CULIACAN, Mexico, Aug. 15.--The lower
portion of the city of Altata, on the Pacific
coast. just west of Culiacan, has been de-
stroyed by tidal wave and not fewer than
thirty people are known TO have been
drowned. The loss of life may be several
times that number. The property loss is
heavy. 1t is rumored that several smaller
coast towns, situated above Altata, were
completely washed away by the same tidal
wave and that the loss of life in these
smaller places is very heavy.
Relief for sufferers of Altata will be sent
from Culiacan and it is said that State and
federal governments will take prompt
action for the destitute.

HEAVY INSURANCE.
President Roosevelt Has Several
Policies.

NEW YORK, April 13.-President
Roosevelt, since he became Chief EX-
ecutive of the Nation, has become one
Of the most heavily insured men i'm the
United States. The President has TAX
en- out a policy for $4,000 in one of the
big New York life insurance companies,
besides continuing policies for smaller
amounts which he had taken out long
before he was elected Governor of New
York. ROOsevelts policies, it is under
stood, exceed by $4,000 or $4,000 those
held by Mckinley at the time of the
latter's assassination. Mrs. Mckinley
was paid about 100000 on policies on
her husbands life.
President Roosevelt although a man
of means, took out some Insurance
years ago. When he succeeded to the
Presidency, according to several of his
friends, he became convinced it would
be prudent for him to largely increase
his life insurance. 1t is an interesting
fact in this connection that the big life
insurance companies do not calculate
seriously the extra danger so many be-
lieve attached to the occupant of the
White House

CHINESE DEMAND LIBERTY.
Want to BE Released From Mail
Dock.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-Au at
tempt was made yesterday by the off
Cials of the Oriental steamship lines to
calm the hundred Chinese confined in
the detention shed at the Pacific Mail
dock, and get them out of the humor of
making an outbreak today when the
Hong Kong Maru sails for China. The
Celestials did not take very kindly,
however, to the talk that they would be
either landed today or returned on the
next steamer. They said that they
would tear down the shed and make
their escape unless they were put on
board the Hong Kong Maru.
Manager r. p. SchWerin of the Pacific
Mail Company is now in Washington
He Sent dispatch yesterday f ON there
that the Supreme Court would hand
down a decision i'm the cases Of the Chi
nese before the sailing of the Hongkong
Maru. An interpreter employed by the
company and an Interpreter from the
Chinese Bureau conveyed the news to
the ninety-eight Chinese i'm the shed
The Celestials put little faith in the
statements of the interpreters, however
and loudly clamOred to be put on board
the steamer and sent back to the Flow
cry Kingdom. They looked upon the
telegram as a ruse of the steamship
officials to detain them longer on the
hated wharf.
All the steamship companies were
notified yesterday by the Collector Of
Customs that in the event of trouble
with the Chinese, and the escape of any
OF them the companies would be held
responsible. A $1,000 fine is in
store for the companies for each Chi

One of the novel habits of the pres
ent day is one that takes one to second
hand bookstores, says the Philadelphia
North American. Dealers in dissipated
libraries call it aptly enough the "sec-
ondhand book habit"
A clerk whose duty it is to stand at
the front Of the secondhand bookstore
and watch out for possible purchasers
is the one who first made note of this
queer habit. He noticed that the same
men and women were wont to stop and
cursorily inspect the same dusty vol
umes day after day, year in and year
out. They come every day-the same
old faces-and they look over the same
old books, and they never say any
thing, and they never buy anything,
and after awhile, when their time is
up, they go away as silently as they
came.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Planting a few trees every fall or
spring, as may be convenient, keeps up
the supply of fruit.
The American persimmon makes a
handsome tree ornamentally consider
ed. 1t has dark green leaves that re
main on late in the fall.
Carnations do not thrive in the shade
and will not tolerate the presence of
rank manure. They are easily grown
in any good garden soil.
One secret Of getting flowers from
potted plants is to let them get pot
bound. When a plant can no longer
keep on growing, it turns its energies
toward producing flowers.
By yearly attention to pruning and
by good feeding a shrub may be re-
newed from season to season and kept
always strong. Old and weak wood
should always be removed.
Ammonia is a plant stimulant, not a
food While it is useful to force plants
into bloom and growth after the soil is
exhausted, a fertilizer must be applied
or the plant will use up it's own vital
ity in bloom.

