RIDING AN AVALANCHE.
Miraculous Escape Of Seven Tourists
Who Had Worn Ski.

From the London Daily Mail.
Seven Alpine tourists, representing five
different nationalities, namely, two English
men, a German count and his valet, a
young Russian lady. a Dutchman and a
Swiss guide, have just had an extraor-
binary escape from destruction by an ava
lanche.
the Aroser Weisshorn on ski. When about
700 feet from the summit, which is $40
feet above sea level, the steepnesS of the
ascent and the hardness of the snow neces-
STATED the removal of the ski, and the
party proceeded on foot. When nearing the
top an immense avalanche suddenly rushed
down the mountain side.
Most of the party at once sat down to re-
ceive the impact on their backs, and some
succeeded In riding the waves Of snow with
tclerable success for some distance. Then
came series Of somersaults Five of the
party were involved in the avalanche and
four were swept down to the bottom of the
slope. distance of about TOO feet, arriving
in all manner Of attitudes.
The German count collided with a rock
and was cut about the face; the Dutchman
finished up in standing posture buried in
snow to his chin. The Russian lady was
throughout with remarkable pluck and EN-
durance.
Wonderful to relate, no bones were
broken. and all escaped with few bruises
and scratches. and reached Arosa in safety.
Had not the ski been taken of before the
accident, serious results must almost GER
tainly have ensued.

WAR AFFECTS SILK INDUSTRY.
Supply Of Raw Material From China
and Japan is Uncertain.

From the Springfield Union.
A peculiar situation exists in the local
silk industry at present. Just as the new
crop of silk began to appear in large guam
titles, and operatives were anticipating a
busy season, the outbreak of war between
Russia and Japan makes the question Of
silk supply very uncertain. Roughly speak
ing, one-third Of the raw silk used here
comes from Japan, and two-thirds from
China AS long as hostilities prevail In that
quarter the silk traffic will be involved in
uncertainty. There are several reasons for
this In the first place. the production Of
silk by the japanese will soon be checked
by the war diverting men from the indus
try. Then again. silk shipments are liable
to be cut off by the blockades and this ap-
plies to China as much as to japan.
Almost the entire supply Of silk comes
from these two countries. The amount
Of Italian silk used has grown less year by
year. There was time when the mills
went to Italy for good deal of their silk.
and thought they could not get the best
grades anywhere else. The quality of silk
produced in the east has steadily improved.
especially in China. and much OF the Chi
nese product Is now regarded as not whit
inferior to that which comes out Of the
Mediterranean. while the low wages paid
in the orient give the eastern culturists an
advantage. Silk is no longer produced in
this country, save for exhibition purposes
Much OF the Chinese silk is of stronger
fiber than that from Japan and hence is
preferred in the manufacture of spool silk
In the weaving of silk fabrics. Chinese silk
is commonly used for the warp for the
same reason, and Japanese for the filling
For knit goods a good deal Of Japanese
silk Is used.
Just why Chinese silk should be stronger
than Japanese is not plain, even to those
who handle silk. The explanation may be
in the climate or the food conditions of
the silk worms, or 1t may be in superior
patience or ingenuity Of the Chinese in this
particular.
The eastern silk is shipped overland from
new crop was received last week. Other
large consignments are now on their way
across the continent.

that II might Be called radical. yct 1t VIII
be In harmony with the sentiment on the
convention, which anticipates an attack
from tn, democrats and proposes TO meet IL
by counter attack in advance.
In the general gossip have run across an
unusual amount Of curiosity to know about
the cabinet succession to Secretary MOODY
when he leaves the Navy for the Depart
ment of Justice, and about Secretary Cor
telyou's successor in the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. 1t might even Do
suspected that some OF the old leaders,
sooner than see the administration go
wrong, would consent to give advice with
regard to both those places. The greater
interest relates to Commerce and LABOR,
and the hint Is thrown out that there Is an
opening for a big business man or Dig
manufacturer.
There is a popularity about the vice
presidency which strikes every old observer
at national conventions. Some prominent
men are lodging 1t. because they think 1t
would injure their chances for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1908. Secretary
Shaw's Iowa friends have made that quite
clear. They think his prospects will be bet
ter If he remains in the cabinet at the head
of the Treasury Department Speaker Can
mons Illinois friends do not have this as
their real reason in so strenuously antago-
nizing the attempted movement for him.
Their objection is that the state is much
more highly honOred by having him as the
Speaker of the House. At the same time
some of Mr.. Cannons intimates, who argue
that mentally and physically he will be as
strong in 1908 as he now Is. believe that
the party might turn to him, and they
would much rather take the chance of this
happening with him in the Speakers chair
instead Of presiding over the Senate. A
passing boom for Gov. Herrick of Ohio was
objected to by some of his friends on the
ground that he might want to be a candi-
date for President in four years and would
stand a better chance by continuing as
governor of Ohio than by becoming vice
president.
On the other hand, Senator Fairbanks
supporters have made 1t very plain that II
he is nominated for Vice President he can
not be expected to forego his presidential
ambition. They look upon 1t as a step to
the succession.
Representative Hit is the only one con-
corning whose attitude there is no doubt.
He is a straightforward candidate for Vice
President, and for nothing else

Food for Truant Boys.
IN the Chicago Record-Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald
Scientists are constantly adducing facts 10
demonstrate a close relation between diet
and deeds, between food and morals. The
man with the apple cure" for badness
and the man who advocates prunes as a
deterrent against vicious tendencies may
not be far from scientific verify after all.
In any event, 1t appears to be well recog-
nized that in the management of any kind
of reformatory school for the reclamation
of Maynard boys their diet must have first
consideration. II there is a combination OF
food that will induce boy to love his
teacher and that will destroy the tendency
to play truant, Superintendent MacQueary
of the parental school intends to find It,
incidentally, however the superintendent
has made an important economic discovery
He finds that 16 cents day will buy SUI
ficient nourishing food to keep a boy In
first-class physical condition. This includes
good cereal foods eggs milk, roast leg OF
mutton and a variety Of vegetables, with
bread and butter. Notwithstanding the alb
sence of pie and fig pudding. there is little
danger that this tempting bill Of fare may
encourage truancy.

Trout Fishing In Wyoming.
From Field and Stream


Southern Wyoming will shortly become
the paradise of the trout fishermen. It
abounds in splendid streams that have not
yet been whipped. that fairly swarm with
trout The North Platte river. where it
RACES and tumbles across the line between
Colorado and Wyoming. is full of big fell
lows that call forth all the muscle and skill
and patience of the most skillful angler. The
Big Laramie. the Little Laramie and
streams that as yet have no names-all are
well stocked. 1t is strange that this won
derful trout country is not swarming with
sportsmen every season. To the SOUTH in
Colorado. the country is full of hotels and
cottages and cabins and camps. In the
Black Hills of South Dakota and the Big
Horn mountains of Wyoming the fisher
men flock in large numbers. undertaking
longer journeys and undergoing greater
fatigues than are required to reach the
fishing grounds below Laramie City.
