Sunken Ships Sometimes Yield

Lucky Investment by Melbourne Firm
In French Bark Brought Concern
$60,000 for $1,840—Treasures
on British Coast.
London.—Another Instance of lucky
speculation In wrecks has been pro-
vided, a Melbourne firm having bought
a disabled ship for $1,840 and found
that it was worth $60,000. The ship
was the Jean Hart, a French bark of
1,981 tons net, and she was saved from
entire destruction and towed into har-
bor after lying a battered wreck for
two months.
The bark was on a voyage from
Antwerp to Wallaroo, laden with 3,000
tons of pig iron and coke, w hen she
ran aground on Waudang island, in
Spencer gulf, South Australia Her
hold quickly filled, and it was soon
Impossible to float her. For two
months she was In this condition, the
whole after part of the ship being un-
der water. Her captain cabled to his
owners in France for orders and re-
ceived a reply to the effect that she
should be sold at auction
A number of Australian firms sent
representatives to inspect the wreck,
but none of them thought that it was
worth while to buy. It was confidently
stated that salvage was hopeless, but
J. Bell & Co., grain merchants of Mel-
bourne, made a bid, and the wreck
was sold for $1,840. Some critics
laughed and remarked that they were
paying for a hold full of water which
could not be raised. Messrs. Bell said
nothing, but engaged a diver to in-
spect the vessel, and then the news
became known (hat the damage to the
bark was only slight. A hole a little
more than a foot in diameter had been
torn in the bows and the diver re-
ported that this could easily be re-
paired.
Work was begun at once, the water
was pumped out of the hold after the
hole had been plugged up. and after
the vessel was thus lightened she was
towed ofT and beached. After that
further repairs were carried out. so
that the ship could be brought to Mel-
borne to be docked. The work was
successful In spite of a strong gale
right ahead the vessel was towed by
a powerful tug to her destination and
now it is seen that the value of the
ship and cargo is over $60,000. It is

with a valuable cargo on the coast of
Africa. She was given up as hope-
less and sold for a song. The new
owner took a sporting chance—know
ing the value of the cargo—of charter-

and towed her to Gibraltar. Here the ;
cable parted and she was lost for two
days, but ultimately was found again
and brought to the Thames. That
ship is still sailing the seas under an-

fortune out of the deal.

the English language to which only
one sound is attached, nor is there a

our shores. In some cases they are
entirely abandoned to anyone who
cares to take the "pickings,” but In
others they have been sold to local
firms for a small sum. Even the
amount of Iron and wood in some hulls
would pay for the cost of salvage. One
easily remembers the fate of the
Oceana, which went down off Folk
stone; the Manratta, on the Good
wins, and the Preussen. From the
Lizard one can see quite a number of
wrecks on the coast line, and it has
often been suggested that if these
boats were salved systematically a
profitable business could be built up
in that way.”
By GEORGE MUNSON.
“It was somo three years since I d
visited Sister Emma, her living In
I York state and me in Ohio, but when
j she writ me to come and spend the
j month of March, because she had
| something important to say to me,
my natural curiosity overcome me,
and 1 packed my trunk and went.
“ 'Where’s Cynthy?' I asked, soon as
I had kissed Emma and John.
“ That's what I writ you to come
about, Lidy,’ says Emma. She won’t
come home.’
“ But you writ me she had gone to
New York to study art, and was com-
ing home on Washington’s birthday,’
I answered. ’And how about that
young man of hers, Fred Holden?'
"Then the truth came out. Cynthy
had writ she wasn't coming home for
a long time to come and she intimated
if Fred liked to wait for her he could
wait and if he didn't he needn't. She
had an attack of art badly and was
living in a hall bedroom in New York
and doing her own laundry, which is
what art brings one to. And Emma,
knowing how I'd always had a power-
ful influence over Cynthy, wanted me
to go to New York and bring her
home.
"‘How about Fred?' 1 asked.
"Fred just mooned around town and
didn't speak to anyone. I gathered
there had been some sort of quarrel,
so I thought It best to say nothing but
to go to New York as soon as pos-
sible. And a couple of mornings
later I was knocking at Cynthy's door
jn the top floor of a filthy dark tene-
ment place near Washington Square.
" ‘Come in,’ said Cynthy. ’Why,
Aunt Lidy. whatever brung you here?’
“ 'I'll tell you later, Cynthy,’ says I.
Meanwhile, have you got a bite of
luncli for me?’ •
“ ‘Cynthy made tea over the gas and
we ate sausage sandw-iches together,
Cynthy looking at me curious-like ail
the while.
" I sure do love sausage sand-
wiches, especially them forrin kinds,’
says I. and I see a look in Cynthy's
eyes that told me I had got home. I
forgot to say that the tiny room was
all fixed up with hangings and sofa
rible.
" Aunty,' said Cynthy. at last, tak-
ing me by the shoulders, 'tell me, hon-
estly, ain't you shocked at all?'
“ 'Why no,’ says 1. 'I think it's love-
ly to have the artistic spirit. My,
what do we care about those poor
creatures at home?’
" 'But, aunty, I—I do care about
them,' says Cynthy, strangling a sob.
" 'But we’ve flung ’em overboard.' I
says, executing a Pa Soul about the
room. ‘We’re the army of the future,
Cynthy, the army of martyrs. We’ve
left home and husband and swetheart
for art's sake. When're we going to
the club again?’
“ 'But don't father and mother mind
me being artistic?” asks Cynthy.
“ 'They love it,' I answered. ‘And
Fred says, he's glad he found out the
narrerness of his soul, being only a
country lawyer, or he might have
made your life miserable. Don't you
want 'em to approve of your taking
to art, Cynthy?'
"'No,' sobs Cynthy, T wanted to
shock 'em, aunt. I hate art.'
" Hate art!' I exclaimed. ‘Cynthy,
you make me feel terrible. How am
I going to appease my hankerings if
you're going back on me?’
"'But it's different,' says Cynthy,
now fairly crying. You’ve got Uncle
Abe, and you were always contented
at home, and now I've led you astray,
at your age and made him miserable,
and—I'd never have left Monattah,
only Fred told me If I did he'd never
ask me to return, and I couldn't take
that from him—but it all makes me
sick, Aunt Lidy.'
" 'So it does me, Cynthy,’ 1 an-
swered. ‘And maybe I got that wrong
about Fred Holden and Lucy Brown.
Now I come to think of It, it was
Jack Higgins was going with her
My, Cynthy, what's the matter? What
are you hunting for?’
“ 'The time-table,' answers Cynthy."

