It IS e s=i:re «nd •-'It lor ' ^ iyriip,” and Uke IW dcs a botlle- ispatlch Contest We Know Titanlic Went AU the Way Down. There have been so many dis putes as to whether the Titantic sank to the bottom of the ocean “ j. only to a depth of a few hun dred feet, that the Scientific Am ^rican deems it necessary to set tle the question with i>the asser tion ‘ The Titantic is on the bot tom, ” and an explanation of why this’is certain. There is, it says, a commonly erroneous supposition that the density of the water is far .great er at the bottom than at the Sur face. “Density,” it continues, “is here confused with pressure. The pressure increases ehormdus- ly as we descend, amounting to considerably over 6,000 pounds per square foot at a depth if 100 feet. Divers sometimes work at depths of as much as 150 feet, where the pressure is half again as much, 9,363.75 pounds, to be exact. When provided, with spe’cial armored diving suits, div ers have operated at considerab ly greater depths; but nothing approaching the depth at which the Titantic now lies. This depth is given as 2,000^ fathoms, which is considerably over two miles, and the pressure amounts to three-quarter^ of a million pounds per sqare foot. “It is only natural to suppose that under such pressure the den sity of the water would be in creased, but laboratory experi ments have shown that it is al most impossible to compress wa ter. At a depth of a mile the density of sea water is only 1.130 greater than at the surface. “With this clearly in mind, it is very evident that would not float at the surface of the sea could not float at any intermedi ate point, but must surely sink to the bottom; for it could not displace a greater weight of wa ter at the bottom than at the top, even though the water in the first case was under much higher pressure. As a matter of fact, any air-filled chambers or com pressible matter in tbe vessel would be crushed in bv the enor mous pressure of the Jwater^ m that the displacement of the wreck would be Rowing less as it went down and it- would falling through tbe water at a «>rrespohding acceleration. We must also remember that steel is m\ich more compressible than water. Deaf Co8«ge Boraed. Flint, Mich., May 22.—It is estimated that it will cost the state close to $600,000 to replace the buildings and ^uipSijfent of the Michigan School for the Deaf in this city, that were struck by lightning and burned early today. Among the important losses are many remarkable pieces of crafts menship, the work of pupils of the institution. All of the ISK) deaf children and teachers and employes, who were asleep in the main building when the fire broke out, were rescued without panic or injury. The inmates were from five to 18 years of age. They were a- wakened by the teachers pound ing on their beds and telling thetn in sign language of the fire. None seemed unduly excited, and ?' v- era! were able to pick up a f clothes as they were leaving. They were immediately put into improvised beds in Brown Hall, the residence of Dr. Francis D. Ciarke, superintendent of the institution, and the only building that was not burned. The principal building destroy ed was the administration build ing, a four-storj' structure erect ed in 1854 at a cost of $324,000, not including contents. It con tained all of the offices and all of the records of the institution, and it is not thought that any of the records saved. The fire Durned so rapidly that all atten tion had been directed to the res cue of the children and the wo- ?ien teachers did valiant service in this respect. EVIDENCE 1 AGAim BSADilY ^*^®ndersonville, N. C., -as.A decided surprise jwa$ sprung in the Myrtle Hawkins here today when the stat^ introduced two witnesses Who have been silent until today, whp in company^yirith George Bradley ; near Lake Osceola, on the day of her disappearance. t^dge Cornwall, of this city, SMQ: that he. was delivering a l^d of lumber in the city on the Thursday that the Hawkins girl disappeared that he saw her on the porch of the McCall home, with several i other women. . t.., Long, a merchant of Honea Path, said that the day in question he w4s in Hendersonville on busi ness arid that he ' saw Myrtle Hawkins near Lake Osceola with a main whom he did not hesitate to identify, as George Bradley, pointing him out in court. Dr, IJ,; H. Williams, of Ashe ville, testified that a man wbo resenqsbled ‘ ‘Boney' ’ Bradley catll- ed ons' him last y^r in refefenbe to thk (^se of a ‘‘girl.” He was not :^ositiye. .■ He said the later a girl,; v^hq looked flike the photo graph of Myrtle Hawkins, came to*his :offic6 with another woman, but l^ift without an examine* tion. ' , ^ . Hazel Gentry testified that Nora Britt, one of the defen dants, had said that; ‘ ‘she could make - somebody shake in this ease if she wanted to." Democratic Dark Horses. Providence Journal. s, - Speaker Clark is far in the leaid for the Demociratic presidential nomination, but neverthele^ lacks more than 400 votes of required two-thirds of the Bai^- more convention. Just where sliie expects to obtain these is a qu6ih tion. It looks very mu"h (ik« a deadlock at Baltimore, with thib chances good for a aark hor^. Perhaps a candidate will finaij[& be cbosen to whom no^ a MngH delegate is now pledge: ! i Among the Demuci^ts who^ not appear in the lists at prtnra^ are Governor Plaisted, of Mioi^; Governor Foss, of Massachusetp; Governor Dix, of New York; Bryan, of Nebraska; GovehiOT Mann, of Vii^nia; Senators m- con and Hoke Smith of Georgiy; Senators Shively and Kem, of Indiana; Senators Johnson and Gardner, of v^eriator John Sharpe Williams, df M^sis- sippi; Senator Hitchcock of .N^ braska; Senator O'Gornian, of New York; Senator Ohamberialh, of Oregon; Senator Culberson, of Texas; Representatives Harrison, Littleton, Kedfield and Sulzer, oi New York; Palmer, of Peiihsyi- vania, and Henry of Texas; May or Harrison, of Chicago; Mayor Preston, of Baltimore, and May or Goynor, of New York, and National Chairman Norman E Mack, It raighc be niiidiy interesting, after the Baltimore convention, to revert to this list and see whether it contains the name of either of the candidates on the ticket.

T. Richeson who was executed in Bostori Mon day night for the murder of Av s LInnell, took place just before sunset today on the old Richeson farm, 18 miles from here, the in terment being beside Richeson's paternal grandparents and five miles distant from his mother's resting place. The burial was attended with great secrecy even near neigh bors not knowing of arrange ments therefor, and only the fam ily was present, brothers and near relatives acting as pall-bear- ers and assisting in filling the grave. , i * The trip was made from Am herst by a wide detour over the roughest route in the country, making a springless farm wagon necessary to convey the casket from the Amherst Oourt. Only : Douglas ^Richeson the Chicago brother accopipanied the b^y home. , ' : & M(£lure FiHtitit'e ^ of Graham, N. C, predate the patronage the peo- of Alamance Co. Iii|iv6 arid are giving them.
