the engineer left his post for minute to see it. It was indeed a magnificent sight, the great frozen mass was bank ed up against the clear azure sky. The men gazed in open-eyed astonishment And as all eyes were instantly fastened upon 1t, something seemed alive amidst the deadly white ice. It moved: At first 1t was hardly perceptible. and every one thought 1t was an optical illusion brought on by constant gazing at the glaring whiteness. But 1t nov ed faster, and seemed to be coming to- wards the ship. Then they knew, and a shudder passed over the men as they realized that 1t was an avalanche from the glacier.
 "Oh, my God" cried the old man, 'I knew death was near, but this is terri ble, horrible"
 A panic seized the crowd. They ran hither and thither in utter madness. The great monument of death was nov ing slowly, but surely towards the ship. The engineer seemed paralyzed, and gazed with horror at the icy mass. The captain grasped him by the shoulder and yelled into his ear.
 "To your post man. and for Gods sake do your best"
 But some one was there before him, and just at that minute the great ship gave a leap forward. Then the race between life and death began. The ice berg was coming at a terrific pace, but the "Manetho" was speeding out of it's wake One breath of suspense-a great shock. tremendous swell, and the iceberg had passed, only grazing the stern.

THE HORSE AND MAN.
Animal Conquest Marked one of the Great Turning Points in the
 History of Civilization.

November Century.
 The conquest of the horse by man, and It's final utilization for all purposes which are discharged by steam and electricity today, marked one of the great turning points in the history of civilization. In the great earth and sand preglacial deposits of Europe the true wild horse Is as widespread, though not as varied. as in America. It is not at this stage associated with the remains of man, because no pre- glacial man except the pithecanthropus or Trinil man of Java has been found. In the interglacial or postglacial pc riod the remains of man and the horse are first found together. The first as- sociation occurred in the middle or pa leaolithic. or rough implement period. The discovery of all the possible uses of the horse came very gradually. how ever. for there is abundant proof that man first hunted and ate. then drove, and finally rode the animal.
 The prevailing drawings of the pal aeolithic horse represent him as hog maned. with no forelock to conceal the low bred Roman nose. A second type in the Mouthe cave, bearded horse with long bristling mane. long ears and convex forehead. is regarded by M. Riviere as another species But 1t Is not clear to my mind that these drawings represent more than the sum mer and winter coats of the same ami nal. Besides these Roman nosed types to which Ewart traces the modern cart horse, there are others with small hads and flat noses which Ewart as sociates with the Celtic pony and pos sibly with the origin of the thorough bred. Other cave drawings, reproduced by M Captain leave little doubt that the ass was known in Europe. It is also certain from abundant evidence in the caves of France that there was a larger horse toward the south perhaps. while smaller breeds may have ire quented the colder northern regions.

MAY TEST|F|FS He
INVESTED MONEY

The case of Emmett May came up
again at 10 O'Clock this morning the
defense having its innings today.
Dunno stated that he did not think
that II would be necessary to make
any opening statement to the jury, the
nature of the defense having been suf.
flciently outlined during the eXamina.
ton of the prosecutions testimony.
A little wrangle between Attorney
General Andrews and ]. ]. Dunno gave
little spice to the opening of the
case. Andrews asked that Mr. Madei.

Andrews. He protested against the
bushwhaching methods employed by
the Attorney General. He contcnded
that Madeiros was without the hear.
ing of the Court already.
Juror Andrade consented to act as
Interpreter.
Mrs. Silva was the first witness. AZ.
ter the time when the insurance pol.
icy money came Mrs. Bettincourt, dur.
ing conversation with her and Mr..
Madeiros at the house on Punchbowl
and Emma streets, said that she was
afraid that TheO. II. Davies & Co.
would get hold of the money and fur.
ther that May had been very kind 10
her to look after the money. She had
told May to invest the money in any
manner he pleased 10 protect her and
her children.
At this point the witness was TEN.
rorarily withdrawn to give Judge
Humphreys a chance TO testify. Hum.
phreys stated that he had known May
in Honolulu and had known of him In
Mississippi. Mays reputation for
truth, honesty and integrity was good.
He had never heard of any similar &C.
cusation being brought against him be.

Cashier Cooper of the First Nation.

On cross-eXamination by Andrews he
stated that Mays reputation had been
discussed in the bank by its officers
and directors.

several years. He Corroborated the

Honolulu Investment Co. The witness
and May were associated in this and
other companies. During the cross.eX.

were oyerruled exceptions were noted.

tincourt that on no consideration
would she refrain from telling the
truth.
Louis Madelros, the manager of the
Kalihi store, corroborated the testi.
mony OF Mrs. Silva.
At this point Emmett May himself
took the stand. He first met Mrs. Be-.
tincourt when she came to his Office
in 1900. She told him that her hus.
band had died leaving a policy III the
Germania Life Insurance Co. and
wanted TO know II she could get tho
money. May found that the policy
was made payable to the estate and
told her an administrator must be ap.
pointed. A few days later she and Du.
ira came to the office. Dutra told May
that Mrs. Bettincourt was afraid Of
the creditors and wanted the money
paid to her. May told him that he
could only pay the money to the ad,
ministrator of the estate. A few days
later they came and told May that Bet.
tincourts debts amounted to more
than the estate, which practically con.
sisted merely of the policy, was worth.
They said they thought they could
keep the policy secret from the credit.
ors Later on they said they had man.
aged to have Mrs. Bettincourt ap.
pointed administrator. After some
persuasion May went on her bond.
Dutra suggested that May, on &C.
count OF his kindness, be given the
money TO invest. Mrs. Bettincourt
agreed to this and May said he would
do so but did not want to take any
profits. During this Dutra and Mrs.

<<<<<<<<< y y \ ~ \ 4
Bettincourt had a conversation in Por.
tuguese or Spanish. after which Dutra
told May that 1T was all right and to
30 ahead and invest the money"
A month later the draft for the
money came and Mrs. Bettincourt en-.
dorsed II and turned 1t over. This was
on December II, 1900. Before this
Mrs. Bettincourt had called on May
for n private interview. She said she
did not want Dutra to know where ho
invested the money because she owed
him money and she was afraid Dutra
would try TO get II. At this time May
told Mrs. Bettincourt that he was
afraid of sugar stocks and proposed to
invest the money with several thou
sand of his own In the mill company
In which he was interested and which
he thought was a good investment.
Mrs. Bettincourt told him to do as he
pleased, as he knew best. The Pacific
Mill Co. was formed in December,
1900, and May invested Mrs. Bettir
courts money In II in the certain be
lief that he, according to her express
ed wishes, had a perfect right to do.
Some time after this Mrs. Bettir
court called on May to find out how
the investment was getting on. May
told her that the investment was not
coming out as well as he had expected
and mentioned litigation of the
mill company. He said that he was
sorry that this was so. May asked hei

but in spite of Mays request she new
er did so. May found out that the
bond had been cancelled. May told
Mrs. Bettincourt. who repeatedly call
ed on him, that he was doing the best
he could with her investment. He
showed her certificate OF her stock,
endorsed II and told her she could take
II. She looked at II but handed II back
to May and asked him to keep 1t IN
his safe. Later on May offered Mrs.
Bettlncourt to trade with her by Civ.
ing her some Kaimuki lots in exchange
for her stock but nothing came of this
matter, Mr.. Bettincourt stating that a
lot would do her no good since she had
no money with which to build q
house. He then offered her that she
could live in a house belonging to a
certain company in which he was in
terested. An agreement was drawn
up. Mrs. Bettincourt took the papers
but never brought them back.
At this point recess was taken up |
