SCARE ON THE MAJESTIC
FOUR OILERS SCALDED.
Starboard Engine Disabled By Ac-
cident at Sea.

serious accident board the White Star
liner Majestic which resulted in the severe
scaiding of four men. the smashing of the star
board engine and a bad fright to the passengers
occurred at last Tuesday. The steamer,
which invariably had been on time. crawled into
port yesterday at reduced speed, nearly two
days overdue.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, when the
passengers were walking about the deck, ter
rife explosion was heard. This was followed
by trembling of the whole ship Those passen-
gers who were at breakfast instantly rushed to
the deck.
Following the ponderous vibration a great
volume OF escaping steam roared UP through the
ventiators The startled passengers were
quieted and sought shelter forward. When the
steamer stopped entirely the passengers became
alarmed again. fearing that the ship was
settling.
The accident was caused by the breaking Of
a crank pin on the starboard engine. The re-
leased piece of machinery crashed down on the
head OF the intermediate cylinder. smashing It
into bits. Steam pervaded the engine ROOM and
the pounding and racbing of the wrecked ma
ohinery continued until the steam shut off.
Those in the engine room who knew where
the throttle was were unabl. to get to ii, be-
cause OF the hot and binding steam. Some Of
the crew who were watch rushed for the
deck IhoSe VINO We're Scalded barely man
aged 10 crawl away. Engineer Jones. who was
in charge Of the watch finally reached the
throttle and shut off the steam.
Passengers who were on deck when the acci-
dent occurred said that the seaman was on
the deckhouse near the open ventilators of the
engine room. When he heard the first explosion
he jumped to the deck distance of ten feet
and ran out of the way. Instantly the spot to
which the seaman had jumped was flooded with
steam and hot water. An examination of the
starboard engine showed that it could not be re-
paired at sea, and the liner proceeded TO port
under the power of her port engine
It was sale by some of the passengers that
the terrific Jar which accompanied the explosion
broke the bedplata on which the engine rested
John Lee, manager of the line. said that the
plate was not injured. and that the Majestic
would be repaired before leaving port
If the bedplate is injured the accident Will
make necessary the tearing out of the starboard
engine An official of the line said that the
Majestic would go back to England under one
engine and have the repairs made there.
The injured men. who were oilers were Will
lam Hughes William Anderson. George Baker
and John Redding. Their condition was said
yesterday TO be serious. but not dangerous. The
passengers raised a purse of S14O for he in
jured men.
The Majestic was built by Harland & Wolff,
at Belfast in 1880 She is 565.S feet over all
and has a beam OF SIS feet. She is twin screw.
and her draught is 39.3 feet.

There are gems and gold in Ethi-
opia, writes Robert P. Skinner, in the
Worlds Work. The gems we saw
were found scattered over the desert
waste, washed down from the noun
tains above. Gold is hidden away in
the mountains in quantities which can
be estimated by no existing data. Even
now the annual production of gold by
methods as old as Moses amounts prob
ably to $500, 900. AS for copper, iron
and the ordinary metals, their extrac-
ton is merely question of finding IA
cilities for shipment and, probably
more important still, market capable
of absorbing them. Petroleum has been
discovered in large quantities. but the
emperor is currently believed to re-
gard as the most important of Abyssin-
ian activities the cultivation of his
fertile tableland.

The oPEN-AIR TREATMENT.
Patient Who Is Exposed Continuously
to Fresh Air Makes Rapid
Gain.

The advantages Of the open-aid treat
ment for consumptiyes may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains in
appetite. assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air is the
best antipyretic, says DR.. H. W. G.
Mackenzie, in the London Lancet.
Sweating at night, formerly so common
a symptom, usually ceases. Colds are
practically unknown among patients
leading an open-air life. Secondary
infection, on account Of the compara-
tive freedom of the air from micro-or-
ganisms, is much less likely to occur.
Tolerance Of outside air is very quickly
established, and no one who has tried
the open-air life will willingly go back
to the former conditions of STIFFNESS.
have never seen anyone made worse
by exposure to fresh air. Even during
a thick London fog patients get on better
lying in bed on balcony or in rooms
with windows wide open and good fire
burning than when attempts are made
to shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.
