The Worst That Has Visited Vene-
zuela In Forty Years.
LAGUAYRA (Venezuelal, Oct. 10.-The
most disastrous storm the city has ex-
perienced in forty years swept down the
SiIla de Caracas mountain last night. The
damage done is great, and spreads over
wide area. 1t is feared there has been
great loss OF life. Only meager details
have so far been obtained, but it is known
that the Mountain railroad which con-
meets Laguayra with Caracas has been
completely destroyed. All communica-
tion with Caracas is cut of.
The late acting President and Cabinet,
who have been in hiding here since
Crespo and his forces captured Caracas,
have been taken to Curacao, where they
cannot be reached by the insurgents.
They were conveyed thither by Spanish
and French warships.

British crops published in its columns,

whole is that the present year will be
disastrous for the British farmer. The

which compelled the State to call out the
militia to overthrow the government set

mattered not, the court said, whether the

AIexander,s Death Mask.

When Hamlet said that Alexander
died, Alexander was buried, Alexander
returneth TO dust, he overlooked the
fact that Alexander's dust, instead of
being converted into loan to stop beer
barrel, was preserved from corruption
by the process of embalning and from
external injury by being cased in the
most precious of metals. Pettigrew, in
his History of Egyptian Mummies, says
of the death mask of Alexander that lit
was a sort of chase work. and of such a
nature that it could be applied so closely
to the skin as to preserve not only the
form of the body, but also to give the
expression of the features to the coun-
tenance."
He does not quote his authority for
this statement, but it is unquestionably
derived from the account of the death
and burial of Alexander written by
Diodorus Siculus, who said: "And first
a coffin of beaten gold was provided. so
wrought by the hammer as to answer To-
the proportions of the body. 1t was half
filled with aromatic spices, which served
as we'll to delight the sense as to prevent
the body from putrefaction." Then fol-
lows description of the funeral chariot
and of the long line of march from
Babylon TO Alexandria, where Augustus
Caesar saw the tomb 800 years later, but
there is no reference to mask of Alex
