SLEEP PRODUCED BY PALM
Golden Gate Park Has Great Flor
al Curiosity.

San Francisco specimen of the
rare sleeping" palm has been found
in Golden Gate park, probably the
only one in the United States. Cura-
tor Barron, of the park museum, dis
covered it as he was walking in the
park with his young son. The tree,
which was brought to this country 40
years ago by a famous Australian
botanist, William Robinson, gives
out peculiar aromatic odor. Barron
smelled the exotic fragrance and dis
covered the tree, whose upper branch
es were laden with a beautiful rain
bow hued flower, giving forth heavy
perfume.
Around the base of the tree were
the dead bodies of small animals and
birds.
Barron soon felt drowsiness stealing
over him, his son complaining of the
same feeling.
1t was found that the tree, which
had originally been brought from one
of the South Sea islands, belonged to
the species "Cocineae somnambulae, :"
or sleeping palm, which blooms only
once in 80 years, and the flowers of
which were formerly used as a drug
by the islanders.

PRINCE OF MONACO IN WEST
Enjoys Successful Hunting Trip in
Wyoming Wilds.

Billings, Mont.-Albert, Prince Of
Monaco, accompanied by large party
of personal friends, was guest of the
chamber of commerce on his return
from three weeks hunt in the wilds
of Wyoming, between Cody and Sheri-
dan, where the prince was lucky
enough to bag big brown bear, sew
eral deer and two mountain sheep.
While the prince was away from
civilization, be dropped into cowboy
and Western slang to such q degree
that when he reached Billings his con-
versation was natural in q Western
way.
"The big brown bear that shot has
been skinned and the hide will adorn
one Of my rooms at Monte Carlo,
said the prince. at only took one
shot. and the rifle that used belonged
to William F. Cody, being borrowed
for that purpose. We had time
while in wyoming, and ate big and
small game. / enjoyed every minute
Of the time spent here"
The Prince of Monaco and his party
left for New York and will sail from
that city the last of the week for his
home. where he will spend consider
able time in compiling his investiga-
tions. which he conducted quietly
while on his trip. He expects to re-
turn to this section next year Tor
longer stay in the mountains OF Wy
oming and Montana.

Milk Problem Solved.

More than 10, COO quarts of milk are
handled daily by the Erie county milk
association, which began business in
December, 1899. The association now
owns three-story brick building that
cost $26, 1000, and is equipped with
SIS, 600 worth of apparatus for hand
ling all classes of dairy products.
Business has grown from about $780,
600 the first year to $3.50, 600, says
Farm and Home, and the company
now distributes about half the milk
used in the city. Great economy in
distributing milk has been brought
about because the city Of Erie, Pa,
is divided into districts and the one
driver serves all the patrons along his
route. The producers have taken
stock in the company on the basis Of
So for each quart Of milk produced.
For the last five years the company
paid producers 81 cents per quart for
the contract milk and 8 cents for the
surplus.

Oh MAKES ESCAPE PossTRT =
Waves Too Wild at First to Take
Passengers From Chin

Fishguard T. 7. Watson - Dill.
uI'pnla, passenger Of the Carmania
s when rescued many from the burninO

credit Tor saving those on the volt,r.
no undoubtedly was due to the oil sh;,,

MADE free use Of oil to calm the terri.
When the Carmania arrived Gan.
tain Barr instructed First Of;cer
Gardiner to lower q small boat Th;.
AFTER terrible buffeting, rerained The
Ca er with only three oars intact.
AFTER this escape Captain Barr did
not again attempt to launch a single
boat. Hence our ship saved onlv one
passenger, who swan to her.
On account of the ship's t,,rh;ra
engines, which made fine maneuverino
impossible, Captain Barr stood off and
directed operations, acting in effect as
commander of the great fleet which
gathered about the stricken Volturno.
shortly after we arrived the Carmania
tried both fore and aft oil SPRAYS. hnt
without effect on the mountainous
waves. Then the captain sent ont
wireless calls in all directions for an
oil ship, and his efforts were rewarded
by answer from the Management.
When the Management arrived
the Grosser Kurfuerst, with other
liners, got in as close as possible and
lowered lifeboats. These took aboard
several persons who had jumped from
the Volturno and the work was greatly
facilitated by the steam pinnace of
the Grosser Kurfuerst, which had
stayed out all night. At once the
Narragansett began to spray oil about
the doomed ship, and the waves sub
sided as if by magic. Soon the small
boats were able to run alongside and
take the people from the ladders.
The rescue work was over in a short
time. Eleven liners formed the
boundary around the film of oil, and
the survivors were hoisted aboard the
various steamers without trouble"

CURE FOUND FOR INSANITY
Disease Responds to Electrical and
Bath Treatments.

