STEAMER AFIRE AT SEA.
Tho Empress Of Japan Has . Narrow
Escape From Destruction.

Tho Empress Of Japan Has Narrow
Escape From Destruction.
Victoria, B. c., Aug. 25.-[Special.l-
The Empress of Japan. which arrived here
today. left Yokohama on August 5. On
the 10th the electric lights went out It
was the first intimatiOn the passengers
had Of anything wrong on board. The
incident did not occasion much alarm, as
most of the passengers were asleep, but
the wakeful ones began to feel uneasy, and
proceeded to inquire as to the cause
of the mishap. They soon discovered
smoke issuing from the after matches, which
were opened, and some Of the cargo was
being removed. After working for a few
hours the heat became intense and the
smoke so dense that the men had to desist.
The captain then ordered the hatchways
battened down and the ventilators tied, so
as to exclude air from the dangerous mass.
This having been done and while yet I'M
certain of the extent of danger, he put the
ship about, steering for Hakodate. This
port was made at full speed with the hope
of finding the British squadron in it's
waters, and the distance, between 600 and
700 miles, was covered by Friday evening.
During this perilous trip every precau-
ton was taken for the safety of passengers
ON board should the worst come to pass,
destruction by fire. All the life
boats were unstrung from the
davits and amply provisioned, an
officer being detailed for each,
while life buoys were placed in readiness
for immediate use. The bulkheads were
plugged up, and holes bored through the
iron casing leading into the hold. into one
of which a nozzle was inserted and constant
stream of water kept playing, while from
another Jet of steam was kept going.
The electric plant. one of the wires of
which occasioned all the trouble, was re-
moved, and everything that could possibly
be done was done during these two days
Of danger to avert what appeared to be the
destruction of the ship by fire.
The discipline, however, was 80 perfect
that there was not the slightest indication
of panic on board, despite the fact that the
steerage was we'll packed with Cinnamon.
So we'll and so systematically were all the
orders carried out that very many on board
did not know of the existence of the fire
until Hakodate was reached. The danger
was then fully realized. It was
found that some fifty tons of
cargo had been destroyed by fire,
and that the danger was at every moment
becoming more alarming. The damage
was chiefly confined to sugar bags and tea
chests, but portions of the vessels were
more or less seriously injured. Everything
was set right at Hakodate. The steamer
cleared out of port and resumed a voyage
that was uneventual but for the tire.

The Comforting Fan Motor.

Among the various contrivances of later years tending to render life worth living during the heated term the ubiquitous little electric fan mo
 tor certainly holds no inconsiderable place. A few dollars expended for the plant and one cent per hour more or less for the electric power to operate it is surely not an extrava- gant outlay for the amount of solid comfort one receives as quid pro quo as he tolls at his desk during the breathless midsummer days. The latest improvement in this line is a motor which has an additional slow horizontal rotation upon its standard, whereby the breeze of the fan is i'm

Saratoga. Porty-two Springs


 There are forty-two specimens of springs at Saratoga, and the man or woman who would come and depart without testing one to a dozen would be a greater curiosity than success ful bird with only one wing. Natur- ally, with all these springs, it is sup posed there is something to meet every case, and as the effects of any one of them would be injurious to persons with certain complaints nc indiscriminate patronage of spring water is safe. Cases have been known, however, where a man sam pied as many as dozen different springs in twenty-four hours and lived to tell the tale, but he never re peated the experiment. - Saratogs Letter.

We all hate affectation; we all hate it, say, not excepting those them selves affected. But does he or she exist who, in youth at least, was not open to the chargei If any do it must be dull creature, as honest as you please, but barren of fancy as an automaton. Human instinct rec ognizes this. In antithesis to the af- fected it sets the plain man, the simple maiden, the woman of busi- ness, none of whom is ever fired by imagination or ruined by enthusiasm the passive and active forms of the same quality.
