Crossed Electric Wires Start a Blaze in the Botanical Build- ing. BERKELEY, Dec. 23.—Fire broke out in the botanical building of the University of California at 1 o'clock this afternoon and threatened for a time to demolish the entire structure, The only people in the building the time were Professor W. L. Jepson, Professor A. C. Lawson and the janitor. These three made a piu 'kK fight, but -it was only after fierce worl that they managed to subdue the flames. The fire was in between the walls and hard to reach until it had gained con- siderable headway. The hose belonging to the building was used with good effect. A large quantity valuable botanical | specimens were stored near by, but for- | tunately all escaped Injury. Considerable | damage was done to the building, how- ever. ' Appearances indicate that crossed electric wires entering the building from the front were the cause of the blaze. —_—————— Death Came Suddenly.

In South Africa is a band of nuns who not only pass their lives In religious devo- tion, but have adopted the role of new women in a strange character. Eager to sow the seeds of religion in South Africa, they turned their backs on the time-hon- ored convents of Europe and established themselves under the name of the Sisters of St. Dominic near King Willlams Town, Cape Colony. But in the new country where the nuns set up their habitation the Boer neighbors looked upon their work with suspicion and resentment, and even the English looked with disfavor upon the convent. The con- | sequence was that the sisters bought an extensive farm, and finding that farm la- borers were scarce in a land where most of the digging was for gold and diamonds, solely as a means of self-support the nuns put their hands to the plow, But accidents will happen, even in a convent, and in time the plowshare became broken. There being no blacksmith in that re- gion, the nuns sent to Cape Town and got the materials to build and the tools and implements to supply a smithy. A black- smith as a tutor was found, and the nuns learned how to become blacksmiths. The: have thus far grovad not only thelr equai- ity with man, but their superiority to him, for when the blacksmith, disregarding his religious environment, went on a_pro- longed spree the nuns speedily forced him out of the settlement and determined henceforth to do all their own work. But the nuns went even further. They found that blacksmithing among the Boer and English residents was profitable work, and they bullt a smithy, with a brick forge, a strong, capacious bellows of oxhide and all the customary parapher- nalia incidental to the vocation of the vo. urlu of Vulcan, Irtld e;u;)lllhled g{lfl;- selves as a cogvent of female black- smiths, X m?mmobmmmumm TOYO KISEN KAISHA. §TEAMERS WILL LEAVE WIHARF, COR- mer of First and Brannan streets, 1 p. m. for YOKOHAMA and IIONGKONG, calling li Kobe (Hiogo), Nagasaki and Shanghal, and connecting at Hcngkong with steamers foe India. etc. No cargo recetved on board oa day of sailing.
