lied out In Japan The probability of

means IN lieu OF the system of deto-

scientists. This attempt by the Japa-

effort to prove the truth OF this theory

success. The trials were made by the

PATERSON LOSES MILLIONS.

Damage by Flood Will Be as Great as
That by Recent Fire.
New York, March 3.-The great
flood that has inundated large part
of the mill section of Paterson, N. j.,
subsided somewhat during the night,
and it is believed the worst is over.
The damage was very great. 1t Is esti,
mated that the loss wrought by the
food is large as that by the fire. while
it is said there is little or no insurance
to cover it.
Many more families have been rem
dered homeless by the food than were
made so by the fire, and the relief
committee whose labors were becom-
ing lighter daily is now hard at work
seeking to assist those who have lost
everything by the water Between II
o'clock last night and o'clock this
morning the water in the streets of
Paterson fell feet Unless there
should be another heavy downpour of
rain it is thought no further damage
will be done. Along the water front
on both sides of the river almost ev-
erything is wrecked, foundations and
roadbeds having been eaten away and
about everything in sight more or less
damaged.
