Captain Gardiner Gives Account of Fortunes to be Won from Neptune. Previous to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1870 all British transports and East Indiamea made the voyage to and from the East by way of the Cape of Good Hope. Many were wrecked. Most of these wrecks lie' close to the shore, and all attempts to salve their contents were, until quite re- cently, attended by great and in roost cases insuperable difficulties, owing to the inefficiency of diving and salving apparatus and the practical impossibility of removing 'he sand with which most vessels submerged for some years are cov- ered. BETTER DIVING APPARA'T'US. During the last few years, how- ever, great strides have been made in perfecting diving apparatus, and it is now practicable to work at a much greater depth than was here. tofore possible. At the same time the introduction of the powerful centrifugal pumps now available renders it possible to remove large Quantities of sand in a very short time. An experienced mariner, Captain Gardiner, is to superintend the op- erations on the wrecks. Evidently they are plentiful down south, for it is stated that after an exhaus- tive search in the archives of Cape Colony the captain selected no fewer than 137 of the more valu- able and accessible wrecks and succeeded during the course of sev- en years, at an expenditure of $20,000, in locating thirty-two of them. Of these he has actually surveyed sixteen and recovered surfaoe property from four of them. The government of the Cape of Good Hope has granted licenses to work these vessels, subject to a royalty of 15 per cent. of the value of property recovered. In his report Captain Gardiner says: WRECKS WORTH MILLIONS. "Although I have been able to ascertain the whereabouts and values of thirty-two wrecks, exhi- biting assets representing a sum er•ceeding 320,000,000, I should mention that I am in a position to Ircate other wrecks, many of which ofler to the recoverer prizes whose worth should figure at hundred of thousands of pounds sterling: "I will not anter upon a detailed statement concerning the thirty - too wrecks to which I refer, but 'fll confine myself to making men- tion of four, "No. 1 Wreck—It is reoor'ded'and corroborated in a report from the captain of this ship to directors of the East India Company that her cargo embraced, among other things, 720 bars of gold, 1,400 bars of silver, nine boxes of precious stones and specie, the reputed ag- gregate value of whielt is calculat- ed to exceed $5,000,000, Tlie assets should be recovered with great fa- cility and with loss difficulty than from most of• the other submerged vessels.

"No: 3 Wreck—The worth of the contents of this vessel represents a value of more than 32,500,000 in specie. She lies in twelve fathoms of water, on an ocean bed cover- ed by kelp. I am certain that with a few expert divers and good, up tr+•date plant, the greater portion cold be recovered at a cost of 300,- 000 in a period of six months, as there is no sand to extract from the ship. No, 4 Wreck—This vessel is in a similar position to the one stated above. She is in five fathoms of water and is filled with sand. From the investigation of authorized re- cords I have ascertained she was carrying $4,000,000 in specie when lest; her bell and two other ar- ticles, easily accessible, were recov- excd. She would have to be worked in a similar way to No, 1. I esti- mate that in ordinary weather the. expense of recovery would be under $50,000. The time occupied in this operation should not be over six months. "The above four wrecks I have located and surveyed, as I have twelve others. Besides these six- teen wrecks, the contents of which I have ascertained, sixteen further Wrecks remain, all of which I have located, but not yet surveyed." Thus, only a matter of $399,000, which the company desires to com- mence business with, is needed to collect untold treasure from the depths of Father Neptune's realm. .IL. MILT -BOTTLING HLASIVEKu. Has a Capacity of 7,680 Bottles an 'Hour. The filling of milk bottles by or- dinary methods is such a tedious task For large metropolitan milk companies that a machine to do the work has become an absolute ne- cessity. The latest, form of milk - bottling machine is operated by two men, one to operate the machine itself, the other to see that it is properly fed with bottles; it has a capacity of 7,680 bottles an hour. Each operation, which takes about fifteen seconds, fills with milk twelve quart bottles in one carrier and twenty pint bottles in another. With almost human intelligence the machine picks up a carrier of empty bottles, straightens it, if it happens to be out of line, moves it un der and lifts it against a battery of spouts from which the milk is- sues, lowers and carries it to an apparatus which automatically caps each bottle and then discharges the carrier upon a car. This car carries the filled bottles either to a cold -storage room or a platform from which wagons are loaded. The machine is\claimed to be ab- solutely sanitary, even the caps for the bottles being sterilized after they are placed within it. The rate of operation may be regulated to the fraction of a second by a speed - adjuster, operated by a hand - wheel. This is necessary because it takes more time to fill a quart bot- tle than a pint. Half-pint bottles, which have a neck the same size as the pint bottle, are also used, the machine being adapted for cream as well as milk, also for buttermilk. Cream and buttermilk flow much slower than milk—another reason for the speed -adjuster. MUSIC AND CRIME. French Socialist Advocates Instruc- tion in the Arts. Marcel Sembat, a French Social- ist Deputy, is developing the thesis that society ought to make use of music, which, the poet says, has charms to soothe the savage breast, for the prevention of crime through its influence upon human character in process of formation. "1 firmly believe," he declares, "that instruction an. art, and in musio particularly, would turn many young persons, especially those of the laboring class, from the evil way that leads to the wine - shop and too often to prison. "The alternative of virtue or vice is presented at a certain age before eaolt of us. Temptation to crime is chiefly the desire to pos sees the means of pleasing the op- posite sex, The cultivation of music or other arts will produce le- gitimate . opportunities for the healthful asseeiation of young then and young women and will afford the needecl relief from daily toil, while giving to it a zest which is now lacking, and will tend to arrest the rapid growth of that class which is the fruit cf n diseased and un- netnrally restricted t ivilivation --- the Apaches; ' "Ile has the bad habitofborrow- it•g."

She is named the Vulkan and was launched at Kiel in 1907. The ves- sel, which has a length of 230 feet, consists of tvvo separate hulls. These are fitted with engines, which give a speed of twelve knots. At either end the separate hulls are connected by a deck, so that viewed from forward or aft the ship presents the structure of a tunnel. A large space sufficient to allow the largest German submarine yet designed to pass through, is left dear between the two hails, and over this are erected two steel gir- der bridges, with two others con - lights have been installed. A scheme for constructing a trap in the stone flooring of the jewel room, through which the regalia and .precious stones could if neces- sary be lowered into the dungeon beneath the Wakefield tower, was found to be impracticable owing to. the condition of the underground cell itself. This dungeon is beneath the level of the river and is very damp. Nothing has been housed in it since the Middle Ages, when prisoners languished in the tower. LUXURY IN AERIAL TRAVEL. Salon of New Passenger Airship a Marvel of Comfort. The German Aerial Navigation C nnpany is trying to ensure the comfort of the passengers who will travel in its airships.