BUST OF EMPEROR IS FOUND
Sculptor’s Idea of Frederick the Great
Is Discovered in Castle
Vault.
Berlin—The only bust of Frederick
the Great known to have been made
from life has been found In the vaults
af a small castle near Dessau. The
bust disappeared nearly a century ago
and was supposed to be lost perma-
nently, It is the work of the Italian
sculptor, Cavaceppi, made at the per-
I sonal order of the king. He compelled
the artist to reproduce his features
I with unflattering idelity. The result
differs materially from the traditional
pictures of the gTeat warrior. It,
therefore, has great historical as well
as artistic Importance. The bust came
Into the possession of Prince Johann

Every morning the wife pins a

office—a rose when she has one, a
blossom of some plainer sort when
roses are scarce.
This morning she had a rose, but
she withheld the usual delicate atten-
tion, and for the first time he per-
ceived an ominous look In her eyes.
"You never have the flower in your
buttonhole when you come home in
the evenings," began his wife, sarcas-
tically. "How do you always contrive
to lose it?"
“I do not lose it,” he replied “I
wear the flower until I reach my desk.
1 feel that that is far enough for a
plain business man to carry a flow-
er.”
"After reaching your desk, what do
you do with the flower?" she asked.
"I give it away." he replied.
To the girl stenographer?" sug-
gested his wife. Icily.
"Oh, no, I give it to the office boy,"
he answered.
"I beg your pardon, but you do not
give It to the office boy," she retorted
with acerbity. “You give it to the
stenographer. I have seen It pinned
on her shirt waist every day that I
have called at your office. I think I
shall discontinue the flower.”
“In that case I shall lose an office
boy—probably by Bulclde,” remarked
her husband, meeting her Indignant
eyes frankly. 'He Is head over heels
In love with the stenographer, and ts
trying to make a hit with the flower."
Hastily she pinned a rose to her
husband's lapel, and said:
"Be careful not to lose It—and give
it to the office boy as usual."
Nature's Ironies.
The Irony of fate has had few finer
illustrations than that staged in the
western part' of this country during
the last seven months.
A drouth, unrivaled for duration
and severity, held nearly a dozen
states in its grip last summer drying
up wells and streams, parching pas-
tures, ruining crops. As a result of
this drouth, hundreds of thousands or
breeding stock or unfinished steers
were sent to market, because there
was no fodder to carry them through
the winter.
Having struck her blow, nature be-
gan to smile. She sent an open sea-
son which enabled farmers to do their
plowing at a time when the ground
usually is locked In frost. She follow-
ed this favor with a series of snow-
falls throughout the west, ail of them
remarkable and one quite unprece-
dented. Melting snow will supply the
moisture too often lacking, good crops
are almost assured, and not for a gen-
eration has there been such good
range pasture as will be found this
summer But the stock which should
fatten and multiply on that pasture
have gone to the stock yards.—Chi-
cago Journal
Flowers That Give Light.
Under certain conditions nastur-
tiums. sunflowers, dahlias, tube roses
and yellow lilies may be seen to glow
with a soft radiance, varying in color
and Intensity Only those flowers that
have an abundance of yellow or or
ange shades exhibit this phosphor-
escence. The best time to see the
light is after dark, when the atmos
phere is clear and dry. The light is
sometimes steady, but often Intermit

