Plconco Called _onw‘G-o'a. to Strike Him
Dead, and He Died.
In California the other day'a man
accused of’ murder called upon ‘God'
to strike him dead if he were the mur--
derer, and straightway he fell dead.
The incident has caused a profound
impression. There is ‘still enough ‘su-
perstition, or Whatever it may be', left
in American human nature to make
such a tragedy aWe-inspiring.
Joseph Pmconco, a Portuguese,
owned a ranch in the Cleveland dis-
trict of Merced County. For some
years a tract of land of some 150 acres
had been in dispute between him and
a neighbor named De Rosa. The lat-
ter died, but his widow maintained
his claim ,and put a poor old Mexican
named Bernard Assuero in a cabin
on the disputed territory.
Assucro lined with no companion but
a little dog. One morning the dog
came to the De Rosa ranch in a half-
starved and , dying condition. Sus-
picion was aroused and a visit was
made to Assuero’s cabin. There was
old man was found with his throat
cut and his cabin burned to the
ground.‘
The Mexican had been last seen aliye
011 April 15. Pinconco had been seen-
on- that night on the trail which led
to Assuero’ s cabin. He was therefore
a1',rested taken befOre the District At-
torney at Hollister, and questioned.
The man was told that he would
have to stand t1ial for his life. He
sprang to his feet with arms upraised
and clenched hand and face tense with
despair.
“Now may God strike me dead if I
am the murderei , of I-ssuerol” he
cried. ‘

ETHERIZING PLANTS.
A Discovery Which May Add to the Re;-
sources of Horticulturists.
The discovery of the singular. fact
that plants can be developed earlier
than is normal by exposing them to
the influence of ether fumes would
seem to add enormously to the re-
sources of the ho-rticulturist, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It is found
that after exposing sleeping plan-ts to
the fumes of ether and chloroform,
they begin to shoot, having possibly
been awakened from their previous
condition of sleep or inactivity.
This raises two questions of which
gardeners are now looking with keen
interest for a solution. Can the ether
dispel the condition of sleep from all
plants? Can the plants awakened be-
fore their proper time, develop in a
normal manner and become useful
and salable? The plants to be ether-
ized are placed in an airtight recepa
tacle and exposed to the influence of
the drug from twenty-four to ninety-
six hours (usually about forty-eight
hours). Cylindrical glasses are used
for small plants. Large plants are en—
closed in an oil-painted box, the inte-
rior of which is lined with tin foil. The
box is four feet high, four feetlon-g
and 2 1-2 feet broad. On the lid a
small hole is made, which is closed
with a cork, and through this hole the
ether is conducted. As the ether is
very inflammable, great care is to be
taken not to bring lighted candles or
matches near it. It is dissolved at
from 15 to 20 degrees centigrade. Ex-
periments with lilacs, willows and oth-
er [igneous plants, as well as with
bulbs and hyacinths, while show«
ing widely varying results, seem to
justify the belief that when the pro—
26s's is more thoroughly understood and
systematized it will be most valuable
in forcing plants to maturity at any
time after the formation of their roots.
ROSSINI THE COM POSER.
Nailed for His Laziness, but Could write
Against Time When in the Mood.
Very remarkable are the conditions
under which musical composers have
sometimes turned out their work. Ros-
sini was renowned for his laziness,
yet When the mood was on him, or
when pressure was brought to. bear
upon him. he could write against time.
“The Barber of Seville” was composed
in a mouth. '
There is another story of the same
composer in which one hardly knows
whether to consider him" particularly
lazy 01- particularly industrious. He
was in the habit of writing in bed, and
on one occasion, while thus engaged,
a trio that he had almost finished
dropped from his hand and slipped un-
der the bed.
The sheet was too far away for him
to reach it, and to get up and reach un-
der the bed for it was out of the ques-
tion. There was only one other thing
to be done. and Rossini did it. He
wrote another trio.
Ross-ini’s characteristics were so well
know that sometimes strong measures
were taken to secure a composition.
The overture to “GIazza Ladra” was
was procured in a peculiar manner.
On the day of the first performance the
manager got hold of Rossini and con-
fined him in the upper loft of La Scala,
under guard of four scene shifters,
who took the text as it was written,
sheet by sheet, and threw it out of the
window to copyist-s waiting below:—

Japanese Reporters.
The Japanese reporter makes about
as much money as the Japanese po-
liceman— that is, $6 a month. In To-
kio some of theminake more, and in
9 the smaller towns they make as little
as $2 a month, but $6 is a fair aver-
age. They are not sent out on regular
assignments as a rule, but are given
a roving commission. The editor tells
them to get news—real news if there
is any, but get'news; and they never
return empty-handed. A good news-
gatherer is rare among them, but the
"fakir” is plentiful enough, and really
clever.
cInterviewing can hardly be said to
be popular. The people do not under-
stand it and do not like it. Japan is
esoteric and doesn’t tell what it knows
if it can help itself. Still, there are
interviews in Japanese papers. Pol-
iticians have themselves interviewed
occasionally, and distinguished “globe-
trotters” usually submit—New York

Jewas Growing on Trees.
Jewels growing on trees seems
rather a freak of the fancy than real-

Among the curiosities. of tropical
plant life are the pearls found occaf
siovnally in the coco-anut-palm of the
Phillippi'ne Islands. These pearls, like
those of the ocean, are composed of

The bamboo, too, yields another pro-
cious product, in the ”shape of true
opals, which are found in its joints.