NATURAL HISTORY.

All animals ruminate which have
horns and cloven feet.
The offspring of two rabbits might
in ten years number 100000.
Flying fish have been known to jump
ten feet above the surface of the sea.
The putin is the most punctual of
birds in the matter of it's annual migra-
ton.
The moose deer has the largest horns
of any animal. They often weigh from
fifty to sixty pounds.
The boa and python have the largest
number of ribs of any animals, the
number being 320 pairs.
Some few birds, notably the blue
throat, accomplish the whole of their
migratory journey in one stupendous
effort.
The reindeer can endure more than
any other draft animal except the
camel. A reindeer has been known to
pull 200 pounds at ten miles an hour
for twelve hours.

that the amendment should be read
for information. 1t proved to be an
amendment to place anthracite coal

A WEAK HEART.
Hill Climbing or Stair Mounting
VIII Strengthen the Organ.


1t is not many years ago that the be-
lief prevailed that a sufferer from
heart disease was in constant peril
whenever he moved and that the nearer
he APPROACHED absolute rest the better
it was for his heart This is still true
in respect to certain forms Of heart dis
case-those due to actual disease or de
generation Of the heart muscles-but
when tl4t disease is ia the valves, as it
is in the majority Of cases, the modern
teaching is that properly regulated ex-
ercise is beneficial This is founded
upon the common sense view that the
heart is like other muscles in that it
can be strengthened by exercise to
meet increased calls upon it.
When the valves Of pump get out
of order, it requires greater force to
move a given quantity Of water. If
this force can be applied, it will make
up for the defect in the valves. The
same principle holds good in the case
of the diseased heart; the valVular de-
feet must be made good-'compensa-
ton is the medical term for this proc
ess-by increased strength in the heart
muscle.
The heart must be able not only to
meet the ordinary, everyday extra
strain-this it does automatically, as it
were, by the unaided efforts of nature
but it must be stronger than neces.
sary, just as it is in health, to meet
some extra strain caused by illness,
sudden nervous shock or some abso-
luteIy necessary eXertion. 1t is evident,
therefore, that a diseased heart must
to assure the safety of the patient be
strengthened beyond the requirements
of a quiet life.
This is accomplished in various ways,
but none is better for the purpose than
hill climbing or stair climbing, the for
mer for pleasant days, the latter for
bad weather. The exercise should, of
course, be taken under the direction of
physician, for it can easily be over
done, in which case one of the bad con-
ditions against which it is the object
IF the exercise to provide will be arti-
IDEALLY produced and the heart will be
Overtaxed before it is strong enough to
withstand the extra strain.-Yo uth's

MAY GO TO WASHINGTON.
Prince Henry of PIesse May Be Ger
man Ambassador

Berlin. Dec. .3.-In the event of DR..
Won HolIeben's retirement from the
post as ambassador at Washington,
which is considered possible within
= wear. Emperor Williams choice of
his successor is Prince Henry Of
Plesse. The prince returned from
the United States, where he attended
the opening of the new building Of
the New York chamber Of commerce
keen for the appointment at Wash
ington. His desire was conveyed to
the emperor when approved Of. His
majesty attaches considerable impCT-
lance to the social side of the en-
bassy at Washington and considers
that the wealthy prince and princess
of Plesse are especially fitted to dis
pense German hospitality at the CAPT
tai.
The Plesse family is powerful and
the matter will not be allowed to rest.
Prince Henry of Plesse only left
the diplomatic service because Of for
mer Chancellor Won Capriyi's ruling
that any one marrying foreigner
must resign his post. Chancellor Won
Buelow's candidate is Dr. Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein, the German minister
to China. Another possibility is Bar
on Speck Won Sternburg, German con-
sui general at Calcutta, who is not
unfavorably regarded at the foreign
office, though he is liable to attack
from some quarters as he is supposed
to be an unusually warm friend of the
United States. Baron Won Sternberg's
friends affirm that President Roosevelt,
six months ago, expressed prefer
enee for baron to succeed DR.. Won
Hollebkn when the latter is retired.

dent appears to have been conveyed
