The America Maru, which is expected
here ON Friday is the subject OF much
controversy In Japan, over the qucs-
ton of responsibility for her putting
to sea i'm such condition that she had
To return to Yokohama with fire on
board after the fire had once been dis
covered and supposedly eXtinguished.
The captain was told by his Japanese
engineers that the fire would break out
again and they asked to be relieved
of their duties if the steamship was to
start out again in the condition in
which 1t started. He did not accept
their view, however, and they did not
desire to desert. Now the captain is
being criticized for mis- error and as
vigorously defended. as it is stated that
he relied upon expert advice more
competent than his own engineers.
1t is stated that there was fire in
the coal bunkers of the America Maru
when she left San Francisco the last
time and that it smouldered all the
way across the Pacific. The last fire
resulted in a great volume of smoke
between decks and one of the officers
was nearly suffocated
The Japan Daily Mail comes to the
defense of the captain in the following
language:
mo doubt is entertained as to the
existence of fire in the ships bunkers
before she lett port. Inc only question
is whether it had really developed pro-
portions such as to suggest any rea-
sonable apprehension that it could not
easily be dealt with. No one would
be a better judge of that point than
the captain of the vessel, and if he
and the agents took the risk of her GO
ing to sea. we fail to see why outsiders
should busy themselves about the mat
ter. II strikes us as one of those fami-
liar examples of the newspapers know
ing more about everybody's business
than the person chiefly concerned, or
than anybody else, for the matter Of
that The responsible people acted ac-
cording to the best of their judgment
in the interests of all parties, and we
may be sure that they had fuller
knowledge of the conditions than news
paper reporters could possibly have.
The issue shows that their judgment
erred. which is unfortunate for them,

MeteOrs Fall in Africa,

fine collection of meteorites has
just been added to the department of
minerals in the British museum. 1t
consists of four stones which were seen
to fall on January % in the native
villages on the eastern slopes of Mt
Zombo, British Central Africa. Two of
them weighed fourteen and seventeen
ounces, respectively, and the other two
twenty-nine and nineteen ounces. At
Zomba crash like thunder was heard,
and the reverberations lasted for a few
minutes afterward. and the defamation
was heard at place ninety miles dis
tant. At one of the new villages the
people were found squatting around
the stone in a circle discussing the
miracle, as they termed it. None
would approach the stone, and it was
still lying where 1t fell when the Off
Gals arrived. AS far as it is at present
known, the area over which the Zomba
stones fell represented nine miles long
and about three miles wide.-Scientific
