TELLS ABOUT COLLISION
NonroeS Captain Details His Exper-
inceS.-DefendS His
Course.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-What
means Edward f. Johnson, captain Of
the steamship Monroe, took to avoid
the collision with the steamship Nam
tucket off the Virginia coast, in which
II persons wer lost, what efforts he
made to save tne lives Of passengers
and crew, and his conduct from the
time the ship struck to the time he
went aboard the other vessel, were
among the things inquired into to-
day at the trial of Capt. Osmyn Berry,
commander of the Nantucket, who
is charged with negligence.
The United States steamboat in
spectors who are conducting the pre-
ceedings also went into the ques-
ton Of the construction of the Mon
roe and her life saving appliances.
Capt Johnson retold almost every
incident of the disaster he could re-
member He said that Immediately
after tie collision he ordered the 9TH
er officers Of the ship to get all pas
sengers on the boat on deck, as the
ship was sinking. Because Of the
heavy list to starboard, only two
boats could be launched. One was
commanded by himself, Capt. Johnson
said, and the other by the chief Of
ficer.
Capt. Johnson testified that his
boat cleared the Monroe a little be-
fore the other boat. He admitted he
left tde ship with the knowledge
that there were other persons in the
vessel but said that he wanted to
go around the stern to the port side
where ne could save them. The star
board rails were under water. In
MS boat were James OConnell Of
and a negro woman and
several of his crew. He saw no one
IN deck when he quit the ship.
Oa the way around to the port
side of the sinking Monroe, Capt !!
Johnson said he saw raft with four
men on it and took them off, Al
his beat saved % or 29 per
sons, he said
Asked if it would not have been
better for him to go about the ship
discipline and giving or
1ers, Capt. Johnson replied:
'If l had walked around the deck
seeing what others were doing, there
would have been about 80 more peo-
pie drowned"
To many questions why he did not
cut loose the life RATS; the witness
replied he was very busy trying to
get the boats away Every person he
saw on the decks or in the water,
Capt. Johnson said, had on life pre-
server with the exception of nim-
se'f.
The Nantucket stood quarter of
a mile astern Of the Monroe, the wit
ness said, and did remarkably well'
in heIpicg to save passengers and
crew

THE COLUMBIA RIVER
Gan Essay by George Fitch

The Columb ia River is produced
among the mountains of western
Canada, but is kindly presented to
the United States after it has at
tanned a useful size. 1t is one Of
the worlds most ornamental and
profitable rivers, and tourists who
have wasted years in examining the
Rhine and Danube with great care,
blush for the time they have wasted
on these narrowgauge streams after
they have once seen the Columbia.
The Columbia is composed Of ex-
cellent drinking water, but for the
first few hundred miles of it's length
is too athletic and informal to be
useful for navigation purposes. At
ter it has tumbled down out of
Canada, however, it becomes broad
and deep, and can be navigated by
steamboats, of great vigor and reso-
luton.
The Columbia rambles through
the state of Washington in an unde-
cided manner, like a tourist in an
art gallery, and then serves as a
boundary between Washington and
Oregon with much success. 1t is
this section of river which strikes
even the case-hardened traveller with
awe. 1t flows between banks which
are mile high in places and are
profusely decorated with waterfalls.
cliffs, precipices, chasms, clouds
and snow banks. Nothing finer can
be found in the world, but many
travellers on the railroad which runs
by the rivers edge miss the scenery
entirely while reading the train bows

is now known. the largest animal that
has ever existed on the earth or in its

mems have been measured which reach
ed length of eighty seven feet and in

is enormous, large enough, in fact. to
permit ten or twelve men to stand up

nine inches in diameter. These ami

MEMORIAL TO WASHINGTON.
Progress Reported In Efforts to Get
Necessary Funds.

The best method of celebrating the
one hundred years peace between this
country and Great Britain would be
through the erection of the proposed
George Washington memorial build
ing in Washington, said Mrs. Henry f.
Dimock, president of the George Wash
ington Memorial association, in an ad-
dress before a meeting of the Fedora
ton of Clubs Of the District of Column
bia recently. She urged the federation
to assist in the work being. done
toward the erection of the building,
saying it would be fine Washington
birthday present. I'VE are going to
build anyway" she prophesied.
Mrs. Dimock said that Massachusetts
would contribute 100000 toward the
memorial and that she expected that
a bill for a contribution of $25O.OOO
to the fund would be introduced in the
New York legislature within the near
future.

The Use of the 1ydrometer in Testing Spray:

Apparently there is much con-
fusion IN the use of the hydrometer
IN the standardizing of dilute solu-
lutions of sulphur-lime sprays. The
following directions for the diluting
OF the spray are given in answer to a
number OF inquiries which have
been received regarding the use of
the hydrometer with the Beaume
scale. For accurate results in the
use of the hydrometer one should
have one for each solution, the one
for the weak solution should have a
reading of l degree to 10 degrees
and the one for the concentrated So
luton should read from 25 to 35
degrees. Both hydrometers should
give both the Beaume and the speci-
fic gravity readings. AS is well
known, the height at which any
article placed in liquid floats, de,
ponds upon the weight of the liquid
in which the article is suspended.
Distilled water at a certain temper
allure is the standard of density or
weight with which all other solu-
tions are compared. With the spe-
cific gravity hydrometer LOO is
the weight of the water and this
should correspond to the 0 degree
reading on the Beaume scale.
A 1.5-degrees Beaume rea din G
should correspond to a 1.01 specific

gravity reading, or in other words the
solution would be one one-hundredth
times heavier than water, and like
wise a 33-degree Beaume reading
would correspond to 1876 reading
on the specific gravity scale. In
other words, the Beaume scale
merely expresses in whole numbers
what the specific gravity scale ex-
presses in decimals.
: Since most bulletins and articles
on spraying use the Beaume or
whole number" scale instead of
the specific gravity, or decimal scale
in their directions for the dilution
of concentrated sprays, it has led to
much confusion as to just what pro-
portion of water to use to make the
proper strength of diluted spray.
If the following directions are used,
there need be no confusion and one
has only to test the concentrate So
luton, then use this with the proper
proportion of water. First, find
the specific gravity Of the concen-
trate; next divide the decimal of
this by the decimal of the specific
gravity of the diluted solution: then
dilute so that one part of the con-
centrate added to a certain number
of parts of water will make as many
parts in the dilution as the number
obtained in the division.
