Lake Benton, Mimi, was visited by
the most destructive hail storm Thurs
day that was ever known in that vi
cinity. At 4:3O the storm suddenly
struck, and for the next ten minutes
the air was thick with hail stones,
many of which weighed four ounces.
Nearly every pane of glass on the
north and west sides of buildings
was broken. The probability is that
81 600 will not more than pay for the
broken glass. In the county everything
in the shape of uncut grain in the path of
the storm was annihilated. A terrible
rain and hail-storm passed over Fulda,
Mimi. Hail larger than goose eggs
poured down for half an hour, break
ing hundreds of windows and stripping
leaves and small branches from the
trees. Farmers report corn and flax
badly damaged. Most of the wheat,
oats and barley has been cut. What
was standing will not be a one-third
crop.

A Negro Messiah.

The so-called Negro Messiah, who
has been attracting such attention late
ly in London, preached Sunday in st.
Pauls. A large audience listened with
great attention. He delivered strong
and earnest sermon, and his frequent
illusions to the Negro race and the part
they had played in the world We're
pointed and evidently effective. In
fact, his sermon was largely plea for
the admission of the descendants of
Ham to an equal place in the Christian
world

THE GREATEST MEAT.gATgRs.
They Are to BE Found Among the Aus
tralian Colonists.

tralian Colonists.
Vegetarians may be interested to
know that the Australian colonists
are the largest consumers Of meat in the
world, the average being 276 pounds per
annum for each adult. The average
consumption in the United States is 100
pounds, and in the United Kingdom 1O5
pounds, and among the continental
nations the average is lower still. There
is said to be moral in all this for the
Australian meat eater. 1t has been held
that animal food in excess is not slim
ulator of the intelligence nor sharp
ener of the finer faculties. Social OBJ
servers are given to pointing ont that
the population of the Australian colo
MES is already assuming a larrikin type
beef fed and given to violence of Ian
guage and behavior and with no re-
deemin9 virtues. tits also said that the
colonies ARE developing a type addicted
TO sport and horse racing, and incapable
of taking any sustained interest in art
or literature or public affairs. Prophetic
hints are given of future Australia
peopled by excitable dyspeptics with
characteristics tempered by love OF
outdoor sports; All this will be due to
an overindulgence in meat diet. The

Hss The Coal of Great Britain.

1t appears that about 1900, 900 tons
of coal per year is the amount yielded
by the chief coal districts OF Great
Britain-Newcastle South Wales and
Clyde country-and, assuming fhis to
represent the average consumption for
many years to come, it is estima:hd that
the British mines will be exhalrted in
less than six hundred to eight hun
dred years. 1t is further calculated
that, drawing upon only one of her
fields, the Westphalian, Germany will
not exhaust that before the end of tho
twenty-seventh century, but that by
the beginning of the year 5000 the big
coal fields of Bavaria and the Aachen
and the Silesian districts will also be
entirely used up. What will Europe do
for fuel then? Fall back on the timber
supply, of course. But the timber will
also be a thing of the past. At the rate
the woodmap is now denuding the face
of Europe, the twenty-ffth century will
find fuel tree rarity The Black
Forest, the chief timbering region of
Europe, has suffered more in the last
ten years than it did in the two hum
dred years preceding What is it TO be

The word mausoleum is from Mausolus.
the name of a king of Caria, in Asia
Minor On his death, B. c. 353, his
widow, Artemisie, who was also his
sister, erected so magnificent a tomb
that it was accounted one of the wonders
of the ancient world. 1t was in Halicar-
nassus, on the site of the present Turkish
city of Boudroum, and for 1900 years
was to the ancient and madleval world
what the Tai Mshal is to the modern. 1t
was destroyed in the Twelfth century by
an earthquake, and its site was forgotten
until 1404, when the city was occupied
by the Knights of St. John, and accidental
discoveries led to excavations. During
the present century the sarcophsgus of
Mausolus ard that of Arsemisia have been
discovered, also the statues of both and
many bas reliefs and fragments of marble
ornamentation.
The ground plan has been distinctly
traced, the area being 100 by 126 feet.
The monument consisted of u basement
sixty-tive feet in height, on which was
an Ionic colonnade twenty five feet high,
above which rose a pyramid with the
statues of MausOlus and Artemisia at the
summit. The total height is 40 feet.
The Investigations and excavations were
carried on about the middle of this
century under the aus ic=s OF the British
Government, and the sculptures dis
covered are now in the British Museum.
