Hyperboie,

A Rochester clergyman was accus-
toned to use scientific terms, which the.
people did not understand. A deputa=
ton waited on him with the request
that in the future whenever he used
such terms he would explain them. On
the following Sunday he used the term
hyperbole and added: "As agreed on
beg to explain this word. Were l to
say that at this moment the whole of
my congregation are sound asleep it
would be hyperbole, but if I say that
one-half are asleep that is no hyper
bole. but the truth" The next day the
deputation again called to say that the
minister need not explain technical
terms. The people would learn their
meaning from a Observation-Disclosures

FEARFUL
RaFdships Experienced By
Wrecked American Sailors
on Bleak Island
Finally Rescued By Light
house Grew When
Nearly Starved

sS@ New York, Sept. 25The story of
the wreck Of the American bark
Prussia on Bleak Staten island, Ter
%ra Del Fuego, the land Of fire, . is
a thrilling one. Six of the crew have
& been landed here by the steamer
frcm Montevideo. Four persisted
and three are in a hospital at Punta
Arenas. The Prussia was owned in
San Francisco and sailed from Nor
folk, Va, March II with cargo Of
coal for San Francisco. On the night
of June 10, which was stormy and
bitterly cold, while Capt. johnson
was trying to make the New Years
island light, the bark went ashore
and SOON broke up. Eleven of the
: thirteen men in the crew succeeded
in reaching a strip of sand sheltered
somewhat by overhanging rocks. All
B dawn it was discovered that ,Sabata
the Japanese cook, and Harry Ham
mond, a sailor, were missing. The
strip of sand was narrow and huge
cliffs barred any escape across the
island. Capt. johnson soon died oil
exposure and was buried in the sand
I The survivors had a few provisions
and subsisted on them. Meantime a
boat was laboriously built from the
Wreckage. But fear that the provi
sions would not last led two of the
mes, S. Porthin and Jos. Hosteth
trying to work across the mountains
to obtain help. Porthin crawled bach
a few days later with his hands ane
feet badly frozen. Hosteth, he re
ported had died from the cold. The
food gave out and the men lived or
shell fish. Eventually, after muc1
danger Mate John Hunter, Carpen
ter Carlstark and Seaman Heine
reached New Years island, in tn,
! frail boat, distance of 80 miles
Lieut.. Delgado. in charge at thu
lighthouse there, rescued the suffer
ing men on Staten island after muc1
peril and delay. They were kindl.
nursed at the lighthouse and then
taken to Punta Arenas. sts&+ rs s=

Bio Jumps by Rabbits.

How fast do hares and rabbits run?
Perhaps You have wondered while out
cunning and watched the elusive ami
mails speeding away. According to J.
G. Millais, the length of hare's stride
is about four feet, while that of rab-
bit is about two feet Under condi-
tions Of fear the hare is said to leap
ten to twelve feet, some authorities
claiming that it can jump bitches ten
to twenty-five feet in width. A hare
can jump upward perpendicularly five
feet Rabbits can make leaps of six or
seven feet horizontally, but cannot
jump higher than three feet. When
compelled to do SO, it is said, rabbits
can swim as well as dogs.-Philadel-

looked up to see who he was, knowing
from his manners that he was IA

nobody.
He had been there perhaps five min

Stand Monday.
(py Associated press.l

BOISE, IDAHO, July 5.-1he be-
ginning of the end of the trial of
William ID. Haywood. ON charge of
numbering Frank Steunenberg, was
reached today. Counsel for the de
tense announced that with the cxccp
ton of three or four witnesses. their
case in direct is before the jury
Charles IL. Meyer, accused president
of the Western Federation of Miners
will be called as a witness OH Mon
day, to which time the court today
adjourned.
Meyer will be followed by Hay
wood. the defendant.
Judge Fremont Wood has advised
counsel that he ill consider their re-
quests and confer with counsel as to
what his instructions shall be in or
der that the arguments on. both
sides may be limited to what will be
allowed to consider rs evidence.
1t is now expected that the rebutS
tai evidence in behalf OF the state Will
begin on Wednesday, much depend
ing on the extent of the cross cXami-
nation of Meyer and Haywood.
Jurymen Uneasy.
Some uncasiness OH the part of the
iurymcn, as result of their long
confinement. developed today, when
Juror s. +. Russell asked the judge if
the jury would be allowed to eXer-
else during the two days adjourn
ment. He complained that some
members of the jury were disinclmed
to take walks and that for this rea
son the other jurors were unable to
take exercise to which they were ac-
customed and without which there
was danger of sickness. o. V. Seborn
addressed the judge in support of this
statement.
Judge Wood and counsel for both
sides agreed to arrange anything
within the law for the Improvement
of conditions. A. p. Burns COM
planned that the bailiffs in charge OF
the jury were to strict and that a
juryman who exceeded some trivial
rule was summarly called to order
bailifrs and said laughingly: well
i don't know about being too strict.
u know | never had better time in
my life"
The announcement was received
with roars of merriment and Judge
Wood, who seldom joins in any
demonstration, leaned back in his
chair and laughed heartily.
The five witnesses en- the stand
today were called to testify concern
ing conditions existing in Colora %
during the disturbances ut Cripple
Creek, to show that there was no
reason to call out the militia.
