all his customary vtciousness. A little fd-
ding and he led with his left at the
stomach. A little more sparring and Dixon

Pierce narrowly escaped several vicious left
hand swings. but received one or two on the

Mr. Horr said he believed the scientist was

searches, but he felt confident that Darwin
hit wide of the mark when he drew his nnal
conclusions on the evolution OF man.
Mr.. Horr declared that it was his Deie1

entity of the body, and when that time

NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-THE steam
ship Picqua, from Mediterranean ports,

mighty battle to keep afoat in cy-
clone on Saturday last, when 300 miles

the southerly edge of the cyclone at l |

which would have been tornadoes
ashore. They seemed to be all around
the ship. None of them struck her,
but they sucked up seas that the Pic
qua's captain says were forty feet high.
Two of these giants roared over the
the Picqua's starboard bow, smashing
the forecastlc head, carrying away the
ladder to the bridge and thirteen ven
tilators and smashing the wheelhouse.
While the waterspouts were pirouet-
ing madly, like crazy skirt dancers,
around the ship, the trucks and the ends
of every spar glowed with st. Elmo's
fire and lightning scared the backness.
Two scamen were badly hurt by being
thrown against the iron deck house.

went on her course.
