Landing he shot him down, in

for the other Rhodes boys, and not
far from where he had shot
John Rhodes, he saw Chat Hammond
giving AL Rhodes drink of water from
a spring. This so exaspcrated Colston
that instead of killing Rhodes as he had
intended he, killed Hammond. He
then left Rhodes who was un-
armed and went to where his
mistress, Mollie Smith. lived. They
spent part of the night in drunken
carousal, and shortly after daylight
both were found dead in the road.
Whether they were shot by indignant
citizens or by the Rhodes boys or their
friends NAV never be known

A most curious phenomenon--the action
Of solids held in suspension In moving wa
ter-may be practically demonstrated, says
M. Gailols, by taking bottle of white
glass, about inches In diameter and with
fat bottom. putting into it to the depth
Of about one-fifth inch some fine and very
clean siiicious sand, such as win not inter
fere with the transparency Of the water,
filling the bottle with this and corking 1t
so as to exclude all air. On giving the bot
tie a rapid movement of rotation around its
own axis. either by placing it on turn
table or by suspending IL from previously
well twisted cord, all the sand will be pro
jected upon the cylindrical sides of the bot
tie by centrifugal force.
This rotation movement of the bottle
will gradually communicate itself to the
water, progressing from the sides to the
axis, the rotation lasting as long as the
sand adheres to the cylinder. As soon as
the water turns with the same velocity as
the bottle containing II, the sand will on
the bottle being suddenly stopped, at once
quit the sides and precipitate itself toward
the center Of the bottle In the form Of @
cloud, and then reassemble it's particles on
the bottom in the form Of cone, having
the same axis as the bottle, and being high
or as the velocity Of rotation is greater,
Finally, the cone flattens as the velocity of
rotation grows less. until the slope Of the
conical surface is the slope of equilibrium

BRISTOL, r, l., July 1.-The yacht De

the water the cradle carrying the new cup

efforts to pull the boat of proved unavail-
Ing, There was large and enthusiastic
crowd In attendance, who cheered heartily
rs the vessel started for her native ele-
ment and went away disappointed when
1t was found that she could not be moved
further.
All efforts to release the Defender have
proved futile, and this morning she is still
last In the same position into which she
sank during the unsuccessful attempt to
laqpch her. At Intervals during Saturday
night and yesterday, when the tide served,
both tugs and divers were at work, under
the direction Of the Herreshoffs, applying
every means in their power to release the
yacht, but each time, as the tide receded,
tho work had to be abandoned.
The fears felt by the builders and others
that the yacht may become injured by the
strain of her position have not abated, and
after thorough inspection Of the boats
position by the divers yesterday afternoon
the builders were convinced that the bow
OF the yacht must be lightered by pom
toons to relieve the strain as much as pos
Eible during the further work Of getting
her into deep water.
Yesterday afternoon steel hawsers were
attached to the cradle and tugs took them
aboard and started to pull at the OBJ
structed mechanism. The strain was too
great, and the gearing on one tug broke
and the hawser held by the other snapped
asunder. From this it is feared that the
work of releasing the boat will be much
more difficult than was anticipated up to
that time
Hundreds OF visitors came to town yes
terday to view the yacht as she rested at
the foot of the ways and large number
OF yachtsmen sailed into the harbor.
