FALL RIVER LINER HIT
BY TUGBOAT IN FOG
Vessel With $50 Aboard Slightly
Damaged, But Gets Under Way
Again for New York.

By the Associated Press.
NEWPORT, r. l., July 3.-The Fall
River Line steamer Providence got
under way for New York tonight an
hour and a half after 4, tug had
struck her in a heavy fog off Castle
Hill. Capt. Avery of the steamer re-
ported by wireless that his vessel was
somewhat damaged, but made no
mention of the damage to the tug or
injury to her seamen. The steamer
was carrying $50 passengers.
First word of the accident came
to Summer residents, who heard
shouts from the Providence. Boats
pass close to the mainland at this
point for deep water. Word to a
steamship official resulted in a mes
sage to Capt. Avery and his reply.
The identity of the tug was not
learned. A private launch of Arthur
Curtiss James, after searching
through the fog. returned here with
word that she could locate neither tug
nor steamer.
Capt. Avery's message said that
about % feet of the wearing strip
and guard log had been damaged, also
a part of the bulwarks after the
freight gangway. The Providence
was bound from Fall River to New
York and the tug was entering Mar
ragansett Bay when she hit the
steamer.

SAYS SAP OF EVERGREEN
TOO THICK TO BEFRozEN
DR.. Gail Of Idaho UniversityADis.
covers How Plants AresPro.
tected in Winter.

MOSCOW, Idaho, Julye3.-Why do
the leaves Of evergreens hang on oil
Winter long, when by rights they
should be frozen and drop off? Ac-
cording to researches of DIR. Floyd W.
Gail of the University of Idaho. to be
reported on in the next issue Of the
Botanical Gazette, they stick because
in Winter their sap becomes too thick
to freeze.
DR.. Gail gathered leaves from pine
trees and from broad-leaved evergreen
shrubs once every month through
three years, crushed out the sap and
tested it for it's freezing point. He
found that during the Summer, when
the weather is warm and the sap flows
freely, that it is relatively thin and
could be frozen easily if there were
any frost TO freeze it. But as Fall
comes the starch in the leaves is con
verted into sugars and oil, changing
the sap from a thin and watery fluid
into sort of sirupy emulsion, very
difficult to freeze.
He found that the greatest density
| of the sap was reached during late
January and February, when the most
severe freezing weather occurs. De
ciduous trees. that lose their leaves
| in Autumn, show some thickening up
of the sap. but apparently the sugars
| are transferred into the tree before
| the leaves drop off. for DR.. Gail found
| that the sap pressed from leaves that
| had just fallen was easily frozen,
whereas sap from leaves not quite
| ready to fall resisted the effects Of
| considerably lower temperatures.

Wolf Children Are Unique

From the Adventure Magazine.
In the pioneer days of the Puget
Sound district in washington, two
children, and 10 years of age, walk
ing through a heavily timbered dis
trict on their way to a. country school,
were startled by a cougar hopping out
of the brush beside the road and pick
the 7-year-old boy up by the collar of
his jacket and walking along. carry
ing him like q cat carrying her kit
tens. The other boy. badly frighten-
ed. but trying to rescue his brother,
ran alongside of the cougar, caught
him by the hair of the neck and ham
mered him over the head with his tin
lunch bucket. After a little of this
treatment the cougar dropped the boy
in the road and with a spring side
ways disappeared in the brush.
In regard to animals stealing and
rearing children, Sir William B. Full
Ter. British scientist, IN his book. THE
Science of Ourselves" makes the
statement that in India children are
frequently carried off by wolves, but
not killed. During so years at least
nine of these children have been res
cued from their wolf foster parents
He states that he saw two of the chill
dren who were rescued from the
wolves when they grew too large to
enter the burrows. Neither of them
showed any traces OF human manners.
They ran on all tours. They had no
articulate speech. And they preferred
the society of dogs to that of men.
Even long subsequent association
with human beings effected no change,
he said.
A wolf child rescued in the Agra
district of India was kept in the Sc
cundra Missionary Asylum from 1867
to 1895. He was discovered sitting in
the company of a wolf at the entrance
to a burrow. During his IS years
stay in the asylum he never at
tanned completely erect position. He
never learned to speak, and his sole
accomplishment was that he came to
use his fingers in eating instead of
wolfing his food.

Ellis and his party were in the COM

than the horses, they escaped, he
said.

Mr.. Ellis said the object of the at.

English Love of Oak.

There is something almost mystical
in the liking of the mass of the peo-
pie in England. especially those of the
countryside, for the use of oak in their
furniture, says the Antiquarian Maya
zine. 1t was all right for the court
and it's fashionable followers to take
up the foreign fashion of walnut and
later of imported mahogany, but one

squire or wealthy yeoman giving his
