Fear Clash With Japs.

BREsT, July 23.-The japanese
squadron is expected to reach this
port to- night. This delay in ar.
irving is generally attributed here
to the desire Of the japanese com.
mander to make as short as posi-
BILE the time that the American and
japanese warships will be together
in the harbor, in order to reduce
the chances of any untoward Incl.
dent between the sailormen.
The sailors from the American
cruisers Washington and 'Tennes-
see, now here, seem to hold a
grudge against the japanese on
account Of fancied grievance at
the jamestown exposition. and
there has been some threatening
talk in the cafes frequented by the
American blue jackets.
Rear Admiral Charles &. Stock
ton. in command of the American
vessels, has decided to grant no
shore leave after the japanese ar
rive.
The American officers are pre-
pairing to treat the Japanese visi-
tors with great cordiality. They
will be shown every courtesy and
entertained at dinner on board the
American flagship.

100 Lives Lost In A Collision.


One hundred persons are believ-
ed to have been drowned when the
steamer Columbia was sunk by col
lision with the lumber steamship
San Pedro, off Shelter Cove, north
ern Pacific Coast.
About an equal number of pas
sengers from the Columbia escaped
death by getting aboard the San
Pedro.
The accident occurred in a heavy
fog, and the Columbia went down
in very few minutes after she
was struck with terrific force ON
the pert bow by the San Pedro
The disaster is believed to have
been one of the most disastrous OF
the Pacific coast. The doomed
passengers were caught like rats,
and had no chance Of escape. Capt
A. P. Doran is reported to have
gone down with the snip.
The wreck occurred about IL
o'clock Saturday night, July 2Oth.
The San Pedro was badly
damaged, but was kept afloat, and
her passengers, as we'll as those
who boarded her from the Column
bia, were taken off by the steam.
ship George w. Elder. The vessel
is now being towed into Eureka.
The scenes aboard the Columbia,
as told in reports reaching here,
we're terrible. Husbands and wives
were parted. and many who clam
bered aboard the San Pedro saw
their loved ones swallowed up as
the Columbia went down. Cases
of rare heroism are reported. 1t is
said that in some cases where wives
could not escape they preferred to
die with their husbands, refusing
to leave the ship. The time for
escape was so short that there was
little chance for argument, and on
" those who were on deck and
jumped without hesitation were
saved.

A Curious Tomb.

The most curious tomb in England is
that of Lady Anne GrimstOn, daughter
of the Earl Of Thanet, who died nearly
two centuries ago and was buried In
Tewin churchyard. Upon her deathbed
she disregarded the efforts Of those
who sought to administer spiritual
comfort An atheist she had lived, an
atheist she would die. 1T Is as likely
that should rise again from the dead"
she said, las that tree should grow
out of the middle of my coffin" A
tree has grown out of the middle of her
coffin-an oakland by its side a syca-
more. The vault Is square, of brick
and granite. The two trees first filled
the interior before they could find a
way out. When they did burst through
the masonry they SO spread as CON-
pletely to envelop the grave.

The Crested Rat.

The crested rat Of East Africa Is re-
markable, first because Of the great
length of the black and white hairs
down the ridge of the back, which are
rendered the more conspicuous because
the hairs along the sides Of the body
are so short and so differently colored,
being brownish. gray and looking for
all the world as If some one had taken
pair Of scissors and maliciously shorn
off. the decorative hair, leaving only a
dun underfur. Secondly, 1t is remark
able because the skull has a roofing Of
bones exactly resembling that of some
turtles, while, furthermore. this roof
has a graduated appearance recalling
that presented by the skulls Of certain
fishes. In its habits 1t appears to be
arboreal while from the structure Of Its
teeth 1t would appear to be at least
partly insectivorous.'"

A Few Corrections.


A few things picked up from child's
schoolbook: Never say, II don't think
1t will rain" What you mean Is, Il do
think it will not rain" "All over the
world" is bad; say "Over all the world"
"The reason why" is not only incorrect
but doesn't sound as we'll as 1.-The rea-
son that" In the King James version
of the Bible, quoted by some authorl-
ties as standard of pure English, one
may find the following, which occurs
in Isaiah xxxvii, SO: '"Then the angel of
the Lord went forth and smote In the
camp Of the Assyrlans hundred and
fourscore and FIVE thousand, and when
they arose early in the morning, be-
hold they were all dead corpses." In
other words, the corpses arose early In
the morning and found themselves
dead. Don't say "a man fell off the
dock" A man might fall into dock,
but to say that he fell Off dock Is no
better than to say he fell of hole.

All substances, even eggs, are poison
GUS when they are injected In certain
quantities into the circulatorys system
of an animal. A French investigator
has taken the powdered yolk Of a

In order to kill rabbit fifty.fve grains
