The directions are quite Intricate, and so far no one baa yet found the Boy Gave Suarez Fortune. 1 Speaking of the treasures of Atahualpa, buried by Rumlnagul, there was an Indian boy named Catuna, the son of one of tho Inca chiefs, who was with his father at the time the hoard was secreted. This boy was injured In one of the battles and was supposed to be dead.

That night she died. The story went forth and the whole country was searched by treasure hunters, all seeking for the Lake of Two Stones. At last a narrow valley was discovered containing a lake in which there were two tall rocks rising high over the water. The Investigators drained the lake. They dug down under the largest stone and there found a platform of masonary, covering a chamber in which the treasure was found.

The secret was kept from the officials for fear of confiscation. And so no one knows just how much gold was discovered, but it was of such great value that it made all of those who participated in the division rich. Records Spaniards Left. There are records left by the Spaniards describing several localities where they think some of these Inca treasures may be found. One of these is in Chapter of the Derretero of Valverde.

Valverde died in Spain, after haviug returned from the mountains Llanganati in Ecuador. He-was known to have gone many times into the mountains and to have brought out a great quantity of gold whose character showed it to be a part of the treasures of Atahualpa. Upon dying Valverde left directions giving the route to where the gold lay, and the King of Spain sent this description to Ambato, a town now on the railroad between the coast and Quito, and ordered the oflieers there to search for the treasure. I understand that the manuscript of the king's letter is still on record. I abbreviate the description It tells the searcher for the treasure to stand MMTte Borr 'S DEPTHS Doty.

They all took -turns in descending into the chamber and were loth to leave the beautiful view that was unfolded before their eyes. In looking down through the water by means of a water-glass, the vegetation in the sea gardens Is much foreshortened and the greatest height Is, seemingly, about 3 feet. Through the glass of the chamber, however, all of this foreshortening is lost and the beautiful ferns, sea palms and other species of subaqueous growth 5 are seen in the full dignity of their real height. Looking at them from the bottom they wave and sway in the tide to a height of 8 or 10 feet. Black Boys Diving For Coins.

Nearly everyone who has toured in tropical waters has seen the native black boys dive for coins. One of the most interesting of the films Is that which shows these boys while they are beneath the surface fighting each other for the elusive bit of silver. Sometimes three of them were caught at once struggling to get the piece of money at a depth of 25 feet. A remarkable photograph was taken at a speed of 1-300 of a second and caught one of these divers at the instant his head and shoulders appeared beneath the surface when he was diving. Caught At Work On Wreck.

For the time photographs were taken of deep-sea diver working on a wreck. Near Nassau there is a bulk of an old blockade runner that came to grief while seeking safety in that harbor during the Civil War. She lies at a depth of 50 feet and scattered on the bottom near her are some rust-encrusted cannon and many cannon balls. George Williamson volunteered to be a diver and a suit borrowed from the Colonial government. Although he had never been beneath the surface in this sort of garb before, Mr.

Williamson gamely wenf'down and strolled about the wreck, picking up cannon balls and sending them aloft In a wire basket attached to a line. While he was so engaged Mr. Gregory, safe and dry in the chamber, was photographing him. Another very, interesting film was made to show the entire workings of the sponge industry. The fleet of a hundred or more sponge schooners was filmed at the quay Id Nassau.

Then the barge was towed out to the sponge bottoms and the chamber lowered where a full view of the sponges could be 'had. Instead of diving, the spongers use a bucket with a glass bottom, which they look through into the water. When they see a sponge they push down a long pole with two Iron hooks on Its end, twist the hooks into the roots of the sponge and pull it from its bed on the bottom. This process was photographed both below the water and on the decfc of the sponge boat. Then the marketing and trimming of the sponges was filmed on shore.

Many, many feet of film were made of the hundreds of different kinds of fish that abound In the Bahama Some wf caught as they swam about in their natural haunts among the coral reefs, and others, by means of a baited line, were drawn close up to the chamber. Color plates were taken to be used as a guide in coloring the film by hand so that the world may see in their natural tints the fish, the wrecks, the reefs and the marine gardens. These plates will also afford an authentic record of what was seen on the first step toward robbing the sea of its secrets. Snapshotting A Sharjc. As in all tropical waters, the sea around the Bahamas abounds in sharks and a great film was secured of a battle between two of these monsters.

Specimens 18 and 20 feet long are common and no ordinary sized bait would Jast long enough for the purpose of photographing them. After, however, unwinding many miles of British red tape for the law does not permit an animal to be wantonly killed, 'no matter how incapable of work it may be a lame horse was secured and put to death by a special agent from the Police Department at a convenient place on the shore, whence it was towed out to sea and-anchored in the water near the, apparatus. The carcass was slashed with a knife so that the blood might flow out on the out-gojng tide, and in less than an hour afterward there were 20 to 25 of these huge fish milling around the The crew caught half a dozen of these covery of an Inca treasure. Its origin was a miraculous dream of the bishop. In this dream the Virgin Mary appeared before the bishop, and told him that she wanted a cathedral in Cuzco.

She fixed the location of the ancient plaza of the Incas and described the grand building as it now is. The bishop replied that his people were poor, that he had no money and that he could not possibly raise the sum needed. Thereupon the Madonna di- rected him to go to a place near Cuzco and dig. There he vould uncover some of the lost treasures of the Incas. This was duly reported to the people, and as the story goes, they went with the bishop in a great procession to the place designated.

They dug down into the earth and there found large store of gold. It was with this gold that they began the cathedral which, although here far off from the sea, and between the walls of the Andes, is one of the finest churches of the New World. Lord Of The Earthquakes. I have already described the Cathedral-of Cuzco. All told it is perhaps more gorgeous than Was Coricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun.

It is a vast museum of gold carvings and beautiful paintings. One of its treasures it a life-sized figure of the Christ fastened to a wooden cross by great nails- of solid gold. The figure is decorated with jewels and the pedestal or car upon which the cross stands is plated with silver and incrusted with diamonds. The image is greatly revered by the Indians and also by the other people of Cuzco. They carry it around through the streets on Good Monday, at which time they kneel down on the sidewalks and pray before it.

They call it the Lord of the Earthquakes and believe that their city is safe from seismic disturbances as long as the annual procession takes place. This comes from a tradition that the Christ was once left in the church beyond the hour usually set for the procession, when the mountains began to sway, and an earthquake occurred which it was thought 'would swallow the city. Thereupon the Christ was brought out and the earth ceased its quaking. Baby Who Brought Wealth. Another story of lost treasure relates to a Cuzco white man of Spanish descent whom the Lord blessed with numerous children.

It is the custom here that a godfather shall look after and provide for his godchild, and so, as this man was poor, he tried to add to his resources by getting a corps of good godfathers. So as the infants came one after another he named each in honor of one of the distinguished citizens of the town. The citizens, however, did not respond and the man grew poorer and poorer. At last he had bad nine babies, each of whom had been given a rich godfather, but there was no help forthcoming. The father swore that he would leave the rich and choose as the patron of his next child the first man he met on the street after its birth.

In due time the stork came again, and man, rushing out, saw a poor Indian driving a caravan of llamas into the town. He stopped him and told him he wanted him to be godfather to his child. The Indian objected, saying that he wa poor and not fit to be godfather to a white child. The man then told of his vow and finally persuaded the Indian to accept the-position. In due time the baby was baptized and the Indian appeared at the ceremony as its godfather.

He kissed his godson as he left the church and the next day came back into Cuzco with a score of llamas, loaded with wood. He took this wood to the father of his godchild, saying that he had brought what he could and that he must accept the wood as a gift. The man was thanked and the wood was duly stored away in the court of the house. Some time after that the bundles of sticks and roots were opened and inside each was found a great bag of gold in nuggets and dust. In the meantime the Indian had disappeared and could not He found.

The man took the gold and built two large houses on the street called Triumph. If you do not believe this story come to Cuzco and the people will show you the street and point out the houses. Found By Woman 1 00 Years Old Another treasure story is the tale of an Indian woman 100 years old. It, relates to a great hoard of gold that was hidden in the Andes by one of the chiefs who was murdered before he came back to Cuzco. This treasure has long been searched for in vain by both foreigners and Peruvians.

