LIFE PREsERvERs.
Those on the Steamer General SIocum
Were Practically Useless.

New YORK, June 24-Much OF the
testimony at the inquest Thursday
into the General Slocum disaster went
to show that the life preservers on
the steamer. were practically useless.
At least half a dozen witnesses de-
scribed how difficult these life preserv-
ers were to get at, and hCw they fell to
pieces at critical times. Paul Lilbenow,
a passenger of the General Slocum, who
has lost six members of his family in
the disaster, declared that when the
wires by which the preservers were Sc.
cured in the rackets would not give,
he took hold of the preservers and
they crumbled Ike so many soda crack
ers
Capt Van Schaick was brought into
the court room on stretcher. He APP
parently was suffering greatly but ex-
pressed a willingness to undergo an
examination by the coroner. He was
ordered back to the hospital, how
ever.
Twenty-four additional bodies were
recovered. Thursday, bringing the total
number of known dead up to 907 One
hundred policemen, who have been
making a canvass of all districts where
persons were reported to be missing,
completed their work tonight. Inspec-
tor Schmitiberger, who was in charge
of the canvass, estimated the total num-
Der of dead, including the missing, at
about one thousand.

was estimated that four tons of silk
cOcoOns were produced in 1888 in the
county Of Windham, Conn. individuals
in Massachusetts were said TO have Gull
tivated it with success for 80 years.
This interest in silk culture soon
passed beyond bounds, and there orig

multicaulis craze. Anticipating a most
profitable investment. if, not speedy
riches. thousands of individuals pur-
chased mulberry plants of the Multi
caulis species and planted large areas
of valuable land The investments far
exceeded possible returns; heavy
frosts destroyed the plantations of
trees, and in the course of a few years
the many failures and great disap-
pointments caused so complete revul-
sion of feeling that not only was silk
culture. practically abandoned all
through the states, but the very name
became byword.
Ten years or more after the discoy-
cry of gold in California had attracted
many thousands of people to that state.
and at time when its extraordinary
agricultural prospects were first Begin
ming to be exploited, the SILK industry
began to raise its head there. Near
San Jose, in 1861, a Frenchman named
L. Provost, having begun the propaga-
ton Of the mulberry, succeeded in
raising excellent cocoons. In the trans
actions Of the State Agricultural So
ciety for 1S64-65, Mr.. Provost published
a short article on silk culture in Cal
ifornia, in which he showed that his
first paintings were made in 1853 or
1854, and that he had induced two Ia
dies. named A Packard and E. GouX,
of Santa Barbara. to start a plantation
of 5000 trees, with the result that in
1864 they raised five pounds of silk
worm eggs. Plantations had also been
made in the San Joaquin valley, and
50, 900 trees had been set out near CEN
tTel Utah.
When, in June 1878. Prof. 6. v Ri
ley was appointed entomologist of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. he brought with him from Mis-
souri, a strong interest in silk culture
and a conviction that this industry
could be established in the United
States.
In 1882 trees were sent out to cor
respondents of the department and the
report was made that among the Men
nonites in one of the western states
mulberry trees had been planted in
thick hedges at the limits of the fields
and both sides Of the highways and
byways. The trees we're cut down one
third at a time every three years, fur
nishing an abundant supply of fuel and
also serving as windbreaks. These peo-
pie had almost 10000 pounds Of cocoons
on hand for sale.
In the spring of 1895 some 5000 null
berry trees were distributed, as well as
a quantity of sllkwOrm eggs. No CO.
coons were bought by the department.
