Daughter of George NJ. Moon, of Han
cock Brother and Sister Rescued.
| Maud, daugh hter OF George NJ. Moon, of
Hancock, aged fifteen years, was drowned
at West Sullivan Sunday. Her brot her
Walter, aged seventeen, and sister Myra,
aged nineteen, were rescued.
The children left home about noon to
visit their aunt, Mrs. Sherman Bunker,
at West Sullivan. They crossed the river
in small skiff which Walter could ham
die readily. While trying to effect a land
ing at the Sullivan Granite Co.'S wharf,
the mast of the boat fouled with the jib-
boom of the schooner George w. Jew
EFT lying at the wharf. In attempting to
clear the boat, Walter grasped the heavy
anchor OF the vessel, which was swung up
to the hawse- hole. The anchor was not
securely fastened, and fell into the small
boat, swamping it. Walter caught hold
of the vessel, thus saving himself. The
two girls were swept under he vessel by
the strong tide which was running The
Older girl WAS rescued by sailor on
board the schooner after she had passed
under the entire length of the vessel She
was unconscious, and it WAS some time
after she was carried to the house OF Mr.
Mckusck that she was restored to con-
sciousness. She was able to return home
Monday.
The younger sister was not seen after
she disappeared under the vessel, and the
body has not yet been recovered When
the two sisters were thrown into the
water, Myra had her arm about her sister,
but she was torn from her grasp by the
swift current.
Mr.. Moon was returning from Green
Lake when messenger met him with
the sad news. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the grief-stricken family.
This is the fourth drowning accident
reported from Hancock in the past five
years, and it is curious coincidence that
all of them occarred on Sunday. On
July 3, 1892, the Bennett boys We're
drowned; and on October %, last year,
Leonard Pomroy was drowned.

water varieties The rivers and lakes OF the
United States are, nc says, inhabited by several
hundred species Of bi,alves called by the general
term of Naades. all of which bear pearls. often
OF great size and beauty. or these Naiades the
most common type is the unio or ordinary river
mussel. The whole Mississippi Basin teens with
these mollusks, and the forms there are for
the most part distinct from those of the All
lantc watershed and of the Old World. All OF
| the unios have an irdcscent inner coating to
their shells but there Is a wide variation in
color. ranging through tints Of pink. purple and
brown. The coors of the pearls depend upon
the tint Of the shcll IrlrE to which they are at
tached. brilliant pink pearls being found in the
beautiful rose conch shells and similar corrc-
spondencc being noted in other mollusks.
A pearl is made UP Of carbonate of lime, in
termixed with layers of animal matter. 1t is
supposed that each one has for a nucleus some
particle Of foreign matter which has become in
serted in the shell. ard which irrtates the mol

ripe" the pearl-seekers say. much may be
sacrificed in point Of size and consequently Of
value It is advisable, says Mr.. Kunz to search
every creel, and river where limestone is the
characteristic rock Of the country since the
musscls usually secrete pearls under this geo
logical condition. Since ii is possible to open
thousands Of musscls without finding a single
stone Of value the pearl-iishcrs learn To know
from their outside appearance what specimens
are likely to prove worth the trouble. The finest

Levees Broken at Many Points, and Want
and Suffering Follow the High Water.
Heavy floods continue in the Lower Missis-
sippi Valley. Beginning at st. Louis and going
toward the mouth of the river, the distress
caused by the high water is great The bnlle-
tins sent out by the Weather Bureau afford
little hope of the abatement OF the waters
A disastrous break occurred in the levees at
Flower Lake, six miles below Tunica. Miss,
Sunday, and will probably be tho most de-
structive in the delta. The most fertile farm
lands Of Mississippi, lying in Coahoma LAHORE,
QuitmaD, and Tallahatchie Counties, in the
northern part Of the State, will bo inundated
and the newly planted crops ruined.
A bad break is also reported in the levees two
miles south Of Helena. Ark, which the people
of southeastern Arkansas made such hard
fight to save. The waters will food great
area, and likely back up into the streets Of
Helena. At St. Louis, Memphis and Vicks.
burg the water is still rising.
Gov. McLauren. of Mississippi. is collecting
information regarding food sufferers. The
condition of the poorer classes throughout the
flooded districts is pitiable. Thousands of
refugees are huddled together on the levees
and higher spots of land waiting for relief.
The $4,000 already appropriated by Congress
will be wholly inadequate to alleviate the
want and suffering
