MISCELLANEOUS.

A RECENT storm at Burlington, Ia,
was the worst in years. Ten hours
rain fell in a solid body, flooding the
entire country. The Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroad suffered several
bad washouts between Burlington and
Creston which stopped all trains during
the day South Main street, Burling-
ton, was a running river three feet deep
for time. Much damage was done in
the city and surrounding country.
An explosion occurred the other day
at Alleur, Belgium, a village a short
distance from Liege, but fortunately
beyond the shattering of windows no
damage was done. Some one placed
two cartridges on a window sill
of the house of the burgomaster
of Alleur, but for some reason only one
of them exploded. The affair caused
great excitement in the village. A
German anarchist has been arrested,
charged with having caused the explo-
sion.

NJ J. LAJARD, who has been investi-
eating the well-known whistling lam
guage of the inhabitants of the island
of Conner, in the Cauaries, has come to
the conclusion that it is really the
Spanish language intensified by the aid
of whistling. In speaking the Conner
ian puts his fingers in his mouth, by
twos or fours, and blows with might
and main. The result is a mixture of
words and whistles unintelligible to the
tyro; but after little practice one can
distinguish the words of the language.
