Crushed n Diving Bell.

From the New York World.
A crushed mass of iron in a Pittsburg
scrap yard demonstrates the tremendous
pressure of water at a great depth.
1t was constructed for diving bell for
use In Lake Michigan. AS originally con-
structed it was about six feet square, and
tapered slightly at both ends. The material
was phosphor bronze, more than half an
inch thick Each plate was cast with a
flange, and they were bolted together the
bolts being placed as closely as was con-
sistent with strength. The side plates were
further strengthened by iron ribs an inch
thick and two inches wide.
In fact, the entire structure was strongly
braced. The windows to be used as out
looks by the divers were three inches
square, fortified with iron bars and set
with glass plates an inch thick The weight
of the bell was 5000 pounds.
When completed 1T was sent to Milwau-
kee and towed out into the lake about
twelve miles, where there was over 200 feet
of water, and was sent down for a test.
The manufacturer was so confident of the
strength of the bell that he wanted to go
down in 1t.
He is glad now that he didn't. When the
bell reached the depth of about 100 feet
strong dmbers attached to 1t came to the
surface In a splin.ered condition.
Suspecting an accident, the bell was haul
ed up and found to be crushed into a shape
less mass. The inch-thick plate glass bu.. 8
eyes were shattered. The pressure that
crushed this seemingly invuinerahle stritc-
ture amounted to a total OF 2, 723. 54S pounds,
Or 1,862 tona.

AWESOME TREES.
HOW the Giants Of the Yosemite linz
pressed n Traveller

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
we made side trip TO the big trees OF
the Mariposa group, which are about one
hour ride from the hotel, says a corre-
spondent. III the smallest of these trees
could be planted anywhere in Pennsyl-
Vania the railroads would run excursion
trains to 1t and make money. The trees in
TINS grove are so large that IL takes a good
while TO fully appreciate the facts about
the size of the biggest of them The ''Griz-
ely Giant" is 81 feet through at the base
and over 800 feet high. This tree would
overtop the spires on the Pittsburg Cathe-
oral by about 100 feet. The trunk OF this
Tree Is 100 feet clear to the first limb which
is 70 feet in circumference. Many other
trees here are nearly as large as this one
and there are 400 in the grove. Through IL
several tunnels have been cut, and a four
Morse stage can go through these tunnels
on the run and never Craze "A hub. You
get an approach to an adequate idea of
their size by walking off a hundred yards
or so while the stage is standing at the
foot OF tree and CHANGING from top to
bottom, keeping the stage in mind as a
means of comparison. The stage and horses
look like the little tin outfit that Santa
Claus brought you when you Were a good
little boy.
These trees are no longer to be called the
largest in the world, however. species
of eucalyptus has been found in Australia

Getting Out of Russia.

From the New York Sun.
An English woman who has been travel
ing in Russia seems to have found 1t easier
to get in than to get out of the car s
country. She sent her passport to the au-
thorities before starting in order to have it
vised, and then blithely made for the from
tier.
Arriving there, she was Immediately de-
tanned and taken before the powers that
not only be, but also do, at the Russian
frontier. Here she was informed that her
passport did not permit her to leave the
country, and that she would be obliged to
make herself comfortable while the police
found out all she had done while in the
country.
At first she was rather pleased at the
thought of how she would tell her friends
about it when she got home. But when
she found that she had to pay not only
for her room, her meals service and all
that sort of thing. but also for long tele-
grams which the authorities were exchang-
ing in regard to her case, her pleasure
dwindled as rapidly as her funds did
She finally got off. however. but without
receiving any apology or any reimburse
ment.

An Old Long Island Tree.

From the New York Sun.
The eagle tree" of East Moriches, L. J.,
an oak centuries old, is said TO be dying.
1t had been occupied by a pair OF bald
headed eagles since the end Of the last CEN
fury, whether the same pair all this time is
not sure, but such is the belief. The build
ing Of railroad 100 yards from the tree
drove them away awhile, but in 1887 they
returned and the household was maintained
until a hunter wounded the male eagle so
badly that he died at the foot of the tree
which was his home. They say the hunter
would have been lynched il he had been
caught. Ospreys are said to have after
ward occupied the nest which the eagles
abandoned, but this does not seem likely.
The owner of the land where the tree
grows says he does not own the tree which
had rights there before he came, and it
shall never be cut down.

in support from a book published more

and the British sugar Islands, he says:

O'SulliVan and a companion left Vir-

fall, lnjurlng him to such an extent that
he could not walk. His companion wrap

AT THE UNION FAMILY.

