Following the directions. he came upon a shaft from which gold had evi- dently been dug, and. not fa-r away, the hiding-place Where the murdered men had secreted the gold which they had won from the mine. More than once storms have been the means “of revealing hidden tren- sure. In the year 1906, two brothers named Stewart, who lived near Johns- ville, New Brnnswirk, were going to their work. :lflCl' :1 night of storm, when they noticed that :1 big tree growing on a MEN-side had been blown out by the roots.

Climbing up, u passage which the sently came upon You may take it, too, that a great deal more of this buried treasure is recovered than is ever reported in the papers. When a man unearths a hid- den hoard he does not go to hunt for the neaTest reporter. His chief idea is to keep the whole thing dark, and get away quietly with the gold. Still, stories of treasure finds do sometimes come to light, and some of these are most interesting because of the strange and romantic clues which have led to such discoveries. Charles McLeod. of Edmonton, in the year 1909, organized a party to prospect‘for gold in Northern British Columbia. Marching through the forest, one of his companions stumb- led upon two headless skeletons lying under a tree. The breast-bone of one SQME R5. HAVE LED TO RICH DIS- COVERIES. Buried Hoards of Gold and Silver and Precious JeWels Still Await the Seeker. Talk to the average man about buried treasure, and see the cynical smile that curls his lips. Yet if you comb to think of it. it stands to reason that the world is Iiull of buried treasures. Take a country like India, where the people, for cen- turies, were at the mercy of invaders and plunderers, and where every family has for ages been in the habit of hiding its savings underground. Or Russia, where, in the past five years, untold wealth must have been buried in like fashion, to save it from the ra- pacity of the Bolshevik. Again, think of North America, where early white settlers had no banks, so hid the treasures which they had wrestled from the soil.

Happening to glance at her a moment or two afterwards, he saw that she was regarding him with no great fav- or. It dawned upon him that he was sitting on her newspaper. “Here, my dear,” said Mr. Birrtil, pulling the newspaper out anti haul- ing it to her; “I‘m sorry." The little girl did not look quite i, That was Joanna; and when she came out of prison a generous gov- ernment only said she was dismissed without a stain on her character, but never offered a penny piece for all :she’d been called to endure!

And everything fell out exactly as he had ordained. But then he had to pay the devil‘s wages. and after three months of tidy torment, with the thought of his ruinâ€" ed life and that girl in prison, he be- gan to wish he was dead.

Where’s his crown?’ ’ A remarkable circumstance was told me by Mr. Pansee, our conductor, who had been constantly engaged in this navigation for nearly twenty years, and which he advised me is a matter of fact both from his own ob- servation and that of the oldest in- habitant. Each year the St. Lawrence river settles or falls a little until the seventh year, when it' is visible that it has sunk between three and four feet, and then for the next seven years i continues to rise "in the same pro- Jortion.‘ The river is at this time at its greatest elevation (July 1, 1785).

I took great pains to gain some in- formation of this uncommon phen- omenon: I find, that the lakes have the same appearance. Careful government records were begun about the year 1820 and since then it has been found thatrthe per- iods between high and low water are sometimes as low as four years and sometimes as high as nine years, al- though they average seven years. Buoy-Laying in .the St. Lawrence. Laying gas buoys along a course of 340 miles, a great part of the way in a current running at a speed of over 10 miles an hour, is the difficult task per- formed each spring by Canadian Gov- ernment steamers in the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Father Point, the latter the point where the “Empress of Ireland” sank in the sum~ mer of 1914 after collision with ‘the collie-r “Storstad. Throughout the win- ter months the entire length of the St. Lawrence is icebound. All ,marine traific is suspended. Prior to the breaking up of the ice in April, all equipment is made ready. The buoys are charged with several months’ sup- ply of gas; the lanterns, including the flashing mechanisms and burners, are adjusted, and mooring cables are cut to lengths and conveniently placed, Each buoy, with lantern, mooring cable, and anchor, Weighs about four tons. is from 5 to 8 ft. in diameter, and from 10 to 30 ft. in length over all, ac- cording to type. The distance from Montreal to Father Point is 340 miles. One hundred and fifty gas buoys are placed to mark this route. ’ An Englishman has invented a tent for outing use which may be folded up and put into. a'go-odisized pocket, the fabric being exceedingly tough and waterproof. The tent pole is- hinged in the middle, and when thus folded may be used for a walking stick. This remarkable tent when set up is four feet highâ€"just big enough for one‘per- son to sit in comfortably, tho-ugh two may occupy it at a pinch. They Are Not Wearing Them So Much During a. visit to our army 'in France, says an English periodical, King George told one of his officers the following amusing story: I was making a. round of the front when I passed a. group of American soldiers.
