The ANTIOCH DISASTER
Loss OF LIFR,-A correspondent, writ.
ing frem Antioch, on April 10, says:
A telegram announces another seri-
ous shock, the last of numerous minor
ones, which. without intermission, lave
succeeded the first and most fatal one.
Now, scarcely house is left standing,
though IN this latter case the loss of life
has not been 80 serious, (only Eve killed, J
because the greater part of the inhabi-
tents had fed to the country around,
whore they are now living in tents, sent
from Aleppo for their accommodation.
by our energetic Governor General
Sureya Pasha. In fact, the Governor.
aided and abetted by the English Con.
sui, MIR. Skene, has been most unflag-
ging in his efforts to supply the requisite
surgeons, provisions and necessaries of
all kinds, and has headed a subscription
for the indiscriininate use OF the suffer
efs, which has been rapidly and hourly
increasing. The troops despatched from
Aleppo are now busy discovering the
dead, some 1.600 bodies having been
already extricated. This necessary work
is much retarded by the fanaticism OF
the inhabitants, each religious denomi-
nation fighting for the doad of their own
creed, instead of allowing the whole to
be buried by the Moslem soldiery. The
stench emanating from the corpses is
something fearful, and pestilence will, it
Is much feared, result from the usual
rapid putrefaction of dead bodies under
Syrian sun. AS if those evils were not
sufficient, the Dusari e. sect of idolators
who worship Baal and Ashtaroth) i'm
proved the occasion and set upon the
Turks. and slew Rifaat Bey and his SOD,
MuSsulmans who were obnoxious to
them. The Mussulmans attribute this
calamity in some mysterious manner to
the Christians, and are under the i'm
preston that this baneful influence will
continue to reign 80 long as single
Christian's body is left uninterred. They
are, therefore. very anxious to bury all
the dead Christians as quickly as posi-
BILE. without the usual bell and candle
and benefit Of clergy which the Oriental
Christians think 80 efioacious. Dis
putes thus frequently arise. which, ut
any moment, may assume serious pro-
portions If not duly checked.

A COLOSSAL BALLooN-MR. KINGS
LATEST EFFoRT-THE BIGGEST BALLOON
IN THE UNITED STATRs.-Mr. King. the
well-known Boston mronaut, has been
engaged for the past FIVE months in oon-
strncting balloon which, when COM
Iieted, will be the largest ever made in
America. It is to be named the "Colos.
sus, term which will be fully merited
by the monster construction, the circum-
ference Of which is 191 feet, and the
capacity nearly 100. 900 cubic feet. It is
perfect sphere, except that there is an
elongation below sufficient to form the
neck, and is made of single thickness
OF the best Lyman Mills cloth, 1900
yards OF which were furnished expressly
for the purpose. To give it additional
strength, however, twenty-four stays or
bands OF four thicknosses of cloth, each,
nave been run around the globe, which
has been carefully coated with oil varnish
to render it impervious to gas. There
Will be two cars attached, one above the
other; the top one to be fitted up with
scientific apparatus for the purpose of
observations, and containing every ac.
commodation for tho observers: and the
lower one, of larger dimensions, for
other passengers and ballast. The en-.
tire affair weighs between 1,4OO and
l,50O pounds, and when filled with hydro.
gen gas it will lift nearly 1000 pounds;
with the common street gas, fifteen or
twenty passengers. with the requisite
amount OF ballast, can be carried for q
long voyage. The oollapsing cord is
sewed in from the bottom upwards for Q
DISTANCE Of twenty-five yards. The ca
pacity OF the balloons previously used
by Mr.. King arc as follows: Gen. Grant.
$4,000 feet; Queen of the Air, SO. 5000;
Star Spangled Banner, $4,000; Hyperi.
on, 6S,0 The first ascension Of the
latter was made in Boston with eight
passengers. who travelled seventy-6ve
miles, and on the following day another
ascension was made.

"Ihis isa tine time to set out flowers

wrap the hox up in cotton batting. In
setting out onions. put an over.coat on

one predicting ~ thaw between now and

DECAY OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
According to the Hawaiian correspond
ent OF the New York Observer, the DO
pulation OF the Sandwich Islands is
rapidly decreasing under those influences
which many believed would have con-
trary effect. In short. civilization and
Christianity seem to have promoted
rather than hindered national decay, and
while the natives no longer Worship
idols or broil missionaries, and are bet
ter fed, better clothed and better shell.
tered than under tho ancient reoime.
they are dying out as fast as our own
Indians. In 1928. the native inhabi-
tants OF these islands numbered 142. 600.
in 1912, 130,3 800; in 1846. 1Os, 300: in
1850, 80, 400; in 1853, 73,1OO; in 1860.
90, 700; and in 1865. $4,000. In forty
years, 1t these figures be correct, there
has been an actual decrease Of one-half.
1t is stated that marriages are very rarely
followed by offspring; that even the
more Intelligent classes regard tho birth
OF child ss q misfortune, and that there
are many villages where not q single
child is to be seen. When the NATURAL
source of supply is thus strangely Ont
OF, it is no wonder that hamlets are
abandoned, houses empty, and the ira
veler can ride for miles through the
country without meeting or seeing a sim
gle human being. The causes of this
extraordinary change for the worse, we
leave to the investigation of those phi
ianthropists and psychologists who be-
iieve breeches and Bibles to be the grand
panaoea OF all the ills which flesh is heir
to. There are now about $500 Anglo
Saxons residing in tho Sandwich Islands.
and these are reinforced by 1,5OO Chi
nese. The latter, it is thonght, will
soon monopolize the agricultural inter-
ests of the country.

A CURE FOR HyDRoPHoB1A.-Aco cores.
pondent Of the Chicago Tribune states
that the poison from the bite of q mad
dog can be eliminated from the system
by vapor baths. He quotes from an
article printed in Paris medical jour
nal, by DR.. Buisson, celebrated French
surgeon, who says: ''H the disorder has
declared itself, ipresoribo single bath,
and leave the patient in until cure is
effected: Hydrophobia may last three
days. Experience has proved I'd me that
cure is certain on the fret day Of the
outbreak; on the second day, doubtful;
of the difficulty of conveying the
patient to the bath and keeping him in.
And as hydrophobia never breaks ont
before the seventh day, there is time
to perfarm long journey 10 obtain a
BATH"

struck Helms on the head with large

ty. James Thompson and Marcns d. L..
