress.
Not far from the Alice Deal Junior
High School is the Woodrow Wilson
High School, almost ready for occu-
pancy. Another example Of esthetic
progress will be discovered by the
painstaking student at the woodrow
Wilson High School. Here the local
authorities, including the late NUM-
cipal architect, Mr.. Harris, and the
School Board, wanted the school
building to face on Chesapeake street
with the stadium behind it. But the
Commission of Fine Arts decided the
stadium should be in front OF the
building instead of behind it. That
Is the way it will be. 1t is to be
hoped that the picture OF lovely
ereensward and shrubbery that the
Commission of Fine Arts doubtless had
in mind when it insisted on the sta
dium's being placed in front Of the
school will be realized. The difficulty
is that grass and shrubbery do not
grow on high school stadiunls, used
as Fairgrounds and athletic fields,
and that when ones esthetic eye
wishes to wander over the beauties
of the front facade of Woodrow Will
son High School it must first leap a
ten-foot wire fence inclosing dirt
surfaced athletic field. The impress
sion is not happy one.
