The potato is one of the most yalu-
able plants we have. Besides being
one OF the most necessary articles of
Iood, 1t has a variety of other uses.
A great quantity of the starch used in
our laundries is made from it. and aft
er the starch has all been separated
from the pulp what is left is used in
the manufacture of boxes. From the
stems and leaves of the plant a fluid
that produces sleep is made. In many
places bread, cake and buildings are
made of potato flour.

The shock was felt at 2:55 a. n
It lasted for eighteen seconds at Ca
tanZarO and soon thereafter was felt
at MeSSina, Reggie, MOnteleOne, Mar
tinanO, Stefaconi, Piscopio, Triparni,
Zammaro, Cessaniti, Nadia, Olivadi
and other points. Scenes of indescrib-
able terror ensued. Women aroused
from their sleep rushed half clothed
into the streets, screaming with fear,
carrying their babies, and dragging
along their other children, and calling
for help on the Madonna and the
saints. The men escaped into the open
with their families, all calling on their
favOrite saints for protection.
Prisoners in Jails Were Frantic
The cafes were taken by assault by
the strangely CARRIED crowd, but as
daylight broke without a repetition of
the earthquake the crowd gradually
melted away until by a. m. the
streets had almost assumed their nor
nal appearance except in the ruined
villages, where the inhabitants had not
homes to go to- The general confu-
sion was added to by dreadful cries
from the jails where the prisoners
were beside themselves with fright,
and i'll some cases mutinied, but fortu-
nately all the prisoners were kept with
in bounds.
Troops, engineers and doctors have
to assist in the work of rescue and
salvage. The ministry of the interior

tute and Minister Of Public Works

The United States law as to citizen