Not long ego this old Indian woman, being about ro die, sent word to a haciendado of Spanish descent for whom she had worked, asking5 him to hasten to her. He reached her hut in the mountains just in time to get her last message. This was that her maternal grandmother, who! had died 80 years before, had given her word that would indicate where this trcas-; ure lay. The word was an Indian one and LliL WW ro TH CZOM BY OF Copyright, X914, by Frank G. Carpenter.

URCOS, Peru. TJAVE you ever beard of Urcos? It is a little mud town on the railroad be tween Cuzco and Lake Titicaca. It is more than two miles above the sea, high up in the Andes and not far. from Lake Urcos, in which are said to be buried treasures of the Incas. worth many millions.

When the Spaniards' under Pizarro had killed the 'Inca King Atahualpa they marched upon The Indians knew their greed for the precious metal, and they took most of their treasures from the capital city and secretly buried them. According to tradition, they threw millions of dollars worth of gold into this lake, and, with other things, the great golden chain that ran around their main plaza. Gold Chain Arrund Plaza. This plaza remained intact until a few years ago It was about 500 feet long and several hundred feet wide, so that the length of the chain was probablyi between one and two thousand feet. The chain was pure gold, wrought into links about a foot long and as large around me vrisL ut a mail.

xut uuits ere tu heavy that a man could not. lift more than one of them at a time, and It is said that hundreds' of Indians were' required to carry the chain. They took it up the valley of Cuzco and threw it into the lake, and there it is supposed to lie to this day, although many have searched for it in vain. The treasure hunters have dived Into the waters and clawed over the mud near the shore. They have also dragged the lake with grappling hooks, but in places, it is exceedingly deep, and thus far the treasure has no been At one time a syndicate was organized to drain the lake.

This syndicate had a capital of $5,000,000 and its plan was to tunnel the mountainside. But the rock was too tough and the enterprise was abandoned. Hunting Lost Treasures. The treasures of the Incas were not confined to Cuzco. I have heard stories of buried hoards all along the Andes from Panama to Lake Titicaca.

They had vast quantities of gold and silver in Quito, and at Cerro' de Pasco I found a party of Americans and British who were prospect ing for one of these hoards. They have already spent thousands of dollars and are sinking more every day. While I was before the vault of the Cuzco Cathedral I was shown a golden box weighing 36 pounds, made of the plates that were torn from the Inca Temple of the 6un, and was told that that cathedral was largely built by Inca gold. I understand that he treasures of gold that were stored on the holy islands of the Sun and the Moon were thrown into Lake Titicaca, and I hear other traditions of the vast amounts of gold and silver the Spaniards failed to get. That which they obtained was greater than the wealth of Croesus.

The amount taken from the temples of Cuzco alone is said to have been worth more than $90,000,000, and a part of this went to Cajamarca to free the Inca Emperor Atahualpa when he was treacherously imprisoned by Pizarro. The Inca emperor had come in friendship. He was carried to Cajamarca in a litter of massive gold covered with a cloth em broidered with the plumes of tropical birds. This cloth was studded with gold and silver plates. Atahualpa's hair was decorated with gold.

He had on a golden crown and around his neck was a collar of emeralds. Inca King's Ransom. At the start Pizarro treated Atahualpa well, but a little later on charged him with treachery and put him in a prison about 14 feet square. The Inca king took a stone and scratched a mark on the wall as high as he could reach, telling Pizarro that he would flll the room to that height with gold if he could only be free. This proposition was accepted and gold in the shape of vases, utensils and plates was brought in from all parts of the empire.

It was melted down by the Indians under the direction of the Spaniards. When the prison room was filled to above the mark made by, Atahualpa he was released. But he was still kept under surveillance, and a little later was accused of plotting against the Spaniards. He was given a mock trial and was condemned to be'burned, his execution being brought about largely by Friar Valverde, who was afterward made Bishop of Cuzco. Great Temple Of The Sun.

During my stay in Cuzco I visited the Temple of the Sun, upon whose foundations now stand the church and convent of the Dominicans. This was known by the Incas as "The Coricancha" or the "place of gold." It was rectangular on three sides, with a great oval at the back, and its walls were two stories high and altogether about 1,200 feet long. These walls were surrounded by a thick cornice or bor-'der of gold about eight Inches wide, and where the wall joined the roof there was a broad golden band. The roof was covered with gold and the inner walls of the temple were literally plated with It, vegetables and vines of all sorts being engraved upon them. Opposite the entrance to the temple "was a mighty plate of solid gold, heavily in-crusted with emeralds and precious stones.

