WHAT ENGLISH POET DOES THIS REPRESENTs

turned on themselves by being
slowed up, and the heavier particles
fall to the ground; some air with
its lighter particles filters through
the trees, and has more of it's dust
PAL ticles deposited and gains traces
of essential oils in transit; it finally
energies on the leeward side of the
forest practically free from dust int
purities and contains many vanished
molecules"
This is a striking and graphic de-
scription of the manner in which all
can become contaminated and thus
dangerous to Che health and life Of
human beings; also of the processes
of publication that nature provides.
Incidentally it furnishes it's W les
son showing how neglect of sanitary
precautions may contribute to the
poisoning of the atmosphere and
lead to direful consequences. Every
city or habitation which lacks good
drainage and a proper system of
disposing of foulness and waste
gives off noxious elements to pollute
the atmosphere and scatter seeds OF
disease. Mr.. Sims has impressively
shown the sanitary value of mum.
cipal and household cleanliness.

UNLUCKY NEGAUNEE MINE.
Fhe chances for Recovering the
bodies of the Buried Miners
Growing Less Eeyery Day.

Negaunee, Mich, Jan. 10.-The sur.
face OF the Negaunee mine is still
caving in, going direct to the drift
where the bodies of the workmen are
covered. The blacksmith shop west
OF the opening went down late
Wednesday night, and from present
indications the dryhouse west of the
opening will go down. 1t is now prob
lematical when the bodies of the
buried miners will be recovered, as
with water pouring in and the sur
face giving way, the work can not be
carried on with any degree Of safety.

NoRDIcA IN A sMAsHUp.
PIANIST Injured In a Railroad
Wreck In Georgia,

Rome, Ca, Jan. 13.-As the result
Of a collision between a passenger
and freight on the Southern railway,
at an early hour yesterday morning,
near Reeves station, 20 miles north
of Rome, Nine. Lillian Nordica, the
singer, was injured, her accompanied,
E. Romano Simmons, sustained a
bruised Inland, an engineer was killed
and three other employees of the
road were injured.
The train to which Nine. Nordica's
private car, the Brunnehilde, was at
tached, was a mixed passenger and
freight, and left Atlanta at 1880 Sat-
urday night for Chattanooga. 1t ar
rived at Reeves station at $3.50 yes
terday morning, where it had orders
to meet freight No. So. A freight
train, which proved to be an extra,
was on the siding at Reeves when
the passenger arrived, and the en-
gineer of the passenger, evidently as
Stunning that it was No. IS, did not
stop, but continued his run toward
Chattanooga. A mile north of
Reeves, while going at a rapid rate,
the passenger met the freight on
a sharp curve. The two engines
crashed into each other, and Engi-
neer Tracey, in attempting to jump,
was caught between the two locomo-
tives and crushed to death.
Nine. Nordica's car was attached
to the rear of the passenger train.
She sang in Atlanta Saturday night
and was on her way to Nashville,
where she is booked to fill an en-
gagement Monday night. When the
collision occurred Nine. Nordica was
asleep in her bed in the private state
room of the car. The sudden jar
threw the diva from her bed to the
floor. 1t is understood that she sus-
tanned a badly bruised shoulder and
the muscles of her neck are said to
have been strained.
DR.. Darlington, the Southern rail-
ways surgeon here, was Immediately
summoned and attended the singer.
DR.. Darlington stated last night that
she would be able to fill her engage
ment tonight.

Robert P. Hughes, who returned from

which he will visit Washington and

drawn or their number materially
leSsened. He has very little faith in
the professed friendship of the Fill

they have very little sympathy with
the Americans. Strict military rule

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A sensa-
tional statement is made by Mr.. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner Of Jane and Hurlbut Ave-, this

diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
a great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder

ENTIRE FAMILY WIPED OUT.
Henry Pearlstcin and His Entire Family
Burned to Death in Their Home
at Buffalo, N. Y.

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 13.-Henry
Pearlstein, his wife and five children,
ranging in age from one and a half
to - years, were burned to death,
early yesterday, in a fire that de-
stroyed a two-story frame building.
Joseph Supowski, who owned the
building, and Karl Bracki, his BROTH
er-in-law, have been arrested pending
an Investigation. Supowski carried
an insurance of $4,000 on the build
ing and it's contents.
The Pearlsteins and another family
lived in rooms above a shoe store and
were asleep when the fire started.
Supowski told the police yesterday
that he accidentally dropped a lamp.
A few minutes after the fire began
there was a loud explosion that blew
out the front of the store and
hurled some of the contents of the
windows into the middle of the
street. Plate glass windows on the
opposite side of Broadway were
olitbclCu, anu bhC lCPolb VI ullC Ca
plosion was heard two blocks away.
The flames enveloped the building in
a short time.
The family living in the real flat
barely escaped with their lives. The
Pearlsteins were awakened, but be-
fore they could reach the only stair
way leading from their rooms, the
fire had undermined the floor, in the
hallway, and it collapsed, carrying
them down into a mass of flames
Their charred bodies were found al
eight o'clock, four hours after the
fiermen had extinguished the flames
The body of the mother and baby
were found together, the little one
tightly clasped in its mothers arms
Pearlstein's body was found close te
that of his wife. He also held one o.
his children in his arms. The bodies
of the other three children were
found huddled together close to thu
fathers body.

Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-THE Boer del

that some kind of peace o%vertures
will shortly be made, though they are
reticent as to their reasons for this
belief. They maintain, however, that
the demand for an unconditional sur
render must be abandoned.
Is is privately admitted that the
delegates will not reject what they

negotiations are started by a neutral
power the delegates will earnestly
seek to obtain a modus vivendi, which
will reconcile Mr., Kruger's desire for

KEEPING THE AIR CLEAN.
influence of Human Agency on
Weather Conditions Is Now
Well Understood

The Importance of pure air is well
set forth in a timely article which
Alfred F. Sims, of Albany, the To-
al forecaster of the weather bureau,
contributes to the Argus. Mr.. Sims
daily observations, given through
the Troy Times and other newspa-
pers of this region, make him in a
sense a familiar personality to thou
sands of readers and add interest
to what he has to say on the SUBJ
ject under discussion.
Mr.. Sims shows that weather
representations are of very ancient
origin, although the old-time fore
casters lacked the scientific data
which are the stock in trade of the
modern signal service. "The hoary
philosopher ascribed weather phe-
nomena to stellar and planetary in
t%luences," and Mr.. Sims notes that
certain pseudo philosophers" of
the present day have not advanced
beyond that stage. And even yet,
with all the study of conditions,
that which we do not now know
about the atmosphere is immense"
Nevertheless great advance has been
made in meteorology, and the re-
sulting benefit in foreseeing and
announcing the coming of storms
and temperature changes has been
incalculable.
One part of the article by Mr..
Sims relates to the effect on the at
mosphere of local changes, and this
phase of the case may well be at
tentively considered. Mr.. Sims says:
Human agency may be subserv-
lent to producing local changes in
the weather and temperature of sea-
som by draining marshy countries,
cutting down forests and cultivating
soil or digging bitches, but a study
of observations covering a period OF
time from a century before the birth
of Christ reveals that there is no
material alteration of the tempera-
ture of seasons.
"As the atmosphere serves as the
lungs of the earth, every change
therein makes a corresponding
change in all organisms that live,
move and have their being at the
bottom of the aerial ocean. The
motions of the atmosphere depend
almost entirely upon differences OF
temperature between different places
on the earth's surface. In the aerial
bottom there are cross freshets and
smooth air flows. There are two
kinds of motion to the air; n is
a motion of transition, the other is
a motion of undulation. Air waves
are generated by collision with and
rebound from obstacles in the way,
When the air is jostled and tossed
by uneven surfaces and obstacles
aerial rapids develop. The general
drift of air is from west to east.
"In some localities, especially in
large cities where dust p~olluting
agencies are in full operation
belching out impurities, and in
marshy sections, dust that is harm
full to sufferers from disease enters
the aerial streams and is carried
eastward until it is arrested by
some obstacle and deposited or by
inhalation becomes the nuclei around
which are developed lawless col
onizers which. if unchecked, live
thrive and develop in their new hab
itat and eventually break down tina
upon which human life depends.
"When the air waves, laden witt
impurities, reach the windward side
of a forest section, they are largely

Committee.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The senate
committee OF territories spent the
greater part of yesterday in investi.
eating the charges made against
John A. Otero in connection with his
denomination as governor of New
Mexico. These charges were formu'
lated by ex-Delegate Catron, but
were read by William M. Berger, OF
Santa Fe. They assert that under
Gov. Otero, the republican party in
New Mexico has become a mere
clique, and also attack the governor
on his business record.
After hearing all the charges the
committee voted unanimously to rec
ommend Gov. Otero's confirmation.

sion of the senate, to-day, was de-
Foted to rontine business
HOUSE.
The Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill
passed the house. late this afternoon,
by practically a unanimous vote.
Only two members out of 31O voted
against it. Messrs. Fletcher (rep,
Mimi and Lassiter (dem., Val were
the two voting in the negative. The
opposition to committing the govern
ment to the N~icaraguan route at
tempted to secure amendments to
lodge with the president the discre-
tionary power to purchase and com
plete the Panama canal, if it could
be purchased for $40, 900. The test
came on the first vote when the adj
vocates of an alternative route polled
1O2 against 10 votes. AT each sue
ceeding vote their strength dwindled,
until Mr.. Cannon (Ill.), under whose
leadership the fight was made, was
unable to get the ayes and noes on a
motion to recommit. All other amend
ments failed, and the bill passed eX-
actly as it came from the commit
tee. None of the votes except that
on the final passage of the bill was
a record vote.
The debate which preceded the ia
king of the final vote was made mem
/ orable by a clash between Mr.. Hep
burn, the author of the bill, and Mr.
Cannon, chairman of the %appropria'
tions committee. On several pre-
vions occasions they have measured
swords over canal legislation. Two
years ago a similar bill was passec
by a vote of 224 to Sc.

ICES the president to secure from thu
states of Costa RIGA and Nicaragua
