THIRTEEN PERSONS BURNED.
Fire in a Newark, N. j., Tenement
Destroys Many Lives.

Newark, N j., March 12-Fifteen
persons, a majority of them children,
were smothered and, burned to death
in a tenement house at Morris and
Fourteenth avenues this morning.
Thirteen bodies have been recovered
from the ruins within three hours af=
ter the flames were extinguished.
The building was three story frame,
formerly used as a church, but trans
formed into tenement house with
small rooms opening into a narrow
hallway, forming veritable fire trap.
1t was right in the heart of the Ital-
ian district. It is said the fire was
of incendiary torigin. Men and wo-
men, crazed by grief, ran tearing
around the streets looking for the
man responsible for the frightful
tragedy and threatening vengeance
There were at least twelve families
In the place, sixty persons in all, OF
whom perhaps fifty were children un-
able to care for themselves. The
place was like roaring caldron wher
the firemen arrived. Then began the
work of rescue. One after another
women, then men. were taken dowr
while other firemen devoted their at
-tention to the drowning out of th'
flames. This they succeeded in do
Ing in less than an hour.
Newark, March 12-Vito Credayo |:

fire to the building His wife ant

building, when fire was discovered.

WONDERFUL GEYSER AT WORK
California spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet In the Air.

800 Feet in the Air.
 From the Scientific American: The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on record-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes Of a community fa- miliar already with instana acs 7f what nature can accomplish whsL !; se-s 23s to do something out of the e9----.-=-. Southern Californians are so usc5 sa shocks of earthquakes, incipient vJtea- hoes, or threatened tidal waves that 1t takes something extremely eruptive to disturb their ordinary eompesure, but the successful effort of a rural rancher in his search for water with which to irrtgate his fields, parched with long drouth, has turned the gaze of the whole state toward the little town of WhittieF,a a hamlet located in the neigh borhood of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago a farmer named Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs, began sinking an ar tesian well. Others in the neighborhood had successfully tapped subterranean flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet. and Mir. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills descended until depth of 500 feet was attained. This was on Sum- day, May 14. A drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect Of tapping a good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. 4 ten-lnch pipe had been sunk some dis tanee, and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make its expected appearance. The heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when, after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, aceomDa- nied by jets of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made its appearance, foi- lowed by grand e8umn of water. which forced itse,f fgher an5 higher until the top reached an elevation of 500 feet. The flow vas accompanied by vast quantities Of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with q strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quan- titles was mixed with the flow The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree. No geyeer of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity. The column of muddy water was like great pillar, extending almost to the clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ex- erted was equal to thousand powerful engines For two weeks this phenome- non has been active. though some diminution of the force exerted Is be- ginning to be apparent. The flow of wate" is enormous, and, the country being flat, some difficulty is appre- hended in it's control.

DIAMONDS OF VARIOUS HuEs.
Most of Them Are oolorless, But Some
 Are Red and Black.

Although thousands of men and women in Chicago wear diamonds. at least on occasions if not constantly, few know much about the precious gems they value so highly. While the largest number of diamonds are white. a clear colorless, transparent stone is rarer than might be supposed. There are also red. blue. green, yellow, brown, black and pink ones. Heat often changes the color and after awhile the acquired hue becomes per- manent. Yellow diamonds perhaps af- lord the greatest variety Of shades. se1he of theE. surpass any other gem ef that color. Specimens of canary eolored diamonds are quite common If the gem has a rose-colored tint it IS very valuable, while red tints, sur s&sSlng the ruby and considered ths most beautiful of all precious gems. are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record. One weighing ten earats was bought by Emperor Paul of Rus sla for Sl00, GOO. A cinnamon, or brown stone Is undesirable, as it is seldom AAeNh QAaH1OAQ Is u0dfiV as scarce as red one. Blue diamonds rank next to red ones in variety and beauty. Those of 8. dark blue color, resembling sapphires, are handsome gems, differing only from the sapphires Tn quality and the beautiful play of coIors peculiar to the diamond The only real blue stones are found in the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck ana Hope diamonds, there are only TWO others in the world that are prop erly called blue diamonds. The green varieties are not as rare as the blue. black, red and rose-eolored species. Yet grass green or fine emerald color IS scarce. When it does occur it Is more brilliant than the finest emerald mere are several varieties of green tinted diamonds at the museum of nat. nral history in Paris, but the hest Known specimen is at Dresden and is considered one of the five paragons of the world among gems.-Chicage Chronicle.

