streets of Krushevo are said to be
strewn with the dead and the survivors

woman and child. The women We're
subjected to the most terrible atrocities
by the soldiers.

BIG FALL OF ToADs IN UTAH.
Millions of Them Dropped from Clouds
Durinq Thunder Storm.

Ogden, Utah, Aug. 2f.-Saturday
night an unusual thunderstorm swept
over the northern part of Weber coun-
ty, A tremendous rainfall was accom-
panied by great fall of toads. Yester-
day morning people coming to Ogden
encountered an army of hoppers in
Taylor precinct. There were millions OF
them from an inch to an inch and one
half long. They We're so deep in the
highway that they clogged the wheels
of vehicles, and it was with difficulty
that teams could get thru. Nothing
like it was ever seen or known in this
section. The theory was advanced that
the storm was the end of distant
cloudburst, but where the cloud picked
up the toads is a mystery.

that is hard to decide. Recently the
railroad companies have been discard

According to Consul General Guenther at

market for condensed eggs, which, accord
ing to his information. are prepared from
ordinary eggs by depriving them Of their
super1uous water and adding sugar When
being prepared for use some water is add
ed and the mixture quickly beaten, and it
can then be hardly distinguished from
fresh eggs. These condensed eggs are put
up for the South African market in her

from one to several pounds. A one-pound
box contains about fifteen eggs There is
also favorable opportunity in the Orange

NEW LIFE SAVING APPARATUS.
The Drifter Balloon Float is a Recent
Invention

The drifter balloon float as a life-saving
apparatus is the subject of a report to the
State Department by United States Consul
Jackson at La Rochelle, France. He de-
scribes 1t as an ingenious and very simple
apparatus, which is used to carry rope
from a vessel in distress to land, and vice
versa, by means of which the passengers
and crew of the vessel can be rescued.
1t is formed by a specially shaped balloon
which tows an apparatus formed by two
pieces of timber Joined to form right
angle. In order that 1t may be maintained
in a proper position, there is lead attached
to the under side as ballast. This drift
ter again lows a rope 4,91S to 6,560 feet
long, which is to be used as a pass rope
between the vessel in distress and the land
The drifter is connected with the balloon
float by a regulating arrangement by
means of which, before the drifter is
thrown at sea, an angle from 90 to 80 de-
grees from the direction Of the wind is sup
posed to be obtained.
The balloon float is composed of three
wooden or light metal hoops, covered with
a special tissue. When not in use it folds
up like an ACCORDION and occupies very
small space. To use it one draws the folds
apart and it initiates itself automatically;
the valve is then closed and the balloon is
fastened to the drifter.
The balloon float then draws the drifter
TO distance with a speed and strength pro-
portionate to the force of the wind, for the
stronger the wind the more efficacious the
appliance; the drifter steers 1t like a rud-
der.
On the arrival Of the line carrier either
on board the ship in distress or on the
shore, 1t Is drawn out of the water and
connection is established between the land
and the ship
The balloon float is provided externally
with loops and strings to which, in case of
collision or laundering of the ship, eighteen
to twenty persons can cling and there wait
for help. They may be carried to land by
the balloon float Consul Jackson saws the
invention should prove, to be very useful
one on account Of its simplicity and prac-
ticability.

where you are convinced that some great
occult moral principle underlies these
differences. which are after all only SUPER

principle and Its ramifications. you are
bound to have your first real satisfaction
from the problem. though you probably
will not be able to get off the fence In
your cogitations on this aspect of 1t.

HOW MANY MEALS A DAYp
Some Conflicting Theories as to Eating
and Drinking.
From the Boston Transcript.


From the Boston Transcript.
Have you ever taken time to reckon the
multiplicity of the theories nowadays with
regard to the number of meals that should
fill out the days fare and the hours at
which they should be eaten? If you have
done this the probability is that you
emerged from the study in arithmetic
convinced that 1t makes precious little
difference what a man Is doing as long
as he is possessed of sufficient amount
of faith in the line he is following.
For you can easily call to mind half a
dozen of your acquaintance who say
that their health has improved 100 per
cent since they have Cancelled their break
fasts and took to eating a rather hearty
luncheon. And within sound of your voice
are as many other persons who de-
clare they never knew what perfect
health meant till they cut out the midday
meal altogether, allowing a satisfying
breakfast and a not too late dinner to
cover the amount of food consumed
through the day.
Then come to your mind the lusty ex-
ponents Of the theory that five meals a
day are none too many to keep the body
in fuel, and another set who gloat over
the robust condition they have wooed and
won through clinging to a regimen that
allows but one square meal day.
And If you feel to take a firm stand for
or against any one article of food or
drink and are looking for examples to
help you to decision, you get quite as
much confused in any attempt to decide
who has the rights Of the case with him.
because 1t affects him in such and such
way, while another will tell you that he
never could get through his days work
without its gently stimulating influence.

5000 men, forming a body one-third as large
