An English traveller relates that he
was once on the road with a company
OF native followers, when there came
on n shower. As the rain ceased a
brilliant rainbow appeared. At this
all his ervants covered their mouths
with their hats to escape the poisonous
vapors which, as they declared, are al
ways given forth by rainbows.
The Englishmau, as a matter of
course, laughed at their foolishness, and
kept his hat on his head.
The curious feature of the adventure
was that when he had gone only a few
hundred yards he was by some coinci-
dence seized with a sudden fit OF vom-
iting.
He received no sympathy, and with
out doubt his misfortune will long be
cited in that neighborhood as fresh
proof of the rainbow's baneful infu-
ence.

HUNDREDS KILLED.
Martinique's Disaster Fearful
Over Two Hundred Victims
in the Towns on the
COast.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Additional de-
tails received here this morning
from st. Pierre, capital of the island
of Martinique. which was visited by
a terrible hurricane Tuesday night
shows that the facts already publish
ed are not only i'll no way eXaggerat-
ed, but that they did not tell the full
story of the disaster.
The number Of dead was original
" estimated at sixty with hundreds
of injured, but the latest dispatches
received here announce that 1lS peo-
pie are found to have been killed in
the coast towns alone, while the to-
tal loss of life is estimated at over
400 at the lowest while the injured
number over 1000.
The towns in the interior have
not been heard of as yet, but there
is no doubt that the loss of life IN
the interior may have been as great
if not greater than in the coast
towns, SO it is impossible at present
to even make an estimate OF the
number of people who lost their
lives through the cycloneic disturb
ance which brought so much ruin
and desolation to the unfortunate
island.
The difficulty experienced III form
inc correct estimate rs to the mum
bey of victims is due to the fact that
the reads leading into the city are
absolutely impossible. These are
blocked in some instances for sever
nj miles by fallen trees and displac-
ed rock and earth. Several days
may elapse before the governor Of
Martinique is able to give the home
government detailed account If
the disaster. 1t is known, however.
that houses, crops and trees, etc,
from one end of Martinique to the
other have have been demolished be-
youd hope of recovery. The loss to
the coffee and sugar planters viii he
very great.
