Survivors Saved by the Hideyoshl Ten Are Lost in Ferry Boat Accident in Germany. Two hundred and seventy-five persons were drowned in a collision between two laVge Japanese coasting steamships , one of them crowded with passengers. The collision occurred before dawn in a dense fog. The 8,000-ton Matsu Maru of the > "ii > poii Yusen Kaisha line \vas the vessel sunk , being struck by the Ilideyoshi Maru , and going down with in a short time. It is definitely known that the Matsu Maru carried rorty- three sailors and 244 passengers , and nearly all of these perished. The scene of the collision was within a few miles of the reef on which the Dakota , one of the biggest of the Amer ican owned Pacific liners , was sunk a year ago. It is in a dangerous and difficult part of the Hokkaido straits , near the city of Hakodate , and just south of the northernmost of the Jap anese group of islands. According to advices from Hakodate , the passengers were all sound asleep when the crash came , and terrible scenes of panic ensued. The Matsu began to settle rapidly , and the boats were prepared for launching' Owing to the darkness and the wild panic among the passengers , however , little could be done. The Ilideyoshi , though herself badly damaged , stood by and put out boats to save what survivors she could , but the Matsu sank within ten minutes after the collision. The Hideyoshi's boats cruised around until after dawn , but succeeded in mak ing few rescues. Another steamer stood GATORS' HOME TO BE EDEN. Florida's Governor Digs Canala in Test to Drain Everglades. In the l > ? lief that it is possible to drain the everglades , thus wiping put of existence the world's greatest Labi- tat of alligators , and to convert the millions of acres of swamps into the garden spot of the earth , Governor W. B. Broward of Florida is trying to re claim 10,000 acres of these lands as a test. He is carefully watching two large dredges that are slowly digging a sixty-foot canal preliminary to recla mation work. Experts , both in thia country and in Europe , to whom sam ples of the soil of the everglades were submitted for analysis , prouounml it the richest in the world. They return ed a similar verdict on sugar cane raised on land reclaimed from the everglades. Sugar imported into this country is valued at $ JoO,000.000 a year. Gover nor Broward. using the experts" data , figured that $ l."iO,000,000 worth of sugar could be produced on fiOO.GOO acres of the Everglades. That would leave over 2,000,000 acres for the production of other things. With this bonanza in sight , lie set about to have the lands drained. He was confronted with al most overwhelming opposition. Kail- roads Iield grants for more laud than is owned by the State , and they claimed the Everglades. Governor Broward's plan was to drain Lake Okechobee , which would require a canal about fifty miles long. His effort to get from the people au thority to raise money enough to carry out that project was defeated. lie then undertook the carrying out a lesser proj ect. It is proving a complete success , and will , he says , convince the people of the wisdom and practicability of the big plan. The work being done consists in run ning two canals to Pine Island , which is three miles long , three-quarters of a mile wide , and lies four miU'.s from New river. One canal will extend to the northern and the other to the southern point of the island. This will make 10.000 acres of land available for " cultivation. Engineers say the canals will be completed in the fall. Each canal is sixty feet wide and ten feet deep. Land already drained has been sold for from $ in to $20 an acre , and the GIANT DREDGE EATING CANAL THROUGH FLORIDA'S MUCK LAM ) . by and gave what help could be given. When the naval authorities at. Hake date were notified , they dispatched sev eral fast destroyers at top speed for the scene of the wreck , in hope of giv ing assistance. The Hideyoshi was bad ly damaged , but no one is befieved to have been lost on that ship. The cap tain and all the members of the crew are Japanese. A number of rich Japanese merchants ire thought to have been on board the vrecked steamer. Fifty Year * In Miss Ida Lewis , the only woman in charge of an American lighthouse , and who has been at Lime Rock lighthouse , in Newport ( R. I. ) harbor , for over fifty years , is thinking seriously of taking a vacation. JSVhen one considers the fact that in fifty long years she has never passed a night away from her isolated home , it will be seen that the vacation will be quite a stupendous undertaking. Miss Lewis is suffering from nervousness and loss of sleep. Last fall she received from the American Cross of Honor So ciety at Washington its cross of honor and membership in the order. She is the first American woman to recejve such an honor. Since then Miss Lewis has received a pension fromxthe Carnegie hero fund for saving eighteen lives. She celebrated her 05th birthday anniversary very quietly last month. She is assisted by her brother. Rudolph Lewis , in caring for the lighthouse. The moving picture combine is a new : ickel { rust.

Collectors of rare violins and other musical instruments are much interested in the recently tested claim of Prof. John Horvath of Philadelphia that he had dis covered the secret of Stradivarius , whose violins now command fabulous prices. According to Horvath. it is all in the varnish and after years of experimenta tion he has produced the varnish. Be fore a company of experts and musi cians he compared the tone effects of two violins treated with his varnish , one a $2 affair in use and the other a $22 in strument just out of the factory , with a number of rare and costly violins. His triumph exceeded all expectations for the treated instruments equaled the best.'The next step will be to give a number of treated violins ? a six mouths' test. Embezzlement * lu ] JOT. The record of embezzlement , forgery , defaulting and bank wrecking continues large , though the total for 1907 is smaller than that of 1SKKJ. which was the largest since 1894. The total for 1907 is $10- 424,820. Banks and trust companies are the worst sufferers , their losings being $4,9SSGOr . Public officials have beeu comparatively honest , having abstracted only $7S7,4t5G.

They are of monolithic construction , with a granite block face to receive the blow of the var buffer. The rai.'s of the roadbed project into the concrete , so that the impact force reacts 'against the weight of the car. The same authority tells of the successful operation of an immense fly wheel , or rather two of them , made of re-enforced concrete , in a pumping station near Johannesburg , South Africa. Each weighs 0,000 pounds and is 14 feet in diameter. The difiiculty and expense of transporting iron led to this surprising use of concrete. County Lioxex Money.
