A GREAT STORM
Much Damage Done Along the Allan
tic Coast

Much Damage Done Along the Allan
tic Coast.
A great storm which ragged in New York
and vicinity for two days spread devasta-
ton in its track. The tidal wave
CT ated by the easterly and northeasterly
gales rolled up over the coasts Of New Jersey
and Long Island, running property to the ex-
tent of tens of thousands Of dollars. 1t united
with the downpouring rain TO inundate the
streets of New York and the adjacent cities,
wherein there was also serious damage to
property. In New orl the tide was the
highest ever known, and many cellars were
flooded.
A full rugged ship was wrecked on the Jer-
sey coast at Ocean Beach, and one sailor was
drowned. The randed schooner Peacedale
went to pieces. The roadbeds Of nearly all
the railways leading out of New York were
moro or less damaged. Coney Island was
cut in two by the high tide. Several bad
washouts are reported. The passen-
gers Of train crossing the
Newark meadows became panic stricken
when the engine Of their train was derailed.
They had to be rescued in rowbosts from the
surrounding waters. Among the New Jersey
summer resorts the destruction was heavy,
many cottages and bathing houses at Long
Branch, Seabright, Asbury Park and other
places being washed away.
Travel was delayed everywhere; telegraphic
communication was impsded; business was
brought almost to a standstil; loss, trouble
and discomfort were the order Of the day.

Studying HydrOphObIa.

A French writer in an article describ-
ing the methods of NJ. Pasteur, the
French scientist who has discovered
cure for hydrodhobia, says: Biting dogs
and bitten dogs fill the laboratory. With
out reckoning the hundreds of mad dogs
that have died in the laboratory during
the last three years there never occurs a
case of hydrophobia in Paris of which
Pasteur is not informed. Not long ago
q veterinary surgeon telegraphed him;
"Attack at its height in poodle dog and
bulldog. Come" Pasteur invited me
to accompany him, and we started,
carving six rabbits with US in basket.
The two dogs were rabid to the last de-
gree. The bu ldog especially, an enor-
nous creature, hOwled and fOamed in its
cage. A bar of iron was held out to
him; he threw himself upon it, and
there was a great difficulty in drawing
it away fran his bloody faugs. One Of
the rabbits was then brought near to the
cage, and its dropping car was allowed
to pass through the bars. But notwith-
standing this provocation the dog flung
himself down at the bottom of his cage
and refused to bite. Two youths then
threw a cord with slip loop over the
dog as a lasso is thrown. The animal
was caught and drawn to the edge Of
the cage. There they managed to get
hold Of him and secure his jaws, and the
dog, suffocating with fury, his eyes
bloodshot, and his body convllsed with
a violent spasm, was extended upon
table and held motionless, while Pasteur,
leaning over his foaming head at the
distance of fingers breadth, sucked up
into a narrow tube some drops of saliva.
In the basement of the veterinary
surgeons house. witnessing this fermid-
able tete-a-tete, I thought Pasteur
grander than l had ever thought him
