TREASURE HIDDEN IN LONDON.
AMERICANS KEEN ON THE HUNT.
LIGHT ON THE FAMOUS
"One of the most fascinating formis of modern treasure hunting I think is my own job," anid Pro fessor Leslie Hotson, to a Daily Chronicle representative at the Record Office.
He holds the John Simón Gug-
genheim Memorial Fellowship, and is on leave from the United States to continue his research into the records of Elizabethan- days.
"There has been quite an American invasion after historical treasure-trove," he said, "and the visit to the States of your English professors has stimulated greater interest than ever into this kind
research.
The treasure hunters include at least one woman, Miss Eleanor Boswell, another Fellow, and she

ISLAND CITY. IN THE ATLANTIC.
FRENCH ENGINEER PLANS AN AIR BASE.
DARING PROPOSALS.
A newer Atlantis, a city, an chored on the ocean between the Old and the New Worlds such is the daring proposal of M. Leon Foenquinos, a Marseilles engineer and inventor..
He proposes that the city of his dreams should stand on an island of steel, above the northern part of the submarine plateau which runs north-west from the Azores
There the Atlantic is only about 250 feet deep..
It will be "easy," according to M. Foenquinos, Lo hitch the is- land to the sea-bed at that com- Paratively slight depth.
"My island," says M. Foen- basin with a double bottom and a quinos, "will be a vast, circular wide rim.

Demand of Universities. "An enormous amount of matter has never been touched in the. period from 1600 to 1650. If you take the records of Chancery pro- ceedings alone there is a mass of valuable information available,
but this is not all.
"It will have a diameter of near-
a mile, and its height will be
about 100 feet.
"It will eink about half its height into the sea, the displace- ment being about 22,000,000 tons.
"The island and the city on it will be protected by a series of floating dikes spread around like a gigantic spiders' web.

the work of the research worker over an interesting period. But it is necessary to be something of a lawyer, a detective and, of course, an historian to trace out and interpret the important facts, "A great deal of information at present not traced is to be found in these archives about Caxton and early book publishing, and sidelights on the lives of import- ant persons even as far back Chaucer, and the history of the thentre.

M.
City on Rim of Island, “
Foenquinos proposes to place his new Atlantic City on the broad rim of the island.
There will be bouses of the most modern description, broad streets. and boulevards squares and gar- dens, shops, theatres and cinemas, together with "plages" where up- to-date hotels and restaurants will be found.
Inside the island, and under the city, there will be a circular rail-
way.
"One reason for this American Four great "Eiffel Towers" will activity at the Record Office is the be erected to act as lighthouses and demand at our Universities. Bri-wireless masts. tish workers are quite as keen, but too often they have to work for their living in other ways and cannot devote their whole time to the job."

they are all smart but the smartest is the one that is most becoming to your ankle.

"Inside the city will be the in- land's great port, the entrances to which will be under the four towers,
"The biggest Atlantic liners will be able to enter and find a perfect- ly calm anchorage.
"But, M. Foenquinos goes on,' this harbour will be of greater importance in the case of hydro- planes crossing the Atlantic.
"They will be able to alight on a broad and perfectly smooth sheet of water.
"Atlantic flights will never be really safe and practicable until there is a port of call about half- way across the ocean."
Enormous Cost.
M. Foenquinos has not yet rec. koned the cost of the realisation of his tremendous dream, though he knows it will run into many milliards of franes (or ten of mil. lions of pounds sterling).
"I know, of course," he says, "that most people think such a project is either impossible or un- necessary.
"Flying (they say, for example) will soon be-so perfected that no calling-place en route between Europe and America will be neces
sary.
"I am not so gure. What a lot we have done in the past decade to perfect the motor-car, yet tri- fling defects often leave one stranded half-way on one's four- ney.
"I firmly believe that such an island will eventually prove to be absolutely necessary for air com- munication between the two Con- tinents.
"Without it, Atlantic flights will long be adventures attended by serious risks.
"My Atlantic City would mean practical and safe Transatlantic travel by air. It. is bound to come, though perhaps not in our lifetime
"Then there are the people who say such a project is impossible," concludes M. Foenquinos,
"Well, all I can say in reply to. that is that the word isn't French, at least."
