LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 30.-This

night at oil o'clock. The direction was
from the northeast to southwest, though
most Of the movement was more Of an

but not doing much damage. At Santa

no indication of one was noticed.
At Acton there were three distinct
shocks, the most severe ever felt in

FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER.
She Was an American Vessel Using Both

She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.
The first steamer to cross the Atlantic
was an American vessel called the Sa-
vannah. She was steamship, and used
both sails and steam, and was built by
Crocker g. Pickett at Corlear's Hook in
New York city. The present belief is
that she was built by party of capital
lists who intended to sell her to some
foreign monarch. She was commanded
by Captain Moses Rogers and was a
ship rugged vessel of nearly 400 tons.
She had a horizontal engine, which was
placed between her decks, and her boil
ers were in the lower hold.
1t is generally admitted that the Sa-
vannah sailed from New York in 1919.

German Tobaoconist,s Joke.

The following fraud upon an insur-
ance company, which we find in The
Deutsche Tabak- -Zeitung, is certainly
just little too good to be true. A cum
ming fellow, who wanted to smoke the
best cigars at the cheapest possible cost,
bought 1000 cigars of the highest quail
ity and corresponding price and imme-
diately insured the whole stock. When
he had smoked the last of them, he de-
manded 750 marks from the insurance
company on the ground that the whole
of his insured stock, 10 boxes of cigars,
had been consumed by dre! The Solo
monio court decided in favor of the
plaintiff. The company then brought
an action of conspiracy against the
smoker, accusing him of having inten-
t1onally put fire to his own cigars and
deliberately destroyed his property.
Hereupon the same wise court CON
demned the insured smoker to three

Tho Loon as a Dodger.

There is no denying that all the looms
ever Matched up to date have been
"artful dodgers" in superlative degree.
The question is often raised whether
they are quick enough to dodge bullet.
! once had a guide who drew distinc-
tion quite too fine, as thought. He
claimed that loon could see the flash OF
a percussion cap at the breech of muz
zle loading piece and could dodge, but
admitted that, with the rife loaded like
all modern ones, at the breech, no loon
could escape shot rightly aimed. For
my part, 1 do not believe the interval OF
time between the fire at the two ends of
the barrel to be measurable by eyes OF
birds OR men or anything short OF a
nhronnpranh
possible to reason with tolerable conf
dence We know tho speed of rifle
bullet. Call it /, 400 feet second. I'M
agine your loon at that distance or
nearer. Then reflect how slowly birds
head must move to use up more than o
second in dropping few inches under
water. Gravity alone would carry it
farther than that 1t is easy to believe
that if the wary bird happens to be look
ing toward the hunter tho rife flash
suggests danger. A half second would
give ample time to dodge, provided the
action began promptly. 1t is safe to say
that it takes looms weight in lead to
kill him, and we may call it settled
that, if loon does not dodge bullet,
at least the lead goes down in the same
hole in the water. Boston Transcript

ARIZoNANs PROTEST.
Tho Removal OF Troops From San Oar
Cond emued.

The Removal OF Troop From San Carlos
Condemned.
Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 23.-The actio
Of the war department in ordering the
removal Of troops from San Carlos res
ervation is not we'll received by the
people OF Arizona. Mass meetings the
past week have been held at Tombstone,
Tucson, and other places, for the pur-
pose OF protesting against the ac-
tion Of the government. At all
of these meetings resolutions
were adopted and telegrsphed
to the secretary of war, protesting
against the removal of the San Carlos
troops, and pointing out the results sure
TO follow the carrying out of the order.
There are about $500 Indians on the
reservation, and Forts Apache and
Grant, the nearest military posts, are
each more than so milea distant from
San Carlos. Indian outbreaks In Arizo-
ma have almost invariably been the re-
suit Of drunken quarrels among them
selves, ond the presence OF troops at San
Carlos is absolutely necessary to per.
form police duty in breaking up Indian
liquor camps, in order to remove the
primary cause OF the outbreaks. These
Indians have no means Of making q liv-
ing, except by cutting hay and wood
with which to supply the troops, and
raising barley and corn for the same
purpose. 1t is obvious that in the ab-
sence of such market they will soon
cease to farm, except to raise sufficient
corn with which TO make liquor, and
will become miserably poor and be
driven desperate by starvation
and cold, Notwithstanding the
few rations issued. All that
has kept the redskins ON tho San Carlos
from going out on the warpath on
several occasions, since the removal OF
the murderous Geronimo and bis follow
ers, and causing another reign OF terror
among the settlers, has been the
presence of the troops, and for this
reason it is that Arizonans view with
apprehension and alarm their proposed
removal.

apparently laid the whole matter before
certain influential people there and they
formulated these plans. being all the

been coming thick and fast, and there is
probably some foundation for the cur

DR.. Zeballos at once declared that in

could not accept any accommodations on
the ship which were not equal to those
assigned to any other person, and he
made a request for better room. 1t

THE STUDY OF LlcHENS.
A Delightful Branch of Science With Which
to Become Acquainted.

to Become Acquainted.
They are difficult branch to study,
for the descriptions are shrouded in
mysterious language that needs an I'M
abridged dictionary to translate it, and
a good microscope is necessary if one
wishes to examine their internal struc-
ture and spores But they are delight
full and easy branch Of science to be-
rome acquainted with by observation.
They are to be found all the year
round on stones and fence rails and on
trees. They are easy to mount and are
so fascinatingly ugly or beautiful that
they make an interesting collection. In
almost any wild bit of country there
are from 90 to 70 kinds to be found, and
even in the most civilized place, at ones
own hearth, there are sure to be seven
or eight species growing on the sticks OF
wood laid for the fire. They are so like
and yet unlike that they sharpen the
powers of comparison and observation
until one feels that the keen bladed
knife and pocket lens, which are con-
stant companions in lichen ramble,
are dull compared with ones own
bright mind.
Lichens--and, by the way, they are
pronounced li-kens, not Itch -ens-grow
in three ways, which can be easily dis
tinguished at glance. There are crus-
taceous lichens that grow close to stono
or bark and have no leafy part, but ara
simply few warts or dots or a stain.
There are foliaceous lichens that lie fiat.
They are green or brown on yellow
leathery plants that are something like
leaves, and that have brown or red OF
pink disks on them, and there are fruit
cose lichens that grow upright like lit
tie shrubby bushes, with bright col
ored knobs.
Go to any birch tree, and there will
be seen within stained circle some Gu
rious little black marks like elfin hero
glyphs. They are the fruit spots of a
common Iohen called, very appropriate
ly, Graphs scripta. Almost any tree
one visits will have some irregular cir
cular stains upon it, especially if the
bark is quite smooth, and in the center
there will be some brown or black or
white specks. 1t is easy to collect such
crustaceous lichens by slicing off thin
strip of the bark, large enough to show
the outline of the stain, and by writing
the name of the tree from which it was
taken on the bark, but it is quite diff
ferent matter when one sits down beside
