steadily in this city. The lower districts
are completely submerged. In the
lower portions of the main street it is
20 feet deep. The shops and their

small part of the stock could De

trying to save the contents of
thirty or forty stores before the water
rises to them. The Brisbane River
bridge, which connected North and
South Brisbane, was swept away last
night. All the inhabitants are crowd
ing to the higher parts of the city. In
consequence Of the interruption of
railway and telephone communica-
ton, only scanty information about
the disasters in other parts Of
Queensland is obtainable. At Mary
borough, in March County, thirty per-
sons have been drowned. Most of the
town is under wateI. The Mary River
bridge, the largest one in the colony,
has been carried away. The town has
been deserted by two-thirds of its in
habitants. Tiaro, another town on the
Mary, is also under water.

gan falling. The city is still isolated,
however, and little news can be got
from near by towns. The list of dead

MOLES ON THE FACE.
A Disagreement Easily Removed with
the Aid of Electricity.

n Dlsus uFemenb Easily hemoVed with
the Aid of Electricity.
Il cannot tell you why so many
people wear moles on their faces, !"
said physician to a writer for the
Washington Star. 1t has always
been a mystery TO me. They are
certainly very disfguring. One often
sees a woman, otherwise cookbook
ing, with an unsightly excrescence
on her chin or lip, perhaps with a
tuft of hair growing out of it. Now
why should that be? There is GER
tainly no reason for putting up with
such a Disagreement nowadays. 1t
can easily be removed by well-known
surgical processes. If it were neces-
sary to resort to the knife the slight
scar left would be infinitely less ugly.
Such an operation is almost painless,
the mole being cut in two down the
middle and extirpated in moment
Incidentally, the hairs are removed
permanently by the destruction of
the follicles from which they grow.
But there is a simpler and better
method than that which can be usual
ly applied. A needle connected with
one pole of an electric battery is
thrust gently down into the center of
the excrescence. Then the current is
turned on for brief instant, heating
the needle white hot, and it DESTROYS
the root OF the mole. There is very
little pain involved. and it is all over
in a moment, Moles, like warts, are

The roots being destroyed the growth
is atrophied and quickly disappears.
never to return. Sometimes you will
see a mole in an advanced stage of
development, which is attached to
the skin only by very narrow neck.
To dispose of it is the simplest matter
in the world. Here is little instru-
mest, which, If you will observe,
consists of nothing more than q tube
main. The only way to extirpate
them is by the electric needle, which
is thrust down into the bottom of
each follicle a slight current destroy

to go to great expense to have ex-
cessive growths of hair removed
from their arms in order that they
might wear evening dress. Bru-
nettes are much more apt to be
troubled that way than blondes.

A meal can be had at fixed price,
