the acid in the molasscs had not affected
the iron and destroyed both its own mar
ketable value and the tanks also. The
venture was never repeated. However,
at the present time the schooner Senator
Sullivan, which is jointly owned by Will
liam III. Green and Alderman John III.
Sullivan, is being fitted at East Boston
with twenty large wooden tanks. built OF
solid timbers, each having an average
capacity OF about 10000 gallons, max
ing full cargo of about 200, 600 gal
Ions. This schooner could carry but
1876, 900 gallons IN hogshcads. 1t is esti-
mated that besides the increased capaci-
ty, the saving TO the shippers on one
cargo will be $1,000 and as the Senator
Sullivan makes four trips to the West In
dies for molaeses each year, the aggre-
gate saving, II successful, is worth an
effort. The tanks will be so arranged
that they can be removed after the mo-
lasses season is over, so that the schoon-
err can be used in some other business.
The cost of the tanks was 80, 000.-

Simon Valley via Apache Pass to Tucson.

be grave at every ten feet. The strong
hold OF this tribe was on the western

Cochisc Canon, a few miles south OF
where the Southern Pacific Railroad
now runs, in such broken, rocky coun-
try that 10, 900 men would be required
to dislodge 500 Indians. This tribe was
never made friendly, and good judges Of
Indian character unite in the view that
their only cure is determination. Fort
Bowie was established in Apache Pass,
which drove them out of that mountain.

Those who were captured and sent to
st. Augustine were all murderers and
treacherous scoundrels OF the worst type,

sUBTERRANEAN FIRES
Vivid Description of Volcanic
Eruption in Hawaii.

Some idea of the terror of volcanoes
may be gathered from an account of an
eruption in one of the Hawaiian islands,
as graphically described in the London
Budget, when the crater was filled from
five hundred to six hundred feet deep
with molten lava, the immense weight of
which broke through subterranean pas.
sage Of twenty-seven miles and reached
the sea, forty miles distant, in two days,
flowing for three weeks and heating the
water twenty miles distant.
Rocks melted like wax in its path
forests cracked and blazed before its
fervent heat; the works of man were to
it but as scroll in the flames.
Imagine NIagara's stream, above the
brink of the falls, with its dashing,
whirling, madly raging waters, hurrying
on to their plunge, instantaneously con-
verified into fire-a gory-hued river OF
fused minerals; volumes OF Kissing steam
arising; smoke curling upward from ten
thousand vents, which give utterance to
many deep-toned mutterings and sullen,
confined clamorings; gases decorating
and shrieking as they burst from their
hot prison house; the heavens lurid with
Hdnes the atmosphere udrh anu oPpIcs-
sive; the horizon murky with vapors and
cleaning with the reflected contest.
Such was the scene as the fiery cata-
ract, leaping precipice of fifty feet,
poured its flood upon the ocean. The
old line of coast, mass of compact, in
durated lava, whitened, cracked and
fell. The waters recoiled ard sent forth
a tempest of spray; they foamed and
dashed around and over the melted rock,
they boiled with white heat, and the
roar of the conflicting agencies grew
fiercer and louder. The reports of the
exploding gases were distinctly heard
twenty five miles distant, and were lik-
encd to whole broadsi1e of heavy
artillery. Streaks of the intensest light
glanced like lightning in all directions
the outskirts of the burning lava rs it
fell, cooled by the shock, were shivered
into millions of fragments and scattered
by the strong wind in sparkling showers
far into the country. Six weeks later at
the base of the hills the water continued
scalding hot and sent forth clouds OF
steam at every wash of the waves.

A late special from the scene of the re-
cent butchery says:

The damage done at the jail is being repair

BILE, the responsible parties will be brought

so overwhelming in approval of the action
of the leaders that IL would be impossible
to convict any one. The chief OF police says
very truly that he cannot arrest the whole

A Book Not Written Nor Printed

The most curious book in the world
is one which is neither written nor

leaf, and as the alternate leaves are of
blue paper il is rs easily read as the best
printing. The labor required and the
patience necessary to cut each letter may
be imagined. The work is so perfect
that it seems as though done by ma
chinery, yet every character was made
by hand. The book is entitled THE

three ''red boats" ready to pick up any
one in case of accident. Below all OF

LOSS OF THE UTOPIA.

Horrible Scenes Attendant Upon the Sink
ing of the Anchor Liner in Gibraltar
Bay.
1t IS row thought that the loss OF life by
the sinking OF the Anchor Line steamer
Utopia, which collided in Gibraltar Bay
with the British ironclad Rodney, was much
larger than at first estimated. 1t is calcu-
lated that of the 200 passengers over five
hundred lost their lives. Several bodies
of those who lost their lives In the
disaster have been washed ashore
on the Spanish coast. Another account of
the disaster attribates IL 10 the fact that
the British war. ship Arson was drifting
before the gale, and that In so doing she
rammed the Utopia abaft the funnel After
ramming the Utopia, the Arson is said to
have reversed her engines, which caused
her to back away from the Utopia. which
vessel was practically impaled on the spur
Of the Anson's ram, and the Utopia almost

Remark ably Tall Men.

