GREAT LOSS OF LIFE IN SICILY.
p Tidal Wave Comes With a De-
wasting Cyclone---volcano
Became Active.

London, Sept. 26.-A dispatch from
Rome today announces that a severe
cyclone has swept over Catania, a
city on the east coast of Sicily.
Catania is flooded and many houses,
including the villa Bellini have been
damaged. The railroads have suffered
seriously. The cyclone also wrought
havoc at Modica, town of Sicily,
where many persons we're killed.
Mount Etna shows further signs Of
activity and the volcano of Stromboli
is still active.
Syracuse, Sicily, Sept. 26.-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 great distance.
It is reported from Modica, 80 miles
west from Syracuse, that hundred
bodies have already been found, but
that the number of dead bodies swept
away by. the torrent is unknown.
The newspaper Fracassa expresses
the belief that some four hundred peo-
pie have been killed
The torrent destroyed everything on
the ground floors in houses in the low
er portions of Modica. Bridges have
disappeared and damage amounting to
many million lire has been done. a
lire is worth 20 cents. The survivors
of the catastrophe have taken refuge
in the hills. A relief committee and
search parties have been organized at
Modica The disaster is supposed to
have been due to marine water
spout. The German steamer Caprera
was wrecked at Catania after terri

There are many ingenious devices in
the way of machine irons fer pressing
purposes, but there are few equal to the
new electric iron recently obtained by
Wallace Berry of this city. There are
said to be three other electric irons in
the city, but this differs from them all
in that the heat produced is enormous,
as it consumes $50 watts per hour. The
beauty of the electric iron is that it re-
quires less than three minutes to reach
its higheS. temperature. The cOnstruc-
ton of this iron is very simple. The
outer portion of the iron is made of
ordinary steel, but the fiat of the iron
is very thin and just inside of this is a
coil set in cement, through. which the
electricity passes. Thus the whole
heat is right next to the garment that
is being pressed. The convenience of
this iron outside Of heating is similar
10 many others. 1t requires no stand,
has stud or shank & in, in diameter.
and has a space for collar in between
the handle and iron of pa in. The cleo
tricity is supplied from an electric light
wire through wire connected with the
iron.

turkeys and if this statement is true
we shall have to go to Vermont and
the West for our supply. Still, it may
not be SO bad as it looks, for each

scarce. but just about Thanksgiving
time the market is usually well sup
