The Natural Bridge of Virginia.

The Natural bridge of Virginia is stu
ated in ROckbridge county and spans the
mountain chasm in which flows the little
stream called Cedar creek, the bed of which
is more than 200 feet below the surface of
the plain. The middle of the arch is 70 feet
in perpendicular thickness, which increases
to 60 at its juncture with the vast abut-
ments. 1t is go feet wide, and its span is
almost 80 feet. Across the top is public
road. For many years the name of Wash
ingtOn, cut in the rock forming one of the
abutments when the Father of His Country
was a lad, stood high above those of all
others, but in 1918 a student of Washing
ton college, Virginia, Piper by name,
climbed from the foot to the top of the
rock and placed his name above that of
Washington

Cancer and Longevity.

toft Mr.. Jonathan Hutchinson read a pa
per on Cancer" on which he is the great
est European authority. 1t seems that this
disease specially belongs to old age, and
its increase of recent years is attributed by
Mr.. Hutchinson to the Increasing longevity
of the present time. Sheep and oxen never
suffer from it. They are killed before it
comes on. Horses seldom. Donkeys, who
live to great age, frequently are attacked
by it, and it is one of the most common
causes of death among cats and dogs who

BISHOP POTTER has joined the Bur

to bring about the "earth to earth"
condition as rapidly as possible, and
therefore the members are buried in
wicker or soft wood collins that
moulder quickly. 1t is sentimental
but unhealthy principle, the assoc
ciatien holds, that the remains Of our
loved ones should be preserved as

SUICIDE may have been just as
common in this country at some pre-

the newspapers never harvested such

Heavy Damage to Property at

AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug. 30.-A special to
The Chronicle from Port Royal, S. c.,
brings the startling information that
fully 100 lives have been lost at Port
Royal, Beaufort and neighboring points
during the storm. Over 25 Of these
were seen by the correspondent and his
information was received by others
from reliable sources. Of the 100 per-
sons killed and drowned only six were
white, the others being negroes who
were so frightened and terror stricken
that many were killed and drowned by
not leaving their cabins to seek places
of safety. Twenty persons were
drowned on Paris island. No news has
been received from St. Helena, four
miles from Beaufort. It is believed 25
lives were lost between Port Royal and
Seabrook, all negroes. Every house III
Beaufort and Port Royal was damaged
to some extent and number of barges
and crafts were destroyed and blown
ashore. The total losses are estimated
in the neighborhood of half million
dollars

Very Little Communication Between

CHICAGO, Aug. 80. "A general storm
in midwinter could scarcely have
wrought more damage to the telegraph
companies than did the gale Of Monday
night. Business between the entire
distance Of the Atlantic states and this
city is nearly paralyzed. The great
network of wires Of the Western Union
company suffered to an alarming ex-
tent. In places east of Buffalo and
along the Baltimore and Ohio to WASH
ington the ravages of the storm are
responsible for
Wholesale Destruction of Wires.
Line repairers fairly swarm over the
storm swept territory and the informa-
ton comes from the western side Of
this zone of destruction that their work
is going to be the most difficult in years.
Poles are down in stretches Of five miles
and the wires are snapped, bent and
lashed into useless tangles of inextrica'
BILE puzzles. Occurring, as it has, when
the eyes Of the West are most directed
upon the capital. and when the pulse of
trade has to stand still, because of the
absence of electrical tingle, the work Of
the storm is more keenly felt.

Details of the Extent of the Storm Is
Not Yet known.
New YORK, Aug. 30-The violent
storm which swept over the city and
surrounding country from midnight
till = a. m. bore close resemb mblance to
the hurricane which worked such
havoc a few days ago. Like that
storm, this one had its origin in cy-
clone that arose IN the West Indies and
then swept along the Atlantic coast in
northwesterly direction. While the
other, however, only skirted the coast
along the Gulf stream, scarcely pene-
trating inland, this one, since it swept
over Florida on Sunday, had its storm
center well inland, and reached out in
every direction for more than 1900
miles. As almost all telegraphic con-
nections are broken, the signal bureau
is unable to give complete report Of
the storms course, or of its exact di-
rection. but from the local observations
it was surmised that the cyclone has
gone westward and would probably
make its way out to sea through the
st. Lawrence valley.
