HAMBURG, August 27th.-A fire broke out
this morning in Steinerder, southern sec
ton of the city on the other side of the
river. The flames spread rapidly and soon
quarter of mile of warehouses and
other buildings were blazing. The shipping
in the docks was mostly pulled out, but
several vessels have been destroyed. 1t was
at one time feared the flames would cross
the river through the shipping and COM
mun:cate with the vessels here, in which
case, the loss would have been immense.
Happily, however, the wind changed and
that danger was averted. The efforts of
the firemen are confined 10 preventing the
spread of the flames 10 houses on the ter
races above the river. The loss thus far is
very heavy.
LATER-The fire is under control. Many
people perished in the flames. Six chsrred
bodies were taken from the ruins. The
losses to building and shipping are several

An Exclamation.

What is this "neryous trouble " with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember, a few years ago the
word malaria" was comparatively un-
known-to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language-yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times past
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called biliousness, and all are
caused By troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the liver, which, in per
forming its functions, finding it cannot dis
pose of the bile through the ordinary chan,
mel, is compelled to pass il off through the
system, causing nervous troubles, malaria
bilious fever, etc. You who are suffering
can well appreciate cure. Werecommend

A remarkable engineering feat has Just
been carried out in China in the face of
unusual physical obstacles. This was the
stretching of a steel cable of seven strands
across the Luan river by Mr.. A. de Linde,
a Danish engineer, aided only by un-
skilled Chinese labor. The cable is strung
from two points 4,G4s feet apart. The
height of one support is 447 feet above
the present level of the river and the Sec
ond support 737 feet above it. The vertex
over the water is seventy-eight feet. The
Chinese cable is the longest but one in the
world. The telegraph air cable across
the kistna has a span of 500 feet; two
similar cables cross the, Ganges, one 2, 900

JAPANESE
Tho Meaning of Some of the Figures Seen
on Jars and Fans.

- ASehAhb Va DohiS VI FTCSh
on Jars and Fans.
The creation was, according to ira
dition, brought about in this wise. In
the dim ages of the past there existed a
trinity who dwelt in space. Later came
other deities CKami), with separate
existences, and after seven generations
begotten from them, the creation, which
was confined to Japan, was decided on
and carried through in six stages, almost
similar to those in our Pentateuch, the
work being delegated to Isanaghi and
his sister, Isanami. From the goddess
sprang certain terrestrial deities, among
whom were Ama-terasu, the beautiful
goddess of the sun; Isukoyumi, the
goddess of the moon, and Susano, god of
the wind.
A story which finds frequent illustra-
ton IN Japanese art is hat of the quarrel
between Ama-terasu and her brother and
her consequent retirement to q a
whence she was inveigled by the dancing
of a goddess, variously named Okame,
Ouzoume, or Uzume. 1t is narrated at
length in Grifls' ''Mikado's Empire"
and Reeds Japan" and is one of the
fairy stories recently published In a de-
ightfully illustrated form as q child's
book under the title of "Yamata-no-
Orochi." Masks of the fair dancer are
to be found in every curio shop. The
features upon these masks are always
similar and have been handed down for
centuries-a narrow forehead adorned
with imperial spots of sable, pulled out
cheeks, dimpled chin and laughing coun-
tenance. One of them is usually to be
seen in every Japanese house. In her
full length figures she usually carries in
her hands q bundle of reeds and q dart
bound round with herbs and little bells.
Many ancient customs still exist which
originated in this quarrel, notably the go
hei, or branches adorned with bits of
silk and paper, which are hung in all
Shinto places of worship, the drum upon
which Ouzoume danced and the cocks
who now inhabit the precincts of the
temple, and which were then engaged to
attract Ama-terasu's attention by crow
ing in concert. So, too, the cord of rice
straw, which keeps away the visits of
evil spirits, and the sacred FURNISHED cir
cular mirror, wherein the goddess beheld
her likeness, and which is the origin of
the round mirror of metal which Japan
csc women still use as their only looking
glass. The dancing of Ouzoume before
the cavern is initiated in the pantomimic
dance still practiced in every japanese
village. Another frequent subject for
illustration is Susano killing the eight
headed dragon after he had induced him
TO partake of sake set in eight jars. His
exploit is depicted upon the bank notes of
the country. A sword, which he found
In the tail of the dragon, is one of the
three sacred emblems in the imperial re-
gala. He was the father of Dalkoku,
the god OF good fortune Art Journal.
