Among the magazines the FEBRUARY
number of The Midland is well worthy of
notice Not only has 1t some articles of
a high standard of merit but its illustra-
tons are good. One of the best Of its ar
ticles is by Col. Ben. E. Green of Dalton,
Ga. The title of 1t is yellow Fever. A
Bugaboo" He gives most interesting
account of a visit he made to Cuba and
other West Indian islands in 1919, when
the yellow fever was epidemic in those
islands. and he relates his experience with
ii. The opinion he formed in respect to the
fever, and he entertains that opinion still,
is that one of the most effective remedies
for the prevention of yellow jack would
be to 6isarm him of his imaginery terrors."
Among the best and most practical fea-
lures of the household magazines of the
day, is one carried out by Table Talk,
which in giving menus for the month,
adds directions for the economical carry
ing out of the same. The February issue
has this attractive feature, as well as many
recipes. given in reply TO inquiries from
housekeepers all over the country. Table

through the brush"
There was sudden movement In the
tent, but no one spoke. The boys shook
out their coats and put them on. Every
one understood what was TO be done.
Those who owned rifles took them
cartridges. Every weapon in camp was
hurriedly put in readiness for use.
The chief Of the party had come over
from the instrument tent when our
guest arrived.
What Kind of tracks were there"
he now asked.

answered.

earlier days.
\ moment later only the stranger and
Turner were left at the sleeping tent.
The searching party was well down the
valley. and McGinniS had gone TO the
cook-tent. Presently he came back with
his hat and spectacles on.

he said TO the stranger, as he opened the
letter. Would you mind readin' it to

The man read lt--a child's note of

the cook held a lighted candle before

candle. Now al know what's in the

Turner grew uneasy after the old
man had gone. The stranger said little,
but he watched his companion closely
and waited till the sounds OF the cooks

Then he got up, and without limping

standing there a moment he whistled

cleveland, OHIO, FLOODED
BIG BRIDGE CARRIED AWAY
Large Dam Gave Way--Water Sweews
Throgh the ity-Manufacturers Sur-
fertile Property Loss Is Enormous
No Lives Were Lost.

Cleveland, O., Jan, l0.-About Ills
Wednesday morning a dam under the Viii
son avenue bridge gave way Back of the
dam was body of water a mie and Il
half long, hundreds of feet wide and in
places % to 30 feet deep. The break in
the dam allowed torrents of water to pour
down on the flats below it. The property
loss is enormous. Along the line whence
the flood comes are the big plants of the
Standard Oil Company, the Cleveland Pa
per Mills, the Flick slaughter house and
other manufacturing plants There are
but few people living in the track of the
flood and these were all warned and sought
safety on higher ground.
The cause of the flood is the recent
heavy rains, the melting snow from the
hill sides and pond of several acres
overlooking. Streams for several miles
up the gully have added their quota of
water.
The break in the dam, which was an
unsubstantial mass of earth, occurred
while 30 men were at work in an arti-
fetal canal, being sunk to allow the pent-
up water to find a gradual and safe out
let. These men escaped with not one
second to spare.
The north end of the Wilson avenue
bridge moved from its foundation half an
inch and the engineers gave up all hope
of saving the structure Five OF its piers
had crumbled away and sank below the
surface of water.
\ terrible collapse OF earth on the south
side of the dam near the abutments oc-
CURED early today, carrying away 10
feet of earth, and taking several telegraph
poles along with it. \ few moments later
the water undermined an entbankment
$50 feet high and 80 feet in area, sweeping
it down with the raging flood and short
~ after 10 o'clock the bridge was swept
away.
AT noon it was believed that no further
damage from the flood would result. The
water had fallen II feet

FeeIinethe Earth,s pnIse.

The fanciful notion which men used
sometimes TO entertain that the earth
is, in some sense, living thing would
probably have derived support from
the recent observations of Professor
John Milne and others on the shlvers
aud quiyers that frequently run
through its rocky frame, but escape
notice except when watched for with
specially constructed and exceedingly
delicate apparatus. Professor Milne
reports that apparatus of this kind has
now been mounted in Canada, British
Columbia, the United States, South
Africa. New Zealand. Java, India and
Argentina, as well as in England and
at various places on the continent OF
Europe.

Senator Daniel, of Virginia, dis

because Gen. Wheeler and Gen. Butler,

to how complete an extent the ami

worthy in battle. In a war of three
months, of two battles that will be

much worse to the soldier than the
report of the attempted resignation

not to do that. Regardless of the idea
Of insubordination # suggests, Gen.
Blanco was bound in honor and duty,

troops in Cuba, to stay with them.
