STUB ENDS
OF THOUGHT.

Mr.. Arthur G.. Lewis. Southern Pas
senger Agent OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. has acquired n wide and
extending fame by his short bits of
philosophy, known as Stub Ends of
Thought" The Virginian- Pilot to-day
takes great pleasure in presenting to
its readers the latest stub Ends of
Thought" from Mr.. Lewis pen. They
are as follows:
We would have no pity for the flow
ers that have faded had we never
known the fragrance of their bloom.
No sunshine is bright enough to pen
despair
Nurse your misfortunes and they will
mature in your arms.
There exists no permanent condition
of non platonic love. The affection of
tomorrow will be greater than that OF
to-day, or less.
The man who rcceievs no bouquets
from his friends deprives his enemies
of the pleasure they derive from pick
ing them TO pieces.
The weight of n woman we have
ceased to love may be measured by
the heaviness of about sixty-four
ounces to the pound.
chld's question often urges into
action mans judgment.
Empty expression of endearment
may CONSISTENCY ne tclllicu inc Notion
of affection.
Hope IS closely related to effort. and
effort is the father OF accomplishment.
The memories of our mothers have
prevented more crimes and created
more good than the reverence of our
God.
No permanent disaster can befall the
man who forms a conscientious part
reiShip between his heart and head.
"a man is no better than his friend"
and women afford an example beyond
comparison of this expression
Church duties should never be per
mitted TO interfere With home obliga-
tons.
Men are like eggs. and friends like
cooks. We never know how good Cor
bad we are until broke.
There is Il snug corner of the Christ
life illustrated in the harmony and
sweetness of home and prayer.
Six women can keep secret. hut
half dozen of them must be dead.

The following feicitous reply to the
question, What is charm?" is said to
have been given by lady in n poetic
competition at social gathering in
New York The lines were first print
ed in the Sun:
Charm is the measure of attractions
power
To chain the fleeting fancy of an hour,
And rival all the spell of Beauty's
dover.
y subtle grace of heart and mind.
That flows with tactful sympathy:
The sweetest rose, if not the fairest.
That the garden knows
n quick responsiveness in word and
deed.
y dignity and stateliness at need
The will to follow and the art to lead
She to whom this most precious gift
is known
Has life's great potent factor for her
own,
And rules alike the cottage and the
throne.

SPEECH.

Talk happiness. The world is sad
enough
Without your woes. No path is wholly
rough;
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-08-05

Look for the places that are smooth
and clear.
And speak of those to rest the weary
ear
OF earth, so hurt by the continuous
strain
OF human discomfort, and grief, and
pain.
Talk faith. The world is better off
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid
If you have faith in God, or man, or
self,
Say so; if not, push back upon the
shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith
shall come;
No one will grieve because your lips
are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary. never-chang-
ing tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and stale.
You cannot charm, or interest. or
please.
BY harping on that minor chord, dis
ease.
Say you are well, or all is we'll with
you.
And God shall hear your words and
make them true.

Imaginative mind and close familiarity

the island dotted Behring Strait. under
takes to demonstrate that the possibility
of travelling by rail from New York to
Paris on railroad train is by no means as
remote as 1t might seem. The fact that
but a narrow neck OF water divides Alaska
from the Russian Empire has always fur
nished those who delight TO speculate on
such subjects with the basis of belief that
some day such purpose might be accom-
plished.
The optimistic gentleman who has re-
vived the question calls attention to the
fact that roads have been built within
the past ten years TO Seattle, Portland
and Vancouver. He expects the Canadian
Government 10 build line 10 the Alaskan
boundary. and then that either this Gov
eminent or capitalists viii continue the
road TO Behring Strait.
The interesting point in his detail of the
route, as throwing light upon the FEAST
biIity of the project. is the statement that
the Islands of the strait. which is but forty
miles wide. are so numerous that the two
mainlands could easily be connected by
series of bridges. and the worst would be
over. The Siberian Railroad will be com
ploted By the end of next year and the en-
terprising promoter who is doing this tall

States and Canada were to unite In subsi
dizing a line 10 Behring Strait, America
and Asia would be united in the holy bonds
of cross-ties within ten years, making IL
possible TO encircle the globe in thirty days.
After all. this is not entirely a ianclful
project; but It will not seriously engage
the attention of the American people until
they witness the completion Of another and
more important enterprise in Central
America.

