1t seems if seeds remain dormant so long
as the proportion of carbon peculiar to them is
undiminiShed; water is decOmI Osed by their vital
force; and it is believed that its oxygen, COM
bining with the carbon, forms carbOnic acid,
which is given off. The effect of access Of
water is, therefore TO rob seeds Of their carbon;
and the effect Of destroying their carbon is 70
deprive them OF the principal means which they
possess Of preserving their vitality. BE
this it may, it is incOntestable that as soon

MINNEWASKA WAS
IN BAD WEATHER

The big freight Minnewaska arrived
in the harbor last evening with a car
go OF general merchandise consigned
to Williams, Dimond & &C.
The commander of the mammoth
steamer Minnewaska is Captain Law
erge, who is well known at this pert.
He formerly piled on this coast IN the
whaleback steamer City of Everett,
and the last time that he sailed frcm
here was six years ago. when he took
the steamer laden with grain to In
dia to relieve the fanline-stric6en peo-
pie.
The steamer had some very bad
weather when off the coast OF Chile.
On June 2Srd. while battling with 2.
hurricane, the steering gear was dis
abled. For hours the vessel was help
less. Big seas swept the decks from
bow to stern, smashing lifeboat and
damaging the bridge considerably.
Fortunately, the weather moderated
a little and, with a compass and an
fmprovised steering gear, the steamer
was brought into Corone'. where the
necessary repairs ~ere made.
The chief officer is w. ]. Connell,
formeriS chies officer of the. ssamer
Argyll, and the chief engineer is D.
Griffin, who was connected with the
transport service.-Examiner.
