Captain Makes Statement.
Captain Turner, who stood at his
post as the Lusitania went to the
bottom of the sea, being saved after
he had held to chair for more than
two hours, this morning made his
first atatement concerning the sink
ing Of the ship. :,
II am not ceratin whether more
than one torpedo struck the ship"
said the disheartened official. II
know that the shot resulted in an
explosion, but I cannot say whether
it was another torpedo or the boiler.
I saw the first torpedo strike the ves-
sci on the starboard side and I also
saw the second one headed straight
for the steamers hull, directly under
the suite of Alfred Vanderbilt, one

BRAZIL NUT TREES.
They Do Not Bear Fruit Until They
Are Fifty Years Old

ARC TUtJ cdTs OiQs
In this country Brazil nuts are al
most as well known as walnuts, yet
few know the manner OF their growth
and the steps taken in their collection
and marketing. The tree itself is the
most majestic in the valley of the ANA
zon, where it attains height ranging
from fifty TO a hundred feet Gener-
ally several hundred trees are found In
a group. The control Of the best pro
ducing districts long ago passed to pri-
vate individuals: hence the natives are
not free to pick and sell the nuts at
will.
The Brazil nut tree does not begin to
bear fruit until II attains the age of
fifty years or whereabouts and contin-
ues to produce crops internationally al
most forever. At least trees known to
be hundreds of years old have pro
duced crops. The pods in which the
nuts are contained drop in November
and December.
These pods are very hard and weigh
several pounds, consequently the trees
are studiousiy avoided during the pc
riod in which the pods are dropping
since 1t would be extremely hazardous
for the gatherers to expose themselves
to the danger of having the pods fall
on them from such a great height.
Each pod Is at least seven inches in
diameter and is full OF nuts. The pod
is usually opened with machete.--Ar-

ALASKA'S SEAWEED.
Volcanic Eruptons Have Deadly En-
feet Upon kclp Life.

The damage done to seaWcel and
other forms of marine vegetation *
about the last thing that would occuy
to anybody who had not made Il study
OF the subject as n possible result OF
a volcanic eruption.
Kelp is one of the most useful forms
Of seaweed. 1t used to be found in
abundance off various parts Of the
coast of Alaska, but for several years
past the crop has been practically de
stroyed by volcanic eruptions which
have occurred In that vicinity
This has been source of great loss
to the natives of Alaska, who have
made use of kelp in a variety of ways.
AS it grows only in shallow water, it
has proved valuable aid to naviga-
ton in waters where there are prac-
tically no aids except such as nature
has provided Then, too, the natives
used 1t to fertilize their gardens.
There are various theories as to just
how the action of volcanoes interrupts
or entirely stops the growth of kelp.
One is that the hot blasts and poison
Gus gases which pour out of the
craters during eruptions are fatal to
plant life.
Another more probable explanation
of the damage done to kelp is that 1t
is due to the enormous masses OF pun
ice from the volcanoes.
This pumice, it Is thought, covers the
rocks 50 that the kelp and other ma
rine plants find it impossible TO cling
to them. or it may be that 1t is the
grinding effect produced on this great
mass OF rough stone by the constant
movement of the tides and waves
which brushes out the waters vege-

