of the island for fi5 years, will confer

the zoologist who was formerly direc-

upon the species which it is advisable
to stock on the island.
"Anticosti Island is about 2,500,000
acres in extent," Mr. Zede said. "It
is approximately the Fame size as
Long Island. Becauee of its situation
it is practically immune from .forest
fires and the assurance of protected

The "Locarilo,' ` Returning
German Cabby's Visit to
Paris, Has Official
Greeting
Berlin.—France's oldest automobile,
a Peugeot model of 1889, reached Ber-
lin recently to return the good -will
visit to Paris of Berlin's oldest cabby,
Gustave Hartmann.'
Twenty-five. cars of the Berlin
Automobile Club drove beyond Pots-
llam to meet the French -machine, but
the welcoming exercises suffered an
abrupt end when the ancient car
which had been christened "Locarno"
by the Paris and Berlin newspapers
financing the trip, emitted such clouds
of odoriferous smoke that the welcom-
ing party ran for cover.
It developed that the French chauf-
feur who drove the obsolete vehicle
since it left Paris two weeks ago was
summoned to Paris because of his
father's illness, so that the French and
German correspondents who consti-
tuted the Locarno's passengers had
to take the wheel.
"If I stop the engine now it will
take at least fifteen minutes to re-
start," the French newspaper man
said. "We may even never reach
Berlin.
The Locarno reached the Branden-
burg Gate exactly at noon and was
driven through the downtown, streets,
past the Presidential Palace and the
Foreign Office to a: hotel, where a
luncheon was served. '
Greetings were presented to Presi-
dent Loebe of the Reichstag from

Chamber of Deputies, as well as from

St. Nazaire, Franco,—Ten million
dollars in uncut diamonds are be-
ing sought by Italian divers in the
hold of the Belgian liner Elizabeth -
villa, which was torpedoed off this
port in September, 1917.
The entire diamond output of the
Congo for the year, belonging to
the Belgian State, was on board in
one safe. The Belgian Government
has engaged the Italian salvage
boat Artiglio to bring up the dia-
monds. •
The plan of the divers is to pass
around the wreck on the outside,
locate the captain's cabin, in which
was the safe, and dynamite that
side of the ship so the divers can
enter. The idea then is to attach
lines to the safe. The actual hoist-
ing will be done by a powerful mag-
net with which the boat is equipped.
The current at the wreck is of
great force and, if the magnet
should lose its grip, the lines will
guide the divers to the safe.