Martell's comedians will open at the
Union Family theater tonight. The
Portland Oregonian says of this COM
pany:
Portland loves to laugh. That was
demonstrated very successfully last
night by the crowded house that greeted
Martell's comedians at Cordray's the
alter.
The company, which is a very clever
one, presented Miss Tattler's Troubles
in a most pleasing manner, and will as
suredly be among Manager Cordray's
successes this season. Harry Martel
has a reputation as a purveyor of good
things in the comedy line, and when his
productions appear in Portland, where
good things are appreciated, they are
sure to meet with a hearty reception.
Miss Tattler's Troubles" is a musical
farce comedy, in two acts, and was
shown at it's best last night, while the
hearty laughter that followed each hit
was a guarantee Of it's ability to amuse.
Between the acts there is an olio of
specialties, introduced by an airy sketch
entitled Cous Elias VISIT full of
, funny situations. Besides this sketch
there are a number of interesting special
ties that are very attractive. Perhaps
most notable among these is the per-
' Torrance of the famous Martell family,
in their marvellous trick bicycle riding.
The cOmpany'S engagement includes
every night this week, with a matinee
on Saturday., and is destined to draw

1.-THE MIDNIGHT BELL"

If Charles HOyt had not openly ac-
knowledged that he was the author of
The Midnight Bell' which was given at
the Grand last night few people would
believe it. 1t is on the "Old Homestead"
and Way Dow East" notwithstanding
on realistic effects and characters more
than on comedians and buffonery. 1t is a
refined, true to life story, located in a
small New England village and dealing
with just such people as one can find in
those places today. But there is a plot
to this play, an interesting story of rob-
berry, he wrong person accused, lovers
playing at cross purposes, etc. A great
deal of attention has been given to the
staging of the piece, the school house
scene being especially good.
Those who like a natural, most interest
ing play, presented by a most capable
company, should not miss the midnight
Bell L. r. Stockwell is of course the
star, playing the role HOyt wrote for him,
Deacon Tidd. Stockwell has been on The
stage nan years but he is at his best in
this play. Frank Bacon, as the villain
Larabee, played the role easily and natur-
ally. Those who remember him when
starring in The Estate of Hannibel

Mobiles were disappointed the role was not
more important. Francis Yale is a hand

in San Francisco, made a dainty little

ceptable. The play is evenly divided, no
particular one seeming to have the CEN
ter of the stage more than the others.

fact that the city is receiving no rental

In the matter of the estate of "A. {.
White deceased. Frank Britton petitioned
the district court today for the revocation
of the order appointing j. P. Collins
special administrator of the estate, ana
his own appointment to the position. In
his document he states that Collins was
a stranger to White during the lifetime
of the latter and not at all familiar with
his business, and is therefore not quallneo
to preserve the interests of the estate;
that since his appointment he has been
unable or has failed to collect accounts
against parties with whom White did
business; that there is now about $l,3oo
in debts outstanding which petitioner be-
lieves Collins will be unable to collect;
the the entire estate, including the $1,000,
| amount to $500 or $500. In addition there
debtedness 81 $780,; that the expense OF
conducting the ADMINISTRATION VIII
amount to $50 Cor $500. In addition there
is a legacy of $500 to be paid Mrs. Rose
| White. widow of the deceased; and ac-
| cording to the will the balance belongs
to the petitioner. which fact makes the
| preservation of the estate of vital inter-
est to him.: that the petitioner is also en-
titled to a considerable sum of money fol
unpaid wages earned by him while in the
cmploy of the deceased, and Collins, in his
report as special administrator, virtually
ignored this claim.
TIL petitioner further says that Whit
left a wife in Sacramento, Cal, where sh'
has resided separately from White fol
nineteen years; White also left a nephew
r. G. White, at Marion, Ia, and so ia
as petitioner knows, these two are tn
only legal heirs.

Suits.

Clinton Sloan and Edward McGovern
were made defendants in a suit for dam
ages in the district court today, w. Nee.
White being the plaintiff. In his com
plant MI. White alleges that on or about
January /. 1897, he leased to the Defend
ants the right to cut ice from a portion
of a pond south of the city; that there
was a dam in the pond and defendants
agreed to keep it in repair during the
period of the lease; that part of the pond
was reserved by the plaintiff for his own
use; that yesterday the defendants
threatened to tear out the f1ood-gate or
the dam, let the water out and allow the
ice to settle in the mud because plaintiff
was cutting ice.
Continuing, the plaintiff alleges that
he is informed and believes that the de-
PENDANTS are insolvent and not able to
respond in damages, and unless they
are restrained from the commission of
the acts threatened plaintiff will be
wholly deprived of any relief; that by
the acts of the defendants already COM
mitted the plaintiff has suffered $1,000
damage in the loss of time and destruc-
ton of ice, as a portion of the water IN
the pond has been actually drained and
the ice allowed to settle in the mud.
The plaintiff demands judgment fol
81 600 and the issuance of an order per-
petually enjoining the defendants from
the commission Of the acts alleged. The
attorneys in the case are Guy l.. Reet
and Robert Mcbride.
The complaint was filed about 2 O'CLOCK
this morning, one of the deputy clerks
of the court being aroused from his
, slumbers to make the necessary entry or
the record. Judge Clancy was also called
up to sign the restraining order.