the fan-light and an inner open uoor' o".
Young playwright's desk, his shoulder, and
then, as he moved, his half-averted face.
What did it say? Again, what story,
what explanation of hideOus mystery,
spoke from it? At that moment it held
only a suffering blankness, hunted mis-
cry to wiring the heart.
But as I.aneham still watched him, his
shoulder moved again. His hands went
out. He seemed to be opening his mail.
And next moment that blankness in his
face, that suffering misery, had changed
again to horror, and new horror!
EOR what the Doctor beheld in the next
= half minute nothing in the world had
prepared him. On Glasbury's desk was
the sick, steady futter of a letter held in
hand that shook and shook. Then on
sudden that shaking stopped, and for an
instant he turned almost full face. In his
expression alone there was that which
should have given any one warning, the
expression of the hunted man who at last,
and at bay, has taken his decision. His
right hand seemed to go blindly into an
open drawer. 1t came out again. At his
temple there was the swift level glitter
of polished nickel A click, then another.
And Laneham, powerless even to move,
knew that Glasbury was trying to shoot
himself.
He was trying to. But, from some de-
feet, the weapon refused to serve him.
And next moment, as he let it drop heav-
lily to the desk again, once more his face
was changing-to the look of the man
who believes, harriedly, that he can not
die, and tells himself that in death
itself there would be no escape for him.
Then, trembling and shaking, he got
to his feet. Standing over his waste
basket, he was tearing that letter-what-
ever it was-into such shredded bits as
the Doctor had already seen. Some
how he steadied himself. His every fea-
ture now said desperately that, whatever
must be faced, he would still endure and
face it through!
A few minutes more and he moved
quickly to the door and was in the street
again. And Laneham, following, was
telephoning to McGloyne:
"Yes, yes. For his own sake-to save
his life-though think there is no more
uduSer now. buU WaUcn MIN every mo-
ment. :. Yes, and make absolutely GER
tain of getting me everything from this
mornings basket
A LITTLE after two, the contents of
that second basket reached 800.
1t held little compared with the first,
but it held enough: again they cleared
the big desk and went to work. The
Doctor said nothing as to what they might
expect to find. He merely laid out that
murder note once more and once more
began to match latter against latter.
And it was the paper itself, and not any
writing upon it, that first brought his
hands to halt.
"Willings, look here" he said. He was
holding tiny strip of that water-lined,
almost transparent foreign note-paper
known as onion-skin.
aWell?"
"Where have you seen that before?
You don't recognize it?"
In the meantime he had found a second
strip, this time with writing on it.

ham had just spread himself out second
little pile-when, looking again, he sud-
denly put his hand over it, and spoke to
d. Hope.
Before he said it she knew that he
wanted her to leave them
"If, without asking why," he begged
her, "youll just let Willings and me finish
this alone?"
And, to give her something to do, he
asked her to go on with the search for that
lost magazine with it's clue-word "mund.r
"Try some of the scientific publications.
he said, "the German chemical journals,
and that sort of thing.
Not until she was gone did he lift his
hand again.
Beneath it lay three scraps of that slip
perry "onion-skin" on each piece were
smears and blotches of fresh blood.
"My Lord!" cried Willings.
Neither spoke again till the last terrible
little shreds had been fitted into place the
whole letter was together and it could be
read.
1t ran as follows:
The signore Glasbury,
Sir
This is twise l rite and will not rite
again. we can not dare now to go back again
last nigt the police leave two guards. they
will not guard again. We too, can kill in
those fisher rooms. we need 5,OOOS. You

that we troble you no more. give you the
marks from him kill last nigt. so you will
know.
And the entire bottom of the letter was
one daub Of what-there could be no
doubling twas the life-blood of Ser
geant Hooley.
1T was second murder note, ana one
more hideous almost than the first.
For time neither could touch it again
But, blood-smeared and dreadful, the
thing was there.
"The-the beast must have written it,"
said Willings, "as soon as he got back to
his diggings.'
"Little question. He can hardly have
needed to re-moisten his fingers! +.
Well, so much for poor Grogan's ghost
demon. So much for his apparition from
nowhere that passed through the solid
walls!'
"But, Doctor, "-Willings was reading
the hideous screed again, what does
this mean: We, too. can kill in those
Fisher rooms?' Evidently the italian
devil believes that Glasbury did it, If he
didn't"
He was stopped by the warning in
Laneham's face. And at the same in
slant the Doctor was covering everything
with newspaper. D. Hope had come
back again.
She had come back again, and her eyes
We're shining. "Doctor." she cried with
her first breath, "I've found it,"
"Found it,"
"Found your 'mund magazine. It's