CALING WITHOUTA LADDER.
A Pyr amid of Soldiers ~Enables Men to
Surmouut a. 31- Foot Wall.
. Corpor’al Leary, the limberest man
at Fort. Sheridan, took the chance of
breaking his neck and tumbling the
storming pyramids of forty-one soldiers
in a bruised heap Saturday as he
sprang upward from the shoulders of
Private Miller, caught with three fin-
gers of his left hand the top of the
nigh wooden wall behind which lurked
the enemy, hung for one perilous in-
stant, and then gallantly pulled him-
self to the top, seized his rifle, and
sprang into the midst of the foe on the
other side of the improvised parapet
111 the Coliseum gallery. '
The human pyramid swayed, but held
its sturdy place while gallant infant-
a'ymen swept up the stalwart shoulders
and over the thirty-one foot wall to
Corporal Leary’s support, while a
platoon of twenty-five men kept the
enemy away in front of the wall.
It was at this point that the regular
army officers, who were watching the
[my from the Coliseum gallery, led the
applause, for Corporal Leary and his
comrades had broken the world’s cs-
raladiug record by three feet.
When Corporal Leary climbed to the ‘
apex of the pyramid and stood on the
shoulders of the men in the top row,
the tips of his fingers lacked five in-
ches of reaching the top of the wall.
The highest wall that ever Was es-
:aladed before was twenty eight feet,
and .the men who climbed over that in
the military carnival at. New York
broke the. werld’s record then. The
wall at the Coliseum was ‘tllilty- -o11e
feet high, and it took just fou1 min-
utes to scale it.
Eighteen of the heaviest and stiong-
est men in the regiment formed the
base of the pyramid, ten mounted on
their shoulders and leaned against the
wall, six stood on the shoulders of the
ten, four on the shoulders of the six,
and three on the shoulders of the
four. Corporal Leary scrambled up
this escaladin-g pyramid of blue. and
stood on the shoulders of the. top three,
braced against the wall.
When he stretched out his arms, and
found his fingers would not reach the
edge of the wall, he crouched, and
then, as the human mountain swayed
dizzily beneath his feet, with the
mighty and yet delicate elfort of the
trained athlete he sprang boldly five
inches upward at the edge of the bar-
rier. He tried to grasp the top of the
parapet with both hands, but only
three fingers of his left hand went
high enough. The pyramid under him
was still swaying. He held to the haz-
ardous edge by the three fingers for
111 instant, and then, with a heave and
a twist, pulling his whole body up,
:aught the wall with the other hand.

Be Stopped the Procession.
A clergyman, who was also a wit,
once preached rather a long sermon
from the text:
“Thou art weighed in the balance
and art found wanting.”
After his congregation had listened
for about an hour, some began 'to get
weary, and went out; others soon fol-
lowed, greatly to the annoyance of the
minister.
Another person star,ted whereupon
the parson stopped in his sermon and
:aid: ' ,
“That’s right, gentlemen; as fast
is you are weighed pass out.”
All the others waited until the ser-
mon was ended.——Spare moments.
Havana Cigars that Cost. 82 Apiece.
It may interest those who are be-
wailing the forthcoming scarcity of
cine Havana cigars to know that one
retail dealer in New York sells and
has. sold for years cigars of a certain
brand at $2 each. He sells on an av-
erage about four Of that kind every
week. An old Spanish friend of mine,
who for twenty years was in the cigar
business here, assures me that they
cost the dealer about $1.45 each when
put in his show case, so that $2 is not
‘ too much to charge for them. The
main points of their cost are the large
wages paid to the expert workmen
who make them, the very large leaves
used for the wrappers and the duty..

Modern Naval \Variure W'ill be Revolu

If the Holland submarine torped1

at Elizabeth, N. J., performs what is
claimed for and expected of it, it is cer
tain to cause a great revolution in the
present system of naval warfare
Many attempts in former years were
made by inventors to devise a submav
rine boat which would answer every
necessary requirement for such a craft
but all such have hitherto, when
, brought to trial, exhibited some fata‘.
defect which'rendered their adoption
as an essential feature of the navy out
of the question. Within the last four
or. five years, however, the problem
seems to have been solved to a greatex
01' less degree of completeness by Mr.
Holland, and other inventors as well
About four years ago a Bead of Na
val Officers made a thorough examina
tion of the plans and proposals of the
diiferent American inventors, with thé ‘
idea of adopting the best for. the Uni-
ted -States navy. They pronounced
‘emphatically ,for the vessel designed
by Mr. Holland, and declared it to be
both ingenious and eflicient.. Thus it
is not surprising that the construction
of ., the boat has been watched with
more than ordinary interest by both
American and European naval author-
ities, and that the latter are said to be
eager to purchase it should it perform
all that is promised when ready f0]
trial.
The value of a craft of the characte1
claimed for the Holland submarine tor-
pedo boat to this or any other Govern
ment possessing it would be simply

tems of modern naval warfare must
be in a great measure revolutionized.

tack, and remain under water for
The successful
operation of the submarine torpedo
boat must set inventors to work to de-
vise some entirely new features in de-
fensive naval warfare which will as
nearly as may be counteract the deadly
oifensive device. That they will suce

at least a great extent is almost a cer-
