I. o. o. II. at Detroit.

The 18th annual communication of
the sovereign grand lodge, |. o. o. F.,
convenes in Detroit this week. There
are no officers to elect at this time.
The grand sire is elected for two years
and the present incumbent came into
his Office at Boston last year. BY the
precedent of many years the deputy
grand sire is advanced to the office of
grand sire at the conclusion of the
superior officers term. There will be
the usual grist of legislation brought
before the sovereign grand lodge.
There has been in times past consider
able question about the admission of
women delegates to the sovereign
grand lodge. This question came up
after the adoption of the Rebekan de-
gree an the formation of the Rebekah
lodges. The women wanted represen-
tation in the sovereign body, which
legislates for them. There was Pc
tition before the order some years ago,
about 1892, and representation was re-
fused. This question, 1t Is expected,
will be decided at this meeting.

principal localities where coal is pro-

quality of the coal mined is said to be

in mining in Michigan, aside from
the value of lands, is 100000, and

JUMPED OVER A TOWN.
That Is what a Certain ship Did and
II Was Afterwards Car
ried BACK.

A most extraordinary incident hap
pened to the corvette Monongahela at
Santa Cruz in 1887. While at anchor in
the harbor a tremendous tidal wave
lifted her upon its crest and carried her
clean over the town of Frederichstadt
and back again without injuring the
town or the boat to any great extent.
The receding wave landed her on the
beach instead of in the waters of the
harbor. and it cost the United States
government 100000 10 float her again.
Fully as strange was the fate of the
sloop-of-war Wateree. She was an
chored in the harbor of africa, Peru, in
JSGS, when huge tidal wave swept in
land and flooded the whole city. The
wave carried the sloop several miles in
land and finally landed her in the
midst of n tropical forest. 1t was i'm
possible to release her from such Pc
culiar position. and she was sold for a
nominal sum. The purchasers turned
the vessel into hotel, and the remains
OF the once formidable war vessel loom
up in the tropical forest to-day as a
monument TO the power of tidal waves.
