FIRE At PANAMA.

The Town in Great. Danger of Being Com
pletely Destroyed.
PANAMA, June IA fire which broke
out yesterday afternoon has already de-
stroyed 100 houses and is endangering
fully quarter of all the buildings in
the city. A high wind is spreading the
flames. At o'clock the fire was not
under control. Residents living near
the burning quarter are panic stricken.
Scores of them are trying to move their
portable goods, but the confusion and
excitement are so great that they can
find no workingmen to help them.
At o'clock it was reported at the po-
lice station that about 225 buildings
were in ruins and the public market
was threatened. Thick showers of
sparks and brands fell throughout the
district where the fire started and thou
sands of persons were at work on roofs
clearing off combustible materials and
pouring water down the heated walls,
The wind blows a gale.
The streets leading from the burning
district are crowded with thousands of
workers and families trying to drag
their household gods to places of salty.
No full estimate of the loss is yet posi-
BILE. A vast quantity of merchandise in
shops and storage has been burned.
The losses on private houses has been
nearly as great. The present estimates
of the loss vary between $1,25O,OOO and
al. 900. 600.

MINERS OBJECT.
they Are Not Satisfied with the settlemsnt
Made by McBHlde.

=
Made by Mcbride.
COLUMBUS, O., June IA Dispatches
from mining towns indicate that the
feeling against accepting the settle
ment of the strike is everywhere strong.
A. A. Adams, president Of the Ohio
miners, who opposed the settlement to
the last and refused to sign it finally.
has undertaken campaign against it
and is addressing miners at the mining
centers, urging them not to accept the
settlement. He is very radical leader,
and holds theories closely bordering on
anarchy. The Straitsville miners, 1000
strong, say they will not go to work.
However, they have held no meeting to
consider the agreement. At Gloucester
5000 miners adopted resolution de-
claring the settlement premature and
declining to accept it. *rss
Secretary w. c. Pearce, of the Ohio
miners organization, said: II received
kilograms from Ohio and other states
calling for state conventions and de-
nouncing the action of the Columbus
conference. The matter is to be left
with the Ohio miners before they &C
cept the 65-cent rate. Officers and min
ers are against 60 cents"
President Mcbride said, when asked
whether it seemed probable to him that
the settlement would be accepted, that
he did not care whether it was or not.
AS an officer of the miners organiza-
ton he had labored earnestly and hon
estly for the miners interest. If they
wished to throw aside the result of his
work, that was their privilege. He
hoped, however, that when the miners
received the official statement of the
matter and had cooled down some what
they would conclude the thing to do
was to accept the conditions of the set
Element.

The Strange Faculty Possessed by Some
Reptiles Even When Decapitated.
Reptiles and batrachians usually pos
sess what may be termed the water To-
cation sense.
My attention was first called to this
by my brother, who, while engaged in
natural history expedition in south
eastern Texas, had what at the time we
both considered a unique experience
with large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised some
distance from the water, among the
sand dunes that line the gulf shore, and
ON being overtaken had its head chop
ped off preparatory to serving as very
toothsome addition to our diet. Much
to the surprise of the parry the behead-
ed animal continued on its way toward
the water.
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, bat every time it
was able to right its position perfectly
and again make directly for the water.
AT the time this was narrated to me

Since then 1 have had numerous

head and neck, in fact, apparently
works no inconvenience to them in this

to find, is not alluded to in any work
concerning them.

The Color of Man.

The color of the skin in the various
races of man has never yet been scien-
tifcally accounted for, although numer-
GUS NEUROLOGICAL stories have been told
and senseless theories advanced as rea-
sons for the remarkable variations in
hue. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color of the cuticle of
the primeval man, the original lord
of creation. - A pretty African legend
is that he was as black as the proven
bal ace of spades and that the present
pale color of the Caucasian race is the
result of the scare God gave Adam at
the time of the fall.
1t is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present black
race are descendants of one of Adams
sons that was born and left Eden before
the great change IN color overlook our
first parents. The Chinese believe that
the original man was a creature half
god and half man, and that his color
came about as a result of bathing in a
river of liquid gold. The Mussulmans,
the American Indians and several ORR
entail tribes and nations account for
their prevailing red or copper color by
telling the story of the great being Gre

College Girls and Marriage.

The question of what becomes of the
college girl is one Of very considerable
Importance, and with view to throw
ing some light on it an examination has
been made of the history of Vassar
graduates.
The result is interesting if not deci-
sive. Of the first "a graduating classes
at Vassar, embracing 867 members, 315
were reported as married, 305 as teach
ers, % as physicians, 80 as literary
workers and the rest as artists, book
keepers and so forth-fve of them being
farmers" and, let us hope, highly
scientific ones.
The main point is whether or not the
college girl is less available for matri-
mony on account Of her distinguished
qttainments The statistics seem to in
dictate that she is. Only SO per cent Of
marriages reported among graduates of
Vassar is not a record of which that in
stitution has reason to be proud. 1t is
said by experts. however, that these fig
