We wish 10 extend our thanks to one

along the seacoast and the great food
in China. where hundreds of people
perishcd and many hundreds were left
homeless. We fear that still greater
and more destructive storms will fol-
low. Coast dwellers should keep their
eyes open and watch for the wild
waves that may roll in and inundate
tie land. Wars. RIOS ana evil doings
will run high all over the world. There
will be much excitement in political
circles caused by dissatisfaction. The

Patented Smtthv ChOphouse.

A man Of New York one day, in
the country. toasted some meat over
the forge Of a blacksmith shop. He
found to his surprise that the intense
heat had broiled the chop or steak
more quickly than did the range in
his own house. 1t occurred to him
that chophouse fashioned like
blacksmith's shop would be an extra
ordinary novelty. He thought the
matter over and evolved many details;
at last he protected his ideas by copy
righting and patenting whatever he
could. The project as it now stands
involves the imitation of smithy
for restaurant. The forges, worked
with automatic bellows. are employed
for preparing steaks, chops and kid
neys.
