Conductor Burns of the Great North

from freight car. The car was stand

conductor was coming down on the
side ladder. The top bar Of the ladder
pulled loose from the car and Burns
dropped Through the bridge and into
the water. There was thirty feet of
water at that point and if Mr.. Burns
had not been good swimmer the
chances are that the current would
have carried him down stream and
that he would have been drowned be-

A USEFUL MAP OF THE UNITED
STATES.

The United States geological survey
has recently issued reprint of map
of the United States whose convenient
size recommends it for many uses It
is II by 16 inches, printed in blue and
black; blue for the drainage and water
features, and black for names and
boundary lines. The principal cities,
lakes and rivers, and the state lines are
the only features shown, so that, free
from confusing details, it forms an ex-
cellent base map for variety of pur-
poses. 1t may used to plot railroad
lines, weather reports, crop, mining,
lumber, oil and gas returns, the limits
Of commercial territory and zones of
trade, and many other statistics, and it
is useful in educational work The map
is Of such size that it can readily be
framed for reference or used as a desk
map under a glass; 1t may be had for
5 cents on application to the director
of the U. S. geological survey.

A Dramatic Incident at am Ocean

seemed as IL a spiritual wave had
swept over the multitude, wrapping it
in a divine caress.
At that moment little child was
passed up to the platform, and the
bishop took it In his arms. aLost

baby put its dimpled arms about the
bishops neck and laid its head upon
his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling
with his gray hair

deep sympathetic voice Does any one

whom 1t belongs? Will the father or
mother come and claim it r.
There was silence, and the baby mes
tied closer, and the women who sat
near said, "Ohi"
Then man was seen making his
way to the altar. It was the baby's ia.
ther. Instantly the child stretched out
its arms to go to him. Then as he gave
1t up the bishop said:

favorable conditions, these eggs hatch and
the larvae remain In the water until after
the wings are fully developed, which is
usually ten or twelve days. They then
fly away as full-iiedged mosquitoes. 1t Is
believed that seven or eight generations Of
mosquitoes will hatch In a single season, so
1t will be seen that they multiply very rap
idly. Now, the theory is that oil poured
upon the surfaces Of these pools will pre-
vent the female from laying the eggs and
that 1t will also kill the larvae already

RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP
brary Association Conven-
tiOn at Boston.

Miss Edith Tobitt, librarian OF the omahs
public library. returned yesterday from
a months visit to Boston and vicinity,
where she attended the meeting Of the
American Library association and later vis-
tied some Of the libraries of the state.
The meeting, which convened June TIA,
was attended by about 1000 librarians and
was one of the most helpful that has been
held by the association. Owing to the
growth in the organization 1t has become
necessary to divide IL into sections for
large Libraries, under which classification
the Omaha library comes; small libraries,
cataloging, children's work and college and
reference work. Miss Tobitt gave special
attention to the children's section, which
Is endeavoring to prepare a book list for
children which will be really educational
in character. Old lists are being revised
and new lists made which when completed
will include only books that have been ap-
proved by some of the committees.
Among the most helpful things" said
Miss Tobitt, was the talk by DIR. Elliott
OF Harvard on the disposition of books
that have ceased to be OF current value.
| Also a talk by Mr.. Anderson OF the Pitts
burg library on branch library work, which
included most valuable outlines Of that
work"
Following the meeting those in attend
ance visited the libraries Of the vicinity.

DAMAGE FROM HEAVY RAINS
Many Small Bridges, and

Street Commissioner Hummel has been
busy this week inspecting damage done by
the recent heavy rains and has found that
| there Is scarcely a street or culvert in the
| city that has not suffered to SOM extent.
while many of the smaller bridges have
been wrecked and rendered impossible. In
many places In the suburbs the earth has
been washed from beneath sidewalks, leav-
ing them without support. Where these
walks cross gullies they are dangerous,
Being held up by stringers alone they have
the appearance OF being sound, but in
reality are barely strong enough to support
their own weight, and q person attempting
to cross on them would be almost GER
tain to meet with an accident. All such
walks are being removed as fast as they
are reported.
The localities where the damage OF the
rains has been most serious are as fol-
lows:
At Forty-sixth and Cunning streets the
brick culvert has caved in, taking with II
a part of the pavement.
At Forty-fourth and Davenport streets
the sewer trench has caved the entire width
Of Forty-fourth street, a distance of sixty
