Former Pine Bluff Girl.

The many friends of Mrs. Clifton w. Gray who was Miss Agnes Har- r son, Of this city will be glad to hear of her recent success in the Little Rock music festival. The following notice is from the Little Rock Gazette: :
 "One of the most pronounced hits of the evening came next in the piano solo numbers by Mrs. Clifton w. Gray. The opening number was the famous Fire Music,' from Wagner's Die Wal kure,' in which the suggestion of cracking of spurt of fire, the roar as , he conflagration increases and the final farewells of the peasants were adequately portrayed. Tn difficult runs in the Fire Music and in Raff s
 La F'ileuse' were faultlessly exc. outed, as were the wonderful alle> gro passages in Chopin's ''Ballade in A. Many professional concert solo, lsts lack the finished technique of Mrs. Gray and would be pleased to possess her exquisite touch and pow e@s of correct interpre' ation of the works of the masters. The audience was insistent fer an encore number, but Mrs Gray was content to bow her acknowledgements.

M tkINc BEADS
 OF ROSE PETALS"

Excerpt from an article by Annie NJ. ScotD.
 There is an art crowned with the halo of tradition and lcgnd that having fallen into disusc and almost oblivion, is being revived today with enthusiasm. 1t is the art of mak ing jet black heads from rose petals. Many string of these odd and beau tiful beads have recently been nodded by skilfnl fingers. and many roses imprisoned in thesc beads will pro ject their fragrance into the years to come Several hundred years ago in the South of France there lived fnme factory where altar of roses was distilled. Passing by the factory one day this observing woman stop ped and looked long at the mass of apparently worthless but odorus pulp that had been discarded in the manu- facture of perfume. This thrifty and resourceful sister took quantity of the pulp to the convent and began experimenting with it, in the hope that she might be able to transform this waste into something. The derl- yation of the word rosary is doubtful. It is uncertain whether it came from St. Rosalias wreath of roses so fam ous in sacred art; whether 1t was invented by the early monks who made their rosares from rose wood or whether it came into use when the nuns made their beads from rose petals.
 This art of making beads from rose petals travelled from France to Spain and thence to our country by the ear ly Spanish monks and nuns.
 There are extant in the missions of California rosaries still fragrant with the blossoms of a hundred years. It is this land of sunshine and roses that has given the impetus to the revival of the art.
 The process used today is precisely the same as that employed by the early French nuns, but modern in ventions make the task a simpler one.
 These beads with their cOnceE- trated odor of rose's crea'te a per fume more natural and more effec- tive than any manufactured product. The wearer of such a string may be detected by the delicate fragrance of roses tha. envelops her; and when she lays these beads away among her things the fragrance permeates her belongings.
 These beads may be bought at the jewellers or curio shops m California for ten dollars for the short strings, while the long strings bring as much as twenty five dollars. ;

New Feature in shlps.

The tunnel in the Titanic was a new
feature in shipbuilding. 1t was de-
signed so that firemen in changing
shifts could reach the fire room or
their bedrooms without climbing over
the deck.
Whatever may be said, the Titanic
was the acme of perfection in present
plans for shipbuilding. 1t is no fault
of the builders that the Titanic sunk,
if she struck the iceberg side on. 1t
would simply mean that the one weak.
est point in vessels makeup, which
naval architects have been striving
unsuccessfully for years to strength
en-, have not yet been strengthened.
This is a problem for science to work
on in the future.
OF course in shipbuilding it is not
anticipated that a vessel will strike
with its side. Experience has demon
strated that most collisions are
head-on.

Brief and Confusing.

The regulations prescribed by the
merchant shipping act for safeguard
ing human life aboard British ships
are brief and confusing Their chief
points are:
1.-Lifeboats shall be placed under
the davits and be ready for use at all
times.
2-Masters or owners carrying few
CT than the prescribed number of
life-boats must declare at the time of
clearance that the boats being carried
are actually sufficient to accommodate
all persons on board, allowing ten
cubic feet for each adult person.
3.-If the lifeboats under the davits,
in accordance with the table, do not
furnish sufficient accommodation for
all persons on board, then additional
wood, metal or collapsable or other
boats of approved description must he
carried, or approved life RATS. They
must contain a greater total capacity
than the required number of lifeboats.
4, In addition to the life saving cp-
pliances ships shall carry not less than
one approved life buoy placed under
each davit, approved lifebelts or other
similar articles of approved buoyancy
suitable for being worn on the person,
so that there may be at least one for
each person.

