AN APPALLING CALAMITY.
Numerous German Villages
Washed Away by Floods.
Thousands of People Lose Their
Entire Possessions.

A special dispatch from abroad to the New
York Herald gives the following details Of
appalling disasters resulting from floods in
Germany:
The EIbe, Nogat, Vistula and Oder rivers
cover a hundred miles wide in many dis
tricts.
Forty villages and hamlets have disap-
Miles of railways are practically at the bot
tom of new lakes. Eight thousand persons
are homeless and ruined in circumstances.
Much Of the area can never be drained
again, and even midsummer must find
thousands of acres of farm land still sub
merged along the Elbe. Icebergs
formed in the river, dashing away
bridges, bikes and embankments-even
leaping these-crushing houses if they
were eggshells, drowning cattle and even
persons who were unable to escape the sud-
denness and velocity of the flood.
Not only were the rivers overfiOwn, but
melting snow from the land elevations added
new supplies of merging waters. An en-
bankment on the Nogat River near where it
empties into the mouth of the Vistula, a fine
piece of engineering work, broke like
thread, with the noise as of dozen Krupp
guns exploding.
Berlin newspapers, which were recently
occupied in sympathiZing with New Y ork on
account of its snow calamity, are now wholly
absorbed contemplating the devastation at
home.
The floods also extended further south. A
whole district, that called Bodrog, in North
ern Hungary, inundated, the rivers hav-
ing destroyed all dikes and swept away about
twenty villages.
Floods from the Szamos River have COM
pletely surrounded the town of Fehergyar-
mat, where numerous houses have fallen in
fifty villages of that district, which is con-
verted into heaps of ruins. and thousands of
the inhabitants are left without shelter or
food.
The high waters from the Thesis and
Szamos rivers, which have caused enormous
destruction of property on their way, have
now reached SZegedin, and the fat district
between Szegedin and Temesvar was threat
ened with submerSion.
The loss of property and lives it is at pre-
sent impossible to estimate, but it will
reach large proportions. Battalions
of engineers were despatched to points
along the Vistula and Elbe to rescue
the inhabitants of towns and villages. On
the Elbe fourteen soldiers were killed while
endeavOring to break an ice blockade by
blasting.
The Wharf.-The. a tributary of the Wis
tula, burst through it's entertainments
near the Russian frontier, and an inunda-
ton ensued that laid great part of the
military city of POSen under water The
waters flooded the entire district Detach-
mentS of soldiers were ordered to the lower
reaches of the river to blast the ice which
damned the floods
The distress is very great and promises to
be more severe than was at first imagined it
could De. Subscriptions to aid the sufferers
have been opened by the Berlin newspapers.
These papers also suggest that bill be
laid before Parliament Immediately granting
State assistance to the sufferers. many Of
whom have heen ruined by the unprecedent-
ed floods.

A Box on the Ear Lands a Trout.

Trout Creek is quite paradise for
anglers. The fish arc large, and become
quite plentiful when the waters of Like
Ainslie are sufficiently warm to cause
them to seek a cooler retreat in the flow
ing stream. Oae half OF the stories
which are toll Of the catches at this
place would fiji volumes, but none OF
these has yet reached the sublime height
c. what is claimed for a small lake near
Guysboro. The narrator's hero is him.
self He says that one winter, being
tired of salt beef and wanting trout for
a change he cut a hole in the ice on
the lake. He had evidently selected a
good day. for the fish took his bait so
rapidly that it was downright hard
work to keep pulling them cut. So
eager were they, indeed, that they
would jump for the bait before it had
even touched the water. Our
sportsman was an inventive genius
and decided to profit by this phcnome-
nal appetite. Getting down on his
knees, he dangled the bait about foot
above the hole and awaited further de-
velOpments. Almost Immediately a.fne
trout jumped for it, and promptly re-
cciv.d a dexterous box on the ears
which landed him far out on the ice.
So onumerous and so hungry were the
fish that the anglers hand was kept
constantly busy slapping them as they
jumped for the alIuring bit of red pork
which hovered over the opening in the
ice. Every slap yielded fish. This
continued until sheer fotigue put an end
to the novel pastime. A conservative
e,timate placed the qulntity of fish at
somewhat over four barrels II American
