of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand
but because each 10c package con
tains 16 ozs while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs It is safe to say

Improved Propeller Blades
Covering steel propeller blades with
thin sheet brass or copper to protect
them from corrosion has been suc
cessfully accomplished by an English
shipbuilding firm The sheathing is
closely imbedded to the surface eb

joints at the leading and following
edges of the blades While the ex
periment was made simply to over
come corrosion it has been found by
actual tests that the steamers of the
Clan Line which have had their pro
pellers thus sheathed have shown con
siderably better speeds with less coal
consumption than sister vessels fitted
with cast iron propellers This is
probably due to the decreased friction
of the water under the action of the
revolving blades

After a search of years the wreck
of the Spanish treasure ship reported
to have gone ashore in 1835 near
Miami has at last been discovered
The supposed cargo of silver bars in
the wreck has been libeled in the
United states court and a marshal put
in chargt of digging the ancient ves
sel out ofhe sand
According to the story told by in
habitants bu one person a negro
sailor escaped- vhen the vessel went
ashore He sailev for New York soon
after the event anu later confided the
secret of the treasure ship to a well
known sailor character called Uncle
Ned Pent who was familiar with
Florida waters He was an ignorant
man but skilful as a boat builder and
sailor
Unfortunately he was unable to or
ganize a company to search for the
treasure for he drank to excess and
it was only when intoxicated that he
would talk During his spree he gave
away all the facts about the treasure
ship but no one would believe him
because he was drunk
When he became sober and com
panions sought to verify what he had
stated while in his cups he had noth
ing to say and so they concluded that
the story was a romance and un
worthy of investigation
When not intoxicated on land
Uncle Pent was sailing the raging
seas and of course could not be in
terviewed Afterward he spent con
siderable time scouring the beach for
ten miles in search of the treasure
ship which had been buried in the
sand leaving only a broken mast
above the waste of the Florida coast
Between paroxysms of drinking and
cruising he continued his search and
finally in 185D located a wreck
whicn he was sure answered the des
cription he had received from the
negro survivor On examination he
found several bars or ingots which
he decided after taking a few drinks
were only lead and being short of
cash and anxious to make a cruise he
loaded his boat with the metal using
it as much needed ballast Then he
proceeded to Key West and finding
money plentiful and liquor on every
nis boat to get more
The man who purchased the boat
with its curious ballast was not long
in discovering the character of the
bars The result was a handsome
clean up and the assayer of the
bullion was sought to discover
whence it came This made the new
owner of the boat wary He kept the
secret to himself and returned to
Key West in search of the original
owner for particulars of where the
silver came from But Uncle Ned
Pent had spent his money for rum
and shipped as a sailor to South
America before the man returned
About this time the civil war came
and Uncle Ned was so busy in block
ade running that he had no time to
look for the old wreck with its silver
bars He had heard of the great luck
of the man who had bought his boat
and sold the lead for solid silver
After the war was over he found that
storms had destroyed the wreck or cov
ered it so deeply with sand that not
a vestige could be found
Meanwhile the negro sailor who
had fled to New York so impressed
a citizen of that city with the story of
the treasure ship that he formed a
company to look for it and spent
thousands of dollars in vain search
When he had exhausted his funds he
got a position in the neighborhood
and for years after every storm he
traveled up and down the beach
hoping to find trace of the ancient
ship This searching was taken up
by different parties and continued for
years in fact for half a century until
the beach and even back under the
trees for miles became filled with
picks and abandoned implements of
the men who had vainly sought the
precious cargo
All this naturally tended to excite
others to take up the search Men
came with long steel rods sharpened
to a point with which they prodded
the sand Recently something evi
dently wood was struck at a point
thirty or forty miles above Miami
A squad of men with shovels dug
away the sand and finally came upon
the wreck of a ship and then pro
ceedings followed in the courts The
wreck was libeled and a force of men
then began the exhumation of the
ship
It is said that she was used to carry
treasures from Mexico to Europe and
it was during one of these voyages
that she went ashore in a great storm
The treasure ships used in those days
for carrying bullion were built in the
strongest manner with a row of bunk
ers and lockers constructed along
each side of the vessel of heavy oak
timbers straped and braced with iron
bolted and riveted to the ship itself
that they could not be torn away with
out destroying a part of the vessel
It was in these lockers that the pre
cious metal was hidden an equal
amount distributed on either side to
trim the ship and make her sail on
even keel
During the recent search workmen
used suction rmps in removing the
and It is said that experts with
augers bored along one side of the
Vessel and found the lockers and

