NOT THE MAN-FISH.
1t Was Some Other Adventurer Who
Was Arrested in Brazil Waters.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The arrest of an
American named Boynton by a British
man-of-war In q Brazilian harbor, for IL
legally flying a British flag on tug carry
ing q torpedo intended fer use against the
insurgent fleet has created the impression
that the prisoner IS Capt. Paul Boyton. the
famous navigator. This impression is false.
Captain BOyton is in London. managing
the worlds water show at Esrlscourt.
He has been there for many months. and is
seen by thousands daily. It is true that
the hero of hundred rivers was chief of
the torpedo services of the Dictator Pier
ola during the hili-Peruvian war; but as
Admiral Lynch declared the captains of.
forts to bo ultra wires and the navigator
escaped from Pera just In time To escape
execution without trial. he has not looked
with favor upon the torpedo business since.
The captain IS making u fortune. ani is not
in any way connected with the advtnturer
who was arrested on the Brazilian coast.

COrOner's Investigation Begun at Once

Merchant policeman Bacon made ghast-

making his rounds. In the rear of the
Matz saloon, at No. S3 East Market
street. was found the body of
o man about thirty-five years old
and fairly well-dressed. The body was ly-

the patrolman was that he had found q
drunk. Closer inspection revealed the fact
that the prostrate figure was life

the officer went in search of the

this time the body was cold. and officers

pockets was made. There were
found Q number Of etters and
papers. mostly written in Gierman. but
bearing the Indianapolis post mark and
date. On q receipt issued by the Ger

Christian Baier."
On other documents was the name of
Baier. but no address or street number was
given. In one of the dead mans pockets
was q small memoranda book from the
Original Eagle clothing store. on the fly
leaf of which was written the name "Tay.
lor Owens"
The face of the corpse presented ghast-
Iy sight. and he had evidently died
in great agony. An examination of
q stiff hat whioh lay near by
showed . tear in the crown, which
appeared to have been made by blow.
This with small splotoh of blood on the
mans face. suggested the idea of fonl play,
but the undertakers who examined the
body failed to find any external signs OF
violence.
The clothing worn by the dead man was
of light weight and color. He wore a sack
coat. low vest. and white shirt with stand.
ing collar. In appearance he was of dark
complexion. about five feet four inches in
height and rather slender.
Kregelo 81 Whitsett took charge OF the
remains and the coroner was noti-
fed. That official arrived at the
undertaking establis ment about O'Clock
and made q partial examination of the
body. and then went to the residence of
the secretary. who had signed the lodge
receipt. Although the police officers found
no indication of violence further than the
dent in the Derby hat. there is every
reason to believe the man was murdered.
The coroner and others who viewed the
remains thought it was q case of sandbag-
ging. rs bruises were discovered on the
head that might have been made by
that deadly weapon. There were no fumes
of whisky about the body when found by
Mr. Bacon to indicate the man had been
drinking. The affair is shrouded in mys-

Treasure TrOye.

A curious story of treasure troye
comes from Rome: "The Order of
Benedictine Monks, while digging
the foundation of their new monas-
terry, on the Ayentine Hill, which is
to be dedicated to st. Stanislaus,
found what they took to be an earth
en- pot full Of common coins, which
the monks hawked about, selling
them for franc apiece. This fact
would have passed unnoticed but the
brethren quarreled over their booty
and the police interfering captured
over forty Of the pieces out Of the
original 400 coins, which turned out
to be gold medals of great value. Ev-
erybody connected with the find has
been arrested except one workman,
who managed TO escape with sixty
medals OF the date of the second
century, and struck by the senate
and people Of Rome in honor OF the
conquest Of Armenia by Lucius
Verus."

The castle itself was built of heavy,
richly ornamented blocks of marble,
and contained treasures of old Cob
elm tapestry, paintings and, above
all, an almost priceless collec-
tion of rare Venetian glass. The
grounds about this place were laid
out as a pleasure garden, almond,
lemon, orange and pomegranate trees
being planted in great abundance.
lnnumerable marble statues and
splendid mosaics were scattered
throughout the park at frequent in.
tervals. All there is left of this is a
heap Of ruins and an area of black.
ened earth. The Governor himself
barely escaped from being killed and
was seriously wounded.
There were exciting scenes at the
Jail and workhouse. The massive
walls caved in here and there and
the frantic prisoners could be seen
clinging to the window bars in des,
peration clamoring for help The
poor wretches that escaped from be-
ing crushed to death by the falling
walls were unable to get out, rs all
doors had become INSTRUCTED. The
hospital was badly damaged, but the
patients were rescued and taken to
the residence Of the Catholic bishop,
whose house had escaped the general
destru ton.
The number Of ruined houses in
Zante exceeds 5000, and there is not
a house left that is not more or less
damaged. The damage done by the
earthquake in the interior is meal
culable. The shocks seem to have
been greatest in the southeastern
part Of the island, near Cape CHEN.
Five Of the most flourishing villages
in this vicinity were wiped out en-
tirely.
Zante has frequently been the
scene of severe earthquakes, notably
those that occurred in February, 1912
and 1746, and in October OF 1910.
This years earthquakes have never
theless been by far the most destruc-
tive, and it is question whether
Zante will ever recover from the
effects.

AFrightful Catastrophe.

Zante, the largest and most beau
tiful of the Ionian Islands, recently
experienced the most destructive
earthquake that has ever visited the
island. This is saying a great deal
when it is considered that earth
quakes of serious nature are by no
means uncommon in these regions.
The city of Zante sustained irrep-
arabic damage, as it seemed to be
the very center of the upheaval. 1t
may be curious coincidence or not,
but it is very singular that Prof.
Falb in his prediction should have
been so fatally correct. This gen.
tleman, who can now be considered
an indisputable authority on earth
quakes, had cautioned the people to
be prepared for a shock, which he
said would occur during or immedi-
ately following the total eclipse of
the sun, which took place on the 18th.
The earthquake did arrive on the

Nature invariably does two things
when she tries to grow a tree, she
protects the bark from the hottest
sunshine, and roots from severe
changes Of temperature. Both these
points are Invariably overlooked by
man.
Observe maple or elm or birch as
it shoots up from the ground. Its
sides are clothed all the way with
small twigs, unless removed by knife
or browsing.
Any tree starting in an open lot Is
thus protected from the sun. Other.
wise the extreme heat will rupture
cells, and the bark will dry or split.
AS far as possible there must be equal
development of cells on all sides Of
the tree. But care of the roots is
even more important.
The feeding OF a tree is at UNEQUAL
depths, but most OF it is near the
surface. II the sun be allowed 70
strike directly on the soil the finer
rootlets that do the foraging are de.
stroyed, and extreme dr0ughts will
affect the roots for foot in depth.
What is worse, the extreme changes
Of temperature also affect the tree
and suck its life away. In some
cases such conditions are produced a.

ever CATCHES him smiling. He
trudges in and om of committee
rooms all day, aud even on many a
winter night till morning, to pile the
wood that burns next day for the
pleasure Of Senators and their
friends. There is an open fireplace
In every committeeman, as without
this the badly ventilated parts of the
Capitol would be dangerous in their
dampness. John Brown tends all
the fires on the Senate side, and

so quietly that he is hardly thought

Mr.. Bright was surprised, but that
was the last attempt ever made to
GUST John, who is now considered in-
dispensable.