Fake Wireless Messages.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Standard
prints this morning the following I'M
der "A Mystery of News. Who Sent
the Wireless Falsehoods?"
"One of the mysteries which at
present is unsolved is the extraordii-
airy series of false messages with
which the world was IulIed into fan
cied security Monday.
For sixteen hours, until o'clock
yesterday morning, right through the
editions of the evening papers and
earlier editions of the morning, a
flood of alleged wireless messages
were received, They reported that
all passengers had been saved, The
leading newspapers and the public of
two continents were misled until the
last moment. The public will want to
know why and how this deception
was carried out"
This would seem to indicate a be-
lief in the unreliability of wireless
companies, but the Times attributes
the fakes to amateurs. The Times
says;
Stories about the ship heading for
shore under its own steam or being
towed by other steamers, either to a
harbor or shoal water, cannot posi-
bly, come from any of the ships con-
cerned. They must have been pure
inventions, inventions of a cruel,
heartless kind.
"The receipt of authentic informal
ton by wireless telegraphy has been
seriously interfered with by the oper-
ations of amateurs who have filled the
air with irrelevant messages. If the
community is to derive full benefit
from wireless telegraphy, civilized
nations will have to combine to pull
down these amateur operators"

TItanIc,s Crew Short.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-"Not a

bN pointing TO the ordinary metal wa
ter trough seen on our streets and
county roads
Partitions from Side to Side.
TO bulkhead the water trough Il
would only be necessary to build four
or five partitions across the interior
of the trough from side to side. AS.
sumo these partitions to be two feet
epart and the trough to be ten feet
long.
Place the trough in a lagoon and
like a boat it would float Bore a hoe
in the first compartment and the wa
ter would be admitted but the
trough would not sink.
The first compartment would fill
with water, if the hole was of suffl-
cient size, but the trough would float.
A hole might be bored in the second
compartment and the trough would
continue to float.
But tear strip out OF the side or
bottom of the trough for the entire
length of the trough and the bulk
heads would be rendered useless, for
each bulkhead would fill Simultaneous
ly and sinking would occur
Assume that the water trough was
the Titanic; that an iceberg scraped
along the side of the vessel and tore
its plates off for more than three
Quarters of the length of the vessel
Each bullkhead would fill stimuli
taneously and the vessel would sink
sidewise Blow Is Dangerous.
A sidewise collision with an iceberg
Of great size by a vessel of $4,000 tons
would be as fatal as a sidewise col
lision with rock. The impact would
he great with the vessel proceeding
at q knots an hour, SO great in fact
that the process Of tearing off plates
Tculd be as easily accomplished as il
the scaling of a fish with caselnife.
Even wooden wharves have been
known to tear gigantic holes In the
sides of vessels in times of a sidewise
collision.
A head-on collision is by no means
dangerous under the present system
Cf shipbuilding. Naval architects have
perfected bulkheading so that even
though a large vessel may crash INTO
an object at full speed, the bow
would be telescoped and perhaps three
or four bulkheads filled with water,
but the steamer would float"
Ports May Have Been Open.
While there is not sufficient infor-
nation to form a definite opinion as
to why or how the Titanic sunk, the
fact that the vessel foundered three
hours and fifty-fve minutes, as re-
ported, after striking the iceberg,
would seem to- warrant the above con-
clusion. Other theories of course
could be advanced, but in the absence
of any facts connected with the foun.
dering further than that the vessel
struck an iceberg, it is hardly neces-
sary to cast about at this time for any
other theory for the laundering.
Regarding other openings through
which water might enter unchanged
compartments if weather were calm,
it is possible that some of the air
ports may have been open.
1T is also known to be fact that
a tunnel led from the fireroom for
ward to the crews quarters, along the
very bottom of the steamer. If the
openings in this passage were open
water might possibly be admitted to
one or more of the forward ffrerooms
before the water-tight doors could be
closed.

Lumps All High Tonnage.

The most astounding feature of
these regulations is found in the table
referred to in paragraph No. above.
This table prescribes the exact mum.
Der of lifeboats to be carried by Brit
ish ships of various tonnage. It
starts with ships of 10000 tonnage
and upward" Vessels of this capacity
are required, according to this table,
to carry sixteen lifeboats under dav-
its, the boats to have a total cubic
foot content of $500. The table then
goes down the scale to the lowest ton
mage boat. For example, ships of
5000 tons capacity and upward must
carry fourteen lifeboats, with a total
cubic foot area of $500. Nowhere in
the table is there mention of a ship
of the Titanic type, whose tonnage
capacity was $4,000
1t is significant that the only pho
tographs of the Titanic published in
the United States have shown eight
lifeboats on each side suspended from
davits. This number exactly com
plies with the number prescribed in
the regulations in the British consul
generals office here for ships of
10000 tonnage and up"