San Francisco-In the state insane
asylum at Stockton are 1000 patients,
of whom 1900 are durable. DR.. Fred
erick p. Clark after six months ex-
pertinent with interchangeable
treatment, declared that IS per cent
Of these durable patients were on the
high road to recovery. These patients
have been wonderfully affected by the
action of hot and cold water and cleo
trio vibration.
Many patients spend eight or ten
hours in the water daily. Others are
put in packs and receive electric light
baths. Restraints are removed and
the results are surprising. Mild exer-
else and many games are insisted on.
Although the cost of apparatus is
heavy, DR.. Clark thinks the state will
profit by it, as the release of many
patients will cut down the expenses.

France Would Take Credit.

Paris-The Temps devotes leading
editorial to the opening of the Pana-
ma canal. 1t says:
Everyone in the United States I'M
derstands the mingled sentiments of
sympathy and regret with which the
French people see the completion OF a
work originally due to French
initiative. The justice, which our
transatlantic friends will render US
on this occasion, will be but another
bond between them and us.
ssJurists have condemned American
methods in Panama, but Americas So
luton of the problem is historically
and logically unassailable. Any other
would have been precarious. It was
vital to Americas political interests
to assure to herself control of an arm
which, in other hands, would have
been deadly to her..

RUSSIANS FIND NEW LANDS
Arctic Explorers Report Extensive

Continent North Of Siberia.
st. Michael, Alaska % The Russian
flagship Taimyr and its consort, the
Waygatch, which constitute Russian
polar expedition under Commander
Wilkitzky, which left Vladivostok
June 10 of this year, reached st.
Michael storm bound October 8, and
brought to that port news Of the dis
covrey north of Siberia in latitude
81 N, longitude 104 E, Of new unin-
habited mountainous land, possibly q
continent. The expedition landed
with difficulty on the new land, raised
the Russian flag on it and took possess
sion in the name Of the Gar.
Wilkitzky christened the new land
Nicholas Second land"
The expedition sailed from Vladi-
vostok by way Of Petropovlok and
East Cape and thence westward along
the Siberian coast to longitude 96 E.
Commander Wilkitzky says that the
shore of the new country where the
expedition landed and along which the
vessels travelled is rocky, with high,
abrupt cliffs, formed evidently from
volcanic activity. Volcanoes of the
district possibly may have been active
recently, he said. Many high peaks,
he stated, were discernible inland
from the vessels and what seemed to
be vapor could be seen arising from
one of these.
The temperature taken on the water
near the shore line was 51.8 degrees
Fahrenheit, while that taken on shore
was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The
land was covered with snow almost to
the sea.
In July and August the expedition
saw much evidence Of the presence on
the land of reindeer. Many walrus
were seen and bird life was plentiful.
A number of polar bears also were
seen. The vegetation on the new
land, Commander Wilkitzky stated,
was scant. Twenty fathoms from
shore depth of water of 95 fathoms
was sounded.
No evidence of mineral was seen on
any of the newly discovered land.

ing Accusations Will Proba-
bly, Be Dismissed.

/ Albany, N. governor Sulzer was
found guilty by the high court Of i'm
parchment on three Of the articles pre-
ferred against him. They were one,
two and four. He was declared in
nocent Of the charges contained in ar
ticle three.
! He will be removed from Office, but
not disqualified from holding Office in
this state in the future unless there il
substantial change in the informal
vote reported to have been taken by
the court on these questions in secret
session.
For the same reason it was expected
that he would be found not guilty on
the other four articles still remaining
to be voted on when the court adj
journed.
Lieutenant Governor Glynn, who
has been acting governor since the i'm
parchment Of Sulzer, will become
chief executive of the state. He 10
an Albany newspaper owner. Robert
F. Wagner, New York attorney, will
become lieutenant governor. He is
the majority leader in the senate.
The vote on articles one and two
was 80 to Is, a bare two-thirds ma
jority. The former article charges
that the governor falsifed his state
ment of campaign contributions, the
latter that he committed perjury in so
doing. They were the so-called
money charges"
The vote on article three, which
charges the governor with bribing
witnesses to withhold testimony from
the Frawley investigating committee,
was unanimously in favor Of the gov
ernor.
The vote on article was 43 to II,
six members changing their votes on
articles and from ''not guilty" to
guilty, and two from guilty" to
mot guilty. This article charges
that the governor suppressed evidence
by means of threats to keep witnesses
from testifying before the Frawley
committee. Among these was Dun
can w. Peck, state superintendent Of
public works, who testified at the trial
that the governor had asked him to
commit perjury.
The secret vote to remove the gov
ernor was said to be 43 to IA, the
same as on article 4, and the vote to
disqualify him was said to be unani-
nous.
Article 6, which charges that the
governor committed larceny in specu-
lating with his campaign contribu-
tions, was said not to have been sus-
tanned in the secret session by q vote
of so declaring the governor not
guilty to z against him..
