FLAGS at Half Mast.

the custom Of flying a flag at half
mast high as a mark Of mourning and
respect arose out of the old naval and
military practice of lowering the flag in
time a war as u sign Of submission.
The vanquished always lowered his flag,
while the victor fluttered his own flag
above it from the same staff. To lower
a flag, therefore, is a token Of respect to
ones superior and a signal of mourning
aud distress.

Water Column o. 600, 600 Miles Long.


The finite mind is utterly incapable
of framing an idea or of making a com
parison that will properly illustrate the
vast amount Of water now existing in
the five great oceans Of our planet. Let
us see: One gallon Of water weighs ten
pounds, and figures on the area and
depth Ct the Pacific show that there are
approximately 200, 600, 0O0, 600, 900 Of
such gallons of water in that ocean
alone. The Atlantic could be put down
in the basin Of the Pacific, and only fill
it One-third full. The Indian, the Arctic
and Antarctic oceans, combined with
the other two, would give an area for
the five Of 1l2, coo, 600 square miles.
Formed into Il circle this would make
an ocean ! 1900 feet i'll depth and 49,
900 miles from lank to bank. The
contents would he about 19j. 900. 600
cubic miles Of water. If a Standpipe
could lie built trUu the earth to the
sun, SO that we could have u column Of
water SO. 0U0, 600 miles III length, that
standpipe would have to be made 20
miles in diameter to hold the water now
contained III the five great oceans. 1t
has been figured that it would take
1900, 900 years for the water of the Pa
citic to flow over Niagara, the volume
being continually as great as that which
is now plunging over the falls st.

A Good Name for 1t.

The Flemish or Belgian people of
Teutonic speech, who are zealously
purifying their language of foreign
terms, have had the utmost difficulty
in settling upon a word for the bicy-
Gle. Some call it ''snelwei1," some
a ''yoetweil," some a trapweil;" but
the real scholars among them insisted
that it should be called by d word of
pure Flemish origin, which really
described it. This word is as follows:
''Geweilsneirijoett pden dneusbrek
ergestel.'
People in all countries who are
learning to ride bicycles should learn
this word, and use it freely whenever
their wheels run away or throw them
off. 1t is an entirely innocent and
harmless remark, and would at the
same time be powerful enough to ex-
press ones emotions on such occa-

An Early Sunday Fire.

Shortly before 5. o'clock last Sum
day morning flames were discovered
issuing from the Shelton building, by
Frank William SON and Rufus Drahan
and the alarm sounded. When the
hose team reached the scene smoke
and flames were lazily curling upward
| from the roof on the east side of the
! building, the fire having originated IN
| the room at the head of the stairway.
| A stream was soon brought to play on
the flames through the open stairway,
and the pipemen gradually worked
their way to the head of the stairs,
the strong stream knocking out the
fire at every turn, so it was under sub
lection in about ten minutes, and soon
after effectually stopped
This was accomplished by half
dozen firemen, nearly everybody, prob
ably considering the building past saw
ing deveting their energies to rernov-
ing the stock of Mcdonald & O'Neill
on the lower floor, and to throwing
out the contents of Drs. Beach'S and
H. S. Trenper's offices, up stairs. The
rooms of Dentist Hunter, who was
away to his ranch near Detroit, and all
contents were entirely destroyed. The
west side of the building, in which
the Tribune office is located, was only
slightly damaged by smoke and water.
The fire was undoubtedly set in some
manner, by a drunken man who was
deposited some hours before in va
cant room filled with loose papers, and
the one in which the fire started.
The building was insured for $1,000
and the stock of Mcdonald & O'Neill
for $4,000. The adjusters were at work
Wednesday and Thursday, appraising
the damage to the merchandise stock
by water and removal, which will
probably be placed between $500 and
$1,000, and the damage to the building
at about $3.50. Others who were
damaged have no insurance and will

receipts for it. Though he was anx-

difficulty of getting the deeds from ST.
Paul. Becoming impatient the east
