of the Co., about 40 strong march,

says:
The Roundlap bale of the Ameri-

win favor with the manufacturers
of New England, as well as with
the spinners of Europe. You ca
readily understand why this should
qe so, i'll view of the saving, and of
the fact that after making a very
thorough investigation in one of my

spun from this bale is about IS per
cent, greater than the strength OF
the yarn spun from the old bale.

Havoc and Death From

The Disaster that Overlook
the Island of Ceram on the
End of Last Month.

San Francisco, December 12.-
The Bulletin gays:
The disaster that overlook the
island of Ceram on the End of last
month cost the people of that dis.
trict immense loss In life and proper.
On the night of the End, the peo.
pie of Ceran were awakened by a
terrific shock of earthquake that
seemed to work from north to south.
Every one fed from his house into
the public square. A few hours
later it was reported that the water
was rising in the bay of Ambonia.
The sea came forward in the shape
of a huge tidal wave and forced the
water into the bay entrance. It
came up fifty feet over the lowlands
HIT Pauholy and Samasoeros, on the
bay, the waves swept over tops of
trees thirty feet high. Out of near
ly $4,000 inhabitants only 40 escap-
ed. The whole coast for miles was
transformed into huge mud pud-
die. Corpses were everywher
Broken trees and portions of houses
were buried in the ooze.
Every few rods were great mounds
OF stones and boulders that had
beon washed up from the sea, chang
ing the entire topography of the
country. The exact number killed
aleng the coast will never be known,
as the corpses are in many cases
yards under the new ground.
At Hatoesia, out OF 500 people,
100 we've killed and 40 wounded.
The balance escaped to the hills
where the shock of earthquake was
first fel.
