sought shelter from the storm In the

were severely injured and two killed.
Under q restaurant, small frame
structure, three mere bodies were found.

Eight miles of the Texas and Sabine
railroad, north Of Sabine Pass, is
washed away. Twenty-Five hundred feet
Of the export pier at Port Arthur is
damaged and the people Of that town
were so terror-stricken that they are
now leaving it as fast as they can get
away. No damage estimate of property
at Port Arthur and Sabine Pass has
been obtained. The damage in the
country to the buildings and crops is
severe. The losses to farmers in Jeffer-
son county alone will approximate
$3.50, 900, which they wo1 I'd have had in

the well into the drinking-trsu so
that they can get 1t without trouble.
Gyp knows as soon as she sees hand
Of steers making for the trough what
they are after, and she starts pumping,
SO as to keep them from emptying II.
Her idea seems to be to keep the trough
full. In fact, she is unable to rest I'M
less she knows 1t Is In that condition.
Gyp has to work hard. Each stroke
of the pump brings up about quart of
water, and she has to make about six
jumps to do IT.; but when she feels like
working nothing stops her, and the
pumps make at least ten strokes a min
ute. or perhaps 500 gallons of water in
ten hours.
Gyp is the only dog on the ranch that
has ever liked the work. Others have
been tried, but it is always necessary
to lock them In to keep them from
jumping the job" Even Gyp's broth
ers always had business elsewhere
whenever they thought there was any
pumping to do.
There was one, to be sure, that was a
good worker in his own way. He used
to get so mad at being put in the motor
that he seemed trying to wear 1t out
for spite. He would run and run until
the axle fairly smoked, but as soon as
he saw that he couldn't do the machine
any harm, he curled up In the bottom
and went TO sleep.

midst Of a general silence n noise Is
heard, discordant sounds burst forth,
and the next moment all the il
struments are violently hurled from the
closet, to the great amazement Of the
terrified audience.
The performer, with proper SEM
blance Of anxiety, rushes forward and
opens the closet, and, of course, finds Ii

the spirits presence. For on the states,
which were of virgin purity when put

course have been penned by visitors

Live to a Good OLD Age.

Last year an old peasant named Ivan
Kouzmin was reported to have Travelled
from Moscow to Kief at the age Of 40.
He was said to be In good health. He
had formerly been coachman to Count
Sheremetief, but in 1910 was sent to
Siberia, where he spent fifty-four years,
returning In 1894. His Is not the only
instance in which a Siberian exile has
survived to extreme old age. Two years
ago there was said to have died In Sa-
mara one Lavarentii Efimoff, who had
attained the age Of $50. According t..
the newspaper reports of him he took
part as boy in the famous Pugatchef
rebellion In the reign Of Catherine the
Great. and for his share In that brief
but sanguinary outbreak spent thirty
years of his life in Siberia. Recently
there was said to be living in the vii
lage Of vank (Saratof government an
Armenian aged 40, the proud ancestor
Of ninety-one descendants, of whom
teventy-one were still living. His name
was David Kazarian. Another Armen-
Ian, a priest named Ter ikaeliantz,
was reported not long ago to be living
Mt Corr in the Caucasus at the age of
lOS. He was still able to walk to
church, and once a year performed the
liturgy. If recent history in the Turkish
empire continues to repeat itself such
Instances of longevity among Armen-
Ians seem likely to become rare.-Lon-

ders. The smokeless, moreover, re-
quires n smaller charge.
The term ''smokeless" Is not absolute
ly exact as a descriptive adjective. At
the moment OF discharge OF large qua

leaps from the muzzle sufficiently
opaque to obscure the view OF objects
on the further side. But the veil that
is thus momentarily flung before the
battery front is brushed aside In an in
slant by the slightest breeze. In fact,
1t seems to melt away In the air like
escaping steam on a frosty morning.
For practical purposes, therefore, 1t is
as good as smokeless.

turers In this country are the celebrated

Pumping Water by Dog-Power.

The San Francisco Call says that
there Is a dog-motor on a Swiss ranch
not very far from San Francisco. 1t
has been in use for two years, and is
found to be economical and In every
way satisfactory. 1t Is built on the
same plan as the exercise runs which
are often attached to squirrel-cages. In
short, 1t Is barrel, which rotates as
the dog inside of 1t runs. The power
thus generated Is communicated TO a
pump.
For more than a year this motor has
been operated by dog named Gyp.
and she really likes the work, and
knows more about pumping water than
half the men In the State. When Gyp
was first put into the machine she
knew just what she had TO do, and
started In Mt great rate. She ran SO
fast that she would have fallen from
exhaustion had she not been lifted out.
But as she has grown older ut the busi-
ness she has learned better.
But she likes the work as much as
when she started. At first size did not
know when to stop. She pumped and
pumped. until the tank ran over all the
time. In few weeks, though. she was
taught that all she was expected to do
was to keep the tank full, and now she
doesn't do any more.
When Gyp is taken to the motor in
the morning, she first looks into the
trough to see how much 1t lacks of be-
ing full. She then works accordingly,
and when she thinks she has done
enough, she runs out and takes look
at the trough. If 1t Is full she lies down
and rests. and If there are still few
inches remaining she starts again, and
does not stop until the trough Is run
ming over.
All the water that Gyp pumps Is for
cattle to drink. 1t flows directly from
