LOST IN The DENSE FOG,
The Experience Which Caused
Mrs. Maria Majors to Dis
appear.
EXPOSURE CAUSED SICKNESS.
She Says She Will Fight to the Bitter
End Her Case Against Henry
CoWell.

!. ''No, I am not dead and I have not been
abducted, but for many weeks l have been
near death from la grippe and pneumonia,
and were it not for the kindness of strang-
ers I should have persisted from hunger
and neglect"
" So said Mrs. Maria Antonio Majors at
the Grand Hotel. Mrs. Majors does not
reside permanently at the Grand. Neither
is she known by the name of Majors, for
she does not seek notoriety, but all the
same she is very much alive, as the ac-

will show.

Giovanni Girandi, dishwasher in La

the roof of his employers house during a
heavy storm on the night of February %,
1891, to secure some signs there affixed.
While on the roof he ran into some cleo

Yesterday the Supreme Court affirmed
the judgment of the lower court. The
court held that the defendants had not
taken due care and that there was no con-
tributory negligence shown. On the point
OF the responsibility of persons using dan

court says:
1t is the duty OF those making profit from
the use OF so dangerous an element as cleo

BUDD's OUTING.

He Will Fish for Trout in the Lakes of
Yosemite.
Travel to the Yosemite opened last Mon
day. few days earlier than last year, and
a good season is expected. Miss Gould
and party will tarry two weeks in this pic
turesque resort en- route to San Francisco.
Governor Budd has decided upon Yosemite
for his summer outing, which will COM
mence on June 1. He says that he intends
to remain in the valley for the entire
month and to enjoy trout-fshing to his
utmost capacity. For this sport there are
now unusual advantages in the Yosemite,
hitherto closed to sportsmen. Five years
ago the Fish Commissioners stocked sew

high cultivation of forestry and the care
with which they are bred and protect
ed from poachers. Considering the excel
lence of venison as food and the small cost
| OF rearing herds of deer under proper pro-
lection, it is in America especially that
steps to form practical deer parks might be
easy and of profit.
In the neighborhood of great cities the
supply of water has to be regulated by the
preservation of large districts of more
or less mountainous, more or less woody
country. In New York, for example, the
Adirondacks and the watershed of the Gro
| ton River are, or are to be, reserved for
reasons affecting. the water supply of New
York City and of large part of the State
directly or indirectly affecting it. 1t is
in such districts that the scientific breed
ing of deer might be carried on with small
cost, relatively speaking. The annual
killing and sale of animals of the proper
sort would furnish an income far beyond
the aggregate of salaries for oyerseers, for
esters and guards.
OF late the problem of Improvement on
the Indigenous red deer of Europe has &C.
cupied various gentlemen in North Ger
many, among whom of special note is Herr
Winter, in Berlin. He has heen expert
menting for the last decade on the Ameri-
can wapitl (Cervus major Amerlcanus) as
cross on the small native red deer Ger
vus elephas), in order to obtain larger,
heavier, more meaty animal, and thus
increase the value of Prussia's deer herds.
Mr.. Winter has been successful in every
way. BY removing the does of wapiti and
supplying the red does with young wapiti
stays only he obtained the desired cross.
Between 1887 and 1890 he gained forty
half-breed from such unions, and he now
has eighty-six. They are regularly of very
much greater size than the red deer.
He has also proved that wapiti and red
deer are related through their ancestry,
because the half-breeds are not sterile,
deer or to wapiti again. Wapiti were first
brought to Europe in 1925, but did not do
well in England or on the Continent.
But some of them left half-breed de-
scendants in Silesia, and in 1870 the late

yention at San Jose.
Church people are looking forward to
several big gatherings this month. Per-
haps the most important is the annual Cal
ifornia State Sunday-school Convention,
which is to commence in San Jose on the
10Th inst. and continue in session until the
18th. President Harry Morton, Secretary
G. w. Campbell and DR.. R. s. .Cantine of

fare going and one-third return fare is the
arrangement made for the transportation
of delegates.
The fifth annual convention of the Ep-
worth League of this district will be held
at Los Gatos Thursday and Friday, April
25 and &C. Secretary James l. Case has
been looking after transportation matters,
with the result that the usual reduction

LIGHT TO EQUAL SUNLIGHT.

The speaker was Nikola Tesla, the great
est electrical theorist He was standing
on South Fifth avenue near BECKER street,
watching the ruins which fire had made of
his grand workshop. He could see in the
debris many of the results of his researches
into the mysteries of the unseen power
and here and there were invaluable pieces
OF mechanism upon which he had worked
Tor lifetime. Yet he was not disconcert-
ed, ana when he made the above state
ment has mind was as clear as the tone of
the old Liberty bell. 1t was not the fancy
OF an idler or ali insane magician, but the
ambition OF an inventor who has aimed
his shaft OF knowledge at the heart of
electricity.
'Do you really expect to attain such a
triumph? ?" was asked.
ooh, yes, replied electricity's prophet,

million volts can be created, but wires
which we now use would be turned to

at tie disposal of man, then inventors will

Military Statutes in Europe.

The military salute required in most all
civilized countries is nearly the same.
Perhaps in Germany, however, the regu-
lations are somewhat more stringent. A
soldier on meeting the Emperor has to
stand still, face about and remain with
hands raised for from twelve to twenty
PAGES before his Majesty approaches and
for the same distance after he has passed.
In Belgium an officer has to do the same
thing for the King and subalterns for gen.
erals, though ten PAGES only are required
for the latter case. Soldiers carrying any
thing so that their hands are quite occu-
pied salute with their, eyes-that is, they
person coming and going. French officers
raise their caps to each other, but the pri-
Yates do as the privates in other armies do.
