RETURN OF THE CBEW.
Chief Engineer HurIic Thttks the Ma
& chfnery Hay BE Sdred.


The Spreckels tug Reliance returned
from the wreck of the Colombia yesterday
with Chief Engineer Hurlie, the second
and third mates, boatswain, quartermas-
tiers, some of the deckhands and some of
the coal passers of the doomed vessel.
Only a bakers dozen of the crew re-
manned by the ship. The others simnly
put on whatever clothes they had and
quit.
When they landed at Howard No. 8,
they scattered in all directions, The only
complaint they had to make was that
there was nothing to eat but hardtack.
When the vessel went ashore and every
thing movable was being transferred to
the steam scnooners, they say that the
chief steward cleaned out the pantry and
storeroom and almost everything eatable
was sent to San Francisco.
Early yesterday morning the Reliance
arrived with store of provisions, but the
men were all prepared to leave and they
did so.
Chief Engineer Hurlie came up on bust
ness. He is of the opinion that the
machinery and boilers can be saved, and
is up here to secure the necessary appli-
ances. He says the vessel was resting
easily when he left, ana that the chances
are the Colombia viii remain in her
present position for weeks. From present
indications excursionists will have splen-
did opportunity of viewing the wreck
either to-day or tomorrow.
When the Reliance left the scene of the
disaster all the silverware, glassware,
crockery, carpets, furniture and fixtures
had been removed to the steam schooner
Jewell. In future the men will live on
her and no one will remain overnight on
the wreck. Much may yet be saved from
the Colombia but sue will never leave the
rocks except by piecemeal.

TOO Dimcuit FOR the captain TO Get the
Right End Of His Name.
Captain Thomas S. Smith OF East One
Hundred and Twenty fourth street, who
is somewhat of philologist, had an
amusing experience in trying to aualyze
certain Chinese characters. 1t appears
that when Chang Lee located his laun-
dry in Harlem, the captain was his first
customer. As the acquaintance grew
Chang Lee strained the red tape laun-
dry laws and did not issue the usual
ticket to the captain, but called at his
apartment every Monday for his laun-
dry and returned it ON Thursday in q
package marked with hieroglyphics.
"Is that my manner" asked the cap
tain of Chang as he pointed at the Chi
nese characters shortly after the laundry
delivery plan was inaugurated.
Eyes He you name. See?"
The captain didn't see, but set at
work to do so, and for several weeks
studied the writing that Chang Lee
brought to him on each returning Thurs
day. He searched the libraries for such
Chinese literature and lexicons as they
held, examined laundry tickets and read
the signs in Mott street in the hope Of
being able to learn how Chang Lees
characters conveyed tho idea of the
name Il Smith, but he made an utter
failrre. Finally he decided TO appeal to
Chang Lee.
Is that my namei" he asked the
laundryman on the occasion of his next
visit.

FIRE AND AIR.
Their Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
ognized-Lord Baron's Belief.

The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air was
necessary for fire. The experiment of
burning candle in closed vessel, now
so familiar TO every schoolboy, is very
old one, and the influence of q blast of
air ON furnace had been probably no.
ticed from very remote period BY
some IL was affirmed to be tho food of
fire, while by others the same belief was
embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes
fire."
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers of the past, could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each other
in composition. According to Robert
Boyle, the air contained volatile nj
ter, while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning were
supposed to be due to the presence Of
minute particles of this inter diffused
through air.
The important bearing Of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power Of supporting combustion,
also forms the largest elementary con-
stituent of inter and is likewise the
source Of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
philosopher who lived during the six
teepth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air, which feeds fame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited
