Six inchse of water-soaked wood poking its nose above the 'surface of the pla- cid waters of Lake Nemi, irresistible' magnet that is now drawing a veritable stream of tour- ists from many lands." The recent announcement that this chunk of what the: native. fishermen might regard as ordinary driftwood, re- presents the first tangible sign or victory in the modern scientific er forts to 'salvage the millenial "re- mains of the pleasure barges of the Roman Emperor Caligula already has had the effect of bringing arch- aeologues and students of Roman history, artists. and ordinary tour- ists flocking by the hundreds to see the "Mirror of Diana," with its ever-diminishing frame. If this vanguard of the enthusi- asts for things antique had hopes | of visualizing these ancient imper- ial - galleys in. anything :like : their '| original splendor--with . their leg- 'endary trappings of bronze and marble statues, scented 'wood carv- ings, of 'tortoise' shell-and ivory bric-a-brac--they have been. treat- ed to a most rude disillusionment. Not Quite Sure' The only thing- yet visible in con- nection with the object of this col- ossal . archaeological effort is this little stump. of' black, gnarly, de- teoriorating wood--not enough ev- en to gladden the eye of the most Elizabethtown township, [| Received Call at our store for a booklet explaining with illustrations How to Hang Wallpaper and solve your decorat- ing problems.

Moreover, there is not enough evi- ence as yet to give assurance that what has come to light is really one of the two floating palaces of Cali- gula, or whether it is merely the remains of a carnivalesque barge 'built and purposely sunk some 30 years ago during a festival to cele- brate the legendary revelries of an- cient Rome. Those immediately connected with the salvaging enterprise--a huge task involving expenditure of several million lire--are naturally firm in the belief that wha ic iow coming to light represents « part cf the real thing, despite the faci that the outlines of the barge now becoming visible indicate that it is lying in the mud almost paralle: with the shore of the lake, where- as for centuries past it has been believed that Caligula's barge was sunk at right angles to the shore. This point, of course can fairly ac- curately be cleared up before lou through examination of the nails and iron spikes used in the cuwn- struction, since they will give un- mistakable clue as to whether they were of modern or ancient manu- facture. Meanwhile, great modern, throbbing electric pumps are con- stantly sucking up thousands upon thousands of gallons of water daily and emptying it out through an an- cient Roman tunnel that pierces the mountain side from near Gen- eoli to Ariccia, and thence into the sea. And this, plus the constantly changing aspects of the lake itself, furnish points of interest whicn will not leave the hardy tourists one whit disappointed, regardless of the expectations from a purely archaeological viewpoint. Pumps Work Rapidly While the pumping machinery it~ self is capable of holding the spec- tators spellbound for hours on end, the chief object which for several months will attract visitors con- sists in watching the veritable metamorphosis of the landscape it- self as the lake gradually dwindles in size. As the surface of the wa- ter has been forced down about 20 feet since the pumps started last October, landslides of surprising proportions are occurring almost daily, causing great fissures to ap- pear along the mountain slopes many yards from the lake shore. Sometimes huge beech trees, gnarl- ed and twisted by centuries of re- sistance to the weather, go tumbl- ing into the water, their roots still tenaciously holding to the crumbl- ing cliffs left behind. When visitors walk out on an in- cline honeycombed with fissures leading to the beflagged stump of what is believed to be the imperial barge the ground is-as springy as an automobile with someone jump- : Gillette Set for Women Here is a chic, dainty Gillette Set for women to keep the underarm smooth and for bobbed hair to keep the neck trim and neat.

MONTREAL PRODUCE Montreal, April 23.--The butter market yes- terday was weaker, a decline of one cent per Jou being announced. Prices to the retail trade were 43c for solid butter and 44c for prints, In the wholesale trade East. ern Townships No. 1 pasteurized, fresh made, dropped to 38c with the range up to 3% ing up and down on the running board. One has the feeling that almost anything may happen be- fore modern science can yet claim a vietory over this bit of nature which has so jealously guarded its secrets of ancient Rome for 2,00v years. No landslides have yet oc- curred near the pumping station, but the possibility of the whole plant being one day engulfed by the irresistible force has already been envisaged, Plans are there- fore being discussed for installing the pumping works on large floats which would thus be more or lese independent of the landslides. Dangerous to Approacn In the present stage of the sal- vaging enterprise visits to Lake Nemi are recommended for only the rm -* .ardy mountain climbers. The only way to approach the shore of the lake--and nothing can be seen without descending to the shore--is on foot, and the Iitrw footpath that winds its way down the cone-shaped slopes is already worn smooth as glass and is there- fore extremely difficult to travel, even with hobnail or rubber-soled shoes. The difficulty of access, how- ever, has not yet daunted the hun- dreds who are determined to be among the first to see the remains of the ships that have been of leg- endary importance throughout the world for the past several centure ies. The little slopey hill village ot Genzano--whence visitors begin their hazardous descent--has per- haps never seen such bursting ac- tivity. The big luxurious limou- sines, huge juggernaut auto-buses of the "rubber-neck" variety and all other means of modern convey- : ance are constantly being maneu- vered over the medieval cobble- stone square which was built not for balloon tires but for clattering horses' hoofs. Very soon, how- ever, tourists will be able to ge. their archaeological knowledge in more sugar-coated form, for hun- dreds of workmen are now engag- ed in building an automobile road leading down to the very shores of the lake. If the ancient imperial treasures turn out to be as valu- able as it is now hoped, a museum will be built along the shore of the lake where the remains of the pleasure galleys will be kept in cus- tody and viewed at so much per head. But the cornerstone of the museum has not yet been laid. While hopes are still high, there is no indication of counting chickens until the eggs are actually hatch- ed.
