The Ocean's Treasures.

It is one of the pleasures of life to I come acroea a piece of money lost by someone elsp. To hunt for lost millions quickens even the most torpid imagina tion. In tho very words ' hidden tr«a- j ■are*there is a world of romance. From I tho earliest ages the recovery of lost wealth haß exercised a constant fac na tion over the minds of mankind, as the popularity ef novels found >A on tho idea testifies Man is pror, and lost treasure is fabulous in its immensity. Untold millions in gold silv.r, an! gems He lost, by the freak« of their ona time owners or of nn furp, in tliß beds of oeenci or 'n unknown land , The recovery of an ii .finiteesuial fraction i would place any man beyond the I wildest dreams of avarice On the floors of the oce«*n lie all *iiat remains of many ft gallant ship ', therp, too, untouched by the salt water, lie count- Itas millions. The value of the treasure congealed by the «biue waters of the Caribbean Sfea must be prodigious. For generations Spanish trmsure ships wer« sank theirs Id bittle with English privatesrs and buccaneers. The re- COtrery of such treasure haa always Rttrnct( jd the adventurous, and many attempts hive been raide, some with considerable success. From ships belonging to the Spanish Atmad* and wreck* d off the Hebrides much gold was collected towards the end of Elizabeth's rei^n. In 1680 William Phippg came from Tirginia to obtain assistance from Ch'tries IE to obtain specie from a Spanish ship sunk off Hispanioh. Cti*rles fitted out a ship, hut the fir«t attempt was unsuccess ful. Ultimately, however, £200,000 in geld arid silver were Halvaged ; with considerable expend, but Isaving a handsome profit. The fortune of a Oroeaus lies buried under the sands and rocks near Gun wallow, by the Lizard. In 1574 & Spanish ship carrying 17 000,000 dollars, aud many bar* of gold, was wrecked there, More than one attempt haa been

made to rob the sea of its treasure,

but that Atlantic strong room is still invio'atp. Some day it may be made to yield its wealth to the great enrich* men!; of some adventurer. In 1798

the British frigate De Brook foundered in a etorra off Lewei in the United States. It had on board no less than £19,400,000 in specie and jewels tuken from a Spanish ship while on her voyago to Halifax. In ISO 2 search wag actively proßecuted by a diving company for the purpose of recovering the money, but the result was not made public. In 1359 £100,000 was brought up from the wreck of Her Majesty's ship Lutine, which sank off Holland in tbe closing year of the last century, As the ship went down with nearly a million and a quarter sterling on board, a huge fortune still remains untouched £ome of the French ships that went down at Trafalgar carried with them enoruaous wealth. One frigate had on board five tons of ailverpkte, th* silver gates of St John's Cathedral, Malta, and a ton and a half of bejewelled gold plate, the plunder of Maltese churches. Despite various attempts, not an ounce has been recovered. Nearly every part of the New World

has its legends of buried treasure or

lost mines of gold and silver ore. The reputed hiding places of pirates' plun der, especially that ot the infamous

Captain Kidd, are many. A year or two ago a company was incorporated with a capital of £17,000 to recover the ill-gotten gains of the sea-robber. The Treasure Oompauy set to work to explore Oak Island, in Mahone Bay,

on the Bouth east coast of ]Soy» Scotia, where vast wealth in gold and gems are reportfd to have been buried -by pirates. A shaft is said to have been sunk ft hundred feet, the treasure placed at the bottom in strong wooden boxes, and Hooded by an underground iusme? to the sea. This ' moueypit' was discovered over a ceniury ago, and various attempts to probe its depths were made, in the course of which an oak planking ten feet down was discovered, and at ninety

feet a flat stone about three feet

long, on which was chiselled certain marks. These were deciphered to read. Ten feet be ow are two million pounds buried. At a depth of 95 feet water began to make its appearance, and

tilled the shaft to jwithin 30 feet from the top. Other shafts were sank, but were flooded when a depth of over 90 feet was reached. The attempts to bail out or pump the water (failing, the operations were suspended. The Treasure Company concluded, as the water was salt, thatitcune through an inlet, natural or artificial, from the sea, Such a cove or tunnel was found sod instead of attempting to hail out the sea through the shafts it was de termined to erect a daw round the inlet. Of the success of these operations history aayetb not, though certainly it is a subjet of romance. Some few years ago a man went through Canada and Australia with a wonderful •tory of millions of gold and jewels buried in Oocos Island, nquesting funds to exploit it. In 1897 Her Majesty's ship Imperiease, then on the North Pacific station with Harford, the discoverer of the Becret on board, anchored at Oocoa. A party ©f blue }*ckets were s^nt ashore, and at the place indicated by Harford began digging for the thirty millions. At the depth of five or six feet he said a large ilone slab would b« discovered. This was found ' } ten or twelve feet lower should be the tunnel leading to thi cavern of gold and jewelp. Heavy rain made digging difficult, and dfc ten f jtt the pit was so filled with water that a large overhanging rock threatened to crush the party. The men were withdrawn just before the rock fell and oomletely filled the pit. Instead of blasting out the rock and completing the operation^ Ad miral Palliser, who would spare no more time for the hunt, ordered a blast in the hill side itself. As nothing was revealed thereby, the search was abandoned, much to the disappointment of Harford and the laiEurs, who were all believers in the story of the hidden treasure.— Standard.
