Seminary Ab1aze, Sister
Directs 81 Boys Escape

Fiftyfour boys were playing ycster-
day in one of the buildings of the Sa-
cred Heart Seminary, conducted by the
Sisters of St. Joseph, in Hampstead,
L: l., when one of them passing the
kitchen noticed that it was afire.
He called Sister Hillary, who mar
shaled the boys, most of whom were
on the floor above. By the time she
had counted them and given the order
to march out, the flames were bursting
through the floor. Nevertheless, she
kept her small charges from panic, and,
as soon as they were safe, joined other
sisters who were trying to save valua-
bles in the chapel.
They were assisted by Father Robert
Boyle and Father Joseph Smith. The
smoke soon became so thick in the
chapel they had to give up the effort.
AS soon as the firemen had the flames
under control, however, and had partly
ventilated the chapel, the volunteer
salvage corps set to work again.
The building in which the fire start
ed was wrecked. The damage is est
mated at $4,000.

'Jim,' Fire Hero. Given
500 by Hidden Dot 81
Guess l Can Use It, All Colored
Porter of Broadway Exploit
Has to Saw

An anonymous donor, who believes
in more practical reward for heroism
than the plaudits Of the crowd, was
found in New York yesterday, thereby
making 1t perfect Saturday for Jim
Gross, negro porter employed by the
Winter Garden Drug Company at FIJI
tieth Street and Broadway.
Jim is twenty years old, and his life
had been more or less uneventful until
last Thursday. when an emergency
arose. and he faced it squarcly. He
and William Matthews. a clerk. were
working on the fifth floor in a store
room when Matthews clothes caught
fire from blaze which started in some
mysterious manner. The porter rushed
to his aid, and when the clerk tried to
throw himself from the window seized
and held him. Beating out the flames,
jim guided Matthews along coping
far above the street to another window
and then carried him downstairs.
So great was the excitement at the
time of the sensational rescue that the
porter's last name was not learned even
by the police, and in the newspaper
accounts of the fire he was referred to
simply as Jim" hero.
On Friday jim was back at work,
and had dismissed the incident from
his mind.
Yesterday morning. however, there
came to The Tribune through the mails
a check from donor who insisted that
her name be withheld. 1t was made
payable to "Jim' and called on the
United States Mortgage and Trust
Company to hand over to him 500.
When the hero was told of his good
fortune he had little to say. excepting
that he lived with his sister at 1862
West Forty Street, and he
GUESSED he could use it i"

York City, Lusk Announces
From a stog Correspondent

ALBANY, April 2.-Senator Clayton
r. Lusk, president pro TEN. of the
Senate, made it plain to-day that Gov
ernor Miller will receive authority to
conduct an inquiry into municipal af-
fairs Of New York City if he wants
It,
Discussing the reported disinclina-
pass the Tolbert bill, giving the Gov
ernor such authority, Senator Lusk
said "The Legislature would undoubt-
edly give Governor Miller what he
wants. The Governor has not pressed
the recommendation. and, as matter
Of fact, the subject has not been
brought up since the time Senator
Tolbert introduced the bill. -
The Tolbert bill amends the ex-
ecutive law by giving the Governor
power to inquire into the affairs of
cities and counties in the state with
out first waiting for formal COM
plant to be filed. The measure car
ries out recommendation made by
the Governor in his inaugural mes
sage.
The bill still is in the hands of the
Senate Committee on Judiciary, to
which it was referred upon its intro
duction early in January. No hearing
has been held on it, as far as is known.
The fact that no action has been
taken on the measure is generally in
terpreted as meaning that the Cover
nor is inclined to the belief that a
legislative inquiry into New York City
conditions would be the best method
At getting at the bottom of things it
an investigation is really essential. e
Governor Miller to-day declined to
discuss the possibilities of an investi-
cation of New York City by a legisla-
tive committee. When he was re-
minded that he recently said that ne
would order an investigation if ev

WITHOUT NAILS OR RIVETS
New Scientific Method of ShippuiIding Seen in Construction of Vessel
 at Liverpool.