This represented a human face, surrounded with rays. It was the image of the sun, whom the Incas worshiped, and nsed gold in doing so. They considered that metal sacred to the sun and often referred to it as the tears of that heavenly body. On both sides of the image were the embalmed bodies of the Incas of the past, each seated on a chair of solid gold. In addition to the Temple of the Sun the Incas had temples to the stars and moon.

The traditions say that there were chapels to these heavenly bodies in the great temple at Cuzco, and it is whispered that evidences of these have recently been discovered. When I went through the church my guide was not permitted to go with me. The holy father in charge performed this duty himself and the guide thought that it was to prevent me from learning what they had recently discovered. Adorned With Gold And'Silver. All of the ornaments nd utensils devoted to the religion of the Incas were made of gold or silver.

In the great hall of the sun there were golden ewers which held" the water used at the time of the sacrifices, and there were 12 silver jars filled with Indian corn. There was a golden llama, with a golden fleece, and also golden birds and golden flowers, all of lifesize. The Spaniards found a vast amount ot gold in the cemeteries of the Incas. Some of those' monarchs after death had their royal bowels filled with gold. Gold was "buried with them.

There is a record that one Garcia Gulterrez paid one-fifth of the treasures he found in, the graveyards at Trujillo to the Spanish crown. This was only 20. per cent, of whole, and it shows that his discoveries netted him over 677,000 castellanos of that precious metal. They are now finding gold in the excavations being made at Teohuanaco and that in the shape of gold and silver plates tacked to the heads of mummies and skulls. The building the great granite Cathedral in Cuzco, which stands on the plaza near the ancient site of one of the Inca palaces, vwas brought about by the dis VV II EX Capt.

l-V. operating cnamoer in wnicn wotk or observations can be carried on at tlie bottom of the water, and (3) a collapsible, flexible tube of metal, connnecting the floating vessel and the submersible chamber. The main feature of the Invention is the tube. It is made of stel in sections of varying lengths: Each section is com-pored of an upper and 'ower flange and these are connected by a set of steel h'nges so arranged as to open nd shut aUng radical lines to the ixis of the tube, but at all tivnes to fit aga-nst each ether so closely as to be water tight. Some of the sections have on'y on? of hinges a'iri wten.

collapsed the vest nprn each other. In the longer sections thereS' ar several sets of hinges joined to each ether between the upper and lower flanges. When collapsed they stani about three feet high they are eight feat long when extended. The sections can be ntted to each other readily and by this means the length of the tube is regulated. How The Sections Work.

Because of the collaps'ble nature of the sections it is possible to sulunerge the tube. Anyone who has irled to push a large bucket bottom downward Into the water will realize what -i difficult thing It is to do. With the collapsible tube each section just a little more than displaces its own weight in water at the surface when extended. Therefore, it will sink. But deeper down the pressure of the water overcomes this greater displacAtnftit.

Then the tube automatically collapses, section by section, from the bottom upward, and as each section closes its weight remains the same, but its volume of displacement grows less. By this means the continual adding on of sections at the surface forces down the sections below. To the bottom section is fitted the operating chamber. Took Up Deep'Sea Photography. The idea of taking submarine motion pictures came to the sons of the inventor while watching the projection of a scientific film showing fish swimming in a small glass aquarium tank.

These two boys, J. Ernest Williamson and his brother George, had worked with their father In the development of the tube ever since they could remember and while watching this film they got into a discussion over the feasibility of placing a camera In the apparatus and photographing submarine life In Its natural haunts and surroundings. They had both often been down, in the tube in the waters of Norfolk harbor and seen fish, swimming about as they looked through the glass ports. They did not let the idea rest. The very next day they set about arranging experiments and in a few weeks bad secured, excellent snapshots with an ordinary camera of fish swimming along the bottom of Hampton Roads.

