Rage Of the Element t.,

During the past two months Dame Nature
has been in the most irritable Of moods. She
has been persistently engaged IN drowning
burning, shaking and blowing humanity of
the face of the earth. Floods, fire, earth.
quake and tornado have been kept working
overtime in the destruction of humankind
some of the disasters being Of the most ap'
palling character. While of varied char
acter and extensive, the record has not been
broken, the combined result falling far short
OF Mt. Pelee's list. The most marked phen-
onienon is that OF the widely dispersed aud
exceptional rainfalls. These so-called cloud
bursts have been unusually frequent and the
almost instantaneous fall of amazing vol.
umes of water are reported with regularity
and persistence that would seem to imply
the existence of unusual meteorologic con-
ditions.

Don't Have To Tell.

1t is not generally known that newspaper
people are not obliged to give the source of
information Of any news item published. The
Maryland Legislature in 1896 passed a law
excusing reporters and editors from disclos-
ing the source of their information. The
law is as follows: mo person engaged in,
connected with, or employed on a newspa-
per or journal shal! be compelled to disclose
in any legal proceeding or trial, or before
any committee of the Legislature, or else
where, the source of any news or information

John O. Hoover has started another battle
with the W. NJ X. r. Some years ago It
will be remembered that he had law suits and
other troubles about his claims to land along
by Glen Alton Spring. The road put chains
up and he got man to drive into them with
four horses. They broke one and crippled
horse. They drftcd into the courts and
out again. Then he tackled the State of
Maryland. There was talk Of his selling
milk in which WAS hidden whiskcy. Moth
ing came of it but great demand for his
breed of cows.
He went away over to Pennsy. Last week
he returned to the front. He squared off a
bit of ground right near the bridge at Glen
Alton on the side of prccipice ana there
has dug out foundation, 25x25. He an
nounced that be held title from David
Barkdoll and proposed to build II house. The
railroad hands came along and on Saturday
filled up the holes. The road claims there
is no title in either Barkdol or Hoover The
latter says he will proceed to dig his founda-

Largest Map of the U. 3.

Growing on six acres of a gentle Southern
slope OF lesson Hill at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition, St. Louis, is the largest
geographically correct map ever constructed.
This map is 4S0 feet long from east to west
and extends from north to south 240 feet.
The map is the main feature of the large
epcn air exhibit by the bureau of Plant In
dustry of the Department OF Agriculture,an
is personally superintendent by d. A. Br0de,
late superintendent of the Western Wash
ngton Experipcnt Station, under the direc-
ton of Prof w. J Spllmau, agrostologist
of the United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
A belt of blue grass lawn twenty feet wide
establishes the boundary and coast lines OF
this gigantic map. The boundary lines be
tween the states are marked by cinder paths
three feet wide. The territory comprising
the fourteen states and territories of the
Louisiana Purchase is marked by white
gravel walk. The states themselves are to be
planted in growing crops of the principal
agricultural products of the state. The Gin
der and gravel walks serve as promenades
and are of sufficient width to permit the fret
passage of visitors. Thus labyrinth OF pas
sageways is created and the visitor may weut
his way through the maze and see by actua
demonstration just what crops are grown il
every part of the United States and how IT, cl
are raised The cereals will be the features
of the great northwest, while down in Flor
