Famine In II uAsia.

London, Aug. l9.-Advices from Mos
COW say that Russia is on the eve of an
other famine. Nearly third of the prov
inces of European Russia are officially de-
clared to have produced insufficient" and
some other still under the average crop
OF cereals. Only two provinces out of ~
have really good harvests. The official
word insufficient" means utter starvation.
The famine stricken area exceeds half a
million square miles and about the same
area as that of the great famine OF 1891.
The population numbers 43OOO,OOO. The
hopes founded on the report of two
months ago have vanished. The hovoc
has been wrought by the intense heat and
the entire absense of rain when needed.
Afterward there were torrential down.
pours and hail storms. The appearance of
innumenble pests is completing the de-
struction. The harvest is now in progress,
but these are final reports.

CAR OF POWDER EXPLODED
Freight Train Was Consumed b,
Fire.

y
Ashland, Ore, Aug. l9.-An explosion
Of dynamite which occurred at tunnel No
7. six and half miles north of Glendale
demolished an entire freight train on the
Southern Pacific. An extra train, COM
posed OF 26 cars with three engines, was
Just emerging from Tunnel No. I, which
is short one on sharp curve in the
track about 100 feet long, when the train
parted, the air hose breaking and the sud-
den jar causing the dynamite in the two
rear cars to explode. The entire train was
destroyed, except the engine and that was
injured somewhat. There were ~ cars
Of melons, two of powder, two OF fruit
and the remainder miscellaneous. The ex-
plosion was felt for miles around the sur
rounding country.
A car filled with acid took fire and the
flames spread to the dry brush and tim
Der, causing fierce contlagration. Cow
creek, which runs along the side of the
track at this point, was filed with debris
and burning wreckage. The buildings Of
the Victory mine, half mile distant, were
badly shattered, and in house mile
distant from the scene, sick woman was
thrown from her bed by the force of the
shock, her arm and shoulder being badly
dislocated in the fall.
Train Crew Escaped.
The train crew miraculously escaped
with only few bruises and scratches. A
number of tramps, who were riding in a
half closed car, it is believed, escaped, but
until the debris is cleared the loss of life
can not be known.
At least IL cars were blown to atoms,
and can not be accounted for, even their
trucks being missing. Wrecking crews
have been sent to the scene of the disaster
and 200 men are now clearing the track.
The tunnel, fortunately, appears to be un-
injured, though the track ara roadbed are
torn for great distance.

BONES OF KING JAMES II.

OF the French revOlution-nearly 100
years.
When, in the days of the revolution,
the church was turned into a factory,
some curious people broke open the
coffin and found the kings body in a
wonderful state of preservation. It
was one OF the pleasant little amuse-
ments of the Paris Reds to break open
the tombs of kings and cast the royal
bodies upon dunghiIls, and the body
OF the unfortunate Jarmes probably
would have shared this fate had II not
been that Il report was spread abroad
that a toucn OF the kings body had
worked several miraculous cures.
Then the people who had established
their factory in tn old church charged
admission to see the body and touch
it. ana thousands rushed to avail
themselves of its healing virtues, with
the result that the cu~stOdians Of the
royal corpse reaped a large financial
harvest. In 1913 George " requested
that the body of his Stuart predecessor
be buried properly and the bones OF
James nov rest in the chapel OF St.

How to Travel in Comfort.

Wash the face as seldom as posi-
bic when travelling. as the dust and air
render the skin very harsh IL 1t is con.
stantly damped.
The best way to remove any dust
Is to dip q rag in elder flower water
(that most innocent and refreshing o.
toilet waters) and use that only. When
the journeys end is reached. rub the
lace all over with a thin cold cream,
and leave on until you make your ap.
pearance among your friends, wher.
wipe OF with a soft towel; then use a
vaporizer Tor sponge with warm wa.
teri, and finish by LAYING well with
cold water to close the pores and give
nrmness to the skin. II powder Is used
in travelling, 1t should be put on only to
dust 1t of again. To keep 1t on makes
the skin dry and harsh. At night rub
ON a very little cold crea when re
firing as the close air and electI.,
light are very injurious to the complex
lon. especially in hot weather. For {
powder nothing is better than powder
ed magnesia-it is harmless and cool
mg-but It should not be left on long
There Is nothing, however, that re
freshes one 80 much as washing one's
bands with a good soap and water. but
one should never 8 the soap provid
Cd for the public use, as there 10 great
danger of catching infectious diseases
-or at least, annoying skin troubles
u this way. A little rubber sponge
bag, with soap and sponge and a small
clean towel, does not take up much
room, and Is SO very satisfactory tina
