cd that Thomas F. Noanz, who, with
his. wife, was arrested a few days
ago for high-grading, has made a con-

STEAMER COLUMBIA SINKS:
liz PEOPLE ARE DROWNED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-Few
details in addition to the one already
received have been gwen out regard
ing the sinking of the passenger
steamer Columbia, but it is believed
that the loss Will be greater than at
first announced. Steamers are re.
turning from the scene of the catas.
trophe and state that the Columb.a a
will probably be total loss. No new
bodies were recovered today at the
scene Of the wreck and the survivors
are being cared for in this city and
Eureka. One hundred anu seven OF
the passengers and thirty seven mem
bers Of the crew of the Inflated vessel
are beng cared for in Eureka, Cal.
although it is thought that a number
of them will succumb from the expos
ure theywere subjected to while
floating around in the open sea on
the Life RATS. Most of the survivors
were attired only i'll their night robes
and the wind that sprang up shortly
after the vessels came together made
the suffering of those who were fight
ing for their lives beyond descript on.
Placing the Blame
O. Swanson. a sailor on the San
Pedro. was at the wheel Saturday
night when the fatal coll sion occur
red. In his response to Sailors Agent
John Erickson the blame is laid upon
the shoulders of the officers of the
Columbia. Other members of the
crew Of the San Pedro substantiate
the story Of Swanson.
He says that order was not given
to him when the lookout sighted the
Columbia to put the wheel hard aport,
Three points aport carried the San
Pedro seaward apparently out Of the
way OF the approaching vessel, whose
name at that time was not known.
Short tootS Of the whistles of both
vessels warned the shippers. The Co
lumbia was on the coast side, the San
Pedro on the sea side. Apparently
both vessels were proceeding at full
speed.
Ii all had gone well the San Pedro
would have cleared the Columbia, but
it is evident that an order put the
wheel hard a-starboard" was given
! on the Columbia. This sent her di
rectly across the bow of the steam
| schooner. Whether or not the speed
of either vessel was slackened is i'm
material. for the crash OF the vessels
was terrific.

Three LAYERS Of AtnnospEers.

81 1t appears that in the atmosphere
there are three distinct currents Of
air, the & first lying at an elevation
OF from 800 to i 500 meters, the second
at from 2, 800 to 4, 900 meters and the
upper one at from 6,000 to 5000 me-
tiers above the surface Of the earth.
These are to an extent separate cur
rents, flowing each with Its own We.
locity AT the bottom of each Of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top Of each Of the layers
occur the cumulus clouds. This sug-
gests that the stratus originate at the
bottom Of a moving current and the
cumulus at the top. It Is probab bic,
then, that the stratus owe their origin
to the difference in velocity and tenn
perature of the two layers. while the
cumulus are formed by ascending cur
rents within the layer Of air.

Hard 10 Photograph.

There is said to be no portrait more
difficult to make by photography than.
that of a colored person or baby.
The dark skin Of the former reflects no
light, and the Iineaments are therefore
only indistinctly shown on photo
graphic plate. A baby, on the other
hand, is restless, with changeable ex-
preston and uncertain pose. The pre-
dicament OF q Germantown amateur
may therefore be imagined when he
was asked to take the picture Of a
baby, aged four months, in the arms of
It's colored nurse, black as she could
be. Several attempts resulted In a
successful picture of the baby, but the
result was dispensing to the nurse.
An exposure long enough to secure the
features OF the nurse resulted Ia decid-
ed twists and turns on the baby,s part
that upset the 1atter's pictorial aspect
to a noticeable degree. Just now the
amateur is figuring on how to set out
OF 1t and hoping that fate win help
him by separating the nurse and child
long enough to make IT possible to
please all concerned. Philadelphia
