WAR SHIP ON ROCKS
The Massachusetts Grounded
While Leaving Bar Earbor.
TWOBULKHEADS FILLED WITH WATER
While IA Dense FOs Prevailed the
Battle ship struck Egg RGck
and Thea GIided Into
Deep Water.

BAR HARBOR Me, Aug. 13.-While
lea wing the harbor during a thick fog
in company with other vessels of the
north Atlantic squadron the battle ship
Massachusetts sustained considerable
damage by striking on a ledge of rocks
off the western end of Egg rock.
The vessel slipped over the rocks into
deep water, but the two forward bulk
heads soon filled with water, and it
was subsequently found that several
plates forward had been cracked. The
Massachusetts was headed back into
the harbor with considerable difficulty,
accompanied by her sister vessel the
Indiana and the gunboat Scorpion. She
will remain here until Captain Man
ming, her commander, receives orders
from Washington.
Tha squadron, under the command of
Rear Admiral Barker, which has been
on this part of Il coast engaged in a
wal game, got Ter way shortly be
fore noon for Long Island sound,
where there will be tactical exercises

The flagship Kearsarge led the fleet,
and Immediately following were the
battle ships Alabama. Illinois, Texas,
Massachusetts, Indiana, the cruisers
Olympia, Baltimore, Topeka. Yankee,
Prairie. the gunboat Scorpion. besides
the smaller vessels of the fleet. The
squadron had no sooner started than a
dense fog which had been hanging off
shore all the morning rolled in, and
within ten minutes it was impossible to
see more than fifty yards. The Mas
sachusetts occupied a position on the
port quarter of the Texas as she pro-
ceeded out of the harbOr, which
brought her much nearer to Egg rock
than the other ships. 1t is believed
that the accident was due to a miscal-
culation of her position on the part OF
her navigating officer.
When the battle ship struck she was
going at the rate of about nine
and a half knGts, and although she was
drawing twenty-siX feet of water and
there was less than twenty-five feet
on the ledge her progress was but little
retarded and she at once passed over
into deeper water. Her officers stated
that if she had been fifty feet to the
westward she would have cleared the
ledge. The collision siren was imme-
diateIy sounded and the bulkhead doors
closed tight. The Indiana and Scorpion,
which were Immediately behind her.
ran alongside to render assistance, and
two torpedo boat destroyers were sent
over by Admiral Barker to report on
the accident.
The channel at this point is very mar
row, and it was no slight task to Il
the ship in such a dense fog. With the
assistance of II of the naval tugs this
was finally accomplished, and the Mas
sachusettS was soon at anchor, with
the Indiana and Scorpion close along
side.

Cause of RanciditY.

Rancidity of butter has received a
variety of explanations. A chemical
study leads Jensen, a German bac-
teriologist, to conclude that micro
organisms are the cause, three species
being especially active, and that the
air plays no part except in stimulat-
ing the growth of the bacteria. Salt
retards their growth. They require
oxygen, and in protecting butter it is
desirable to keep it in large masses,
exposing the smallest possible surface
to the air.

Death Is

1t is becoming understood that death
is often-if not always-a gradual pro-
cess, cells OF tissues remaining alive for
hours or even days after the organism as
a whole is dead. Professor Herring points
out that this is especially noticeable in
some of the lower animals. The action
of ciliated cells from the gills of a clam
or the trachea of a dead frog may be OBJ
served for a long time under the micro
scope, and when supplied with nutrient
solution cells from a frogs brain have
been kept alive for more than a week.
Hearts of animals often 10Y long after
removal from the body. The heart of
a frog will beat for hours, and that of a
