the fact that the volcano of Strom boli

are of volcanic origin. The inhabitants
of Milezzo continue in state of terror.

Reports from the province of Reggie
de Calabria state that zoo corpses have
been extricated from the ruins of houses
at San Procopio. Forty-cight bodies
were found beneath the ruins of the

Is said to be enormous. 1t Is estimated
the damage done to buildings at Palmi,
not counting the loss incurred in fur

were killed and over 800 injured.

ARGENTINE's CATTLE RANGE
Six Hundred Thousand Square Miles OF
Territory for Grazing Purposes.

Six Hundred Thousand Square Miles OF
Territory for Grazing Purposes.
1t is estimated that the pasturage
land of the Argentine Republic is about
600, 900 square miles in extent In other
words, it is larger than Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Italy, Spain and Portugal combined.
The really good agricultural lands OF
this republic cover an area about equal
to that of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Wisconsin, and are
capable of producing every crop grown
in those states. Yet even the cattle
which are marketed for beef are never
stall-fed, but are driven in lank and
tough from the pampas. A while ago
the Buenos Ayres Herald published the
following significant item:
"One of the prime necessities of the
times is the fattening of cattle for
meat. We have no beef worthy of the
name, while we have so many cattle
that we cannot count them. The other
day we heard of thousand young bull
locks which could not be sold for s11. so
per head; yet we have to pay very dear
in this city for the very poorest of meat.
The fact is that the cattle which reach
US are utterly unfit for food, but are good
candidates for feeding; and if those who
own lands near by would go into the
business of stall-feeding cattle for the
market it would not fail to prove profit
able. One reason for this assertion is
that the price of good beef is greater
here than in the United States, where
the price of land and of food is much
greater than in Argentina, and yet
where they find it a good business to
fatten cattle. 1t is time that we had
done with calling skin and bones beef. "
The price that animals bring in
Buenos Ayres fuctuates with the sea-
son, but averages about as follows,
reckoning in gold: Mich cows, $40 to
SIS; working oxen, SIG to s25; beeves,
$40 to SIS; working mules, $50 to s35;
working horses, SO to s25; harness
horses (native), s25 to $40; sheep, from
81 to $3.50, and goats about the same.

MOST BEAUTIFUL OF FEET.

EXtremities of Greek Statuarv.

Chose of Modern Americans Resemble he
Extremities of Greek Statuary.
The Greek statuary, much of it dated
centuries before Christ, seems to prove
that the Greek had feet much like
those of modern Americans.
The most beautiful of the Greek feet
are followed out we'll both inside and
out. They have short heels, high in
steps, and long, straight toes, slightly
spatulate at the ends. This is the type
of the most beautiful foot 1t is, on the
whole, a foot not frequently seen in its
perfection, for often one or the other
elements of beauty is wanting. The
rarest point of beauty is the following
of the outside of the foot 1t used to
be that the shoemakers' lasts were
made upon Greek principles, but for
several years lastmakefs have been
making a lump on the outside of the
last just above the point where the
slight hollow should be-
If any one would convince himself
that the hollow on the outside of the
foot is rare let him watch the prints
the seaside bathers leave when they
step on dry plank walk. Most of such
footprints show a greater or smaller
hollow on the inside of the foot, but
nearly every one shows a straight wet
mark on the outside. The sandalled
feet of the Greek goddesses in marble
are much like the feet of the modern
woman-at any rate of the modern in
FAINT before the feet have been modified
by leather shoes. All of the goddesses
have the fifth toe much smaller than
the others, and, in every instance, this
toe shows the snail-lil1e twist so often
ascribed to modern pointed shoes.
The ancient statuary, whether male
or female figures, shows often that con-
traction of the toes at the joints usually
ascribed to the wearing of short shoes.
Even the casts of ancient statues of
athletes show this popularity. A few
mummifed feet are modern in form,
though they usually show the effect of
the tight bandages wound about the
corpse.
Not only does art give small encoul.
agement to the idea that pedal deformi-
ties produced by footwear have become
hereditary, but the modern infant
bears testimony to the contrary. Per-
haps the feet of women suffer more
than those of men from injudicious
footwear, but infants seem to inherit
not the peculiarities of their mothers,
but only the structural form.-Argo-
naut.

