The failure OF the oil steamer Wild
flower, which sailed from Philadelphia
for Rouen. on Dee. II. to reach her des-
tination or to turn up at any known
port, lends probability TO the report
that she has been destroyed with all on
board by an explosion OF the oil which
constituted her cargo. The sudden
glare in the sky. followed by the duh
roar of heavy explosion. reported by
the captain Of the Loeb Etive on the
night Of Jan. 6. off the coast of Ireland
describes the familiar phenomenon at
tending oil tank explosions. and to
those familiar with fires in the oil re-
gions will be accepted as evidence of
the fate of the missing steamer. Fires
and even explosions at sea were not
unknown to the oil trade when all en-
port oil was shipped in barrels or eases

LEANING TOWER IN RUINS.
For One Day This 225- Foot Steel Shaft
Resembled Pisa's Pride.

For One Day This 225- Foot Steel Shaft
Resembled Pisa's Pride.
The last vestige of the great midwin-
ter fair at San Francisco was removed
recently when the tall tower on which
the great searchlight was placed was
pulled down after several days OF hard
labor. Dynamite was tried GU the
foundations at first without success.
Enormous cables wound on windlasses
were attached to the framework and
pulled, while twelve blasts were fired
in the four ten-foot cubes of cement
that formed the foundation stones.
With all that energy the tower only
leaned little to one side, and for
thirty-six hours San Francisco had a
leaning tower of Pisa. The number of
blasts was doubled, more cables We're
attached, and at last in one long, grand
pull. aided by twentyfour laundering
explosions, the 225 foot shaft Of steel
toppled slowly over, bent and twisted
into fantastic shapes. The iron was
then broken up for junk.
The electric tower was a white ele-
plant to the men who invested money
in it, It did not come anywhere near
paying for it's construction. The COM
pany became involved in financial diff
cultieS it is said, and when the mana
gers learned that it would cost more
to take the thing down than it would
bring chopped into pieces they decided

James Fl. McVicker is the Oldest the
atrical manager in Chicago and the
West. He was never profiigate, but
had kindly heart and was generous
to a fault. There is perhaps not an
other gentleman in the dramatic pro-
fession so popular as Mr.. McVicker, and
thousands were deeply panied to learn
of his atfiiction.
Some good stories are told Of the hard
work necessary some times in the old

THE wlcKEDNEss OF SLEEPING
Some of the Notions Which We're En-
tertained Years Ago.

Some of the Notions Which We're En-
tertained Years Ago.
That idea was almost dominant in
religious society sixty years ago, and
sometimes assumed forms which. if
not ridiculous, were at least quaint. 1t

any but the aged to sit in easy chairs.
not, as is now vainly imagined, from
any ignorant idea as to the injury done
to the figure. but because "Iolloping'
betrayed a blameworthy tendency to
ease and self-indulgence. That was the
origin also Of the extraordinary preiu-
dice against taking any extra sleep.
The old knew well that sleep, when
sleep is not needed, is to the young the
most wearisome Of all obediences. but
nevertheless they believed that to wish
to sleep more than a strictly regulated
time. which. according to modern
hygeists. was too short, was mark of
sluggish selfindulgence, and it was
visited, therefore, with moral reproba-
ton.
Early rising was eXtravagantlyp rais-
ed not because it heightened the day.

but because it was disagreeable; and
some curious rules of diet-for example.
abstinence from sugar-were defended
in part upon the same principle We
have known girls cut off their curls
avowedly because they were proud of
them, and men go about in shabby
clothes. because. as they ayerred and
believed, it was well by diminishing
comfort to promote serious reflection
