off Commercial wharf, at the foot of H street. The warship had received orders from the navy department at Washington to sail this morning for Port Hartford, where she was to mee- the monitor Wyoming and convoy the vessel to Mare Island navy yard. Steam was up and everything was in readiness for sailing when suddenly, and without any warning whatever the starbOard forward boiler exploded with deafening roar. The explosion was terrific. People standing on the shore saw Q huge cloud of white steam rise above the Bennington. Columns of water were hurled into the air and for a distance nearly twice the height of the spaTs.
 It was immediately apparent that an awful disaster of some kind haG happened on board the warship. The ferryboat Ramona was coming across the bay at the time of the accident Captain Bertelsen, of the Ramona immediately gave orders to change the course of the boat, and instead of continuing his trip to the San Diego side of the bay he hurried to the aid of the stricken warship. The tug Santa Fe, which was tied up at Com mercial wharf, the launch Mckinley. the government launch General De Russey and a large number of other launches and water craft which were near the scene at the time also rushed to the assistance of the Pennington and endeavOred to lend every assist ance possible.
 By the time the Ramona had arriv- ed many of the sailors of the Bennfng- who had jumped into the bay to escape the scalding steam, had been rescued and the removal of the wounded which already had been commenced was be- ing conducted in perfect order. The crews of the Santa Fe, the DeRussey and the Mckinley and other boats present lent yeomen aid in picking up the wounded sailors and transferring them to the shore At the time of the accident Commander Lucien Young and Surgeon F. A. Peck were on shore. The two officers. as soon as they learned of the disaster, hurried to the water front. where Commander Young imm ediately took charge.
 THE SHIPS HORRIBLE WOUNDED
 On board the Bennington were pre- scented terrible scenes. The force Of the explosion had torn a great hole in the starboard side of the ship and the vessel had already commenced to list. A section of the upper deck was carried away from stem to stern. Blood and wreckage were distributed over the entire ship, the after cabin and the vicinity of the ship adjacent to the exploded boiler resembling a charnel house. Over it all hung the great cloud of white smoke, which drifted slowly toward the Coronado shore. The news of the explosion spread over the city like wild-ffre. At first some of the reports were that over half the crew had been killed This was later modified, the rumor having it that the dead would reach at least seventy

Walter Aylette. For the first time in her

that she was not happy. She confessed

There was no announcement of the en-

All that night she was uneasy. She
felt that she had made a mistake, and
she read and reread the first three let
ters before she fell asleep, happy and
treasured. The thought came to her that
perhaps she loved the letters and not
the man, but she did not believe that art
could infuse such feeling into written
words.
The next morning Molly came down to
breakfast late. She looked a little a

LEATHER MADE FROM PLANT
A Vegetable Product of Japan That
Is in Demand for This
Country.

The department of agriculture Is
trying to introduce into cultivation in
this country a plant native TO Japan,
which furnishes a sort of vegetable
leather. 1t is a pretty shrub called
the 'mitsumata," and its inner bark,
after going through a process of
maceration, is converted into a sub
stance as tough as French kid, so
translucent that One can almost see
through it, and as pllable and soft as
calfskin. In Japan Jipe cases and to-
baccO pouches are manufactured from
the material, as we'll as a kind of wall
paper which is alree dy becoming fash
lonable in America. Such wall pa
pers of vegetable leather are turned
out in beautiful designs for wall and
ceiling decoration, being stamped and
modelled by hand in most artistic pat
terms.
1t would seem that we have a good
deal to learn from the Japanese about
paper making. Already we import
Large quantities of another kind of pa
per obtained from the same plant, for
use as legal documents, diplomas,
deeds and bonds. There are at least
eight other plants from which the sub
jects of the mikado obtain paper stuff,
while we depend for such material
Upon wood pulp and rags of cotton and
linen.
Mr.. David G.. Fairchild, one of the
government agricultural explorers,
who has made a special study Of this
subject, says that it is not pleasant
10 think that the brilliant white note
paper which a lady uses may have in
il part of the filthy garment of some
Egyptian fellah, saved by a ragpicker
from a gutter, yet it is a fact that
hundreds of tons of Egyptian rags are
fetched every year to the United
States to supply u paper mills. At
Mannheim on the Rhine the American
importers have r~agpicking houses,
where rags are collected from all over
Europe (the disease infected Levant
not excepted), and where women and
children work with wet sponges tied
over their mouths, sorting the filthy
scraps for shipment to New York. Our
best papers are made of these rags.
Paper made from the inner bark OF
gIants, like the "mitsumata," are D
creation of the orient. They are soft
er. siiKier, tougher and lighter than
our papers. If wet they lose their
strength. like tissue paper, but on dry
ing regain it. They are usually abb
sorbent, and for this reason were high
" valued for surgical purposes.