TRANSPORTATION OF MONKEYS
rgan-Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 Here NnwadaYa.

orean-tsrinders Do Not Garry Them
 Here Nowadays.
 A man who had missed the mon keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets, and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business, to the substitution of the big piano-organ on wheels, managed by two persons, for the oid- fashioned smaller hand-organ, that Ras carried about by the player, found upon inquiry that, whatever influence the changed conditions might have had, the carrying of monkeys by or gan-grinders is now prohibited here by a city ordinance. There are, how ever, places in which the monkey still forms valuable part of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal, clad in an embroidered jacket and wearing fancy hat, which 1t doffs for the pennies, still climbs fences and rainwater conductors, ana hops up on porehes quite in the old familiar way, in search of contribu- tiens While monkeys are not per- mitted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ grinders who can use them else where; and a well-trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $50. It had seemed, with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the fa9 appears to be that, if anything, tW Importation is just now rather great& than usual. due to the increased de- mand from the show people, who are, after all, the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country. The organ grinders use a considerable number; a few, comparatively, are sold for zo- ological collections, and in recent years few have been sold for pets; but the largest buyers of monkeys are the travelling shows, of which there are, besides the great, modern, consoli- dated shows, many smaller ones, show ing in smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together, and these shows use up good many monkeys. The life of a monkey on the road is usually but single seagoR. The show reneWs it's stock of monkeys every year.

Dealers in Germany Are Fined Fifteen
 Eggs for Every Bad One.
 The Germans are a practical nation. Having realized that by proper organ ization they can keep within the Ger man border the 150,000,000 marks, or say $30,O00,00 which the people of the empire now pay to foreigners for poul- try and eggs, they have formed a club for the purpose of developing a home poultry business. Egg depots are to be established in the principal cities, notably at Ghemnitz, Dresden and Leipzig. The public are to be supplied with eggs, the good quality and fresh ness of which will be absolutely guar anteed. This system will give conf dence to customers and at the same time give poultry raisers a more eer- tain and a quicker market for their product than they could otherwise se- cure. In order that bad eggs may be traced to their origin, each poultryman is required, before sending his eggs to the depot, to mark them with a sign previously determined upon, which will designate them as fresh eggs and denote their source. For each egg sold which proves to be inedible the pur- chaser is entitled to receive fifteen good ones without charge; and the products of the egg-raiser who deliv- cred the bad egg to the depot are to be excluded therefrom for stated period.--London Telegraph.

An Interesting niscoverv.

All interesting discovery has reward ed the researches of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace London. There has always Iurked suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room, which is in the center of the east wing of Wrens famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- Portant work by that once famous dec- oratiVe artist, Verrio, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735. owing to a stupendous act of Yandal, ism. which, it is presumed, was car- ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735. probably 10 prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen, The date is known by the exe tTaordinary act of the paper hanger of that time. who, in covering up Yerrio's VIC. lS scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging.

THE BICYCLE TRADE.
Combination Cannot Keep Up the Prios
 of Wheels.

or Wheels.
 The reduction in the price of bicycles from $50 to less than a third of that amount has weighed heavily upon the minds of the manufacturers who en- tered the wheel trust. The combina- tion was undoubtedly made with the purpose of advancing prices to point that would restore at least part of the old fabulous profits, but it is doubtful if 1t can be made success Too many independent manufacturers are in ex- fstenee who are free to extend their trade by offering every possible induce ment in the way of price and quality. such as individual competition sug- gests. One of these has just issued circular. in which he has the following to say; We have a thoroughly or ganized and profitable business both ln firearms and bicycles, and there Is eo necessity for our joining any move ment to attempt to monopolize or manipulate the bicycle trade, or to as- sist some of the 'top-heavy' firms to dispose of their factories at fancy prices and thus avoid a probable col lapse. We are and shall remain per- feet1y independent and free to act ac- cording to our business judgment and our sense of justice and fairness to the agents who have assisted us in building up our present large business. No one can buy better material or build high EEade bicycles cheaper than we can, and we have completed our plans and our new line of bicycles much earlier than usual, so as to make this state- ment frankly and squarely to our agents, and we announce our line and prices for the coming season as fol- lows: Medium grade roadster, s25; high-grade roadster, $25; with coaster brake, $40; with cushion frame, $50; chainless, $60." AS these prices are cut of $15 on each grade, and as the manufacturer is one of high repute in the trade, it is manifest that the trust will not be able to advance the cost of wheels next season. Besides, the day has passed when the WheeIman could be persuaded that his machine, beautiful and delicate as it is, can be more costly than a small steam engine. Louisville Courier-Journal.

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats Will Make the BivaIva
 More Accessible.


 The submarine boat will revolution :ze the oyster industry. When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission of the owners, procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new ArgonAut can employ this method of gathering oysters. rising to the surface when her diving-room is full, or send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- ceptacles, which those on the surface are frozen over and oystermen cannot ply their trade the Argonaut can go under the ice. Fishing can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets, for the fish have no fear of the object they evidently consider whale, the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention of the first sue cessful submarine yoyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer. for the supply in shallow water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet. and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut will go and. gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at rrice no great CT than that paid for the common va rieties. She will also try pearl fishing. now conducted at an enormous expense of life, for by strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found In localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water, need not fear, and her div CTS, insead of gathering up the oysters by the single handful. can gather then by the bushel.- .-Lippincott's
