Sea-Bottom Fortunes. There are fortunes lying under the sea in the holds of torpedoed ships, and many minds are busy on the problem of recovering this wealth after the war.

"Car- goes to the value of millions of pounds are awaiting recovery. Apart from the bullion and silver in sunken ships, there is a large quantity of other valuable metals. In many cases, where ships cannot be raised, cargoes can be aalved. We recovered £70,000 în Spanish gold coisa some years ago from the Alphonso XII, 150 feet under the sea, off Point Gando, Grand Canary. We also recovered large quantity of" silver. bars at a depth of 156ft. From the steamer Skyro, off Cape Finisterre. These operations show what can be done after the -