The results were recorded in The Suit at the time. Down In The Bahamas. The Williamson boys were anxious to go down to the West Indies, where conditions were most favoiable and there were most varied forms of marine life and variegated coral in water of unexcelled clearness. Norfolk business men financed the expedition, wljich proceeded to the Bahama Islands, with Nassau as the central point. Not only are the Marine Gardens there more beautiful than any others In this part of the world, but there are many wrecks strewn along the treacherous coral efs, which extend for thousands of square miles among these islands: Here in the old days many a Spanish galleon and treasure ship, many a Spanish conquistadore and many a rich merchant ship came to grief, and in the lagoons and inlets famous pirates found their refuge Black Beard, Sir Henry Morgan, the infamous Teach, Cap tain Kidd and many another notorious free booter beached their boats and scraped their hulls and sought the wood and water.

Here in later days thrive the beach combers many of them descendants of these old pirates none the, less savage and avaricious in their greed for ill-gotten salvage. In these clear waters the fish attain the most gorgeous colors and the most beautiful and fantastic forms. Bafge Built For The Work. In the shipyard at Nassau the "Williamson boys had constructed a vessel suitable for the operation of the chamber. In form this vessel was a barge about 40 feet long by 18 wide.

In Its bottom an opening was cut large enough to lower the chamber through and this opening was built around with heavy timbers to a height of three feet above the water line, making it a well. Chain hoists, capable of lifting eight tons each, were suspended above the well. One of them was made fast to the large end of the cone and the other was used to lift and lower the tube, being attached to the upper flange of the topmost section by a steel yoke. A collar of timber and steel was built across the well. This collar could be fitted close around the upper flange of the too section when it was desired to disengage the yoke and add another sec tion of tube.

The Williamson brothers had charge of the entire ouffit its preparation construc tion and operation. They secured Carl L. Greeorv. an exnert DhotoeraDher. to make the first photographic film ever taken beneath the ocean, and to these three young men is due the wonderful success of the undertaking.

Photographing Lnder Water. Keville Glennan, who was with the ex peditions, sives the most interestin ac count of how the under-water photographs were secured. Photographing under water through water is somethinir new. Densitv and light values had to be studied carefully to avoid improper exposure and faulty focus. Besides, the problem (Of finding good locations" was a troublesome one.

Prior to starting work with the camera Mr. Gregory and Keville Glennan cruised around the waters near Nassau, carefully scanning the bottom through platesr of glass Inserted in the bottom 'of their boat. Whenever a spot of unusual beauty was seen it was buoyed. So were the old wrecks that could be discerned restlne against the very reefs that destroyed the nne ships they once were. The prettiest stretches of coral reefs were eimilarlv marked and so were several deep caves in the bottom that were the abodes for thousands of brightly colored fish.

With this preparatory work completed, the barge, loaded with the chamber and 100 feet of tube, was taken in tow bv a powerboat and actual photographic work Degun. The first film was made in the celebrated Marine Gardens at a depth varying from to 25 feet, according to the surface of the bottom. These gardens are in a narrow strait between the eastern end of Hog ana the western end of Athol Island, and through this strait there is afcways a very strong current running, esti mated at about seven knots an hour. It was just the place to give the tube a severe test at the very beginning of the work and the result was minontiir ootio. i.1 CMWO factory.

By mooring the barge to four ancnors across the tide and then slack; ing the cables on one side and taking in those on the other, it was possible to let it swing with the tide. While it was 'ing Mr. Gregory, down in the chamber, turnea tne crank of his camera and photographed a panorama of sea bottom wonderful In the luxuriant growth that makes the Marine Gardens so beautiful and unlike anything that can be found above the surface of the waters. The clearness of the water and the perfect Illumination afforded by the sunlight coming through it and striking tiie white coral bottom was remarkable. In the deep recesses of coral caverns it was not at all unusual to secure perfectly ex-' posed negatives at 1-75 of a second with a lens opening of 6.3.

Colonial Governor The barge was named vthe Jules Verne, in honor of the writer whose imagination saw what the camera has now taken for the whole world to' see, and it was a strange coincidence that the power boat that towed it was named the Nautilus. Superstitious ones in the party at once decided it to be a good omen and Colonial Governor Haddon-Smith of the Bahamas was struck by the two names the day he came out to the barge to go down in the tube andtake a first look at some of the territory over which he presides. He was amazed by the beauty of the spectacle re-realed and would not be contented until Lady Haddon-Smith, who accompanied him, also went down. Captain Haddon-Smith of the English Army and his wife and Colonial Secretary Hart-Bennett also were la the party, and bo was American Consul by one of the Spaniards, and he recovered. His were so severe, however, that his features were distorted and he became a hunchback.