treasure intact This they proved by
finding a quantity of silver shavings
mixed with the oak borings These
metallic shavings were sent to an as
sayer and he reported ninety per cent
ot pure silver as the result The ves
sel appears to be about 100 feet long
Enough of her has been uncovered to
show she came ashore bow on At
high water her bow is several feet be
low the surface while her stern drops
off in water twice as deep On being
libeled in the United States court of
Florida the lucky discoverer was ap
pointed wrecking master
It is thought that a cofferdam of
iron fence will have to be built around
the hull to keep out water and sand
while the ship is being pumped out
preparatory to reaching her cargo of
silver bars all of which will require
much labor and time As to the exact
value of the ingots whether a million
or many millions no one knows

THE GREAT MAN DODGED
Action That Spoiled Effect of Group
Photograph
He was really a Great Man that is
his picture has been in the papers
innumerable times and he figures in
cartoons in about two Sunday papers
out of three He was deporting him
self on the big lake steamship with
the demeanor of any other American
citizen and attending strictly to his
own business
The promenaders two hundred or
so of them turned their heads side
wise as they passed his steamer chair
and wondered how one so great could
be so calm and unconcerned They
expected to see him prance and paw
the deck
The kodak specialist noted the gen
eral interest and saw an opportunity
to help relieve the void in his pocket
book lefr by the waiters checks in
the big dining saloon He organized
an information bureau
See here he remarked to the
promenaders as they grouped around
him and his kodak when he took a
snapshot of a passing coal barge
from Duluth how would you like to
be in a photograph with the Great
Man
They were unanimously in favor of
the proposition
Get in a bunch on the deck behind
his chair and Ill take you and send
you copies of the picture when I get
home thanks yes that is right
Twenty five cents each
He gathered in a handful of coin
and then prepared for action The
passengers sauntered two and two
down the promenade and assembled
seemingly by accident in the shelter
ed nook of the deck between cabins
where the Great Man sat The pho
tographer walked down the other
side of the ship and adjusted his
camera
The Great Man was seemingly un
conscious of it all but sat blinking at
the green and white waves that fol
lowed in the steamships wake
The photographers head disappear
ed beneath a black handkerchief
there was a faint click audible
above the waah of the vessel it was
over
The passengers received their
photographs the other day Where the
Great Man should be in the fore

Gladstones Earnestness
John Morley in his life of Gladstone
tells how the -latter received his first
invitation from Queen Victoria to
form a ministry It was in 18G8 He
writes On the afternoon of Dec 1
he received at Hawarden the com
munication from Windsor I was
standing by him says Mr Evelyn
Ashley holding his coat on my arm
while he in his shirt sleeves was
wielding an ax to cut down a tree
Up came a telegraph messenger He
took the telegram opened it and read
it then handed it to me speaking
only two words Very significant
and at once resumed his work The
message merely stated that Gen
Grey would arrive that evening from
Windsor This of course implied that
a mandate was coming from the
queen charging Mr Gladstone with
the formatiorr of his first government
After a few mfnutes the blows ceased
and Mr Gladstone resting on the han
dle of his ax looked up and with deep
earnestness in his voice and witb
great intensity in his face exclaimed
My mission is to pacify Ireland He
then resumed his task and never sail
another word till the tree was down
