OLD SPANISH FAMILIES.
The Social Life Of the Pioneers Of the
Pacific Coast.

The Social Life of the Pioneers Of the
Pacific Coast.
A multitude Of stories of the social
life of the Spanish period might be told.
Each town on the coast was the center
of the hide and tallow trade for hum
dred miles or more. The low adobe
stores there held piles Of costly and
beautiful goods in the days of which
Farnham and Dana wrote-the days
when the great cattle princes came
from their ranches to hold festival
The young cavaliers rode in on fiery
but well-trained and gaily caparisoned
horses, and all the wonderful feats OF
horsemanship of as fine a race of riders
as the world has ever seen, were per-
formed daily on mesa and sea-beach
and plaza.
But the home life of these great fami-
lies was simplicity itself. In many a
Spanish house there was no fireplace,
window, or chimney. The FIRE for cook
ing was built on a clay floor, partly
rooted, outside of the main building.
The household utensils were few--A
copper or iron kettle, a slab Of rock on
which to pound corn or wheat, soap
stone griddle for the tortillas. Dishes,
tableware. and furniture came slowly,
and were of the most simple descrip-
ton. For years a raw hide stretched
on the floor with blanket spread over
it formed the usual bed in early Cali
fornia-
Everything was kept exquisitely
clean, and though the Spanish families
learned to spend more on their houses
and belongings, they seemed to look
upon such things as only affording op-
| portunities for more generous hospi,
tality.-Century.

Why the Solid Floats Upon the Molten
Metal.

Metal.
This question, which has puzzled a
good many observers. was satisfactorily
explained by DIR. Anderson in recent
paper upon steel read before the Iron
institute, London When a piece of
solid iron is thrown into pot of molten
iron or steel the solid metal at first
sinks, which shows that its volume is
less than the melted metal. But soon
the solid piece becomes heated, which
causes it to expand, its volume is in
creased, and it rises and floats on the
surface of the molten mass The action
Mr.. Wrightson said:
THE experiment was frequently made
by throwing piece of iron into melted
steel They could see it go down, and
might think that it was on account of
the impetus which the iron had attained
in falling that height, but as matter
of fact, if the iron were put upon fork
and lowered, it would go down; but in
the course of few seconds it came up
again, and kept on expanding until the
piece of iron was a considerable dis
tance above the surface of the metal.
Then it decreased iR volume, and OF
course became of the same volume as
the molten metal which it joined. Any
one could see by the distance that the
piece of iron went above the surfacE
that it was Of considerably less density
than the molten metal . Scientific

GREENLANDS ICY SHORES.

Little Miss Olaf Krarer Talks About
the Esquimaux.
The Congregational Church was fairly
packed with ladies and gentlemen last
evening. on the occasion Of the lecture, by
Miss Olaf Krarer, on Greenland, or Life
in the Frozen North,' given under the
auspices of the Sacramento Lecture AS
sociation. The little lady is not very flu
ent In the use of the English language,
but she spoke with precision, distinctness
and accuracy.
She is of fair complexion, with Swed-
ish cast of features, apparently "a or %
years of age, and of very short stature,
being only three and one-half feet in
hight. She claimed to be native Esoui-
mau from the west coast of Greenland,
where, she said, the natives do not aver
age more than four feet in hight The
popular belief that the Esquimaux are
naturally dark-skinned race is not true.
according to Miss Krarer. She said the
native custom is never to wash, from the
day Of birth until the body is laid in its
snowy grave. The Esquimau is born
amid smoke and SCOT, and it is rubbed
into his skin, with grease, as long as he
lives.
She contended that, until she fell into
the hands of the whites, she was as black,
or tan-colored, as any of her race, but
that soap and water finally brought her
out almost blonde. In her plain,
simple way, she told OF the habits OF the
Esquimaux, their mode of living, mar
riage customs, etc., all Of which have been
familiar to the reading public for the last
generation. She accounted for the small
stature of the Esquimaux by the inhos-
pitable climate, lack of food and other or
dinary comforts of life.
The people, she said, do not live to a
great age. A person of 60 years is a
rarity, and most of them die before reach
ing the 10th year. They have but one
physical malady, and that corresponds to
consumption in this country. The Esqui-
maux are very unsympathetic people,
and when babe dies the mother expert
fered the loss of some pet animal.
There was little in the "lecture" that
was especially new to the audience, but
the little lady has blunt, original way OF
telling things and of drawing comparisons
between the customs of the Esquimaux
and whites that was quite entertaining to
her listeners.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-The follow
ing letter from Apia, Samoa, was received
per steamship Alameda by the Associated
Press:
The perpetrator Of the murder of cox
swain Powells, at Pago Pago, has not yet
been discovered. The Iroquois went up
there on January 11th, after having had a
preliminary inquiryas to Brennan's con-
nectiOn with the affair. Nothing of i'm
portance was discovered at this investi-
cation, further than that Brennan's evil
dence did not quite correspond with his
previous statement. On arrival at Pago
Pago number Of witnesses were exam
lned, but no evidence sufficient for the is
Suance of a warrant was adduced, though
suspicious were raised against some half
castles on shore. 1t is now believed that
Powells swan ashore to meet a half-caste
Tongan girl, and had aroused the jealousy
OF another half-caste native.
Natives of Atua and part of Toasle-
boga and Tongan, resident in Samoa,
have paid their respects to Chief Justice
CedercrantZ. Representatives of other
districts will arrive next week. The
chief talking man for Aana (Tamasese's s
dlstrlct). commenting on the late Bran
qeis.Geflnan government, told the CHIEF
Samoans fighting, and Brandels ran away
with the natives money. He trusted that
the new Chief Justice would not pursue
the same policy.
The Chief Justice is already favorite
with those who have met him. The Ger
mans, however, are endeavoring to have
one of their countrymen appointed Pres
| ident of the Municipal Board of Samoa,
and should they succeed the opinion is
expressed that the treaty wouid NOT last
long, as the President Of the Board has
the power to interfere in Samoan affairs
if he thinks it necessary.
| The election for Councillors takes place
shortly.
| The Sea Waif has arrived, and the
wreckers have begun work on the Tren-
ton and other submerged vessels in the

gets the boilers out. Shirley Baker, late
Premier of Tonga, left for San Francisco

he will become an American citizen.
