Bells are widely used, generally in
conjunction with lighthouses, and are
commonly operated by clockwork.
Most light-vessels, too, are provided
with fog bells.
Buoys are of five principal varieties
in regard to structure-spar, can, nun,
whistling, and bell buoys. Spar buoys
are commonly of wood-the others of

imposed on them, the pay of the
keepers, which never exceeds 5000 per
annum, is not vast. The extin9uishng
or suspension Of a single light for even
an hour may cause the destruction OF
one or more costly vessels with cargo
and ali on board. owing to their having
been misguided by wrong or an alb
sent light. When we consider that the
commerce for q year on the great trans
atlantic steamship route alone is esti-
mated to be worth $1,000, 100000. we
can readily appreciate how important it
is that the light system which guides
this and other commerce to its goal
should be nothing short OF perfect.

Great and Little Things.

A French scientist has made some
curious discoveries which show the
connection between little and great
things. To ascertain the qualities OF
an applicant cook, he says it is suffi.
cient to give her a plate to clean, a
sauce to make, and watch how she
moves her hand in either act. II
she moves it from left to right, or in
the direction of the watch, you may
trust her; if the other way, she is
certain to be stupid and incapable.
The intelligence Of people may be
gagged, the doctor further says, by
asking them to make circle on paper
with a pencil, and noting in which
direction the hand is moved. The
good students in mathematical class
draw circles from left to right. The
inferiority Of the softer sex, as we'll
as of the male ounces, is shown by
their drawing from right to left.
Asylum patients do the same. In a
word, says the doctor, centrifugal
movements are characteristic Of in
tclligence and higher development:
centripetal are mark Of incomplete
evolution. A person, as his faculties
arc developed, may even come to
draw circles in different way from
what he did in his youth.

EXTREME CRUELTY.

Serious Charges Against Officers Of the
U. o. 3. Adams.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The Morning
Call will publish tomorrow sensational
story that charges OF extreme cruelty
have been preferred before Admiral
Irwin, commandant Of the Mare island
navy yard, against Commander Thomas
Nelson of United States steamship
Adams. Executive Officer Adams and
Master-at-Arms Keating are also in
cluded in the charge. 1t is alleged that,
acting under Commander Nelson's or
ders, they so cruelty tortured an
apprentice boy named August Motzick
that he is dangerously i'll and
liable to die from the effects of his
treatment at their hands. Motzick,
who is small-sized German, II years
old, shipped as an apprentice on the
Adams prior to her cruise to Bering sea
last spring from the Boys and Girls Aid
society, this city, where he had good
reputation.
The Call says that after the ship had
been in Bering sea some time the sailors
were denied fresh water for washing
purposes, contrary to the articles they
signed when shipped. Water was al
lowed the Chinese servants of the
officers, and the officers themselves re-
ceived double allowance. The men
were afraid to use salt water to wash in
for fear of scurvy and the general effect
on their health, so they did not wash
at all, and soon were in filthy condi-
tion and covered with vermin. Finally
Motzick was sent forward by the sailors
as committee to ask the commander
for fresh water. The commander asked
the boy what he wanted water for, and
the, boy said to clean himeelf with.
Thereupon Wilson ordered Executive
Adams to take the boy out and scrub
him. Adams turned the apprentice
over to Master.at-Arms Heating, who,
with squad of men, tied the boy down
and scrubbed his back with canvas,
sand and ealt water until it bled. They
then drenched him with salt water. As
the result of this treatment the boys
back was in terrible condition. In
stead of getting we'll. running sores
formed on his back and his condition
became critical.
The Adams is on the way to San
Francisco from Beripg sea, and is ex-
pected here in few days. The story
was brought down by sailors on the
United States steamship Mohican,
which arrived short time ago.
The Call says that at first the story
was not believed by it, and it was
thought to be merely SAILORS yarn.
A careful investigation, however, con-
firms the story. The fact that charges
have>been preferred against Nelson and
his officers has been kept secret, and it
is not known who preferred them.

Joe Manning Has a Little Row With a
Pugilist.
Mr.. Joe Manning called at the central
police station last evening about 6
O'Clock and asked if warrant had been
issued for his arrest, and when informed
to the contrary, stated that he had
taken a shot" at Rivers, the prize
fighter.
Previous to taking the shot Manning
and Rivers were in the New Vienna
Buffet, and Manning asked Rivers for
$6 that he had loaned to him. Rivers
replied with an epithet, states Manning,
"you have got more money than l have
now."
Manning replied, Eyes, but not for
tramps."
Rivers replied with another epithet
saying, II can whip you," and struck
Manning powerful blow on the left
side of the face.
Manning then took out his revolver
and ''took ehot" at the prize. fighter,
but the bullet went wide of it's mark
lodging in the wall. The combatants
were about 10 feet apart.

