SALVING THE "EGYPT'S" TREASURE.
The attempt to get the million pounds worth of treasure from the strong room of the sunken liner "Egypt," which is to be commenced in a very short time now; draws attention to the problem of diving to great depths and to the suits which have been inventéd with- in the last few years for this pur- pose, says the Journal of Commerce. Lying in well over 60 fathorpe Ba ahe is, it is, of course, quite out of the question to go down in the con- ventional suit, and those who re- member how difficult it was to get the bullion out of the sunken Oceana" under comparatively fav ourable circumstances will realisa the tank that is before the Gothen- burg Company. Several ill-stoel diving costumes have been invent- ed, beginning with the much- advertised one which was conceived on the Great Lakes, and which did very good work there, and it is understood that the one which the Sweden intend to use is a mixture of this and a new machine which has just boen patented by

Anyhow English young women were new then, and are now still, it seems:

It is not surprising that German young womer should be nam too, a Fräulein Reuter, say that they are. No doubt women have always been new-in German too. Fräulein Reuter says all the things about the modern Ger man young woman that writers over here say about the mode

of them may be true. Wher I read Fraulein Renter's comments what occurred to me about them was that not only did they apply? on the whole, to English women today, but to English women a far back as one could trace. "The young world is dominated by a great passion for independence" wasn't it always?-"and the resty lessness which is agitating the whole world has seized also on the souls of the young girls." Ral ways did.
CHARACTER THAT CHANGES LITTLE. In point of fact, character changes very little from decade to decade. Fräulein Reuter says that German young women are more kindly, helpful to one another tolerant, and more forbearings (when possible) to their parents than of old. This would seema strange, if so: Kindness and good- ness in Great Britain vary rather a cording to temperament than togen eration. You will find kindly and helpful Victorians, and malicious? cold-hearted Georgians, and tice versa, in about equal numbers. And forbearance to parents is à very old. story.
