calamity is this faffe c'f the Etmcr family,
who were seeing off one of their sons to Cal
ifornia. The father, mother, son iuid soi-n-
law are dead, all four; the daughter-in-law
has had her arm, and her child its hand,
blown off. The case which exploded had
been in the care of the carrier Westcrniann,
of Breincrhavcii, and was accompanied on
Us way to the steamer by a Mr. Tumforde,
of w hom it 1 said oil trace ha been lost.
The rart haa been shattered into thousand

catastrophe is now traced to W.
K. Thomas, a passenger of the Mo
sel. Thomas has acknowledged that he was
tfie ofer of the barrel wliU-li exploded, and
that he intended to take his 1'f'rel on board
the vessel for the purpose of sinking ln'i.
The motive of this diabolical wickedness ap
pears to have been the hope ' t gaining a
iarge sum by means of exaggerated and ticti
tious insurances, and the sum thus obtained
was to have been shared with others. He is
perfectly conscious and answers all ques
tions put to him. He is In the same room
w ith mittiy of his vk-tirii. According to In
formation" at present in possession of (he
police, Thomas had prepared only one bar
rel for the carrying out of his horrid work,
although a report had spread in Brcmcr
haven that a number of machines had
bceii ptlt ?n board the Moscl. This
barrel was made fOf Tlioina" by the
master cooper Delvendhal. It was miidfe
of strong material, and was divided by
means of a partition in the middle, through
which there was a hole. In one division it
is assumed that he had placed the igniting
apparatus, and the other was tilled with
dynamite He accompanied the barrel when
it was taken to the depot of the North Ger
man Lloyd Company, nnd told the porters it
should be handled with cHre. It is supposed
that hi plan was to effect the ignition by
means of it clock-work apparatus, w hich lit
all probability tens to be set in motion when
he arrived at .Southampton, to which plu-n

The scene at the hospital dead-house was
of the most harrowing character. The mu

The Harwich correspondent of the l'n
don Times furnishes that paper with the
following account of some 'of the thrill
ing incidents which accompanied the
wrecking, ofl the east coast of Harwich,
of the North German Lloyd steamer
Deutschland, bound from Bremen to New
York, with 124 passengers:
Weaving together the various personal
narratives which I liflve taken down from
the lips of passengers the following Is the
story they have to tell: They were nil in
bed when the ship struck, anil Merc
aroused first by the bumping of the ship,
and next Ly the cry that rang fore and aft
for every man and woman to put on tho
life-belts, of which there M-as a plentiful
store in hand. The women jumped up
and swarmed in the companion-way of
the saloon, making for Ihe deck, M here
they were met by the stewardess, who
sto! in the May, and hnlf forced, half
persuaded them to go back, telling them
there M-as no danger. After the screw
had broken the engines alo failed, and
the sails proved tiseleps; the male pas
sengers then cheerfully formed themselves
into gangs and Morked at the pumps, but,
as one said, they "Mere pumping at the
North Sea," and as it M as obviously im
possible to make a clearance ot that the
task M-as abandoned, and the oflicers,
creMr and passengers re'.apsed into a state
of expectancy of succor from without.
That this could not'long be coming hsip
pilv seemed certain. The rockets Miikh
had been sent up had liecn ansM-ered from
the shore. The lightship, Mhich had
helped to mislead the Captain, M as plainly
visible, and at last two ships sailed by so
near that till they began hopelessly to
fade away, one to the northward and the
other to the southward, the passengers
M-ere sure those on Iraard had seen the
M'reck, and were coming to their assist
ance. Perhaps it M-as this certainty of the
nearness of succor that kept off either the
shrieking or the stupor of despair. How
ever that may be, it is one of the most
notable features about this fearful scene
that, with a few exceptions, after the first
shock everybody Mas, throughout the first
day, Monderfully cool, patient and self
possessed. There was no regular meal on
Monday, but there was plenty to eat tind
drink, and the opportunity seems to have
been generally, though moderately, im
proved. The women kept below all da-,
and, Mhile the tires were going, were
served Mith hot soup, meat, bread and
wine, and seemed to have been inclined
to make the best of a bad job. But toward
night the horror of the situation increased
in a measure far beyond that marked b the
darkness. All day long the sea had been
washing over the ship, but by taking
refuge in the bertlis and on the tables and
benches in the saloon it had liten possible
to keep comparatively dry. As night fell,
however, the tide rose, and at midnight
the Mater came rushing over the deck in
huge volumes, filling the saloon and mak
ing the cabins flonting coffins.
Then the women were ordered up and
instructed to take fa' the ringing, but
many of them, cowed by the wilduess of
the sea that now sM-ept tne oecK lore ami
art, and shuddering before the fury of the
pitiless, sleet-laden gale, refused to leave
the saloon. Then happened horrible
scenes which the pen refuses to portray
in their fullness. One M-oiflM- driven
mad with fear and despair, deliberately
hung herself from the roof of the saloon.
A .man. taking out his pen knife, dug it
into ui'j ' P"d worked it Hliout &

