Sudden squall capsizes Their sloop
Roxana and Five Ladies Lost Lives
Before the Captain Gould Slack Away
His Sheet the Boat Was Bottom Up
Tugs Quick to the Rescue.

New York, July 19.-Sixteen persons,
five of them women, were drowned
Sunday in the waters in the vicinity
of New York. Ten persons persisted
after the capsizing of the excursion
sloop Roxana, carrying 22 passengers.
Six were victims of swimming acct
dents.
Captain Samuelson of the Roxana
and the ~ survivors were picked up
under great difficulties in a rough
and choppy sea, by the tug Lamont.
The Roxana was chartered at Ulmer
beach, Brooklyn, by party of Swedes
from Brooklyn, for sail across the
bay to Midland beach, Staten island,
and back. The trip over was made
without mishap and all hands went
ashore to make merry. Beer was
served and some survivors could give
but hazy account of the accident.
All afternoon there was a stiff
breeze from the southwest, which left
a heavy cross-sea. Toward o'clock
the Roxana slipped into a squat and
before the captain could slack away
his sheet the boat was bottom up and
the water was black with bobbing
heads. Soon the Roxana vanished and
the struggling passengers began to
follow her. Fortunately, the tug La
mont kept sharp lookout. Captain
Register saw the sloop turn over. In
stantly he headed for the spot, but be-
fore he could reach the Roxana three
more passengers had gone down. Life
lines and buoys were thrown to those
still afoat and after few minutes of
brisk work all in sight were rescued.

Alfalfa Plnntinr.


1t should not be forgotten that the
spring is the proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that is to be planted
next fall. The ground which Is ex-
pected to be used for this crop should
not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
the ground will not be kept free OF
weeds and grass The best prepare
tory crop for alfalfa Is COW peas; then
after the vines are removed or plowed
under the ground should be well
broken and kept clean of weeds and
grass by surface cultivation until 1t
Is seeded In alfalfa the following fall.
Peanuts may be grown instead OF COW
peas, II the crop is considered more
desirable, as It is perhaps, but they
must be kept well cultivated and es-
pecially allow no earth grass to grow

ThS Onco Dospised CanAeIiIla Now

The discovery by Oscar Pacius Of
Monterey Of q process for extracting
wax from the candelilla weed is caus.
ing the establishment OF new indus
try in Mexico and Texas The can
delilla grows abundantly upon many
millions Of acres of semi-arid land In
Northern Mexico and parts of Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico. Land owners
who have this formerly despised weed
growing upon their holdings are now
In fair way to reap fortune, a Mon.
terey tMexico) correspondent Of the
New York Sun says.
When 1t was discovered q few years
ago that a good grade of crude rub
Der could be manufactured from the
guayule shrub experiments began to
be made by Mr.. Pacius and others with
various other kinds of wild vegetation
to learn If they possessed commercial
properties, Mr.. Pacius found that the
candelilla contained wax to the amount
OF S1a to AZ per cent He gathered
supply Of the plants and began ex-
periments with view Of arriving at
process Of economical extraction OF
the wax. He perfected this process a
few months ago and It is now in prac.
teal operation.
The manufacture of this vegetable
wax Is already on paying commercial
basis. The demand for the product
comes at this time chiefly from Ger.
many. The present price Of the wax
in Mexico is $500 gold a ton. 1t Is
said that 1t takes about thirty tons of
the weed to make one ton of the crude
wax. The cost of producing q ton of
wax is $75 gold.
The land upon which the candelilla
weed grows profusely is producing {
big revenue in the localities where
factories have been established. It ID
said that where land Is we'll set in the
plant 1t can be made to yield a profit
OF 5000 to $500 gold an acre a year.
The candelilla wax is said to be
harder than any other wax. This fact
has caused 1t to be in demand for the
manufacture of photograph records,
pharmaceutical articles, varnishes
shoe, leather and wood polishes, insula,
ton in electrical wiring, gums, candles
and many other things.
The fact that the guayule shrub and
the candelilla plant are now known ia
contain valuable commercial properties
has aroused the interest Of the federal
authorities Of Mexico and it is said
that series of chemical experiments
and tests of the various other desert
plants which cover great stretches oil
land in Northern Mexico will be made
under the direction Of the government
with n view Of discovering any com
merclal properties that they may con
tain. One plant which grows profuse
ly along the Rio Grande is called
gubernador and is being used extern
sively for the manufacture of boiler
compound. There are also two or three
kinds Of shrubs and weeds which pos
sess cleansing properties almost iden
tical in effect with washing soap. Thu
roots Of these shrubs are used by the
native Mexicans to the exclusion Of
manufactured soap.

Raising Pigs.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the SOW. She
has a strong digestion and can turn
coarse grains and pasture into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a pound Of weight taken
from the SOW will make more than /
pound of gain on the pigs, the flesh
Of the young animals containing more
water. The SOW should be fed to pro-
duce q high milk yield. and the pigs
should be kept with her until they get
to eating a full feed of grain and pas
ture.
