DISASTER AND RIOT
Spanish Troops Preserve Or
 der at the Capital.
HUNDREDS KILLED AT RESERVOIR
Foundations of WnterwOrlSs Under COnstructiOn at Madrid Gave Way. Death Roll May Reach 26O.
 Many Injured.

MADRID. April 1O.-By the collapse of new water reservoir just outside the city at least 150 workmen were killed and fully 100 injured, many of whom will die. There is possibility that the death roll may reach 25O, as 120 bodies have already been taken out. There were 400 at work at the time, and only seventy were taken out alive.
 An exact estimate of the casualties is as yet impossible. It is stated that there were 236 men in the lower part of the reservoir, all of whom were killed.
 The terrible accident started riot. and troops were ordered to the scene to preserve peace. ,. ..i,.g .-
 The Prince of the Asturias, the war minister, the governor of Madrid and a representative of the king went to the spot to superintend the work of rescue. Troops sent to the scene en- gagged in helping the sufferers and re- covering the bodies of the dead.
 King Alfonso was shooting when he heard of the disaster and immediately repaired to the scene. His arrival was the signal for ovations from the crowds. The king was deeply moved and insist ed upon personally supervising the re- lief measures.
 It appears that underneath the fOun- dation of the reservoir which gave way with such disastrous results were wa ter pipes used to supply the palace and old Madrid. It is stated that this was the cause of the subsistence and not the surface of the ground, which, when tests were made. sank only elev- en millimeters. The vault was built of cement, with iron girders, as were also the supporting columns. The first fall caused all the pillars to bend and the end of the ironwork to stretch. result ing in a general and uniform collapse
 Many heartrending incidents and painful scenes are reported Ten of those who were rescued alive have gone mad
 A huge crowd stood around the scene throughout the night watching the at tempts at rescue in the light of huge electric lamps. Crowds of wOrkmen and women carrying black flags have forced all the theaters to close King Alfonso had a telephone wire laid from the scene of the disaster to the palace and by that means was kept constantly informed. His maies, ty has visited the hospitals several times.
 One body was recovered from the ruins during the night. but none later Seven hundred workmen are engaged | in clearing the debris.

The Moro Useful Sex.

KS 5.e FROM Harper s weekly. a
Some interesting biological and sociology
tcal facts have lately been published about
one which are calculated to 3exalt the
nstensibly weaker sex in Its own eyes and
also on those Of men. We have previ-
Ously pointed out the conclusion reached
by certain scientists that the average life
of woman should, and under normal CIR
curnstances would. exceed slightly the av-
erage life OF mali In respect to duration.
Now comes an English biologist, Mr.. Y. III.
Montgomery. who, after u general review
of the data presented by the anatomy and
evolution of various invertebrate and YER
tebrate animals, maintains that the male
Is less developed and more embryonic than.
the female. So far as the Invertebrates
md the lower vertebrates are concerned,
the female Is clearly superior. When,

Roosevelt as a Boy in Germany.

Louis Vicreck in Success Magazine.
When in the summer of 1873 the Roose
welt children were introduced to the Mink
WITT family they had never spoken Ger
man, and conditions in Germany were al
together new to them. Nevertheless, they
soon adapted themselves to their new en-
vironment, especially Theodore, who
showed remarkable ability. A few days
after his arrival Miss Minkwitz's brother
came home from the University of Leip-
zig, at which he was studying, and told
the company a German students joke.
Everybody knows how deep these are.
This joke must have been particularly
good, for everyone laughed, most of all
Teddy. Fraulein Minkwitz was greatly
surprised at this, and asked hin how he
could understand 1t at all. Thereupon
Teddy proceeded to repeat the whole story
to her IN English IN a way which proved
beyond doubt that he saw the point. He
seemed to pick up things-one didn't know
how" she said.
At that time Frau Rat had In her SER
vice a good old servant girl, named Emily.
who had an admirer by the name of
Charles. a fact which had escaped the
Minkwitz family's attention altogether,
although the girl had stayed with them for
some years. Theodore had been in the
house but a few days when, one morning,
he created a sensation by saying, Emile,
ich bin Karl; ich liebe Du!" emily, l am
Karl; l love thee!')
He was p~assionately fond OF books on
natural science, especially OF Brehm's
''Thierleben," which he studied eagerly.
One day he got 1T into his head thai he
must have a rat. a mole, or a hamster.
When he asked Miss Minkwitz where he
could get one she told him that she didn't
know. Tile lad then began to investigate
for himself, and finally came back from
the city swinging in triumph, like a tro-
ply, a dead mole and q dead German
marmot. He had discovered a man who
had white mice for sale. and from him had
procured what he wanted He next went
to work to strip the animals of their skins
in the kitchen, and prepared to boil them
in one of Frau Minkwitz's saucepans. But
here the GOOD old Frau Rat intcrfered. He
therefore went to the brick yard, built
himself a little oven from bricks. skinned
the animals. and. after having boiled them,
prepared them carefully, putting together
skillful!y all the parts of the skeleton.

Jews in a Rural Colony.

From the Springfield, Mass. Republican.
The founding of a rural colony of
Russian Jews not far from Baltimore
is a hopeful sign. These Jews have
lived in the city, earning their bread
in sweatshops, until they worked out
their scheme to secure land. Thirty
families of them organized and by con-
tributing each 81 q week they finally
accumulated $500. With this money,
about two years ago. they secured $50
acres of farm and in Howard county,
worth $14, 500, leaving upon the property
a mortgage of s12.0 OO. Each family was
given between eight and nine acres
upon which to make a home. The
women continued to do tailoring for
the city firms. but under h more
wholesome conditions of rural life. The
men proceeded to cultivate the land to
provide food for the families, with per-
haps some surplus for the market. In
winter the men, too. have pursued their
old city occupation OF tailoring. In
view of the ~ingrained tendency of the
Jews to live in cities and avoid agli-
cultural life. this Maryland experiment
is highly interesting.
