A portion of tho treasure has been

100 feet in length and wide enough
to allow a man to walk erect down
Its center. At one end is a metal
chamber provided with windows and
doors nnd at tho other a medley of
giant hooks and othor tackle.
Tho apparatus has Just been com

"One end of tho tube," explnlned n
member of tho firm, "Will bo clamped

Oklahoman Went 2,000 Miles to Wed,
"Sight Unseen."
Hobart Okla. Traveling 2,000 miles
to marry a girl whom ho had never
seen, but whom ho had courted
through tho mnlls, is tho experience
of Don M. Southern, a rural mall car
rier out of Mount Park, n small vlllngo
south of Hobart.
Flvo years ago Southern moved to
Mount Park from Dallas. Ho was 21
then, an honest and hard-working boy,
but unpolished and scarcely ablo to
road or write his own namo. His ml
mlrablo qualities attracted tho atten
tion of Grant Mltcholl, tho only at
torney In tho village. Mitchell took
an interest in tho lad from Texas, and
many tedious hours wore spent by
tho barrister In Instilling into the
mind of his protego tho principles of
education.
Southern read In a Chicago matri
monial paper an offer to Insert an nd.
for a wlfo for any man who would
send them two dollars. Southern sent
in a money order for tho amount, and
a week later tho paper found its way
into tho homo of William Dutcher, a
retired contractor in Hnlcttsvllle, N.
Y. Bpsslo, young and pretty nnd the
favorlto daughter, read tho ad. of tho
loncBomo Oklahoma youth. Bessie
took n dare and wrote her first lettor.
This was tho beginning.
Tho parents gave tho consent to tho
marrlago of their daughter providing
tho prospective groom proved all that
they had heard of him. Would South
ern como cast? Certainly.
Southern started cast, arriving at
tho quaint old New York town a few
days lator. Ho mot tho approval of
tho parontnl eyo and tho mull-order
girl wub married to tho mail-order
youth.
Southern roturned to Oklahoma with
his brldo, who, although but 1G and
unused to tho customs of tho world, Is
happy and content to spend tho re
mainder of her years in Oklahoma
with her mail-order husband.
NEW YORK
tho chamber at tho bottom of It, which
will ho Hush upon tho bed of tho sea.
"Divers will walk down a Btairwny
In tho center of tho tubo until they
reach the submerged chamber. Hero
they will don their diving costumes,
and opening a series of wator-tight
doors will step straight out Into the
wntor. Engineers will bo stationed in
tho chamber, and following tho Instruc
tions of the divers, who will communi
cate with them by means of portablo
telephones, they will opornto tho me
chanism of two powerful suction
pumps or dredgers which nro fitted to
tho sfdes of tho tubo.
"Theso dredgers, it is hoped, will
suck away tho sand around tho sides
of tho heavy chnmbor until it gradual
ly sinks by its own weight right down
on to tho deck of tho wrecked ship.
"Then tho dlvors, making their way
from tho chamber to tho deck of tho
ship and thenco to tho hold, will bo
able to transfer tho treasure from tho
ship to tho chamber by easy stages."
"In connection with tho attempted
salvage," an olllclal nt Lloyd's ex
plained, "an arrangement exists whero
by tho salvers, if they do bring up
tho sunken treasure, will recclvo an
adequate roward for their arduous
work.
"Unliko many tales of trcasuro upon
tho sea bed, there is no doubt at all
that tho gold coins and Ingots aro in
tho hold of tho Lutlne. Hcfora tho
ship sailed upon her Ill-fated voyago
n list was compiled of tho bullion sho
contained. Tho work' of salvage, how
over, promises to bo a tremendous
task."

FRUIT-EATING BATS
QUEER CREATURE FOUND IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
Returned Soldier Tells of Shooting
Combination of Bird and Beast
Unlike Anything He Had
Ever Seen.
Los AnBoles, Cal. "I think tho hard
est thing to kill In tho Philippines ia
a Hying fox or frutt-catlng bat. Thoso
frult-cntlug bats como Hying over by
tho thousands from tho Island of Das
salau to tho Island of Mindanao Just
at sunsot, nnd fly back between four
and flvo in tho morning.
"I went out hunting with two ship
mates about two miles outsldo of Zam
boanga ono day, nnd nbout thrco
o'clock in tho nftomoon tho natives
took us to some rice pnddles, whero,
about flvo o'clock, tho doves and rlco
hens woro flying around so thick wo
sat In ono plnco and kept on shooting
till our sholls woro very near all!
gone," says a roturned soldier from
tho Philippines.
"Just as wo wore going to start
back to tho ship a Moro told ono of,
tho Filipinos nbout somo big birds
which roosted nt night In tho trees
closo by. As near as wo could make
out It was some kind (if n wild tur
key, so wo concluded to try to got
one.
"Whllo wo woro sitting there wait
ing pntlently for turkeyB the Moro
enmo running up and pointed Into ono
of tho big trees, nnd what did wo seo
hut n big fruit-eating bat Balling
around the tree. My two partners
woro disgusted over tho funny turkcy3
and wanted to start bnck, but I want
ed to get a bat and seo what it looked
like.
"After wasting a box of shells 1
finally succeeded In breaking ono'a
wing. When he camo down ho started
to screech, or rather I don't know
wbnt kind of a nolao you would call
It, till we couldn't hear. I hit him on
tho hend with tho gun barrel about
four times, and It didn't seem to
fenzo him. Ono of tho Moros said ho
wanted him for 'chow eat,' bo I blew
tho bat's bend off and gnvo it to him.
"Theso bats aro about tho bIzo of iv
half-grown cat In body, and this ono's
wings spread from tip to tip about
thrco foot. They havo n head Just
like a fox, and their bodies aro cov
ered with Hno fur, something llko a
muskrnt'B, but not ns thick. They
havo two hind logs with heavy claws
on them for hnnglng on trees, and
they nlso havo a hook on each Joint of
their wings, bo they can hang olthor
way.
"I examined this bat nnd found out
it had no stomach. I wanted to And
what they lived on, but nil I could
find wub water of tho fruit I think
all thoy oat Is fruit growing wild in
tho mountains. '
"Their wings aro llko flno rubber,
and you can fill them full of holes and
It won't fenzo them. If you hit them
bad in tho body thoy will sail oft and
drop bo far away that you won't bo
ablo to find them.
"Tho only way to got thorn Is to
break a wing, or go whero thoy hang
in tho trees in tho daytime and kill
them with clubs. I never saw them
hanging In tho trees In tho day time,
but soldiers told mo thoy saw (no in In
tho mountains hanging on trees so
thick that tho branches wcro about
to break under their weight.
"Tho fur bearers out thoro don't
amount to much. Tho only thing I
saw that might bo of any ubo was a
mountain cat and thoso flying foxes.
Tho dcor hides havo only got coarso
hair on them, nnd they haven't got a
nice polt llko tho dcor in tho Btates."
