A "wreck chart Of the Great Lakes"
has been prepared and issued by the
United States Weather Bureau, show
ing the places at which the principal
shipwrecks upon the great inland seas
of this country have occurred during
the last seven years. These disasters
were l47 in number, and II description
of each is appended, with dates and
losses. These latter amount to
81, 955, ,595 and 257 lives. The object
of this graphic compilation is to show
what are the most dangerous points
along those coasts, information having
value both for the navigator and for
the government, which establishes
lighthouses and life saving stations.
The work 10 so valuable that one won-
dcrs that 1t has never been undertaken
before. This, however, it is under
stood, is only one Of the ways IN which
Professor Harrington, chief of the
Weather Bureau, has been extending

he directs to the enormous marine in

There is now conclusive evidence
that on the site of London there once
roamed the mighty mastodon, the elc-
phant, the rhinoceros and the hippo
potamus. In making excavations for
sewers, short distance from Regents
Park, workmen recently discovered
the tusks of mastodon and remains
of other prehistoric animals embedded
under three strata of earth, aggrcgat-
ing more than twenty feet in depth.
Similar remains have been found else
where in England and all over the
north Of Europe. Bones of such
carnivora as the lion and the tiger
have also been found far northward
in Europe, clearly proving, declares
the New York News, that wonderful
climatic changes have occurred ever
since the appearance of mamma
liam life on the earth.

1t is asserted that after this year the
United States will not only be able to
stop importing fruit, but will begin to
be factor in supplying the markets OF
the world. The estimate is that New
York will have 30, 900, 900 pounds of
fruit from California alone this summer.
Fast fruit trains now cross the continent
In seven days, and enable the growers to
harvest ripper product than heretofore.
Arizona and Oregon are coming to the
front as fruit states; Mississippi is getting
famous for tomatoes, and Florida oranges
and Georgia peaches are always sure of a
ready market. The outlook has never
been 80 promising.

parts of the world. The colony Is set
tied in Chubat Valley, which is about
forty miles long aud four broad, and

The Homestead War.

has made young Mr. Purmort phenomenon
even among hotel clerks.
The Homestead War.
The alLabsorbing topic here, as elsewhere.
has been the labor troubles at Homestead
Pa. OF course everything has been quiet
there for week or more, but the papers
would have us believe that 1t is only the
calm which precedes the storm, and that the
country at large is on the verge of an out
break which will cOnvulse the world.
There is evident discomfort among
wage-earners the globe over, and
this is likely to grow as Intelligence spreads
among the working classes, but there is
nothing to be gained by brute force and the
law must be respected at any cost. The
working classes comprise vast majority of
this country, aud when they are educated up
to their political possibilities as voters, they
may hope for better condition of things,
but notuntil then. II. c. Frick, chairman of
the Carnegie SSeel Company, is
a determined man, and was once
in the condition Of the men whom he is now
fighting. Twenty years ago he was poor
man, making coke on small scale In the
Connellsvile coke region; but In time he be-
came the king of that industry and locality.

OF the coke husi-,ss to ;-Nr ~ rtnrers
