Newton, n. c., Oct. 24.-The quiet
of the Sabbath afternoon was broken
on yesterday by the whistle of the
Newton cotton mills-the signal OF d
fire in that part of town. soon large
volumes of black smoke arose and the
report was passed from lip TO lip as
people hurried to the scene that the
Cotton mill was on fire
When we reached the scene it was
discovered that the cotton warehouse
Of the Newton cotton mills were burn
ing. About fifty bales of cotton on
the platform were in flames and the
buildings were beginning to burn where
the woodwork could be reached by the
eager flames. The lapper-room of the
mill was in danger for cotton was
burning on a small platform just out
side the door.
The large hose of the mill were
speedily brought out and by the time
the fire company reached the scene
two streams were playing on the flames
one i'm an effort to save the mill and
the other to save the cotton inside the
warehouses
Finally the flames were gotten under
control and the mill saved. About two
hundred bales of cotton were badly
burned. While about one hundred were
only slightly injured and two or three
hundred were untouched by the flames.
Most Of the cotton was bought at ten
cents or nine and seVen-eighths. The
loss will be from twenty to twenty-five
thousand dollars, fully covered by in
surance The mill carried policies
amounting to thirty-five thousand dol
lars.
1t is reported that a small boy struck
q match to the cotton on the platform
and when it flashed UP he ran and gave
the alarm. His name has not yet been
learned and no arrests have been made
Two persons were knocked over by
the force of the water from the hose
accidentally turned in their direction
when they were at work. Jay Misen-
heimer ran a nail entirely through
his left hand while tearing down The
woodwork Of the warehouse.
The close proximity of the CataWba
cotton mill made it especially fortu-
mate that no strong wind was blow
ing in. that direction.
Some heroic work was done by the
members of the fire company and by
citizens. A drummer also lent valu-
able assistance.

NUT VALUES.

Chestnuts are starchy and take the
place of potatoes.
Brazil or cream nuts are very rich in
fat and should be blended with pc
cans, English walnuts or hazelnuts.
Black and white walnuts as well as
hickory nuts contain nitrogen and oil,
but no starch. Blend with rice or pota-
toes.
Cocoanuts contain very little nitro
gen, but are rich In oil. The fiber is
difficult of digestion. The cream and
milk are excellent for salads and
sauces.
Peanuts are very rich in nitrogen and
contain considerable starch and oil.
When boiled and mashed they are
much better than when roasted and
ground.
Almonds are really digesters or appe-
Tiers. They are too expensive to be
used alone in large quantities. Four
or five thoroughly masticated at the
end Of meal will frequently aid in
the digestion of other foods.-Ladies'

THE CASPIAN SEA.
One of the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.

One of the Remarkable Physical
Features of the Globe.
One of the most remarkable physical
features of the globe is the deep and
wide depression in the hollow of which
stands the Caspian sea and near TO II
the sea of Aral. The Caspian is nearly
as large as France. and its surface is
eighty-four feet below the level Of the
Black sea. The sea of Aral is nearly
as large as Ireland and is very little
over the sea level. Within recent geo
logical times the vast eXpanse in which
these lakes are found was sea. Its
floor has been gradually raised, and the
waters filling the depressions are all
that is left of an ancient Medlterra-
mean. A strange feature of both bodies
of water is that although they receive
large rivers, especially the Caspian,
into which the Nolga, the Ural river
and scores of streams from the Cau-
casus flow, both have for many years
been getting shallower Evaporation,
for they have no outlet exceeds the in
flow. But, for some climatic reason
probably, the sea of Aral and its neigh
Dor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1891
been increasing in depth. Whereas the
Caspian, like the Dead sea- is very
salt, owing to the rate of evaporation,
Aral and Balkhash are brackish only.
These remnants of what was once n
great sea opening into the ocean, as
the Mediterranean does now, still con-
tain marine fish and seals. Some of
the latter survive in the Aral and Bal
kal lakes, having gradually become
fitted for their habitat, though 1t is no
longer salt, but merely brackish, and,
in the case Of Baikal, actually fresh
water-London Telegraph.
