Ble manioc or cassava is a native of
South America, bat it has been success
fully introduced for cultivation into
Africa and other tropical countries. 1t
is bushy shrub, six to ten feet high,
with large leaves near the ends of the
branches. The articles prepared for
commerce come from the roots or tubers,
which are large and like turnips, but
frequently weighing as high as thirty
pounds. They contain a milky juice
rich in starch, but also rich in hydro
cyanic acid, which makes the juice-iu
its natural state-a very deadly poison.
The acid is driven out by heat and the
remainder Of the Juice is extracted by
boiling. The grated root makes what is
known in the tropics as caSsava or cas-
sava bread, and is used for food The
starch, extracted, is exported as Brazil

from it by heating process which

SANTA FE, n. NJ, Dec. 25-News OF the
death of Pedro Antonio Lopez, aged Ia
years, was received here today. He passed
off very quietly and without any suffering,
being conscious and especially talkative up

was coming and he had his children and
grandchildren gathered around him.
He talked TO them of the service he had
done as a soldier under the Spanish kings,
and he remembered when a certain King
and his wife were beheaded, Louis XVI.
and Marie Antionette.
Lopez was metioned in connection with
the census report in last June on account
of his extreme old age.

Point of Danger in Infectious Diseases.

foibt OF DanSer In INFECTIOUS diseases.
Measles is most infectious in the
earlier stages, and it is often too late to
take precautions when the disease is
fully developed. Scarlet fever is most
dangerous in the convalescent stage,
when the skin is peeling. and terrible
risks are often run by children being
taken out and about without sufficient
precautions being taken to insure the
safety of those with whom they may
chance to come in contact. With whoop-
ing cough there is but little danger in
the open air, unless the children are in
actual contact, but great risk in being
shut up in the same atmosphere. either
in close room or a railway carriage

PLACER'S STRIKE.
Five Hundred Quarrymen Ask for Les,

Hours and the Same Pay.
RocKLIN, April 3i.-Tuesday, April 1st,
the Quarrynen's Union, which comprises,
with but few exceptions, all the men en-
gagged III quarrying granite in the towns of
Lincoln, Penryn, Loomis and Rocklin,
gave notice to the different uuarries that
'illess their demand for nine hours work
d the same wages they had been getting
ten hours work was acceded to, a gem
a strike would be ordered.
This, but with one exception, was re-
ised, and the men quit work About 500
men are thus thrown out of employment.
The whole community is in sympathy
with the strikers, and there is no doubt but
what they will succeed.
Thomas Quinn gave his men nine hours
Tuesday, and to-day Sam Kinta has also
given in. All but one of the quarries at
Lincoln have given the men their de-
mands, AID it is reported in town to night
that several of the largest quarries here are
abont to come into line
At q meeting of the Stonecutters' Union.
held tuesday night, it was decided to up
hold the quarrymen, and, after using up
what rock that has been quarried, to cut
no more rock quarried by scabs. As the
Stonecntters' Union is one of the most
powerful Unions in the country, it is al
most impossible for the bosses to stand off
the quarymen very long.
The strike is being conducted in quiet
and orderly way. Enthusiastic meetings
are being held daily in Lom bard's Hall,
where speeches are made by members
whose oratorical powers would shame a
great many of our State officers who make
themselves heard during session of the
Legislature at the State Capitol.

SAN Francisco, April 3d-Professor
Charles Bach, of the Coast and Geologic
Survey, is in ST. Luke's Hospital, suffering
from stroke of paralysis.
The case of Mrs. Failing. on trial on a
charge of numbering her husband, was
given to the jury this afternoon. The
twelve men returned in five minutes, and
rendered verdict of not guilty, by reason
of insanity at the time of the killing. Mrs.
Failing's daughter, who during the trial
had been constant attendant and watched
the case closely, misunderstood the verdict,
believing that her mother had been pro-
nounced guilty She threw her arms
around her mothers neck eXclaiming !:
'They must not take you away from me-"
Friends attempted to take her away but
she clung close, and when finally separ-
ated she gave shrek and fell to the floor
in a dead faint. When she recovered she
again put her arms around her mothers
neck and had another fainting fit, and in
falling carried her mother to the floor with
her.
The mother, whose nerves were un-
strung, exclaimed, My child, my child is
dead p and tainted also. For time there
was considerable excitement. The two
finally were restored and placed in a car
riage and sent home.
The Coroner's jury in the case of Philip
Martin, who was stabbed in his saloon
early Monday morning, returned verdict
to-day charging Martin Chebukar with the
murder. The latter denies his guilt, but
strong circumstantial evidence was given
by two messenger boys.
The Prison Directors met to-day 81 d
discussed the quarry matter. The only
bid offered was that of Sherin The other
contractors refused to bid because the Di-
rectors refused to receive sealed bids One
contractor handed his sealed bid to re-
porter who opened it and found that he
offered twelve and a half and twenty-five
CENTS, while Sherin's bid is three and a
half and ten cents.