Can you imagine ship without a nail or rivet in all its hull? Do you recollect the visit to the shipyards and the army of men mailing huge timbers to the skeleton frame of ship? And, over in the next yard, the swarm of men hammering the white hot rivets in the great plates of battle ship? Ones imagination is stretched consid- erably to conjure a method by which all these workmen may have their toll reduced or eliminated. Yet this is teday's development in the science of shipbuilding. The steamship Fulla- gar has just slid down the Liverpool ways without a nail or rivet in its hull From stem to stern the plates are electrically welded. The Fullagar is an oil driven cargo steamer of 800 tons. She is now undergoing final tests. Experts declare that she will not only stand all the tests required, but her success as an ocean carrier will revolutionize shipping. We may now calculate what boon the cleo trical welding process will be if great armies of men have to be transported on the bridge across the seas." Not only does this method release man power for other tasks, but it enables shipyards to turn out mighty steel ships within short space of time.

COULD USE TOMATO SEEDS
Department of Agriculture Points Out How They May Re Made
 Source of Revenue.

That much valuable material Is be ing wasted annually by throwing away tomato seeds extracted in pulping, soup catsup and canning plants is in dicated by investigations made by the United States Department of Agricul- ture.
 Department investigators have foun0 that more than one thousand tons of seed are thrown away annually in northern tomato-pulping plants, with large enough output of seed to pay for shipping, and that they may be made into edible oil and stock food worth about $S6,000 December, 1919). Cost of collecting and preparing the seed is estimated at about $35,0OO, including all proper charges, and the cost of the necessary equipment is given at not to exceed $5O,OOO.
 In addition the same plant, which would run not more than five months in the year, could be used for the han ding of grape seeds and pumpkin seeds, which would distribute the over head and cut down the cost of manu- fracture of the tomato-seed products.

Col. Ezra B. Fuller, the author of a riding anthology" has himself a notable achievement of endurance and horsemanship to his credit. During the Nez Perces campaign of 1877 Full UaTK or rne TenGwstGhe f1ver, near Miles City, was ordered by General Miles to take five troopers with him and carry dispatches to General Sher- man at Fort Ellis, Mont Much of the trip had to be made running along side of the horses, owing to the moun- tainous character of the country trav- ersed and the almost impossible con- dition of the trails. The total dis tance covered was over $50 miles, which was made in four days and nineteen hours, without changing mounts.

HOW NATURE MAKES JEWELS
Gems Are Really Nothing but Parts of Earth Cooked in the Cruel
 ble of Nature.

That the diamond is nothing but a piece of super-coal, is known to many people. It is costly because rare and when cut it glitters wonderfully. The opal, the diamonds rival, is literally nothing but silica (flinD and water. True 1t is that these two elements have been cooking" for some thou sands of years in Natures crucible, and that the output is small. Hence the price. But the beautiful iridescent coloring is merely water and not fire" The exquisite turquoise, with it's soft blue color, is but phosphate of alumina (clay), and the copper in the earth is the color maker. But clay and copper crucibled in Natures chemical laboratory produce the tur- quoise. The sapphire, oriental ruby, and topaz, are but crystals of flinty earth. The sapphire's blue color is merely iron-one grain of it acting on 100 of alumina. The red of the ruby comes from the clay being acted on by chronic acid. The garnet and beryl are only compounds of flint and alu- nina, with-for the making of the beryl-some earth called glucina, a sweet salt sacreted Natmra g.t 2 um. All the above, and other pre- cious stones, be made by the ton-if we had -.dCure's crucible. Wa ter, clay, flint, sodium, are as cheap as dirt! It is the crucible we lack.

The Oyster Tree.

On branch of the main river of Tumbez in Peru the oyster presents a singular appearance. The river is so lined with trees and underbrush that the growth nearly excludes the rays of the sun, and the branches that grow downward at high tide are covered by the flood. Thousands of oysters then attach themselves to the limbs, and at low tide they are suspended several feet above the water. A traveller states that he picked two boatloads of the marine fruit" which, though small, were almost as good as the oysters of the Chesapeake.
 A similar phenomenon can be seen on the Island of Jekyl in the mouth of the Altamaha river in Georgia. Sour orange trees grow on the margin of the island, and the branches that dip into the river acquire oysters in the manner described above; to add to the curiosity, the upright branches of the tree frequently bear their nat ural fruit, while those below are cov- cred with oysters-Youth's Con- panion,
