Fire and Disease Menace.
The aftermath of the disaster, how
ever, is beginning to reveal its ap-
palling proportions.
Cold, hunger, fire and disease have
followed so swiftly in the wake of the
original catastrophe that hundreds of
victims may be added to the original
number unless the government author
tiles are able to work a miracle of re-
lief.
Despite the winter weather in the
devastated country, disease has begun
to work in the rude camps of the sur.
vivors
In a score of towns and villages
reached within the last twelve hours
by squads of militia and volunteers
the wastes of brick and stone have
been found ablaze.
In these great kilns in the last two
days human beings buried, but with
life still in their bodies, have been
roasting slowly.
May Blow Up Buildings.
The fire menace, at first considered
negligible, has become so serious that
all militia companies sent out from
this city are being provided with chem
icalG and other tire,fighting apparatus
They also bear explosives, which they
have instructions to use as a last re
sort in saving life, even though many
victims, imprisoned in the ruins, mus
die as result

time she was partly burned, she was
cut down to three decker with a
tonnage of only 1857. She passed
into English hands, and ended her
days most tragically in 1872, being
abandoned at sea because of leak
which could not be reached and
stopped by her crew.
The year 1858 was high water for
American maritime business. 1t was
the supreme hour of the clipper
that captivating sea witch whose
thrall lay across the imagination of
the entire country. Every investor
yearned to buy partnership in a
clipper and reap an effortless reward.
In that year of maritime glory, fifty
eight clippers were launched for the
California trade alone. The rush Of
gold seekers to our own West was
dying down, but, at the psychology
cal moment, far-off Australia sprang
into golden prominence, and toward
her shores the great American clip
per fleet turned it's bows. X. w.
Cameron alone operated fleet of
ten of the finest from New York to
Melbourne; while British charters
took charge of considerable num-
ber. And some of the clippers served
as transports during the Crimean
War.
But alas, for the end of the chap
ter! Like other good things, clipper
building had gone on to point be-
yond that of normal equilibrium. 1t
was a boom, supported by inflated
values. And when the panic of 1857
came, the inflated boom burst, and
that was the end of the clipper. Doz-
ems of them lay idle at the docks Of
every foreign port in the Far East,
yainly waiting for cargoes that came
not.
Moreover, steam had finally begun

MAY Grant Free Scholarship.

During the last session of the Leg
.islature an Act was passed which en-
.abled the commissioners of each coun-
ty to establish and maintain a schol-
arship in the University of Florida
College of Agriculture for one stu

IMITATION DIAMONDS.
They Lose Their Sparkle When They
Lose Their Sharp Edges.

Only the expert can tell an imitation
diamond from real stone when the
imitation is new, but after the fake
stone has been worn for little time
it soon loses its lustre. It is this which
makes a real diamond valuable. No
matter how long it is worn it will keep
its sparkle almost as well as ever.
The real reason for this is the hard
ness Of the diamond. 1t is not due to
any special quality in the stone itself,
except its transparency and its hard
ness.
The sparkle of diamond depends on
the sharpness Of the edges and the
points Of its facets. When the light
falls on one of these it Is reflected to
another facet, lying at different angle
and Is refracted again, and so on,
many times. Each time the light is
reflected it gives a point of brilliance.
and, in most instances, splits up the
light SO that the red and blue rays are
seen.
The imitation stone, to begin with,
seldom has as many facets as a dia-
mond. But, even if it had, the sharp
ness Of these edges would wear off.
Even exposure to the air will wear
away any substance that is not ex-
tremely hard. And just as soon as
there is any dulling of the edges of a
facet, so soon there is dimming of
brilliance of the stone.-New Yo
American.

Silo Saves the Corn Crop.

Corn is the primary silage crop in
the United States and no other crop
is so well suited for the purpose.
Florida is particularly fortunate in
having large number Of silage crops,
hut none is so suitable in every way
as corn. Corn silage is particularly
useful in tiding over seasons of short
pasture. 1t duplicates as nearly as
is possible a green succulent feed.
There is a still greater reason for
making corn into silage in Florida.
Under customary methods Of hand
ling. a large part Of the feeding -'alue
of the plant is lost. Consequently
the silo is the very best method Of
corn.
The Missouri Station estimates
that the silo saves from % to 35 per-
cent of the feeding value of that corn
which is ordinarily lost under usual
methods of handling. Professor C.
L. Willoughby of the University of
Florida College of Agriculture said
recently that even a greater percen-
tage would be saved in Florida be-
cause it is subjected to greater losses
