Cloud Bursts Cause Death and De
struction in the Canyons of
Colorado-TwentyP Peo-
Pile Killed.

DENVER. July 22.-At midnight last
night occurred terrific catastrophy that
has temporarily isolated the towns up
Clear Creek canyon from intercourse with
the world. At that hour there was an inn
mense cloudburst near the forks Of the
creek pouring a deluge of water within
the narrow walls of the canyon.
1t completely demolished the two iron
railway bridges at the forks, and, as far
as can be learned, annihilated all other
structures in the vicinity. The restaurant,
the depot and all outhouses were swept
away in the flood. Fortunately, il is be-
lieved that no lives were lost. The inn
mense body Of water laden with wreckage
went tearing down the canyon with the
result that to-day from the Forks To
Golden there is scarcely a vestigc of the
railroad left. The greater portion of the
roadbed y washed away and means of
communication are destroyed.
After the cloud burst n furious hail
storm set in and now il is reported that
hail a foot deep is lying in the canyon.
At IL o'clock this morning a train
loaded with bridge timbers and conveying
300 men left Denver for the scene of de-
struction. II will be about three days be.
fore the road is repaired.

secondhand store by Solomon Menski,

house. IL was discovered on fire mt II
o'clock. Before the fire department ar
rived several policemen did good work In
getting the unfortunate inmates out of the
building. As soon as the firemen ar
rived the work was vigorously pros
ecuted; but when the flames were
extinguished, il was found that Solo
mon Menski and wife, and their two
young children were dead, and Gus Hitz-
well. Eva Messes and Mary Kasseneur
were seriously, probably fatally, burned.
Menskis family occupied the rear end
of the second story, directly over where
the fire Is supposed To have started. Peo-
pie on the third and fourth floors for the
most part fled to the roof, but several
were taken out by the firemen. Some of
them were unconscious when found, hav-
ing been overcome by the smoke. The
rickety pine stair case which was one OF

the ruins are thoroughly searched, il will
not be known positively whether or not

dregs, and when it requires only one mo 3
effort of courage to await the end. Still,
something ssdder than the suicide of an old
person is the suicide of child. 1t fills the
heart with the most profound pity. Before
q child kills itself it must have felt the sor-
rows Of man; and We vainly try to conceive
sll the abominable workings of that young
brain, ending in the conclusion that death
is inevitable. It is hope destroyed; 1t is
the tree cut off at the root-life out
ragged and disowned. The scourge has fallen
even upon the children. One Door little
fellow, 10 years old, drowned himself be-
cause he had been dismissed by his em-
ployer, and dared not 90 home to his parents,
who would beat him. Another boy hanged
himself from jealousy, because people pre-
ferred his siste- to himself. Lastly, school
boy II years old knotted the fatal cord about
his neck without any apparent reason. 1t
was perhaps death from philosophy, De-
cause life had already become weariness.
What burden this life is! How eagerly
men cast it aside? The very street arabs
will have none of it. They kill themselves
in contempt of its joys, without even wait
ing to know them. The aged are filled
with regret for having lived, and refuse to
live longer. All go together in the same
loathing for existence, and with but the de-
sire for the quiet rest of the cemetery,
where the May sun warns the graves.

OSTRICHES IN AMERICA.
The Birds Brought to CaIifornIa-PopulaF
Errors DispeIled.

Errors DispeIIed.
st. Nicholas.1
There are certain old traditions about the
ostrich which, 1 have been told by the
owner of the CaliforniA ranch, are falla-
cious. He says that the ostrich does
not bury his head in the sand
and imagine he is unobserved by his
enemies. On the contrary, he is q very
pugnacious bird and always ready for a
fight. Nor does the female ostrich lay her
eggs in the sand for the sun to hatch them.
To do them justice, they are quite domestic,
and deserve better reputation. Nor is the
ostrich ever used for riding, as he has an
exceptionally weak back; any person might
break it with q blow from any ordinary
cane.
The % birds brought to our California
ranch trusted to their instinct and laid their
eggs during the California winter, which
correspouded to their summer south of the
equator. 1t being the rainy season, their
nests were filled with water and the eggs
were chilled; so the first season of their
American sojourn was a failure. The
ostrich makes its nest by rolling in
the sand and seooping out hole about six
feet in diameter, and, excepting an incubator
house, the California ranch requires no
buildings for the use of the birds, though
the land is divided off into pens fenced in,
each about an acre in extent, for the use or
the breeding birds, every pair occupying
one such inelosure.
The ostriches live upon alfalfa and corn.
Alfalfa is a grass cultivated all over the
ranch; it resembles our clover, and grows
to a crop SIX times a year.
