Land Slides at Niagara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS. n. Y, May H.-It
has rained continuously for four days and
the creeks emptying into the river are
overlooking their banks and doing consider
able damage. Gill creek has flooded the
entire Echola district, a suburb of this
city. Streets are under water and cellars
are full. Residents are moving about on
RATS. Muddy Run creek on the Canadian
side was a raging torrent, weakened and
carried away parts of bridges. A portion
OF Hennepin point in Prospect Park fell
away and came near carrying a large OBJ
servation platform with il. Another piece
of the bank went down near the point.
Some three hundred feet of bank slid into
the river on the Canadian side down near
the whirlpool. There have been repeated
landslides along the central Lewiston
branch and gangs of track walkers are
watching the tracks and keeping them
clear of rocks and earth.

EASTON, Pa. May H.-The Lehigh and
Delaware rivers are rising rapidly The
Lehigh Is higher than at any time since
1889. The people living along the banks of
the latter stream have been compelled to
move all their goods to a place of safety.
The water has undermined the foundation
walls of the Bushnell Manufacturing Com
panys building at Odenweld, and other in
dustrial plants along the Lehigh are threat
ened. Tonight five hundred feet of the
wall of the large basin of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company's canal at the
mouth of the Lehigh valley, through which
boats pass into the Delaware division
canal gave way and fell into the Delaware
river, and the great body of water thus let
loose caused the Lehigh river TO fall fully
two feet. The stream shortly afterwards
began TO rise again, and more trouble is
apprehended.

An Ingenious Expedient,

One of the most ingenious expedi-
ents for overcoming the difficulties of
sinking shafts for mining or other
purposes in wet measures" is the
freezing process" Supposing that
the bottom of the shaft is SO continu-
ously flooded that the miners are un-
able to use their picks or in any way
proceed with the excavation, pipes are
run down from the surface to the
flooded locality, and through these
pipes is forced a powerful freezing
mixture. The consequence is that the
impeding water becomes solilited, and
the workman can quarry his way
through the ice, which now becomes a
protection from the body of water be-
yond, and the sinking of the shaft can
be continued. Chicago Herald.

Pictures by an Armless Painter.

A remarkable art exhibition is an.
nounced at Bristol. 1t is an exhibi.
tion of thirty paintings by Mr.
Bartram Hiles, an artist who, while
quite boy, met with an accident by
which he lost both arms. Having
from childhood shown a strong dis
positian and love for drawing, he
was taken in hand by some artistic
friends and taught to draw, holding
the pencil in his mouth. After a
time he became student at the
Merchant Venturers' Schools, and
studied so assiduously that he won a
National Scholarship, value s1O4,
which also carries the privilege OF
studying at the National Art Train
ing School at South Kenslngton for
two years, during which time he also
won one national silver medal and
two national bronze medals. In con-
sideration Of his having won these
honors, the authorities at South Ken
sfngton sent him to Paris for some
months to study at the museums,
paying all his expenses. The armless
painter at Antwerp is well known;

DEATH ON CHOLERA GERMS.

Tobacco Soon Destroys tho BacIli of the
Deadly Oriental Plague.
Some interesting investigations
have been made on the vitality of
cholera organisms on tobacco by
Wernicke, says Nature. Small pieces
of linen soaked In cholera broth cul-
lures were rolled up In various kinds
of tobacco, and the latter were made
into cigars. At the end Of twenty
four hours only few bacilli were
found on the linen, and none on the
leaf. On sterile and dry tobacco
leaves, the bacilli disappeared in one
half to three hours after incubation.
On moist, unsterillzed leaves they
disappeared in from one to three
days, but on moist and sterile leaves
In from two to four days. When
introduced into per cent tobacco
infusion (ten grams of leaves to 200
grams of water), however, they re-
tanned their vitality up to thirty
three days, but In more concen-
trated infusion lone gram of leaves
to two grams OF water) they sue
cumbed In twenty. four hours. When
enveloped in tobacco smoke they
were destroyed, in broth cultures, as
well as In sterilized and unsterilized
saliva, in five minutes. Another au-
thority describes a series of expert
ments in which he prepared broth
cultures Of different pathogenic mi
crobes, and conducted through them
the smoke from various kinds of to-
bacco. Out OF thirty three separate
investigations, in only three were
the cholera organisms alive after
thirty minutes exposure to tobacco
fumes. But In actual experience the
apparent antlseptic properties Of to-
bacco have not frequently been met
with; thus, during the influenza cpl
dcmic in 1889, Nisalli mentions the
remarkable immunity from this dis
ease which characterized the opera
tives in tobacco manufactures; that
in Genoa, for example, out of 1900
work people thus engaged, not one
was attacked; while In Rome the
number was so insignificant that the
works wee never stopped, and nc
precautions were considered necessary.

Two STUDENTS OF Princeton Col
lege were lately fined $50 for ill-treat-

good effect of this action is the in
comprehensive remarks of the Judge
when the students were brought be-
fore him. He objected to the con-
sideration of such case-, and said
that the college authorities ought to
have punished the students without
calling in the aid OF the law. 1t is
just this idea that college students
are not like ether citizens amenable
