PLEA FOR AID
IN A BOTTLE
Message Discovered on Long
Beach Tells of Man and
Son MarOOned ON Island
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. Midway be-
tween Long Beach and San Pedro. this
afternoon, c. H. Goodwin of the former
city picked up a bottle which was
floating in the surf near the beach. 1t
contained message which is either
an appeal for help from man. who
by this time may be starving. or a
hoax. Whatever it may be it will be
investigated. The message reads:
JANUARY 90. 1sc5.-To whoever picks up
Nicolas Island. We came here in small
boat; she has gone adrift. JOE TODD
rue. is the address of my mother. My son is
with me- We are all well and have food for
week If no help comes.
The message was taken to Long
Beach and turned over to the authori-
ties, who communicated with the ad-
dress given therein, but no reply has
been received. Whether a vessel will
be sent to investigate the truth of the
message is not known. but if 1t is
learned from San Francisco that a man
and his son are missing and that the
correct address has been given there.
a schooner will be sent to the island at
once.
San Nicolas Island is a bleak and

southwest of San Pedro. 1t is seldom
visited except by abalone fishermen or
exploring parties, who go there to- dig
for relics of the race which once in
habited the place. A fine collection of
these relics was secured there last sum-
mer for the Smithsonian Institution.
So frequently have similar messages
in bottles been picked up along the
southern coast during the past several
years, which upon investigation have
proved to be canards, that the Long
Beach authorities are hesitating about
making the long trip to the island be-
fore they hear from the San Francisco
address.
Some confirmation is given to the
message, however, by the fact that a
week ago a small boat which has not
yet been claimed washed ashore near

BIRTHDAY OF /:
ARCHBISHOP RYAN

Ryan was removed from st. Louis to
Philadelphia as successor Of the late
Archbishop Wood.
The archbishop enjoys splendid
health and spirits and continues. to
give his personal attention to all
the details of his high Office. He is
an early riser. The first duty of
the day is the celebration Of mass.
which usually takes place in the little
chapel adjoining the cathedral. The
first few hours are set aside for the
reception of priests and pastors. Two
hours following this are accorded to
general visitors. Dinner as rule
is served at 1 o'clock. If the weather
is fine in the afternoon. the prelate
generally takes a long walk. spell
of, illness has prevented this recrea-
ton this winter, but with the return
of spring the archbishop hopes to
resume his habit of many years
standing.
Although a great orator, Archbish-
op Ryan has put very few of his
thoughts in book form. There is one,
however, reproduction of a lecture
on What Catholics Do Not Believe"
This was delivered in st. Louis many
years ago and has had a large sale
in this country and Europe.

Hills Inside Germ.

Liquozone Is not made by CON-
pounding drugs, nor is there alcohol
in 1t. It's virtues are derived solely
from gas-largely oxygen gas-by a
process requiring immense apparatus
and IA days time. This process has.
for more than 20 years, been the con-
slant subject of scientific and chemi-

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-Arch-
bishop Ryan entered his seventy-fifth
year today. In accordance with the
expressed wish of the archbishop
there was no public demonstration,
but all day long congratulations in
person or by messenger deluged the
beloved head Of the Pennsylvania
diocese.
Few persons, outside Of those in
clerical circles, are aware of Arch
bishop Ryans age, as he is hale and
hearty and has not a gray hair in his
head. He was born in 1881. near
Thurles, Tipperary county, Ireland,
and attended private school at Dub
line until 16 years old. He then en-
tered Carlow college, where he re-
ceived his ecclesiastical training and
was ordained subdeacon. In 1852 he
left Ireland for America and became
connected with the archdiocese of ST.
Louis. At the age of Fl he was ap-
pointed professor of English liter
ature at the Carondolet (Mo) semi
nary and ordained deacon with the
privilege of preaching in the St.
Louis cathedral.
On September 8, 1858, he was or
dained priest and made assistant pas
tor of the cathedral, which position
he filled until 1856. when he became
its restor. In 1860 he was trans
ferred to the Annunciation church,
st. Louis, where he remained for IL
years, acting also during the civil
war as chaplain of military hospital
and prison. He was consecrated CO.
adjutor bishop of ST. Louis in 1872,
and while visiting Rome in 1884 was
given the honorary title of arch
bishop of Salamina by Pope Leo
XIII. On June 8, 1884, Archbishop