The Spaniard who adopted him, as It were, was a Taptain Suarez. Ho taught him to read and write, and made him a Christian, lie treated the Indian boy so well that he enme to lore him, and his heart was filled with gratitude. Later on Suarez became unfortunate In, his speculations, and his house was about to be sold by his creditors, when Catuna told him that if he would make a secret vault undi-r tho residence and give him some iustruinents for gold smelting could find enough gold to pay off his debts. lie also made his master proiulso not to say where the gold came from. Suarez agreed to this, and Catunn supplied so much treasure that he became a rich man.

He gave a grent deal to the churcli, and when he died In he made Catuna his heir. After that Catuna gave very liberally to the church, and he was known to have so much money that he was questioned as to the source whence he derived his greaO wealth. He answered that lie had made a compact with the evil one, to whom lie had sold his soul for this gold. This statement was credited, and the more easily because at that time the Indian were believed to have regular Intercourse with the devil. After Cntuna's death his premises were searched and the vault was discovered.

It contained a great quantity of gold In ingots and bars, and also iu vessels ol gold evidently came from the Incas. The people, however, persisted In bcllev ing that the story of tho pact with the devil was true, "and," says Father Ve laseo, from whose letters this story comes "the truth would have never been dl covered if it had not boon that Catnna'S confessor, a Franciscan monk, had left a written account of the burial of AtahauN pa's treasure, and his use of it, which had been confided to him." Frank G. Carphntftu TINY DOLLS MADE BY MEXICAN GIRL Sh( Embroiders Dresses For Dolls Less Than An Inch High. Russell Hastings MiUwaxd in the National Geographic Magazine. is the story of Isabel Belaunsaran, Aj maker of the smallest dolls in the world, who is the quaintest figure in Mexico's quaintest town, Cuernavaca.

This little girlis called "Queen of the Needle." The natives of the village will tell you that no cleverer Mexican Indian maiden has ever been known. The diminutive dolls she makes, both in point of construction and design; are the most remarkable in the world. The operation of making consists in forming a tiny framework of wire barely three-fourths of an inch in length and winding the same with many turns of silk thread. After the frame has been properly formed it is ready for dressing. The clothing is cut according to the character of the doll and fitted carefully about the small figure.

The most difficult wojk, that of embroidering, is then begun. With a needle that can scarcely be held in the fingers and the finest of silk threads, various designs are actually embroidered on the clothing, and so cleverly is the work executed thateven through a powerful magnifying glass the details of the design appear to be perfect. AftetNlress-ing the figure it is necessary to add the hair, and what is undoubtedly an example of the tiniest and most marvelous hair dressing known is then performed on each doll. Even to the details of the braids and ribbons, the work is completely carried out. The eyes, nose, mouth, hands and feet are then formed and the doll is ready to be placed on sale in the village shop.

On account of their daintiness, exquisite coloring, design and workmanship, these dolls find at all times a ready sale at the ridiculously low price of 25 cents each. But two hours are required to make each doll, so it can readily be imagined just how rapidly the work must be done, although the finished product shows no signs other than those of artistic skill and extreme patience. By working steadily for 10 hours the sum of $1.25 may be earned. So constantly has this little maiden used her eyes that she Is beginning to lose her eyesight. Miniature roses are embroidered on the dresses and hung about the shoulders of the dancing girl dolls.

Ornaments are arranged in the hair and the tiny limbs are formed In graceful and lifelike attitudes of dancing. The costume of the matador doll is gaily embroideredin colors and its hair dressed in Spanish style, including the conventional cue. The flower girl dolls are provided with "small baskets, woven of fine hair filled with flowers of variegated colors. It Is difficult to believe that human hands could fashioned such wonderful little figures. The first dolls of this kind made by Isabel were procured by several of the royal families.

A German traveler criticized the dolls one day and told the little, Indian maiden that in Germany they had fleas fully dressed and trained to perform the most wonderful feats. "les," answered she, "I remember my father telling how, those trained fleas were first sent to your country from Mexico.
