Last spring. Mrs. Park of Liberty,
Mo-, lost a gold ring in her garden.
The other day her son pulled up a
large sunhower growing there, and
tightly encircling one of the roots
was the ring, through which the root
had grown.

HOW FAR CAN WE SEE?

The question has arisen in aoieptifp
circles, how far an object on the
earth's surface is visible to human
eye. One savant declares that he saw
mountain in Sumatra when distant
one hundred and ten English miles,
and at another time he saw peak in
Java when one hundred and eighty
miles away. Different observers have
recorded the fact that Mount Blanc
can be distinctly seen from points one
hundred and ten miles distant. A
traveller in Greenland beheld noun
tain from which he was separated hy
ane hundfed ana nifty miles, and Mt.
Canigon has been seen from Marseil-
les, France, distance of one hun
dred and fifty eight miles. The whole
range of the Swiss Alps has been seen
by Sir j. Heppidley when two hun
dred miles away, while Sir William
Jones afirms that he once saw the
Iimalayas at the distance of two hun
dred and tourty-four miles. The
range Of visions depends Of course on
the state of the atmosphere and the
altitude Qf the observer. In the
clear, rarifed air of high attitudes,
like some parts of Colorado for ex-
ample, a traveller may be greatly de-
ceived by the apparent nearness of a
mountain or other object which he
thinks but u few hours away. but
which on trial he is not able to reach
by days journey.

1t is now denied that cocaine is so
dangerous as has been reported. A
remarkable thing about this drug is
the decline in price. Two years ago
it was sold at 75c grain or 1925 an
ounce. Now it can be had in New
York at S6.75 an ounce, or what qui-
nine was sold for at retail only few
years ago.

THE MAscoTTE DISASTER.

The Jury Censures tho Captain Of the
Eagle For His Heartlessness.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 9.-The following deaths
occurred Thursday among those injured in
the La MsscOtte disaster, making the total
number thirty: Marshall Wade. colOred,
Walnut Hills. Tenn; Albert Rice. colored.
Cape Girardeau; NJ. L. Scherer, Cincinnati;
Levi Chatham, colored, Paducah, Ky.
The coroner resumed his investigation in
to the cause of the deaths resulting from
the accident, and several OF the La Mas
cOtte's crew testified that Captain ThOmp-
son, master of the boat, was the last one to
leave, and that he did all in his power to
save the boat and her crew and passengers.
They all agreed that the Eagle could have
pushed the La MascOtte ashore without en-
liangering herself.
Captain Thompson testified that after do.
ing all that could be done he jumped over
board and swan ashore. and ran down to
where the Eagle was landed. lie boarded
her and repeatedly called upon her Captain
to lower his life-bOat
II told him." continued Captain ThOmp-
son, THAT if he did not do SO would re-
port him. He replied that he had no crew.
saw at that time eight or ten men on the
lower deck. lie finally lowered the boat.
Some one was in 1t, but it had only one
Oar. 1t came ashore, and was afterward
taken back to the boat. When the Eagle
landed there were passengers from La
MascOtte in the river on the stage, or cling
ing to il, and one or two clinging to line
on the bow of the boat. The Eagle could
have gone close enough and taken some of
the passengers of but Captain Ebaugh re-
fused to do this. His conduct throughout
WAS heartless in the extreme, and he
seemed totally Indifferent to the condition
of the dying and drowning"
After the evidence was all taken the jury
almost Immediately returned u verdict ex-
onerating the officers Of La MascOtte from
all blame and severely criticising Captain
Ebaugh. Of the Eagle, for his treatment of
the survivors and for not attempting to run
the burning boat ashore, and recommend
ing that his license be revoked.

A BIG STRIKE.

Twenty Thousand hicago Packing House
Men ON Strike.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The 5000 hog pack.
ing employees of the twenty-0ne packing
establishments at the stock yards almost
unanimously resolved Thursday night to
resist the proposed return to ten hours for
a days work, and the great strike began,
yesterday morning when a committee from
the 1900 men employed by the Chicago
Packing and Provision Company waited on
the foreman of the works and demanded
that the notice be taken down. The de-
mani was refused and the men at once left,
the building and were soon joined by 500.
men employed in the Siiberhorn works..
Thus reinforced the large force went in q.
body TO ArmOur's works to induce the men,
there to stop work. The crowd, however,
failed to induce the Armour employees and
the AnglO-American wOrkmen to stop, and
departed without attempting any thing
compulsory.
In the afternoon q large body Of addi-
tiOnal wOrkmen went Oh a strike, and a
riot occurred at the works Of John Morrill,
where number Of persons were hurt. The
entire police force of the town of Lake and
to the scene and affairs became more quiet
1t was found that some of the Morrill, en-
pioyes were injured by the attack made up
on them. but none seriously. Three num-.
dred PinkertOn men are guarding the
houses.
The feature of the strike yesterday was.
the beef men coming out at ArmOur's. This
was surprise to the packers, who evident
ly intended to cOnfine the fight to the hog
interests. The firm is left with 1900 head
of cattle in their yard TO feed. ArmOur's
coopers came out also. They had asked
for twenty-five cents advance and it had
not been granted. 1t is estimated that there
are now 10000 men out of work,
about One-quarter of whom are
strikers, the others being obliged
to quit on their account for want of work.
The strikers are the skilled wOrkmen, the
remainder being labOrers. These latter,
though not technically striking, appear to
be in hearty sympathy with the movement.
The men all quit with their knives and
other sharp-edged tools in their possession.