Dover Chests of oIden Days.

In Holland the dover chest once
formed a part of every brides equip
ment. Less portable, but more slightly
than the Saratoga" trunk, it fulfilled
its purpose with grace and dignity,
passing down as an heirloom from
generation to generation. The modern
chest is an easy thing to secure, but
these the up-to-date girl holds in dis
dain; her chest must be really antique,
of carved oak, of English or Flemish
make, or deliberately inlaid with mar
oueterie of colored woods and dated or
initiated with figures and characters

There are very few of the genuine old

Some of the Changes Induced by His Won
derful Inventions.
The effect of Edison's work upon the
commercial and social progress of these
times has been very great how great it
will ultimately be it is impossible to
say. Selecting the electric light as the
most commercially important of all his
inventions it may be of interest briefly
to examine its history.
The announcement of the discovery
of method of subdividing the electric
current so that a number of lights
could be made to glow along one cir
cult from common source of power
almost precipitated panic 1t would
unsettle values, make coal, oil and gas
fields valueless, ruin gas companies
and throw thousands of men out of en-
ployment and reduce an enormous in
vested capital to mere nominal value.
The new light was not perfect and
then came a long delay in which the
then wizard" seemed to many minds
to be promising more than ever could
be fulfilled. Perhaps it was important
that there was this delay. 1t brought
people to right understanding of the
actual effect of the new light upon bus.
mess and society. Even now the cleo
trio light is just entering upon its COM
mercial stage. Universal as it seems it
is really only beginning to occupy the
field it may yet fill. 1t is only now
that we are enabled to see its effect
upon other industries.
Gas making has for long time been
one of the most conservative of all in
dustries. AS an industry it apparently
feared no competition, wished for no
improvements, and cared for nothing
but dividends, The electric light has
now forced this sluggish business to
bestir itself to consider improvements,
and to find new markets.
AS light, the electric is so superior
to the gas lamp that one is hardly to be
considered beside the other, so one
fades and must fade before the other.
Gas as fuel in crowded tenement
lodging city is the ideal fuel and it is
not surprising that the demand for gas
increases so rapidly. 1t prevents the
teaming of coal into the streets, it
keeps a rough, dirty matter out of our
homes, it saves labor and prevents
dust, keeps the atmosphere clear and
reduces the daily horror of the city ash
cart We hardly notice these things as
yet but they are destined to change
very greatly the character of our homes,
our streets, and cities and even change
the shape of our houses, and complete
ly alter the aspect of our streets. These
are but suggestions and hints of the
changes we are passing through to-day
under the influence of Edison's inven-

Tricks by Which Railroad Corporatlons

Would you like to get an idea of
how the railroads are victimized in all
directions" said the general passenger
agent OF one of the leading Chicago
roads. "If you would here is report
which is fair sample of what we re-
ceive every day."
The report referred to was that of a
spotter who had been sent out to make
trip over a certain section of the sys-
tenn, and lind what he could of any
crookedness that the employees of the
road might be indulging in. 1t read in
this fashion:

"Well, you must have made mis-

"'Oh! to be sure. 1 should have

"'But what do want with this?'
asked the conductor, holding out the
two silver dollars. Don't you want
me to tear off the full mileage?'

"'No, I guess not, said the con-
ductor; not this time, and he tore the
full mileage out of the book and passed
it, with the two dollars, back to the
drummer"
'Do you know what that drummer
was up to?" asked the general passen-
ger agent. ''He wanted to save dol

willing that the conductor should have

The railway company was to be de-
