DANGER IN A WATERsPoUT.
Passed Close to Ocean Liner, Almost
Causing Panic.

Passed Close to Ocean Liner, Almost
Causing Panic.
Such passengers of the Koenigin
Luise as had never seen a waterspout
had an opportunity of looking one
over, as that vessel was nearing port,
and looking it over at such close
range as to cause many to shrink back
In alright.
1t was on Monday noon and on the
outer edge of the Gulf Stream when
the spout was first discovered. 1t
was about five miles distant and broad
off the starboard bow The word went
round that waterspout was in sight,
and the 500 passengers who were pre-
pairing for luncheon hurried on deck
to see. The captain, with his chief
officer, Joined the fourth officer, who
was keeping watch on the bridge, and
narrowly watching the swirling mass.
calculated that it would clear the YES
sci and that it would not be necessary
to alter her course in order to avoid it..
The spout rapidly drew near, and
with base bubbling and frothing went
swirling by short 80 feet under the
stern, making as it passed a loud hiss
ing, which was described like that of
escaping steam.
Just then rain squall came by, and
after it passed the spout was seen
astern, dim and shadowy, like long
waving ribbon suspended from the
clouds.
Captain Volger estimated the pyra-
n lu-shaped base to be 20 feet in diam
eter and the body about 5 feet in
thickness.-New York Herald.

When Mr.. Taggart Of Indiana was

that he would be in charge Of the

canada,s Idea Of Reciprocity.

The Canadians, it is now settled, do
not favor such reciprocity as that de.
manded by the Massachusetts friends
of reciprocity in the Democratic party.
The Canadians would be perfectly
willing to have free exchange of all
raw materials, but they have given
England a preferential tariff and will
not consent to admit American manu-
features to Canada on fair terms. The
Canadians are doing well as they are,
and are not as eager as formerly for
American business. The Americans,
on their part, are pretty sure to get a
large dose of Canadian trade, and are
shy of any such reciprocity as the
Canadians will assent to, since such
reciprocity would be death to the ag-
ricultural and other important New
England industries.-Lewiston (Me.)

To Sterilize Crinkirq Water,

Here Is the latest recipe for steri-
lizing drinking water and killing off
the typhoid germ: Put four drops
of tincture OF iodin in half a gallon Of
water and permit 1t to stand at least
half an hour. By the erd of tha. time
it will be as harmless as distilled
water. Many persons have not the
facilities for making distilled water
Boiling 1t also entails certain amount
OF trouble. In either case the water
is fiat and unpleasant to the taste.
The few drops OF iodin impart practi-
cally no taste to the amount of water
