As further details regarding the loss of the
Colma are received. the more evident II becomes
not only that there was a total lack of discipline
ON the vessel. but that just before she sank the
officers treated the passengers with inconceiv-
able inhumanity. even refusing to allow them
to put on life-prcservcrs. No attempt to save the
lives of the passengers was made The boats
were not got in readiness and the condition OF
the vessel was not made known until she was on
the point Of going down. 1t Is miserable story
which is told IN the letter of Mexican planter
who saw the Colima in her death agony, ana
afterward cared for ten persons who came
ashore on RATS. There Is possibility, at least
that these ten are additional survivors to the
number previously reported.

fact the Commissioners have not given any

An Oregon Romance.

A remarkable romance In real life has
Just been rounded of In Oregon. About
twenty,nine years ago James Hard
went to work for q farmer named Arm

stepdaughter. Soon after trouble arose
between the two men. Arnold took his
daughter away from Hard, aud when
Hard went after her the two men
Quarreled, and the result was Arnold
was shot dead and Hard fed the State.
His wife secured q divorce and re.
married. Her husband died q few
years ago. Three years ago Hard re.
turned to Jackson County, was recog'
nized, arrested for tho murder OF
Arnold, and sent to the penitntiary fol
q long term. During his trial his form
or wife visited him frequently, the old
love revived, and she worked her hard

lated a petition for his pardon, and
after two years her efforts were sue
cessful, and Hard was released. A few
days ago the two were reunited In mar

Feeding Wheat and Bran.

s, w. Yantis, Of the Board of Trade,
Buffalo, says. "The merit OF bran or
shorts has long been acknowledged.
There has always been strife on the
part Of the miller to leave as little
flour in the bran as possible, and a de-
sire on the part of the consumers to
have bran as rich in -four as can he
obtained This shows the value of the
finer parts Of the wheat kernel.

tried the experiment that wheat for
feeding hogs Is worth 80 per cent. more
than corn. To-day you can have the

A tiger shark was caught recently of
the coast Of Maui, near Kaanapali. In.
side II were eighteen little sharks about
two feet long. This OviparOus char.
actcristic of some species Of sharks
has probably given rise to many of the
Hawaiian superstitions about these
monsters Of the sen. Some years ago n
monster female shark was caught near
the Island Of Kauai. Inside of her
were found flfty.two young sharks. 1t
Is not known to many that the terrible
teeth Of the shark are flexible and at
the will Of the fish lie fiat In rows, 30
that no teeth are apparent. As It mp.

duced from Germany, intended to do
away with the unhealthfulness Of two

why Old vioiins Arc Best.

Fabulous prices are sometimes paid
for old violins, and many nm enthusiasts
tic musician would part with his last
dollar to possess one Of the master.
pieces Of Stradivarius, or Guarnerius,
or another Of the famous makers Of
century or two ago.
The unquestioned superiority Of these
old, and often battered, instruments
has been variously ascrlbed to the pc.
culiar quality Of the varnish used In
their construction, to the elasticity of
the wood employed, and to the ripening
and improving effects Of age and long
use.
But Mt last summers meeting Of the
American Association for the Advance.
mcnt Of Science reasons were shown
for believing that the real cause Of the,
superiority Of the old instruments IL
due to q peculiar warping Of the wood
to a higher arch, buckling caused ly
the position Of the = holes and sound.

1t might be thought that the same Fl.
feet could be produced by giving an
equal arching to q new instrument, but
the effect, II attained. IL not permanent
because with age the arching increases
until too great q degree Of rigidity IL
the result.
The substitution Of aluminium for
wood In the making Of violins has been
suggested because experiment has
shown that soundboards Of aluminium
resemble In tone those made of wood,
and that IN aluminium violin does not
undergo changes Of form with age, so
that 1t can be made perfect to begin
with and will remain In that condition.