There were five nuns on lioanl, who, by
their trrr"r-tricken conduct, seem to have
added greatly fo flip wcirdness of the
stTne. 'The were deaf to all cntrcalie1o

force the stewardcM (whf5e rrmdnrt
throughout Mas plucky in the clfr-rn?)
TMn;ged to get them on to the companion
ladder, tin' y .?! U down on the steps and
stubbornly refused irf g" nother step.
They seemed to have returned to the
saloon again shortly, for some time in the
dead of the night, mIicii the greater part
of tlie cr?w nnd passengers were in the
ringing, one was wen Mith her body half
th'rot'go the skylight, crying aloud in a
voice hc-ifd flfrrV the 'tonus "O, my
Hod. make it quick! make" It qlili'M" At
daylight yesterday morning, Mhcti the
tide had ebbed, leaving the deck clear,

There -em to have been a wonderful
amount Of unelflhness displayed; every
body cheering and trying U' help every
liodv else. One ot the pas.scPFern h
cheery Teuton, named Adolph Herrmann
took a young American lady under his
special charge, nd had the satisfaction of
peel in; her olf to London this afternoon.
He tok her tp the rlgglnjr and held her
on there all through ihv n'gtht., and Mtys
she was as brave and as sclf-'OVres,d as
if they had been comfortably on shore
Sunt t'oie during the night an unknown
friend passed ,'lcwn to him a bottle of
whisky. The cork Mas in tb lotile, and
as he Mas holding on to the rigging with
one hand and had the other round the
liidy there was some difficulty in getting
at the contents of the bottle. This he
finally solved by knocking the neck off,
and then found himself in the dilemma of
not htiug fl.de to get the iMtle to Ihe
lady's moulh. " Volt re pouring it down
my neck,'' was her quiet response to his
first essay, but in the end he succeeded in
aiming the whisky in the right direction,
and 'W taking some himself passed it
on, feeling mUch. refrenhcnl.
Just before Hits a tcrr'ihlr acr-hu-nt oc
curred, M hich threatened' death tO onn or
both. The purser, Mho had fixed him'
self in the rigging some yards above
them, gelling numbed, loosed his hold,
and failing headlong down struck against
the lady nnd liounded ofl' into the sea. lint
Herrmann kept hi hold, mid the nhock
was scarcely noticed, On such a night all
the obligations were not, as Herrmann
gratefully acknowledges, on the one side;
for when one of his ieet got numbed his
couipfinioo, following his direction,
stwmpcd upon it till circulation Mas re
stored. From their perilous post, Mith
waves occasionally dashing up and blind
ing them M-ith spray, they saw some ter
rilile scenes lielow. A man tied to the
mast nearer the deck had his head cut oil
by the M-aves, as Herrmann says, though
probably a rope or a loose spar Mas the
agent. Not far off a little boy had his leg
broken iu the same manner. They could
henr and see. the nun shrieking through
the skylight, nnd when fhe was silenced
the cry was laken up by u woman wailing
frof "the wheel-house: " My child is
dnQncth Hit little one, Adam."
At day light a sailor, running nimbly
down the rigging, reached the poop and,
bending over, attempted to seize some of
the hall-drowned people who were float
ing about. Once he caught a little child
by the clothes, but before he could secure
il a wave carried it out of his grasp and
his shrieks were hushed in the roar of the
waters. At nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing the tide had so far ebln-d that ihe deck
M as clear and, coining down from the rig
ging, the battered and shivering survivors
began to think of getting breakfast. A
provident sailor had, Mliile it mhs possi
ble, tnken up aloft a couple of loaves of
black bread, a ham and some cheese.
These M ere now brought out nnd fairly
distributed. An hour and a half later ail
peril Mas over and the galmnt survivors
were steaming for HarM ich in the tug
boat Liverpool.
(atlicrinsr Honey and Pollen.
Tmk honey is taken from the flowers by
the bees, and on their M ay home it is pass
ing through a churning process, and
churned. '1 lie body of the bee is put to
gether in three sections, or bands, and un
derneath the two front bands on each side
there is an outlet, or small hole, where the
butter oozes out after In ing churned. This
butter is pure white wax. It is received
by other l-es and placed in the comb, or
cell, and by the mouth of the bee it is
pressed out in ils proper thickness and the
balance remaining w hich, to carry out
our simile, we may call buttermilk is
thrown up by the bees into the cells, and
the longer it remains there the sweeter it
gets, as it extracts the sweetness or the vir
tue from the comb, bringing back the Ixxly
of the sweets which is contained in its
first gathering from the flowers ; one pound
in the comb three years old has as much
medical virtue us three tHitinds one year
old.
Besides the honey there is the pollm,
Mhich is of more lwncfit to the bees than
the honey.. Alter it is dejiosited in the
comb it is called bee-bread, as it is their
principal living in the winU r and their
young iced on it altogether until they are
ready to work.
The pollen is gathered in this wise; The
back of the bee "is covered with a line
wool, or hair, and on entering the flowers
the pollen sticks to it. and when necessary
to release it, it is combed out. The bee
has six legs, three on each side, and. the
middle one on either ide has a comb on
the under side, from the forked to the first
joint. As this can reach only half-way
across the back, it is combed from both
sides and the txdlen is taken from the
comb by the two fore-feet. It is then flat
tened by the two fore-feet and caught le
tween the toes and passed back to the
thighs of the hind legs, each one receiv
ing the same weight as nearly as possible.
The pollen is taken from the end of the
petals of such flowers as the bees cannot
enter while on the wing, the front feet
being used for this purpose. The pollen
is removed by putting the leg in the cell,
when it is pushed olf w ith the forked toe
and. stepping to one side, the other is
cleaned in the same manner. Aaerim
