steamships stored by a Finger.

Marvellous progress has been made in
marine architecture and equipment
within tho past few years. There was a
time whom the whcolhouse of a big
ocean steamer contained eight stalwart
men, who, in rough weather, would find
it almost herculoan task to manage
the wheel. Nowadays the light touch
of an infants hand upon the wheel is
of sufficient power to turn vessel com
pletely around. Huge boats arc now
steered by steam apparatus, which is
as quick and effective as the touch upon
tho ordinary electric button. -Philadel-

The Bridge Gave way.

LAMAR, Colo, June 3.-Last night 80
feet of the south end of the bridge
across the Arkansas river gave way be-
fore the food, and an hour later % feet
en- the north end was swept away. The
river covered all the bottoms and was
mile wide at the bridge. The Santa Fe
tracks, east and west, are submerged.
and at Prowers, seven miles west,
several hundred feet of track is
washed out. All the irrigation
canals are filed by the overflow and
some OF them have been broken in
many places. A number of farms along
the river have been greatly damaged by
the flood which washed out all the
crops. -Four passenger trains bound
west are held at the depot waiting for
the track to become passable. The
river is slowly falling and it is believed
the worst is over. 1t is impossible at
present to estimate the amount Of
damage done. The waite: reached a
higher point during the present food

New YORK, June 3.-The international

preliminary MEETINGS were held today.
At the principal meeting held this

There are many good men and intelli-
gent men who declare prohibition can

Night Air.

''It always amuses me-" remarked
DR.. 7. l.. Goodwin of Chicago, when
I hear people say that they are afraid
to have their bedroom windows open at
night, owing to the night air. What
other kind Of air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure air from without and foul
air from within. 1t has been proved
that large number Of the diseases we
suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with their windows shut. An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt any one. In large cities
the night air is the best and purest to
be had in any Of the "a hours, and it
would be great deal healthier to keep
the windows closed during the day than
at night The absence Of smoke, etc,
tends to make the night the best time
for airing the rooms. :"