All-Silk Turbans for Early Spring
m
» ■ ■ \
r
P* )R present wear and for early 1
* spring the draped silk turban is to
the fore with more strength ns a
demi-season hat than ever. It is
nearly always "in the running" when
the race of styles comes on. This
.season the vogue of draped hats and
tiie new high-side shapes have made
for the popularity of the all-silk turban.
Two pretty examples of rather dash
ing modes are shown here. In one of
them a long turban frame with a
moderately small crown is draped
with mesaaline satin in amethyst
color The folds of drapery follow the
lines of the frame, sweeping upward
at the left. There Is very little regu
laritv in these folds Two about the
coronet are fairly even, but otherwise
they are freely draped, but follow the j
lines of the shape closely, at that.
The turban is finished with two I
quills in shades of amethyst. They
are poised to carry out the upward
sweeping line at the left side.
A smart turban of black taffeta is
shown in the second figure. The brim j
is covered with irregular folds of the 1
silk and the crown is a large puff
raised high at the left side by an ex-
tension of the shape over which the
silk is draped. Little turbans of this
kind are close fitting and very becom-
ing. This particular style is suited to
youthful wearers, while the longer
shapes, with a less pronounced tilt in
the pose are liked for matrons.
There are so many turbanB of silk,
made In so many ways, that the most
conservative as well as the most dar
ing models are to be found among
them. For trimming, little nosegays
of small flowers, or ornaments of jet
or bows of velvet or of ribbon, seem
most appropriate. Jet, with silk, adds
much to the brilliance of these hats,
and small, gay flowers or fruits give
them the requisite touch of color.
Cleverness In the management of
drapery is the characteristic virtue of
hats of silk for earliest wear. It Is
not as easy as it looks, by any means,
to drape a shape without getting
clumsy effects. That it has been ac-
complished in such a variety of ways
speaks well for the ingenuity of de
signers and trimmers

It Is noticeable that the hairdress

and does away with flying and strag-

most agreeable to those who possess
fluffy and obstinate hair. p

To Make Hose Wear.
If you wear silk hose you may be In
terested In this article. A splendid
way to make silk stockings last longer,,
to really wear to a frazzle, as college
girls say, Is to wear under them a
pair of lisle stockings or an old pair of
silk stockings. The heels and toes of
the under pair may be cut out, being
careful, however, not to cut beyond
the toe of the slipper, or if one is rath j
er hard on stockings these may be left!
in and will act in the nature of a toe i
guard.
Very thin and Inexpensive silk hose
can by this means be made to look like ;
heavy expensive ones. It Is also very
much warmer for the winter weather j
and If worn when dancing will save \
many a young girl a blush of shame 1
over the condition of her Bilk hose at
the end of the evening.
The girl with a very small Income
can keep herself supplied with appar-
ently handsome silk stockings by buy-
ing a 50-cent or even a 35-cent pair
of boot length silk stockings.
Pockets Are Promised.
Tlinnks to skirts becoming more
voluminous about the ht|w, women are
to have pockets In their dresses again.
But will the new pocket relieve them
of the necessity of carrying a hag? Ap-
parently not. for since tHe* pocket was
taken from them >ears ago the num-
ber of articles they usually i arry about
with them has enormously Increased.
Here, for Instance, Is what a woman
generally carries in her bag;
Two handkerchiefs, one smelling
bottle, one pencil, one purse for cop-
pers, one purse for silver or gold, one
small mirror, one powder-puff encased
In silk bag, or one leather, and one
small bottle of eau-de-cologne.
