There are 234,170 persona in Tex-

ish and practically all of them
came here direct from Mexico,
according to a census report just
issued. This number represents
approximately 7 per cent of the
total white population of the
state. The information contained
in this report was gathered in
1910 and it is claimed by local
authorities that this number has
doubled in the past semi-decade.

The scheme for attaching lift-
ing electro-magnets to the ship's
side is feasible as far as their
attractive power is concerned,
for steel mills for lifting masses
of steel and iron weighing up-
wards of 150 tons, but to place
them in position on the surface'
of the steel hull is not so easy.
For this latter purpose it is
proposed to use a submarine boat
especially constructed to with-
stand the extreme water pressure
to which it will be subjected-
This boat will be likewise opera-
ted by electric current, through
cables secured to boats on Bur-
face, but it will be controlled by
a crew in the submarine. It wilt
be the work of these men t*>
adjust the lifting magnets in
their proper position around tbc
hull.
If the scheme should prove
successful in raising the Titanic,
other ships having iron or steel
hulls which have sank and whose
positions are known will he rais-
ed for the salvage of treasure
they carry if nothing else.
Precious yellow metal and
wondrous gems to the value of
billions of dollars lie scattered
about in concentrated heaps on
