THE JAMAICA STORM
The Government Urged to Furnish Re-
lief to Sufferers.

Kingston, jamaica, November 9.-owing
to the extent and gravity of the reported
destruction and consequent distress
throughout this island, resulting from the
late storm, which only now is being fully
realized, the eleanor today urges the gov
eminent to constitute a systematic inquiry
for the purpose of ascertaining the details
and furnishing relief. Apparently the de-
struction is far more severe and wide
spread than earlier estimates stated.
Where the distress is intensified by con-
tinuous rains numerous fatalities are re-
ported.

Flies Distribute Disease.

The possible extent of the spread of disease by the animals about us is still a matter of conjecture only. While it is more than probable that consump- ton and other diseases are distributed by domestic animals. good reason has been found for believing that the plague was introduced into Calcutta by rats, and while mosquitoes probably in- oculate the blood with disease germs. it now appears that flies may carry death in other ways Two deaths from ptomaine poisoning were attributed by the eoroner's jury to eating lamb which was apparently sound and good, but which had been placed in a Iarder con taining putrid tongue, and, as the two were not in close proximity, the analyst believes that flies brought the poison from the tongue to the lamb. The ob- yious moral is that flies should be kept from Iarders and meat stores.

HE WAS A FINDER.
Curious Way of Earning a Livelihood
 in London.


 in London.
 To any one unacQuainted with the complex characteristics of London life 1t would appear almost incredible that a man could make living as a pick pocket by immediately restoring what he has stolen to it's original owner. A detective officer, however, has re- gently informed the writer that such, indeed, is the case. For some time past an ingenious individual has made it his business to wait upon ladies as they leave theaters, calling their carriages and aiding them to enter. He is de- gently dressed, very polite and has a way of holding up a 1adys dress be- hind-especially if the weather is wet which is particularly pleasing to his patronesses.
 But it seems that his action in this respect is not nearly so distinguished as it might appear, for he makes this little courtesy subterfuge for picking their pockets or removing any article of value within reach. His methods, however, are not those of the common thief, for he consistently proceeds to the police station nearest at hand and there delivers up his spoil. coolly stating that he has found it" outside a certain theater
 He, of course. furnishes also his name and address, and in due time his honest action receives its reward. He has found so many things recent ly that the police are anxious to find him.

One of the strangest claims ever made to an insurance company was that for $150, the value of plum pud- ding which had been accidentally burnt to cinder. The claim was not allowed, although the amount was paltry, be- cause it was proved that the casualty had resulted from the carelessness of the cook, who had omitted to put any water in the saucepan.
