Falls is the guest of her daughter,
Mrs. John Cograve, of East Con-
gress street.
There are few people in western
Wisconsin who do not know one or
more of the Irish family of Metho-
dist preachers, the best known of
which is Rev. Joseph Irish, former
ly presiding elder. The following
item from the N. w. G. Advocate
may interest several readers:
"Rev and Mrs. w. r. Irish of
the West Wisconsin conference
spent Sunday, Jan. 10, with their two
daughters in Chicago while on the
way to visit daughter in Lawton,
Okla, and son in Dallas, Tex.
They expect to return to their home
in Baraboo in about four weeks"
The legislature met in St. Paul in
special session last Tuesday to dis
cuss the new tax law, prepared by a

All feel that the law is seriously de-
fective. The double taxation of
mortgaged property, the assessing
of stocks of goods worth half mil
lion at few thousand, the taxation
of money in savings banks, are
among the subjects to be discussed.

Syracuse, Sicily, Sept. 27.-For "a
hours before the cyclone burst over
the island violent storm ragged on
the eastern coast of Sicily. The path
of the cyclone was 124 miles long,
and everything in the line of the
storm was destroyed.
The sea swept inland for several
kilometres, doing enormous damage,
while there were violent submarine
agitations between Sicily and the
mainland. Along the railroad from
Catania to Palermo the force of the
cyclone was such that rails were torn
up and hurled to a great distance.
1t is reported from Modica (32 miles
southwest from Syracuse) that a
hundred bodies have slready been
found, but that the number of dead
bodies swept away by the torrent is
unknown.
The newspaper Fractlssa expresses
the belief that some 400 people have
been killed.
The torrent destroyed everything
on the ground floors in houses in the
lower portions of Modica. Bridges
and roads have disappeared, the dam
age amounting to many million lire.
"a lire is worth about twenty cents.)
The survivors of the catastrophe
have taken refuge in the hills. A re-
lief committee and searching parties
have been organized at Modica. The
disaster is supposed to have been due
to a marine waterspout.
The German steamer Caprera was
wrecked at Catania after a terrible

Locat,on az volcanoes.

Volcanoes generally occur near the
seacoast or on the sea floor, but con-
siderable number of cones and flows
are known far in continental interiors.
Volcanoes are more numerous on the
lands bordering the Pacific ocean and
the Mediterranean sea than on the
coasts of the Atlantic, but many vol
canic islands are known in the At
Iantic, as well as in the Pacific and
Indian oceans. 1t Is estimated that
over 800 volcanoes are now active,
about 100 of these standing on the con-
tinents. All high islands Of small area,
