SANK IN THE QUICKSAND.
The Danish Bark Lottie Wholly Disa
pears. with Masts Standing.

The Danish Bark Lottie Wholly Disap-
pears. with Masts Standing.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
steamer Coos Bay, which arrived IN port
today from the Mexican coast, brought
news of the loss at Altata of the Danish
bark Lottie.
1t was during the latter part of last
month that the Lottie, having finished
loading heavy cargo OF dyeWOod, pre-
pared to sail for Hamburg: Owing to
the dangerous character of the harbor OF
Alfalfa, no vessel dares to attempt leav-
ing it without the assistance of tow
boat. There are two separate channels
in the bay, the dividing line being long
and treacherous bar of quicksand. Capt
Clausen of the LOttie summoned to his
aid the steam schooner Alfalfa, which is
about the only available vessel for tow
ing service there.
The bark got along we'll enough III the
wake of the steamer until she reached
a narrow portion of the channel she was
.traversing at a point where the bar was
breaking with unusual force. Here the
Lottie got into trouble. Swinging around
on the haWSer she struck a shallow
spot, and in moment began pounding
upon the bar. The Alfalfa could not pull
the bark out of her dangerous position
The steamer stayed with the Dane dur
ing the night, still vainly striving to get
her Oft the bar. and finally, when she
made an unusually powerful effort, the
hawser parted and the bark became
wedged securely In the sand.
The captain and crew of the Lottie
knew what it meant to 20 ashore i'll
quicksand, and they lost no time in get
ting out the boats and making for the
shore.
At daylight the sea was calmer, and
Capt. Clausen and some of his men Wis
+l1,% ,,<aI -,
sight was her deckhouse and masts, the
hull having disappeared in the quicksand.
The men, although realizing that it was
risky undertaking, crawled upon the
deckhouse and in that way managed to
get into their living quarters. They re-
covered their clothes and yaluables, and
the captain secured his instruments and
charts.
Capt Jensen of the Coos Bay says that
when he left Altata about twelve days ago
the Lottie had completely disappeared

Plants that Serve as Lamps.

1t is well known to botanists that GER
tain plants are luminous to such an ex-
tent that it is possible to read a news
paper at night by their light. The Eu-
phorbia phosphorea, a yinous plant, con
tains milky juice which is brilliantly
phosphorescent, and gives a bright flame
like CLEAN to any solid surface on which
it has been rubbed. These plants, which
grow as fungus, or trailing vines. or
bushes, burn with yellow or green hue,
and sometimes. notably in Borneo, give
out positive blaze of light, travellers in
Asia having noticed trees outlined, as it
were with fire. in the midst OF dense
forests. These lignrs are only found in
tropical regions. A most extraordinary
sight was observed by a Norwegian yes
sci in the Bay of Funchal lately, where
the waters are alive with luminous little
plants nearly all the year round. A wa
terspout was formed among them, and
a pillar of fire seemed to arise out of the
sea and moved quickly before the wind.
Emitting a pale yellow light in the midst
of the blackness Of night, it presented
a weird sight.-St. Paul's.

From an Autograph Catalogue.

l have had considerable amusement in
looking over the catalogue of certain
sale of autograph letters now taking
place in New York. The descriptions Of
famous men are especially naive. For
instance, we find about Whittier: "Fa-
vorite poet. A Quaker and celebrated
for his opposition to slavery" Van Blu
rem was a distinguished statesman be-
fore he became President" Monroe is
supposed to be responsible for the Mon
roe doctrine"
But one of the most interesting things
in the catalogue is a quotation from let
ter of William Warren, our famous COM
edian, written in 1852, IN which he
wrote: II am sorry to say that in these
degenerate days, legitimate plays are
scarcely a requisite to an actor" So it
is in every epoch. We look back upon
1852 as the golden age of the American
stage; to Warren it was a period Of de
generate days" Will our descendants
turn to the ED of this century with re-
greet? Respectfully referred to the Play
goerS' club.-Boston Traveller.

FOUR TINY KITTENS.

Why the Organ Squeaked When Mrs.
Brewster Attempted to Play.
James Brewster of Wolcott, n. Y,
has a famous tortoise shell cat named
Minnie. Clarence Brewster, his son,
has fine pipe organ in his. parlor. The
other night at a small party at her home
Mrs. Clarence Brewster essayed to play
the organ. She was broken-hearteds at
the discovery that it was apparently
ruined. The instrument squeaked and
wheezed and gave forth a series of Curl
Gus sounds, whether the keys were
touched or not.
All drew away from the organ as if
it were bewitched, until the husband
of the hostess arrived. One moment
was enough to enlighten him. With a
hammer and a screw driver he hastily
laid bare the interior of the instrument
In the depths of its bellows Minnie was
found. surrounded by four tiny kittens,
each badly frightened and piping in a
different tone

set forth that cast iron is actually made
tough by Earring or shock, instead OF
being crystallized and weakened. The
interest of this new discovery from
scientific point 81 view is evident, ana
it promises also to prove of no small
practical importance. If cast iron can
be annealed without the use of heat by
simply subjecting it to light jars, it is
entirely possible that many castings and
forgings of iron, steel, other metals, and
even of some classes of earthenware
might be annealed in this manner.-En-

For months past it has been the business
of the Directors of this Company to arrange
for RELIABLE INSIDE INFORMATION
ON SUCH SECURITIES. So successful
have been their efforts that were they at
liberty to disclose only half the knowledge
they possess more capital would be sub
scribed than they could possibly invest; but
such disclosures would defeat the objects
of the Company and prevent successful re-
suits.
THE LARGE FUND at the disposal Of
the Company will be so carefully dissemin-
ated amongst various securities that profits
must be CONTINUAL AND CUMULATIVE.
Thus, instead of investing in one security
which might prove a loss, subscribers ac-
quire an interest in number Of securities,
making individual loss almost an impossi-
bility; for if depreciation affects some in
yestments, the great majority will still
yield immense profits in which EVERY
SUBSCRIBER WILL SHARE.
