given the first one, and he has used it for
some time. He has made several inn
provements in the manner of carrying the
| machine which have greatly improved its
adaptability to hard service.
| The respirator is properly two distinct
| instruments-one an appliance for breath
| ing in the pure air and expelling the
breath directly, and the other a kind OF
filter to purify the atmosphere breathed.
This filter is strapped upon the back, and
weighs when ready for use about three
pounds. 1t is com posed OF three cylinders,
from the central one of which there runs
a hose to the mouthpiece. The side cylin-
ders are about eight inches long and two
inches in diameter, and the central one is
slightly larger.
Each of the side cylinders is charged
with about a half pound of burnt bone. A
small loose wad of absorbent cotton is first
inserted, then some of the burnt bone, then
another small layer of COTTON then more
bone and then more cotton. A perforated
bottom is then screwed on the cylinder
over the last layer of cotton. In the GEN.
of glycerine and forty per cent of water is
poured until it lies about two inches deep
in the bottom.
To protect the eyes a pair of goggles
with pneumatic cushions fit close to the
face. These have little movable brushes
on the lnslueS OF the glasses Dy which they
can be cleaned, while handkerchief can
be used to clean the outside. In addition,
as protection against heat, there is pro-
vided soft leathern hood, with goggles
and a mouthpiece fitted to it. A signal
whistle worked with a bulb, to be used
when the respirator is in action, completes
the new outfit.
The respirator is supposed to stand forty
five minutes of continuous breathing in
the foulest air without being recharged. It
costs $50.
There is another respirator being inves-
tigated by the department which, while
more expensive than the ones now in use,
seems to be effective where the other is
lacking. This is one which contains a
tank of compressed air, which is allowed
to escape at the proper pressure, and none
of the noxious gases can ever reach the
lungs.
1t often happens that fires can easily
be extinguished if the men can only
reach them, but because that is impossible,
the whole place must be flooded. Such
fire was the one in Gumps. 1t was in the
basement, and holes had to be cut in the
floor and the place flooded with water 1t
caused thousands of dollars worth of
damage. A man with q respirator could
have dragged the hose from chemical
engine into the basement and extinguished
the blaze with loss of probably $3.50. For
this reason the little machines may be of
inestimable benefit in the future.

ThaIia hall. Both the woman and Payne
CHANGED to come to this City last Tuesday
and took lodgings at the Soto House,
where the woman had lived for several
months.
Payne secured room 25-next to that oc-
cupied by the woman. The first night he
assisted her to open her door when she
was having some difficulty with the lock,
and from that incident, it is said, an
acquaintance started which developed
Into close FRIEND ship.
Wednesday and Thursday he spent with
her and on Friday evening he took her to
supper. He acted like green country boy
and spent money freely for her. He also
gave her some.
On Friday night the woman's supposed
husband, John Risk, put in an appearance
and Payne waited feverishly in his room
until morning, when Night Clerk Chap
man thought he had him about quieted
down. During the night he had attempted
to break into the room occupied by Risk
and the woman. Ats A. NJ. Risk was up to
go to work, and as he left his room Payne
alluded to him with vile epithet. Risk
returned instead of going on his way and
asked Payne if he intended the epithet for
him. Payne's reply was a pistol shot, a
38-caliber bullet from his Smith e. Wesson
revolver being sent through Risks chin
and into his neck. 1t lodged near the
windpipe.
Payne also pointed his weapon at the
woman, but she pleaded with him and es-
capped downstairs. Then Payne locked
himself in his room. Special Officer Gull
foyle tried to break in, but Payne threat
ening to shoot him. the officer desisted.
Payne called out through the door to the
woman, who had returned by that time:.
."Queen1e, have you got my ring?"
Her reply being in the affirmative he
told her to keep it, and asked her if she
would forgive him. Immediately second
report of his pistol was heard, and Special
Guilfoyle broke the door in and saw Payne
lying on the floor dead, with bullet-hole
in his right temple.
According to a memorandum book in
his pockets he had handled over $3.50 since
last April. He told the woman when he
gave her his ring that it was from his
dying mother, and subsequently said his
mother was in Portland, Or. His trunk
is in Red Bluff.
Assistant Police Surgeon Fitzgibbon ex-
tracted the bullet from Risks neck. and
the object of Payne's murderous intention
was taken from the Receiving Hospital to
the home of his brother, Joseph Risk, Sc
Liberty street.
Paynes body was taken to the Morgue.
The young man had been dissipating
freely all the time he was in this City, and
drank heavily all Friday night.

A" LITTLE MARITIME LAW.
DR.. Chalmers Apparently Did His
Duty in Allowing the BeIgic
and the Australia to Land

ana the Australia to Land.
Since the disappearance of DR.. Bowie
the surgeon of the Belgic, great many
rumors have become part of the daily news
of the town, and speculation on what the
law demands is part of it.
AS matter OF fact, very few people
realize that the law as commonly accepted
is in favor OF both the surgeon and also the
quarantine officer If the BeIgic upon her
arrival at this port had clean health bill
from China, it was the duty of the quaran-
tine officer here to permit the passengers.
the freight, etc., to land. If DR.. Bowie
told DR.. Chalmers that the sick on board
the Belgic were troubled with pneumonia,
it may have been a statement arising from
an ignorance of the real disease, in which
event he is not liable, because he has not
willfully misrepresented the health of the
Ship II the statement made by Dr. Bowie
was true, then he is certainly exempt from
the law, as the diseases mentioned by him
were neither contagious nor infectious. If
there was no evidence of contagious or
infectious diseases visible to DIR. Chalmers,
and the bill of health was clean, he did his
duty in allowing the Belgic to land.
In case the cholera did exist on board
the Belgic, and there is nothing to prove
that it did, the penalty would be fine of
not less than 500 nor more than $1,000.
1t would seem that from the conditions

A Cablegram From Yokohama Yester-
day States That the Belgic Has
Not Been Floated

A cable dispatch was received from Yo-
kohama by the officials of the Oriental and
Occidental Steamship Company in this
City stating that the steamer Belgic was
still on the beach stranded fore and aft.
The dispatch which reached the City
Friday giving the information that the
steamer had been foated came through
the Associated Press. Yesterdays news is
official and is without doubt correct The
cablegram further stated that the vessel is
resting easily and the hull uninjured. All
the necessary appliances for floating the
vessel were at hand and the prospects of
success were favorable.
