VARIETY OF SLEEPING PALM
San Francisco Believed TO Have the
Only Tree Of It's Kind in North
America.

In Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
specimen of the rare sleeping"
palm has been found which is consid-
cred to be the only one in North
America.
The tree, which was brought 10
America by young Australian botan.
ist, William Robinson, gives out a Pc
culiar aromatic odor. It's upper
branches were loaded with a beautiful
rainbow-hueG flower, giving forth
heavy perfume.
Around the base of the tree were
the dead bodies of small animals and
birds. The curator who discovered the
rare palm felt drowsiness stealing
over him, ald his son complained of
the same feeling.
It 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 fifty years, and the flowers Of
which were formerly used as a drug
by the islanders.

Oil Drives Out Coal.

On account Of the large production
Of petroleum in California, and its use
for fuel, coal mining has practically
ceased in that state According to the
United States geological survey, the
production Of coal in the last two
years has been Cnly 10,747 tons in
1911, and 1O,97S tons in 1912. The pro-
duction of petroleum in California in
1912 was SG,45O,7G7 barrels, Of which
not less than 5O,OOO,OOO barrels was
used directly for fuel Large quanti-
ties of oil were also used in place Of
coal for gas making, and on the esti-
mate CT 3la barrels CT petroleum being
equivalent TO one ten of ordinary
bituminous coal, it is probable that
from 100000 to 100000 tons Of
coal would be required to perform in
California the service now rendered by
petroleum in the production of heat,
light and power. There is still, how
ever, some demand for coal in Califor-
ria, particularly for domestic use and
for the bunker trade at San Francisco,
but this is almost exclusively supplied
by coal from other states or from
abroad.-Coal Age.

Il Saved the Natives.

A writer in Rome relates that some
ladies' touring in Sicily rented an auto
mobile to take them to an interesting
neighborhood, away from the beaten
track Of travel. Everyone crossed
himself as the machine went by. A
man riding a horse saw it coming,
leaped into the adjoining field and fed
for his life; a horse drawing a cart
with a man in it did The same thing
(mans views on the proceeding not
known; donkey took one look, re-
tired into the ditch, rolled quietly over
on its back and waved four feet en-
treatingly. But when they stopped
and the people understood that there
was no danger, everyone was most
courteous and charming"

To a foreigner stage management
in Japan would appear somewhat &c
centric. When an actor is killed dur.
ing the play man in black rushes on
the stage and holds a large clock be-
fore the supposed corpse, who soon
rises and runs off the stage.
The scenes are never shifted, but
the whole stage revolves on wheels,
while between the acts the children
among the audience rush behind the
curtain and play until the drum beats
for another act. The performance be-
gins at 10 a, m, and the audience pro-
vision themselves for "a hours, curling
up On mats and smoking the whole

Broke Power of Indians.

One hundred years ago Gen. An.
drew Jackson had at Fort Strother 900
raw recruits and several hundred
friendly Indians in preparation for the
second years campaign against the
Creek Indians With this force he
conducted raids into the Indian coun.
try with varied success. Before the
end of February General Jackson had
an army Of 5000 men within easy
reach of Fort Strother. But it was the
first of March before needed provl.
sions for an active campaign arrived,
and several weeks more elapsed be-
fore General Jackson was in position
to give decisive battle to the Creeks.
Then came the bloodiest battle of the
war, the battle of Horseshoe Bend, in
which the power of the American In
dian was broken forever.

The Marconi outfit has been espe
cially developed for railroad service
Space and weight had to be draws
upon economically and the whole sys
tenn is Just about one-quarter the size
of an ordinary installation, This nat
urally has imposed refinements and
made It necessary to take great care
in offsetting the jarring vibrations OF
a speeding train. Again the electrical
engineers have done well. because
+. even upon the first run the apparatus
functioned encouragingly. ~
or course there are yet obstacles to
! be Nsurmounted, because there are re.
| iinements Of adjustment that radically
affect perfect working. The principal
/ one Of these has been that of regu-
lating the wave lengths and in get
/ ting the installation upon the moving
/ train turned to the distant stations.
The wave lengths generated by the
train equipment are about 500 meters
long, or in the neighborhood of half a
mile, and these have permitted OF the
/ maintenance Of wireless communiCa-
tion for a distance just short of 30
miles. So far the operator aboard the
train has been more successful in
dispatching than in receiving mes
sages and the immediate efforts will
be directed toward putting him upon
an equality with his fellows at the
Fixed stations.
Upon the trial run the conductor OF
the Buffalo limited was taken i'll and
when thirty-odd miles from Scranton
a wireless call was dispatched for a
relief conductor. The substitute was
on hand when the train pulled into
that station.
Again, there we're more passengers
than seats, and in the same way an
extra coach was ordered and made
ready by the time the limited pulled
into Binghamton. Upon a later run
news items were received aboard the
train and bulletins posted from tire
to time for the edification of the pas-
sengers. In time it will be possible,
1t is believed, for passengers to send
and receive messages at any moment
of the day or night while the trains
are speeding along at their highest
rate.
What is perfectly plain is the fact
that the advent Of the wireless opera
tor aboard a moving train adds just
one more watcher who will be con-
on the alert and can cooper
ate with towermen in keeping the en-
gine driver informed as to the state
of the road ahead Logically the next
development of the system will be a
telephone installation extending from
the room of the wireless operator to |
the cab Of the locomotive and perhaps |
even to the fremans position If his .
task separates him from the engineer. |
OF course the question of expense
must be considered always, and for
the outlay involved in this
case is not prohibitive. The station
lry plants at Scranton and Bingham
on have apparatus costing $4,000 for
each, independently Of the wireless
overs, and the train equipment costs
bout half this. The operator need be
tut little more skilful than the aver

FIGHT FIRE ON STEAMER
Prompt Action Averts Loss of Prop
erty or Lives on the
Massachusetts,.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-F1re which
broke out on the steamer Massachusetts
Of the Eastern Steamship Company
shortly after the vessel. with 300 pas
sengers on board, had left her Hudson
river pier for Boston early tonight, was
extingushed quickly and with little dam
age by the help of municipal f1reboats
and Of firemen they sent on board the
endangered vessel to ply it's fire hose.
The fire was confined to the engine
room. near the oil tanks of the steamer,
an oil-burning craft. There was no panic
among the passengers, but for convent
ence in fighting the flames they were
marshaled in two groups-one at the
stern and the other near the bow of the
vessel. When the fire broke out clouds
of smoke began to shoot out from the
Massachusetts, and tireboats and other
craft put out to her assistance.
The steamer did not stop her en-
gines, however. and her own men and
the assisting fire craft fought the blaze
as she steamed up the East river. By
the time she had reached the foot of
18th street, on the way to He'll Gate, the
fire was out and she proceeded on her
trip.
A fireman with a hand torch searching
for a leak in the oil pipes is believed
to have started the blaze.
