Steamers Crash Off Japanese Coast

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

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

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.

Ilaru Art Secrets Revealed.
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. The summary of embez
zlements , etc. . by years , from 1894 to
1908 , is as follows :

U.se.s of Concrete.
The Cement- Age says that Hie experi
ment of the Lackawanna railroad with
concrete car bumpers has beeu tried with
great success. 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.

stand the loss of State funds which had
been forwarded to the State treasurer on

took the money ; then said , with an ex

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications , as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness , and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by the inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.Vhen
this tube is Intlamed you have a rumbling
i sound or Imperfppt hearing , and when it i.s
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result , and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion , hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh ,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness ( caused by Catarrh ) that
