small Turkish island of that name lying
OF the coast of Asia Minor, possesses the
Oldest tree in the world. Under its shade
Hippocrates inculcated his disciples in
his methods ind views concerning the

carries the age of the tree back to the
time of Hsculapius tof whom Hppocrates

add some 400 years to its age. A great

Three Horses Affected.

Sunday afternoon William Col
Inns, who conducts a livery and eX-
change stable in Smyrna. noticed
that one or two OF his horses APP
pcared to be sick, but thought they
would soon be alright. Yesterday
one Of the animals, a fine black
mare, valued at one hundred dol
lars died and two others will prob
ably die tonight. The horse that
died, had the symptoms of having
been poisoned and swcatcd freely.
Mr.. Collins tried several remedies.
but his roadstcrs seemed TO get no
better. Late last night he sent for
DR.. J. II. kuhns. of Dover, who ar
rived in Smyrna about one o'clocl;
this morning. The veterinary made
a careful diagnosis of the horses
and pronounced the diseases as
spinal meningitis, stating the other
two horses that We're down could
not recover. 1t was brought on by
too violent exercise, the horses hav-
ing been standing in the stable
nearly all winter with little to do
until Friday when they were given
a long drive. Mr.. Collins has eight
more horses in his stable but it is
not thought they will be affected.

WAS H.
i THE i | .SALIuA?
Captain Of the Steamer AL
gonguin Says lie Saw
f1er Oft Cape Henry.

A strange mystery of the sea is
embodied in the report brought by
the commander of the Clyde Line
Steamer Algonquin, W hich arrived
yesterday from jacksonville. II
was only the mention OF passing a
vessel at sea, but the name of the
latter was sufficient to start thrill
of excitement through the shipping
fraternity.
! Captain Plat, of the Algonquin,
is certain that he saw the bark
b Salina, which sailed from Phila-
delphia Tor Cienfuegos December 5
with a cargo of coal, and which
not having been spoken or heard
from since, has been given up for
lost.
The revelation made by the
Algonquin's master was remark
able one. In substance he said
that while off Cape Henry on Sum
day he sighted bark, bearing the
name Salina on her quarterboard.
Were it not for the fact that Cap
tain Pratt's reliability i'll marine
reports is unquestloned ther would
have been no hesitation among
those who heard the news in pro-
nouncing it unture. 1t has been
accepted, however, as a fact by
more than half of those who are in
terested in the missing bark.
With such conclusion, the story
Of the Salina becomes the most
puzzling one in years. 1t will be
remembered that she sailed for
Cienfuegos on the date mentioned
under command of Captain Hill
grove and with a crew of eleven
men. The voyage is ordinarily a
short one and should not have oc-
cupied more than twelve days.
When time passed on and day sue
ceeded day with no news of the
bark 5 arrival grave fears of her
loss were entertained by her con-
signees, which of late have given
way to positive belief. The vessel
has been posted in Lloyds as miss
ing and has been given up Tor lost
for at least three weeks.
1t is certain that the Salina never
arrived at Clenfuegos. No one
knows her fate 1t may have been
by fire, shipwreck or collision, but
such is to be revealed only when the
sea gives up its dead.
The most astonishing feature of
Captain Platt's report is that the
Salina was sighted as far north as
Cape Henry. 1t is impossible to
conceive that she should in more
than two months have only reached
that early stage in her journey.
1t is believed by the Maritime Ex-
change that the vessel seen by Cap
tain Plat was the bark Good News
which arrived from Rio Janeiro YES
terday. In the meantime specula-
ton is rife in this ard other ports
and further news of the missing
is awaited with interest.
