eral merchandise to Sutton & Beebe.
More than ordinary interest was felt in the
Wakefield and some anxiety. which will be
set at rest by the news If her safe arrival.
While the Wakefield was loading at
New York early last March there was dis
covered in her cargo two internal ma
chimes. but it could not be learned who the
miScreants were that placed them there
nor their motive in attempting the de-
struction of the ship. The discovery Gre
ated no small panic among officers and
crew, and Captain Morton. who was in
command. refused to go on this voyage.
Other masters also refused until Captain
Hyler undertook it. with the result of
smooth, uneypntfnl passage.

REDoNDo BEACH. Aug. 12.-An alarm
of fire was sounded at $3.50 o'clock last

through a window and took the sash with
her. Soon gu ct was restored. and the ex-

broken out in the free reading-room at the

whether it was incendiary or proceeded
from an upset lamp. The damage was

 Be Well Described.
 Everything is big at the worlds fair. You see and hear there the biggest men, the biggest buildings and the biggest lies in the world. Even the flowers are big. Over in the green house there is one that opened the other day There is nothing as big as it in America. It is A inches long and is the first of it's kind ever bred in this part of America. It comes from south ern Africa and it is known as the Aros- tolochia Gigas Sturtevanti, which in plain English means Sturtevant's big birthwort.
 The uncanny looking blossom is hard to describe. It looks like a great many not very pretty things. Sir Samuel Vernon Steele, standing be- hind it, said:
 'It looks like a lobsterr'
 MT. Hughes, standing in front of it, said:
 .'It looks like parrot"
 It did look like both parrot and lob .ster. It also looked like musician's bag, a green gooseliner and a roquefort cheese. But it is a mighty rare and extraordinary-appe blossom, mot tied green in color and hanging by slender rope from net of leaves which its growth has spread under the glass roof of the greenhouse. It comes from southern Africa and was brought back here by the Stanley expedition. In Africa the flower sometimes grows to a length of seventy-two inches. The Arostolochia Gigas is akin to the plant known as the "Dutchman's Pipe"
