SEA HAMPERS SALVAGE WORK.
LATER
The sea this afternoon was still too rough for divers to descend and attempt to salve the “L 24" A high naval authority expressed the opinion that there was not a million to one chance of the safety of the crew of the "L 43" of whom twenty-five are married. The most authoritative explanation of the disaster so far is that the submarine rose close under the bows of the "Resolution" and dived but had not sufficient time to escape rammisk.
AMERICAN SYMPATHY,
The crew of the American warship "Colorado" now at Portsmouth sent a message of sympathy with
the British navy and sufferers in the disaster.

The Messaggere publishes an interview with the sculptor Raphael Bandandi whose recent sur prisingly accurate earthquake forecasts have aston ished scientists. Bendandi devotes the whole of his spare time to the study of seismography and has reached conclusions which seem likely to revolu- tionise all previous theories in regard to forecasting seismic phenomena. Bendandi foretold on Decem- ber 20 earthquake shocks in America on December 21 and in the Aegean on January 2. He predicts slight shocks in America on the night of January 15. and the morning of January 20. Bendandi proposes to reveal his theory as soon as his researches are sufficiently advanced,
