MANY WERE DROWNED
WIDE DEVASTATION BY STORM IN
JAMAICA.
Crops Destroyed and Houses Wrecked
on the Eastern End of the
Island.

A dispatch from Kingston Jamaica, yes
terday says: The eastern portion of the
island has been completely denuded OF its
crops. the rivers are flooded and many men
were carried out to sea and drowned. Con-
sidering the damage to property during the
hurricane the loss of life is comparatively
small though the present estimate is that
the death list will reach fifty. Hundreds of
persons were injured. and there were nu-
merous hairbreadth escapes The property
: loss is estimated at s100O0.0OO.
The effects of the hurricane upon the Is
land of Jamaica were greater than at hrst
believed. Port Antonio, on the north coast.
was completely overwhelmed Only six
houses were left standing there. The United
Fruit Companys wharves. offices. hotel and
plantations were utterly demolished. Five
of the company's steamers. including the
Simon Dumois, Alfred Dumois and Brigh-
, ton, were driven ashore. but lying In
easy positions. Port Maria. another town
on the north coast. also suffered similarly.
The coast is strewn with wreckage OF local
sailing boats.
1t is feared that the loss of life has been
heavy, thirty fatalities already having been
reported. principally among seamen-
The entire eastern end of the island has
been devastated. Villages have been wiped
out and public buildings and churches de-
molished Thousands of the peasantry. rem
dered homeless and destitute, are wander
ing about seeking food and shelter. The
destruction of the banana plantations has
been complete and the fruit trade is para
lyzed for the next twelve months. Hun
dr. eds of prosperous fruit growers have been
brought to bankruptcy and ruin.
The western end of the island. which 1t
was at first supposed had escaped. also suf-
fered considerably. though not to the extent
which the eastern end did. The new banana

were also injured. The Norwegian steamer

sition. Several sailing vessels were wreck

there are fears that there may be re-

A FORMIDABLE RIFLE.
With q Charge of Cordite This Wea.
pom VIII Send a Bullet
Ten Miles.

A great advance has been made In
small arms by George f. Rounds. OF
Plymouth, Mass, which may have a
wonderful important bearing on the
ornaments of the world and the battles
Of the future. for through his sugges-
ton the range of the modern rifle has
been greatly increased and its penetra-
ton more than doubled.
The result is finished rifle of the
Winchester model of 1895, short. like
the old civil war carbine, but unlike
them it has a tapering barrel which APP
rroaches one-half inch in thickness at
the rear end and is formed Of a fine
piece of nickel steel which gives a
maximum of strength. The gun is OF
.405 bore. and the cartridge looks like
any other except perhaps the shell is
let fits in. Inside the bright brass shell
is charge of 80 grains of cordite. a
smoke less powder which has long been
in favor by the users Of the big British
naval guns. and as used in them re-
sembling the long black flexible strings
of licorice found in the confectionery
stores, the strips being bundled into
fagots for the big cannon. which, OF
course. is not done in Mr.. Rounds gun.
Fifty-two grains of cordite, it is as
serted, has the explosive power of near
ly a pound of common black rifle pow
der, and it will drive the 300-grain soft
nose, tin-coated, bullet out with a muz-
zle velocity of 2,204 feet per second,
while at 100 yards range the striking
energy is represented by 1926 foot
pounds.
From tests made by the Winchester
company, it is calculated the gun fired
at an elevation of As degrees will throw
its projectile distance of ten miles,
while at shorter ranges its enormous
muzzle velocity gives it very fiat
trajectory, amounting at ordinary
ranges to almost point blank shooting

In reference to the use OF alum bak.
Ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, OF the
State University OF Missouri, says:
The deletcrious effects OF alum and
the soluble salts Of alumina upon the

small Quantities. are too well known
TO need relating; their use In baking

stricted"
The Effects OF the continuous use OF
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in a medical publication
ALUM taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion OF the food.
1T is an irritant which infames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
1T is On astringent and tends to con-
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
1T renders the albumen Of the food
partially insoluble. and therefore takes

free flow OF the blood through the or

Its continued absorption into the
