Earth Gets Little Heat.

As matter OF fact, we get very
little heat at the hottest season of
tie year and in the hottest places. We
get but a pitiful proportion OF the
solar heat-one two-billionth part Of
it. The sun is pretty warm, to be
sure, but it is 92,500,0oo miles away
from us and what little heat we man
age to get comes to us through a
vast and empty refrigerator, whose
temperature is 200 degrees below
zero.-New York Post.

sy yesterday afternoon on the body of
Albert Brodeur. which was found lying

Brodeur's neck was found to he broken.
Coroner Henry j. Bruce, OF Burrillville.
Will hold an inquest this week to deter
mine If possible, how the man received
the injuries which caused his death.
From the stories told by persons who
were with Brodeur on Sunday and the
position and condition OF the body when
discovered, II was at first supposed that
death was the result OF alcoholism fol-
lowed by exposure and suffocation This
view Is not accepted by the relatives. al
though foul play is not hinted at The
most plausible theory thus far advanced
is that Brodeur fell from the verandah
of Fred Charest TO the ground a distance
OF 20 feet and broke his neck.

FOREST FIRES.
They Did Much Damage In the
Town Of Foster.

The recent forest fires which occurred
in the town of Foster were OF magni-
tude which was not at first fully appre-
ciated. and 1t Is difficult to estimate in
dollars and cents the actual damage
done. An area OF about six square
miles was affected to more or less de-
gree and the land over which the fire
was most destructive was in the neigh
borhood of $500 acres. A conservative
estimate of the damage Is given by a
resident as at least $4,000.
The territory affected Is a sort of tri-
angular section bounded by the Foster
Centre road the Howard Hin road and
the Briggs road Although the greatest
individual damage was done upon one
farm. owned 10Y job Randall, Jr the
fire branched out In lateral directions
and encroached upon number of other
estates and materially increased the to-
tai loss.
In addition to the places named the
fire Spread and did considerable damage
to about 40 acres on the farm owned by
DR. Lester S. Hill of this city and used
by him as summer residence, but be-
ing at present occupied by Charles

night was five feet lower At Columbia

has passed. and il is believed that the
worst is over. The big gorge in the
vicinity Of Washington borough aud
Turkey Hill, however, is still menace,
but the channel that has opened
through it along the York county side
Is thought to be large enough to carry
off the flood water. 1t is being constant
" widencd by the grinding of the ice
passing down and by the mud and
sand in the water Adviccs from Nc
Calls Ferry which is along the gorg-
cd section, state that the ice is fifty
feet high in many places in that vicini-
ty. The tracks Of the Columbia and
Port Deposit railroad for two miles
above McCalrs Ferry are covered with
water and ice. The electric plant Mt
