But the remarkable part Of the proceedings
was to be witnessed in the court room at

The first thing that went to pieces was
the cross bill, the counsel for the defense

no foundation. Then the testimony piled

DAMAGE TO THE NAVY.
A SERIES OF NAVAL DISASTERS RE.

An Investigation win be Ordered TO De.

%, Wrecks Caused on Saturday and SUN
day = Three American Vessels Now
Ashore on Guilty Hunk.
WASHINGTON, March 17.--Not since
the Samoan disaster has such damage
been caused to the American navy as
that of Saturday and Sunday. Three
vessels are now ashore along the coast
of Martha Vineyard-the Galena, the
Nina and the Triana. The latter vessel,
the navy department is informed, went
ashore off Guilty Hunk. She is in very
dangerous position and if the weather
continues rough may become total
loss. The Triana left Newport Sunday
morning to render assistance TO the
Nina and the Galena A dispatch from
Lieutenant Commander Bicknell, in
command of the Galena at the time she
went ashore, to the navy department,
states. that the Galena lost her rudder,
post and part of her keel. He expressed
the hope that the Nina would be saved
If the weather was favorable. No men
tion was made of saving the Galena
and at the navy department she is re-
garded as totally lost
Description of the GnIcna.
The Galena at the time of the disas-
ter was being towed to the Portsmouth,
N. H., navy yard for repairs. Her old
engines had been taken out and her new
engines were upon the upper deck and
were to have been placed in position at
the Portsmouth navy yard. The en-.
gines cost $20,000 The Galena was a
third-rate vessel of 1000 tons and cost
the United States in building and re-.
pairs put upon her nearly 81 900 900.
The Nina is a tug of 357 tons and the
Triana tug of 450 tons burden. Tow.
boats have been ordered from Vineyard
Haven, New Bedford and Woods Holl
to the assistance of the three vessels. A
court of inquiry will be ordered within
a few days to determine the responsi.
bility for these series of naval disasters.

How an Earthquake Feels.

To the average resident of the tenn perate
zones an earthquake is a rare and terrible
event, creating more CONSERVATION than
any other visitation of nature. In the
tropics, however, particularly in Central
America, it 10 wonderful how easy the resi-
dents become accustomed to these shocks.
which do not come, however, wholly with
out warning. Says Golden Days; You are
sitting on piazza of hot afternoon chat
ting with your friends, when suddenly the
sky seems to grow hazy, the crows stop
cawing and the buzzards quit fighting in
the street. There is general rush, and
though you may not know what is the
matter you cannot help feeling uneasy
The old natives say, ave are going to
have little shake" and then the house
begins to rock, the tumblers fall off the
table, you feel deadly sick at the stomach,
and the thing is all over. The sky clears,
the crows begin their noisy screams and
the buzzards resume their quarrel over the
street offal.
There is something inexpressibly terrify-
ing, however about the trembling of the

event when crossing Chinese Tartary to
meet the Mongol courier hurrying along
with his message; appearing to stand al

WASHINGTON. March 17.-An officer
Of the United States cavalry is to be
sent to the corresponding arm of the
German service for observation. Min
lister Phelps was informed by the Ger
man government that the United States
could send representative to the Ger.
man cavalry, and the war department
has been made aware of the privilege.
Lieut.. Powhattan H. Clarke, Tenth
cavalry, is the officer selected for this
duty. Re will start for Berlin soon
after the completion of his examination
for promotion, now pending at the war
department This is the first opportu-
nifty given the United States to send an
officer abroad on mission of such prac-
tical advantage. The secretary of war
intends to enlarge the scope of his divis-
ion of military information and it is
likely that the next congress will be
asked to appropriate money to secure
trustworthy technical data from abroad.

The wonderful modern invention, the
telegraph, has not only spread over our
own country and Europe, but has been in
troduced into many wild and uncivilized
countries, Siberia among the number. If
our young readers will take map of Asia
they will find in latitude so north and
longitude 1O6 east, upon the borders of
Siberia and Mongolia, small town
named Kiakta, and they will perhaps be
surprised TO learn that there is continu-
Gus telegraphic communication between
London and this place.
London merchants interested in the Chi.
nese trade telegraph to Kiakta the prices
in the London market and instructions to
their agents in China. There is no tele-

Mrs. Hawkeye is a paper lady, and all
boys and girls who are handy with their
scissors may have Hawkeye households of
their own. In the right hand section Of
the accompanying picture you see Mrs.
Hawkeye speaking TO her little girl.
In the left hand section Of the picture
you see how Mrs Hawkeye is cut out of a
folded paper. The line A, b, G, shows the
whole or folded edge. You can easily trace
the outline which you are to cut When
you have cut it just fold over the top part,
which is the bonnet, making the fold on
the dotted line; then you will at once see
the crown and cape take shape. Now fold
the arms over and you will have Mrs.
Hawkeye complete. The little girl is made
in the same way, only that she is smaller
and her dress is cut little shorter. You
may make the bonnet different color by
using paper which is of different colors on
the two sides.-Little Men and Women.