The Emperor Maximin was eight feet
in height; so also was giant exhibited
at Rouen in 1875. DIR. Goropius of the
French Academy of Science once made a
professional examination of a girl of but
thirteen years of age who was ten feet
four inches high. The body of Orestes,
according to the Greek historians, meas
ured eleven feet when being prepared for
burial Galbara, the giant exhibited. in
Rome during the reign of Claudius
Caesar, was over ten feet high. Secon-
dilla and Pusio. the giant keepers of the
gardens of Sallust, were exactly of the
same height, each measuring nine feet
six inches. Furman, the Scotch giant of
the time of Eugene Ii. measured but two
lines less than eleven feet six inches.
Chevalier Scovy, in his account Of the
voyage to the peaks of Teneriffe, says
that in opening one of the sepulchral
caverns they found human skull which
measured four feet in circumference, and
which was provided with eighty teeth.
The giant Fcrragus, who was slain by
Orlando, the nephew of Charlemagne,
was eighteen feet high. He always ac-
companied the army on foot, there being
no horse tall and strong enough TO carry
him. Platerus, in his published writ
ings, tells of giant whom he examined
at Luccrne, whose body measured nine
teen feet four inches and three lines. In
Rouen in 1909, while workmen were en-
gagged in digging in bitches near the
Dominican monastery, they fond a
stone tomb containing a skeleton whose
skull held a bushel Of wheat, the shin
bone reaching to the waist of the tallest
man on the ground. Over the tomb
there was stone slab containing the
following words in raised copper letters (:
"In this tomb lies the noble and puissant
lord the Chevalier Ricon de Vallemot
and his bones. st. Louis Republic.

The Deadly Tornado.

When trying to escape from tornado,
never run to the northeast, east or south
erst, writes Lieutenant Finley in the
Forum. Never take refuge in forest or
a grove of trees, or near any object, that
may be overturned by the wind. A
frame building is safer than one built Of
brick or stone. The former is more
elastic and holds together longer; the
latter goes down at the first crash, and
the debris is whirled into heap in the
center of the foundation. In frame
structure the cellar is the safest place,
but in q brick or stone building 1t is the
most perilous. In the former case the
debris is carried away from the founda-
ton, while in the latter instance the Gel
lar is filled with it. The tornado cave
offers absolute security to life and limb,
and no means Of protection can replace
it for that purpose. AS regards protec-
ton to property, no building can be
made sufficiently large, strong, high, or
low to resist the force Of the tornado's
vortex. There is no changing the path
of the tornado by the employment of ex.
plosives, or by any artificial barrier. To
contemplate the dispersion of cloud by
the use of an electrical continuance is
also idle. All buildings should be con
structed rs would be done without the
knowledge of the tornado, and then pro.
tected by legitimate insurance. Pro.
lection must be accomplished by organ
lied capital. the safety of one being as.
sured by the legitimate and successful
CO. operation of many. The writer
strongly advocated this method of pro
lection during his tornado investigations
in the West in 1879, and now several
million dollars worth of property is
thus insured every year.

Bauxite.

DR.. John G.. Branner, the State &C.
ologist of Arkansas, in a recent report to
the Governor of the State, J. p. Eagle,
announces as follows, the discovery of
large deposits of Bauxite:
ut is found that we have in Arkansas,
in Saline and Pulaski Counties, min
eral that is used in the manufacture of
aluminium, metal of great and rapidly
increasing importance, as well as for
other useful purposes. This is the min
eral bauxite, bozite, sometimes called
'honeycomb rock, through the region In
which it occurs in this state.
I'm most cases the exact thickness OF
the deposits has not yet been deter
mined, but in general it varies from a
few feet to over forty feet in thickness
it is thought safe to place its average
thickness at about fifteen feet. Like all
bauxite, it varies considerably in COM
position, and in general way its value
depends upon its having high percent
age of alumina and low percentage of
iron and silica. Bauxite is available Tor
the following purposes: First, the man.
ufacture of aluminium; second, the man
ufacture of the highest grades of refrac-
tory materials and for increasing the
refractoriness of fire clays; third, the
manufacture of the highest grades OF
alum and illuminate of soda used in
dyeing and calico printing. The Arkan
sas bauxite beds are known to cover
a total area of about GAO acres in Saline
and Pulaski Counties.
with the exception of a single bed in
Georgia, the Arkansas deposits of bauxits
are the only ones thus far discovered IN
the United States, and such deposits are
nowhere abundant, so far as is now

Wedding Anniversaries.

The custom of celebrating wedding
anniversaries with peculiar gifts dates
back to the medieval Germans, among
whom, If couple lived to celebrate the
twenty fifth anniversary of their wedding,
the wife was presented by her friends
and neighbors with silver wreath. On
the celebration of the fftieth anniversary
the wife received n wreath Of gold. The
custom has been enlarged upon until
now we have the cotton wedding, which
is the first anniversary; leather wedding,
third anniversary; wooden wedding,

The Opium Poppy.

The opium poppy has been tried at
various times from Connecticut TO Cali
fornia. Within ninety days from sowing
the seed the plant is sufficiently matured
to begin gathering the opium, but as the
process may continue for q couple of
months and as the plants are ruined by
slight frost, it is apparent that it can
only be profitably grown in the South,
where it may have the advantage OF a
long season. 1t is stated that the best
ground for the poppy is light soil with
rocky subsoil. The ground should be
very rich and well drained The time
for sowing the seed would vary greatly
in different sections of our country, but
must not be done until the soil is thor
oughly warm. The cultivation is that of
any garden crop, consisting of hoeing,
thinning and wedding. After the fall of
the Towering leaves the pods, which
contain the opium, begin to enlarge and
are matured in about two or three weeks.
The towering continues on branches, or
on other plants for some weeks unless
cut short by frost
When the capsule is mature missions
are made through which the juice exudes
in small drops. These soon harden and
may be collected within few hours.
The method of operating is for one com
pany Of laborers 10 60 through and make
incisions upon such plants as they Judge
to be in fit condition, and they are fol-
lowed in few hours by Others who col
lect the juice by scraping it off and
placing on tin plate held in the hand.
When a sufficient quantity has been col
lected it Is transferred to leaf, in which
it is enveloped.
The opium poppy is also cultivated in
Europe for its seed, from which is OBJ
tained an oil of considerable value which
is used in the manufacture of soap, as a
substitute for olive oil, etc indie
