Albert, another Italian fisherman. Both men saw the Rio Janeiro in the gloom and marvelled that it could be 80 close to the shore. The next moment they knew something was wrong and each headed for the ship, proceeding carefully in the fear they might be entangled In the wreck. They came near enough before the ship went down to hear the volce of some person through a mega- phone. The man who yelled at them told them that the ship was sinking and lost and to stand by with help, sending word to San Francisco as soon thereafter as they could. When the ship disappeared the Italians hurried to the kcene. Ademi picked up three persons who were struggling in the water, then his small craft could hold no more. Then he set out for shore, bent upon summoning other aid. Albert, however, had more room In his steam launch and he picked up & number of Chinese—he says he does not remember just how many. These boats proceeded to Meiggs' wharf, where the res- cued people were put ashore. Both the Ttallans then put back after gliving the alarm to the scene of the disaster, but found no more people in the water. They soon afterward came ashore. Ademl says that whoever the officer was who shouted to him through a megaphone, he was a man of sur- passing cooln He stood with the mega- phone to his mouth still shouting instruc- tions when the ship sank and the Itallans aw him go beneath the surface even as he apgke, . “The Italian * fAshermem brogght to the Merchants’ Exchange station at Meiggs' whart twelve bags of mall, which they picked up at the acene of the wreck.

WASHINGTON, Feb Baron Hermann, agricultural expert of the German embassy, has received word from the German gov- ercment that a specialist, designated by the ugricultural socleties, will leave Berlin soon for the United States to make a careful inquiry into the uses of American agricul- tural machinery, with a view to its intro duction Into general use in Germany. Baron Hermann for some time has been urging on the German authorities the marked ad- vantages of Amerlcan agricultural ma- chinery., He looks upop the move as one likely to prove beneficfal, both to German agriculture and to American manufactures. The agricultural sections of Germany are being depopulated, while the manufacturing centers are becoming overcrowded, and it s felt by the German government to be desirable to give every modern facility to the agricultural increase the productive capacity of the farms to their full limit. Baron Hermann has urged this upon the government, and It Is now the purpose to make a thorough inquiry, both on the farms and in the agricultural fac- tories. The expert will arrive fn this coun- try about the time the sowing season begins, and through the spring and summer will glve his attention to the farms, going to the agricultural factories In the fall To Hold Another Stock Show.
