Ing vessel and began pumping water
on the flames. The boys on board the
Clarence worked with the utmost dis
cipline until they were forced to leave
tie ship with the officers. The cap
tain's family and Bishop Whitesidc,
who spent the night on board the
Clarence, lost their personal effects.
The crew of the Mersey had a narrow
escape, having barely time to regain
their own craft, which had the utmost
difficulty in getting clear OF the burp-
ing vessel when the bulwarks of the
Nrrsey were beginning to take fire.
Three hours after the fire was discov-
cred the Clarence's back broke, and
Che settled slowly. This was the sec.
o"d Catholic reformatory ship of the
same name that has been burned on

fired by boys on board.

OHIO'S FOUR PRISON DEMONS.
They Have Been Placed in q Steel
Cage Where They Can Kill
Each Other If So Minded.

Chicago, July ga Tjmes-Herald
special from Columbus, O., says:
The four incorrigible convicts-Tra
Marlatt, Otis Hurley, John O'Neil and
Johr Atlsinson-in the Ohio state pris-
on, have been placed in steel cage
which has just been completed for
their special benefit.
The prisoners are known as the
"PIison Demons" Each one has shot
or stabbed a guard or two since his in
generation. They are all life men,
and though subjected to the severest
punishment absolutely refuse to work.
Though the warden does not admit
it, it is believed the men will sooner
or later kill each other. Marlatt
fought like maniac against being put
in the cage, and it required six men
to control him.

CHIcAGO'S FILTH CONDUIT.

White Hall, ILL.,, July 26.-About s.
900 people gathered here from all por-
tions of the Illinois river valley in at
tendance upon the mass convention to
consider the attitude to be assumed in
relation to the opening of the Chicago
drainage canal, and the removal of the
government dams at Kampsville and

sented.

formed upon the subjects of delibera-
ton made speeches.
Trustee Alexander j. Jones,who was
to represent the sanitary district Of
Chicago, was unable to b. present,
but submitted letter containing a
proposition, upon which nc believes
unity of action between all interests
affected may be attained. He said:
I'm my opinion, concerted move
should be made by the people Of the
Illinois valley, the sanitary district,
end the city Of Chicago for the removal
OF all government dams, simultaneous
with the work of the permanent i'm.
provement of the Illinois river. Maj.
Marshall, of the United States engi.
neering department, has already, un-
officially, stated that he shall recon.
mend the removal of the crests of the
government dams, in order to accom-
1ncdate the increased flow. which will
b. occasioned by the drainage canal
Now, in my opinion, we should bring
all our interests from Lake Michigan
TO the Mississippi and, if possible, te
New Orleans, into one concerted de.
nand upon congress, for appropria
tiens requisite to carry out the deeE
waterway project, which had it's incep
ticn in the drainage canal legislation.

here are commercial uSageS when
will not stand the test of the last day.
Yet men in business are apt to do as
their neighbors do. If the majority of
the traders in any locality are lax in
principle, the commercial code of that
community will be spurious and dis
honest. 1t is hard thing to stand close
by the law of right when your next door
neighbor, by his looseness OF dealing. is
enabled to sell goods at cheaper rat e
and decoy your customers. Of course
you who promptly meet all your busi-
ness engagements, paying when you
promise to pay, will find it hard to conf
pete with that merchant who is hope
lessly in debt to the importer for the
goods and to the landlord whose store
he occupies and to the clerks who serve
him. There are hundred practices
prevalent in the world of traffic which
ought never to become the rule for hon
est men. Their wrong does not make
your right. Sin never becomes virtue
by being multiplied and admitted at
brokers' board or merchants exchange.
Because others smuggle few things
in passenger trunks. because others
take usury when men are in tight
places, because others deal in fancy
stocks, because others palm off worth

LIVE IN NESTS
The Bushmcn of Australia Get Atoms
Like Beasts in the
Jungle

You know that. of cOurs hut nests
Ind nest-building birds and animals are
! 50 intimately associated with eggs in
some indefinite way. that III speaking Of
men who build nests to live in il may
not be out of place to emphasize the abb
sence of eggs.
Travellers who have returned from the
heart of Africa and the Australian con-
tinent tell wonderful stories of nest
building people who inhabit the wilds
Of those countries.
In the bushmcn of Australia We find
perhaps the lowest order of men that
are known. They are so primitive that
they do not know enough 10 build even
, the simplest forms of huts for shelter.
The nearest they could approach to it
Is to gather Il lot of twigs and grass,
and. taking them into a thicket or
Jungle. they build a nest for a home,
much as does a bird. The nest is usual
" large enough for the family. and il
the latter be very numerous then the
I nests are of 4 very large size.
Into this place they all turn and
snur@lc and curl up together ike so
many kittens. Sometimes the foliage
wiz grow together and form a sort Gf
natural covering. but there is never any
attempt at constructing = protection
from rain and storms, ana il is Il marvel
how they can endure them.
When there is a particularly good
piece Of Jungle for home sites it will
be quickly appropriated for the pur-
pose. and sometimes hundreds of these
nests will be found together in the
bush. as it is called.
But though the hushmen OF our Aus
tralian colonies are the very lowest in
the scale o. ignorance. they possess Il
rare instinct that equals that of many
animals. and is in It's way - wonder

Snakes Can smell

Snakes have the sense of smell. 1t is
difficult TO obtain food for the rattle
snakes and copperheads out at the Zoo
logical park. The keeper has been try
ing them on the house rats and mice he
has caught about the buildings. lie
would leave them IN the snake cage over
night and through the day. They would
run over the snakes with impunity.
The snakes would pay no attention NJ
them. but when he happened to secure
some field mice and put them i'll the
cage the snake ATE them ut once. He
par in several rats and rnicc of the or
binary house variety tilat were living
out OF doors under the sidewalk. and
these were seized by the snakes almost
as readily as the wild species. The
keeper then conceived the idea of max
ing an earth box to keep the rats in for
awhile before feeding. and he found
that if they were put in there for -
hours Or so before they were given to
the snakes they would be eaten. The
only apparent explanation is that the
smell of the earth is desirable by the
snakes. and that the smell which the
animals acquire about buildings Is OBJ
