planned to the management by a statement that
she had a sprained ankle, is lying in a dangerous
condition at her home. suffering from bullet
wound the heart, according to DIR. Walter
{. Gildery, who says that he attended her after
she was shot.
No reason for the shooting is given. Miss Ric-
cardo herself has said nothing except that hes
probably in the hospital by this time" when she
first recovered consciousness.
The deepest mystery surrounds the whole al
fair, and the fact that it was so carefully con-
cealed from the police that it was not till late
last night that the police captain of the Ten
derloin heard of it adds to the uncertainty.
Miss Riccardos maid says she left the act

Birds Find refuge on Liehtshlp.

The captain in charge of a light
ship situated at the entrance to San
Francisco harbor recently reported to
the United States light house com
missioner that large number of land
birds took refuge on board the yes
sci. A dense smoke from northern
forest fires hung over the locality and
completely obacured sea and land.
Evidently the birds had lost their
way. and. exhausted by their long
flight. the wanderers lighted on the
ship undeterred by the presence of
the crew. AT one time sixty OF the
feathered guests were counted on va
rious parts of the ship. Owls. cranes.
hummlngbirds and other non-marine
species were noticed during the time.

Prohlem for scientists.

In connection with the terrific cy-
clone which recently passed over
Sicily, II is reported that throughout
the daF, when the storm was at its
worst, Mount Etna sent up thick
column of steam from the vicinity of
the scene of the eruption of 1892"
This could hardly be due to the tor
rental rains that fell. because most
likely the crater was above the cloud
Level IN such storm. More probably
the issue of steam and other gases
may be ascribed to the diminution of
atmospheric pressure. Ordinary air
presssre is about fifteen pounds per
square inch. with the barometer at
thirty inches. A fall to 29.5 is, there
fore. a drop of one-sixtieth, or re-
duetion In the weight of the atmos-
phere OF one pound for every four
square inches. On a single square
mile this would amount to over one
Thousand million pounds, or rather
less than 100000 tons. There is good
reason TO believe that the outrush of
steam and gas from volcanoes de
pends. as in coal mines. to a large ex-
tent on air pressure. and such fall in
the weight of over every square mile
of surface might conceivably produce
large effects in the deep cayerns of
Etna.