SURGEON ARTHUR EXPLAINS.
4 Report Respecting Deaths on the
Hospital ship Missouri.

Surgeon General Sternberg has received
the report Of Surgeon William II. Arthur
who was in charge of the hospital ship
Missonr., On which nineteen patients died
while the vessel was en- route from Manila
| to San Francisco
The report states that one patient died
before the vessel reached Nagasaki. Japan
| five died while the vessel was living in
Nagasah Harbor. and the remaining thir-
| teen died between Nagasaki and San Fran
cisco. Nearly all the patients who died
were these suffering from severe dyseutery
and consumption. and according to Cen
eral Sternberg were in a desperate eondf-
ton before the vessel sailed, but II was
thought they might be benefited By the
voyage.
The trip from Manila to Nagasaki was
made in fair weather. but from Nagasaki
to San Francisco the vessel encountered
considerable heavy weather Surgeon
Arthur states that he was unable to obtain
fresh milk for the sick in Manila. and al
Nagasaki only limited amount of milk
could be secured. This was kept for the
patients whose condition was most serious.
OF the 2sS patients 15s were suffering from
dysentery, fourteen from consumption.
seventeen from malaria, and others from
various diseases.
While no reference is made in Surgeon
Arthur's report to controversy between
himself and Captain Dillon, the War De-
partment has received a copy OF charges
filed by Surgeon Arthur against Captain
Dillon. which allege that Captain dillon
refused to obey his orders regarding the
running OF the vessel. Captain Dillon
has been suspended until the charges filed
against him are investigated

which has just been the scene OF a disas-

of the world, subject to such y;sitations.
1t was only just little more than ten
years ago that great landslide the re-
suit of an earthquake, overwhelmed the
village of KhorelZik, in the Tortum VAL
ley. about eighteen miles from Erzerouni.
and destroyed nearly 100 of its inhabitants.
only some twenty-five escaping. The cir
cumstanceS of the disaster were very
curious.
On several occasions before the catastro-
phe took place the rumblinss in che noun
tain alarmed the inhabitants. who sent a
dsputstion to the Kaimakam CT the dis
trict 10 request him to visit the village TO
select a new site to which they might
move. After the Turkish manner. he de-
Iayed going until their Importantly and
their assurance that the village had paid
all its taxes made him promise 20 meet the
villagers on the spot after prayers in the
mosque on a particular Friday. In the lat
ter part OF the afternoon on the day ar
ranged. while the people were all assem-
bled in the open space in front of the
mosque and some Of the boys and girls
had been sent TO the pastures to drive in
the cattle. the Knimakam and some other
officials. with an escort OF Zaptiehs coming
from the district town. began to descend
by the road into the valley. Then the face
OF the mountain oyerhangiDg the village
began to move and in "a few minutes tine
village and everything in It had diSap-
peared from view. Only the few children
away in the pastures escaped.
When an examination of the ground
took place afterward. 1t was found that
the village had been covered by the land
slide to a depth of from 100 to 500 feet,
and TO attempt at rescue could be Of any
avail. At the beginning Of the, century a
similar convulsior blocked the upper part
OF the Tortum Valley and formed lake
OF considerable size. and there is hardly
year that some changes do not take place
in the condguration OF the country from
eartliuuakes landslldes. and the giving
way Of the walls al the great reservoirs
of water that exist in the mountain ranges

sCme years ago by Russian engineers to
discover a practicable way for tunnel to
connect the railways north and south of
the great Caucasus chains resulted in the
location OF several OF these great natural
reservoirs.
It is probable tn; the full extent OF the
Akhalkalnki catastrophe is not vet known
for the country is so broken and the noun
tains so precipitOus that IT, will take some
time to obtain all the details of the loss