Suicide Case.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 2.-The identity
of the young woman giving the name of
Lottie Anderson Barnard, who COM
mitted suicide at the Hotel del Coro-
nado Monday night, is still unsolved.
Inquiry has been received from Mics
May Wyllie. Detroit, for full descrip-

CALCUTTA, Dec. 2.-The newspapers oi
India are watching with anxious inter
est the proceedings of the monetary
conference. The Allahabad Pioneer
says the chief import of Rothschild's q
scheme is its parentage. 1t is believed
Rothschild was appointed a delegate
mainly to strengthen the opinion of the
bankers and merchants of London. He
now appears to be the mouthpiece OF
the government, for without the author,
ity Of the government he would never
have made q proposal involving the al
teration of the legal tender Of silver.
Further meaning is attached to his pro-
posals by the fact that the British min
istry, which has such anti-silver
tendencies. recognized the necessity
of immediate steps towards the support
of silver, and for securing the co-opera-
ton of other nations to that end. 1t is
odd, also, that the submitting of the
proposals should have devolved upon a

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-The earth
quake caused by volcanic forces, which
was reported as having destroyed the
town of La Union on the Gulf of Fonseca,
San Salvador, October 18th, wac fully
confirmed yesterday by advices received
by the steamer City of Panama, which
stopped at La Union two days after the
shake up. Wonderful to relate, there
was no loss OF life, although over half
the houses in the place were
shaken down in the night. The
cathedral, with its tower, was
knocked into a pile OF stones, and a
dozen people had hairbreadth escapes.
Only 10 people were in any way in
jured and they suffered broken arms
and legs and bruises. The ground at
La Union was still shaking when the
City of Panama was there. and the in
babitants were in a state Of terror. The
whole town was living in tents on the
beach. Many of the natives were too
frightened and too superstitious to re-
turn to their homes, even had the
houses been standing.
On October 18th signs of activity were
noticed about the crater of Conchequa
valcano, near La Union. At 10 o'clock
that night came a violent earthquake,
and the 5000 inhabitants of La Union
fed to the beach. Shock after shock
struck the city and the older buildings
were tumbled in ruins. Fifty or 60
buildings . besides the cathedral were
completely wrecked. One-third of the
island Of Conchiquita. in the Gulf Of
Fonseca,, seven miles from La Union,
split off by the shock, suddenly sank
out of sight. The crater of Conchequa
did not break forth, but still shows
signs of a coming eruption.

Serious Collisions Between the Police
and the Mob.
MADRID, Dec. PA crowd of idle
workingmen, socialists and anarchists
gathered again at 2 O'Clock yesterday,
II 900 or $4,000 strong, after being once
dispersed by the police and military.
Black flags were numerous and many of
the men were armed with clubs. The
crowd surged up to the steps of the
home office, shouting: "Down with the
government" Down with the city
thieves !" ''Crush the upper ten thous-
and ~ "Give US our rights ~
The building was closed and call
sent out for more military and police
protection. Before the troops arrived
the mob started down the Gale del
Arenal, shouting, singing and waving
black and red flags. Stones, clubs and
pieces of metal from workshops were
thrown through the windows on both
sides of the street. Respectable citizens
were thrown down and trampled or COM
PEELED to join the mob, and several shops
were plundered.
When half way to the plaza before
the palace. the rear end of the mob was
intercepted and dispersed by the police,
who broke from side street, with drawn
sabers. The struggle lasted 10 minutes,
as the men fought back stubbornly
with whatever weapons they could find.
Several poll emen were knocked sense
less with stones, and two market women
who joined the mob were cut down
with sabers.
Meanwhile the foremost part OF the
mob had reached the open space before
the palace. They shouted for justice to
the poor, the dismissal of the ministry
and the punishment of the municipal
officials who were stealing the peoples
money. A body OF mounted policemen
charged upon them down the Gale del
Arena and, after another struggle, dis.
persed them. Several persons were
injured in the fight. The leaders of the
rioters we're captured.
After the fight the rioters gathered in
groups on the etreet corners, and 1000
or more shouted or Gang at the Puerta
del Sol. During this demonstration
Sefior Sagasta, ex-premier, rode by and
was greeted with cheers from all pides.
Last night the guards at the govern
ment building and the palace were
doubled. The uneasiness felt by the
wealthy classes is little less than panic.

Rothschild, as the anti. silver legislation
OF the past 20 years found it's warmest
support among Jewish inanciers. espe-
cially the Rothschilds, who as the hold
ers of the chief government stocks,
gained enormously through the appreci-
alton OF gold. Probably the Barring
crisis opened the eyes even of the Roths-
childs to the fact that the present strain,
involved with the scarcity OF gold, may
be carried too far and bring on disasters
that would obliterate the advantages
secured by the moneyed interests.
The Bombay Times says: India holds
thai the Rothschild scheme would pave
the way to the ultimate adoption of in
