Neither the King nor the Prince Of
Wales likes Osborne. The climate does
not agree with them. But It does not
follow that the eldest son OF the Prince
Of Wales will take the same view
Then. too. Il has been questioned in
parliament whether the gift TO the ma
tion is Of sufficient value TO the latter as
to warrant the additional expense TO
the treasury which the maintenance Of
the place would involve. There are OBJ
jections from many quarters on eco
nOmic grounds to starting a new home
for deserving officers OF the military and
marine forces. and for their families on
the lines OF the Hampton Court palace.
Al a cost OF $4,000 a year, and Il has
been suggested that n means could be
found legally TO accept the gift from the
King and from his son, Il should be done
in such fashion that a sufficient por-
ton Of the land and park could be sold
for building purposes 10 defray the
maintenance OF the remainder.
The fact OF the matter is that the late
Queen was particularly anxious that the
Osborne estate should neither be broken
up nor become crown property. but
should remain the private domain Of
the sovereign for the time being. and
with the object Of preventing any other
disposition Of the property she inserted
stipulauons IN her will Of the most
cast-iron character.
Even had there been no legal obsta-
cles TO the transfer OF the property to
the nation In connection with the rights
Of little Prince David. legislative sane
ton would have been required for the
acceptance Of the Kings gift Of Osborne
owing to the fact that It entailed an ad-
ditional annual cost 10 the treasury OF
$4,000 a year. In parliament, however.

great, and IN the words Of G. BowIes

Eastern Storms and Floods.

The floods have caused the loss of
millions of dollars in crop. in Iowa.
a dispatch OF Sunday says that near
keokuk immense fields are seen in a
great lake with the shore Inc visible
only with a glass, where the high
bluffs bound the bottoms. Islands
dotting the river at its normal stage
have disappeared except for the tops
vi trees or fringe OF high shore willows
protruding slightly, like green coral
reefs Occasionally a house on piles
is seen, but generally only roofs pro
trude to mark the centers OF farms OF
corn. On the edge of the flood, corn
gradually rises on a slope, tasseled
tops, ears and stalks appearing in or
der. In few half-submerged fields
is shocked wheat in the background,
the remnants Of many more washed to
the Gulf OF Mexico.
At Baltimore fierce tornado I'M
rooted houses, capsized boats on the
harbor with the loss OF nine lives, and
two others were killed on land, one by
falling tree and another by live
wire. The storm lasted 20 minutes
and the wind attained a velocity OF Ga
miles.
The high water in Illinois creates
graves apprehension. Much damage
has already been done to farms and
rise OF another foot will inundate the
lower part OF Peoria and damage many
manufactures.
In New York many bridges have
been swept away in rural districts and
another layer OF mud is deposited over
the crops which were badly damaged
by flood fortnight ago. 1t will prob
ably complete their destruction. The
Genesee valley was entirely submerged
by torrential rains, and Sheridan was
inundated by cloudburst. Northern
Chautauqua county suffered severely.
The downpour was terrific, the damage
to crops immense and the communica.
ton by railroad almost suspended
from damage to tracks. Several lives
were lost.
In Missouri, large prairies ten or
twelve miles across are under water.
Lone Tree prairie, twelve miles square
is deserted, the population having fled
to Quincy, ILL.,, and the bluffs on the
Missouri side.
The loss in the Mississippi valley
from floods will it is said aggregate
50. 100000.
Three hundred square miles OF corn
and wheat land with growing crops
are under water between Keokuk and
and Hannital. The crops it is feared
will prove total loss.
Quite different state of affairs ex.
lists in Arizona. The grass has dried
up except in a few canyons and cattle
are dying by hundreds. Scores of
hores are being shot to save the water
and grass for cattle. Unless rain
comes within few days hundreds of
thousands Of dollars OF loss will befall
cattlemen.

A SCARE at the Penitentiary, at Sa-

the walls and doubling the sentries al
all points of possible assault. The
cause of alarm was that a citizen en-
countered on the public highway a
man on bicycle loaded down with
guns and pistols. A few rods further
on he met another rider similarly &C.
coutered. This unusual spectacle led
him to communicate with the prison
authorities and the incident, from late
experience, was deemed of sufficient

A NEW element of nature has been

active and is of extraordinary energy,
and consists Of ordinary bismuth and
of a new metal in proportion of q
thousand to one. The new metal can
be separated by the electrolytic process.
A chemical analysis of the new metal
is rendered very difficult by the fact
that ton Of ore contains hardly q
gram me of it.
