A 2-months-old female child was
found in the alley between Eighteenth

from the cold and would have perished

by neighbors, whose attention was 1t.

was taken to- the residence of DR.. f.

as about that time previous to its
rescue parties were heard maneuver-
ing thereabout. Adjoining the
alley north is the residence of O.
M. c oudas. About 9 o'clock Mrs.
Cloudas' little son overheard 3 con.
versation apparently between . man
and woman in the alley. The man
was distinctly heard to warn his
companion or companions to keep
more silent. The boy informed his
mother of the strange proceeding,
but nothing of such an unusual ma
ture was suspicioned. and the matter
was given no further thought.
Baby's Cries Heard.
In the course of an hour afterward
Mrs. Cloudas heard cries seemingly
in the distance. They were weak
and sounded as though coming from

Eventually became so alarmed that
she aroused her neighbors. Mrs. w.
w. Rice, and DR.. Sala. With the
aid of lantern the party followed
up the alley way. Lying between
the barns on the premises of DR..
Sala and John Volk was found the
infant, whose head had melted a hole
in the snow and ice, on which it was
laid out to die. The little uncov-
cred hands were deathly cold
On the child's head was q
thin white bonnet, while the
body was covered with q white
cotton flannel wrapper. under which
was a red flannel cloak. with . red
plush collar and blue lining. The
garments were all too large for the
child and were evidently never made
for it.
The little one is still at DR.. Sala's
residence and the police are in search
of the parents. This morning two
girls inquired at DIR. Sala's and said
their mother. Mrs. Lloyd, of Four
teenth street, was anxious TO take
the child to raise.

the thing was easy to accomplish for the

Mrs. B., because seeing a light in the

DOE Opinion in the United States is
even divided as to the expediency of adj

object of any hostile feeling on the part of

tering wedge of European interference
with the American continent. In that
aspect she is always being presented to the

less. The bombardment of the seaboard
cities of the Cnited States by English

ton. Hence naturally arises desire on
the part of the Americans to create war

against the only power from which they
have anything to fear. People in Eng

How Molasses Roads Are Made.

1t may not DO generally known that a
novel use for the waste product of sugar
works has been instituted in Utah. The
Salt Lake Herald says: Roads are actually
being constructed with the sirups which
are valueless as sugar producers, tho life
having been extracted. The molasses is
used as cement, the body of the road be-
ing made up of fine gravel. The piece of
road that has been SO improved is as hard
as the best of macadam, and even the
heaviest loaded wagons do not cut it up
The sirups are first poured over the road
way to be improved, and then layer of
gravel is sprinkled on. More sirups and
gravel follow in their turns, until the road
is in perfect condition.
This making Of roads and walks with
refuse sirups from sugar factories has
also been successfully tried in California
At first the molasses showed tendency
to ooze up through the gravel, but the ap-
plication Of an extra coating of gravel
remedied this and made the road as
smooth as floor.

THE cELEBES VOLCANOES.
They Arc Said to Be the Most Dangerous
In the World.

"There are few people who know that
the south Pacific volcanoes are the most
destructive in the world" said to Rev.
Dr. William +. Houston. 81 have been
great student of these volcanoes, and have
spent much time visiting them. The vol
cano districts of the Bay of Naples and
Sicily are small as compared with those of
the northern peninsula of tho island Of
Ceebes, just to the east of Borneo, in the
south Pacific ocean. Vesuvius and Etna
are insignificant as compared with the vol
canic chain that studs this island region.
One or the other of the volcanoes in this
great chain is continually belching forth
streams of lava and grearStones, then fluid
clay that runs red, blue and gray. The
Donda, 5000 feet high, and the Sapoetan,
5000 feet, are the two greatest volcanoes
of the district.
Each of them has been in eruption sew
eral times during the last 100 years. We're
it not Il sparsely settled country the loss of
life would be great. Klabat, or Two Sum-
mits, another terrible volcano, is marked
by great lake in its cSater, and not far
away is Deuwa Doedara, Two Sisters;
still another is Lakon, which local tradi-
ton says is Inhabited by an evil spirit,
and from which there came terrible erup-
ton about 500 years ago that devastated
the entire district. All of the islands
around the north end of Celebes are vol
canic. The archipelago that leads to the
Philippean islands, to the north, is dotted
with active mouths of fire, important
among which is the superb pyramidal vol
cano Aboe, which, translated, means ash
es, and Gunova Aiva, which, in all proba-
bility, has been the most destructive vol
cano the world has ever known. These is
lands are owned by Holland. The people
are Malays and Alfooroos; the most civil
liked population of the coast being Malay,
the savage tribes of the interior, Alfooroos.
There are many tribes in Celebes, some of
Papuan, others Of Philippine origin. The
Bougis tribe also dominates. During the
present century thousands of the inhabit
ants of Celebes were buried beneath the
streams of hot ashes and lava thrown out
by volcanic eruption, utterly overwhelm-
ing them in molten sheets. All these is
lands are nevertheless a paradise of luxu-
RANT vegetation, and their virgin forests
have never felt the touch Of an AK. Kan
