In the Century there is an article on
"Knotty Problems of the Philippines"
by Prof. Dean G. Worcester, of the Uni
versity of Michigan. Prof. Worcester
says:
Manila is the only place where re-
liable temperature records have been
kept; and while no one place can be
taken as representative of the whole
archipelago, the results obtained at the
capital are not without interest. The
average temperature for January is X

March 81 degrees, for April SO degrees,
for May 81 degrees, for June 80 degrees,
for July 81 degrees, for August 81 de-
grees, for September 70 degrees, and
for December II degrees.
The average daily temperature for
the year at Manila is 80 degrees. 1t
will be noted that the lowest average
temperature occurs in December and
January, and is II degrees The ode

degrees. There is no month in which
the thermometer does not rise as high

that the air is charged with moisture

RUIN IN THE CAPITOL
A GAS EXPLOSION DOES GREAT
DAMAGE.
Supreme Court Chamber Wrecked and
the Valuable Library Injured Be-
yond Repair-Maria Teresa Lost in
GaIe-EIeven Killed at Detroit.

An explosion of gas in the basement of
the capitol building in Washington Sun
day afternoon completely wrecked the
Supreme Court room and the room adj
joining, and many valuable books of the
Congressional law library were destroyed.
This library contained 10000 volumes
and its value was placed at $1,000, 600.
The historic Supreme Court room,
which was formerly the Senate chamber
Of the original capitol building. is a COM
plete wreck. The busts of Chief Justice
Marshall and others who have presided
over the highest court il. the land are
ruined, and the court will for time have
to be provided with a temporary home
There have been other fires in the capitol
building in the past, but none so destruct-
i've as this.
The explosion that started the fire was
of terrific force. 1t shook the old north
wing and tore asunder the foundation
and basement walls until apertures in
places are sufficiently large to receive the
open hand. The furniture and hangings
of the Supreme Court were destroyed and
the law library damaged, but mostly by
water. 1t will also require close exam
ination Of the library to place the damage
there. OWlHS TO the lacL luaJ the Wills
of the building are of masonry the fire
had nothing but the woodwork of furni-
ture and fittings to feed upon, and was
soon extinguished in the upper floors. In
the basement there was 4 raring volcano
of fame, which seemed to be fed by gas.
The office of the marshal of the SUI
preme Court suffered most. The floor was
completely blown out of this room. The
law library consisted Of $4,000 volumes,
many of them legal books of rare value,
and large percentage of the volumes
cannot be replaced. The collection is es
timaled to be of the value of 81 100000
for such of these as might be obtainable,
but the intrinsic value of the library is
beyond estimation.
There is another valuable collection of
books in the consultation chambers of the
Supreme Court, which also suffered great
damage. The rooms comprising the con-
sultation chambers are just across a
narrow corridor from the Supeme Court
room, and here more than 10000 volumes
were stored.

DEAD AMID DEBRIS.
Ten Men Killed by Collapse of The
ater at Detroit.

Ten Men Killed by Collapse of a The
alter at Detroit.
With a crash, the noise of which was
heard for blocks. the Wonderland Theater
in Detroit tumbled into ruins at = o. clock
Saturday afternoon. The roof had sud
denly collapsed At that time thirty-fye
men were at work in various parts of the
unfinished structure. There was no warn
ing of the calamity, and some of the vic
TINS persisted instantly.
Nearly every workman was swept down
into the theater pit; the top gallery was
crushed upon the lower gallery, forming
a sort of fatal tobogugan, down which
slid broken steel Orders, planks, timbers,
bricks and a great quantity of cement.
This avalanche remorselessly carried with
it a struggling mass Of men, who were
dashed down into the pit below. Ten
were killed outright, another afterwards
died, and very few escaped injury.
The cause of the catastrophe, while not
definitely settled seems to rest between
too much weight in the roof and faulty
steel beams used in its construction. The
top of the roof was of cement. about eight
inches thick. and many builders lean to
the opinion that this was too weighty for
the supporting steel work. Others say
the fault lies i'll the steel work.

TERESA is SUNK.
Spanish Cruiser Raised by ho5son
Lost in a Storm.

Spanish Cruiser Raised by Ko5son
Lost in Storm.
The sea has swallowed the cruiser In
fanta Maria Teresa, sunk at Santiago and
raised by Constructor Hobson. The
cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on the
morning of Oct 80 for New York. On
Nov. she was abandoned in midocean in
sinking condition. She could not wealth
er the gale prevailing. No lives were lost.
The cruiser left Cuba in tow of the repair
ship Vulcan and accompanied by the
ocean tug Merritt and the collier Leon
idas The crew of the cruiser, 1876 men,
arrived in Charleston, S. c., on the Mer-
rift.
The Maria Teresa was steaming
through what is known to mariners as the
crooked passage, thirty miles off San Sal
vador. While her own engines were in
use she was not under her own steam, be-
ing in the immediate tow of the Vulcan.
while the Vulcan in turn was in tow of
the wrecking tug Merritt. The weather
grew rough and there Was indication that
heavy tropical storm was at hand. The
cruiser began leaking badly and the situa-
ton soon became critical.
To take the officers and crew off the i'll
difficult task, but it was accomplished,
and all were saved After the men aboard
the Teresa were taken Off by the Merritt,
the Vulcan, which was towing the disa-
bled cruiser by fifteen-inch hawser, pro-
ceeded for four hours longer to tow her
toward Norfolk. Despite the possibility
of the Teresa sinking at any minute and
pulling her consort down after her, the
Vulcan held on manfully to the former
Spaniard until it was believed that to tow
her longer was to sink with her. 1t was
then that the great hawser was cut.
AS the surfboat of the Merritt drew
away with her last load of rescued sail
ors, it was evident the Maria Teresa could
remain afoat but few moments more.
Her propellers were showing above the
water and she had sunk very low for
ward. She was evidently going to plunge
head first into the sea. That was the last
glimpse caught of her.

A FATHERS STORY.

From, the Ecening Crescent, Appleton. WIS.
A remarkable cure from disease which
has generally wrecked the lives of chill
dren has attracted much attention among
the residents of Appleton.
The case is that of little Willard Creech,
son of Richard D. Creech, a we'll known
employe of one of the large paper mills in
the Fox River Valley. The lad was at
tackled by spinal disease and his parents
had given up all hope of his ever being
we'll again when, as by miracle, he was
healed and is now in school as happy as
any of his mates.
Mr.. Creech, the father of the boy. who
resides at 1862 Second street, Appleton,
Wisconsin, told the following story:
