THE kUCHAN DISASTER,
Not n House Was Left Standing by the
Earthquake.

A special to the London Times from
Meshed says that the town of Kuchan.
in northern Persia. a brief account of the
destruction of which by earthquake has
been told in these dispatches. is heap of
ruins. Not a house is standing in the place.
The recovery of the bodies of those who per-
ished in the disaster is proceeding. The
odor from the ruins is horrible.
The dispatch adds that the shocks were
preceded by loud reports in the hills west
of the town. The shocks continued in the
place where the town stood and the vicinity
Investigation shows that the villages in the
neighborhood have suffered little damage
from the shocks.
Communication is suspended.
A project to build new town on a site
eastward of the old site is being discussed.

THE NEW SCHOOL.
The impressionist Style as PORTRAYED
In Foot Ball Sketches,

There Is a vast amount Of misapprehen-
sion on the part Of the public in regard to
the true ethics of foot ball, which accom-
panies the national bird on the national
day to furnish cause for Thanksgiving to
the medical fraternity. The prevalent idea
Is that 1t is sense of sport that leads men
into the fray and spectators into the mob
that watches 1t. There is a thought that
the American manhood and pluck are
showing themselves and that the love of
game" urges the spectators on to cheer
the valiant efforts of the struggling mass
OF players. This is mistaken thought.
1t Is probable that less than 10 per cent
Of the spectators are there for that reason.
They go because they have an eye for
beauty. The men go into the game for the
same reason.
The accompanying sketches that have
been built by The Star at considerable
expense demonstrate this fact beyond a
doubt. There is a grace of outline, a wild

Notes.
Homing-pigeon experts In the engineer
corps will be interested in the fact that a
Russian officer named Smoiloff is expert
menting with the purpose of substituting
hawks for pigeons for the carving of dis
patches. The bird. he says. has a more
rapid and prolonged fight than the pigeon,
which has never attained a speed of more
than ID miles an hour during a period of
10 hours. whereas this is the normal speed
of the hawk; and the hawk. moreover, will
carry weight of four Russian pounds
without his flight being sensibly impeded.
Moreover. says the Russian authority,
hawks are much less exposed than pigeons
to the attack of rapacious birds being them
selves q match for all but few.
