Montgomery, Ala Oct. 5.-Presi-
dear W. H seymour Of the Alabama

received reports enough to justify hfh

the storms Of last week He be-
lieyed that the crop IN Alabama wsa
Al least 20 per cent short before that
time, which would give q total aiort-
age Of the season OF something like 3a
per cent.
Mr.. Seymour now has reports from
40 counties and the record Of devas-
tation - pitIable Whole fields have
been destroyed sid IN many cases the
fields are ruined. The only section
Of the state that escaped maximum
injury Is the eastern section, and
some portions 70 the north. where the
cotton was not knocked from the

1t certainly was high time we were

regular old swell along with it, So
hastily dumping our belongings into

launched her quickly through the surf

Brown-Tail Moths in Maine.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 81. Prof. F. E.
Hitchings Of Waterville has just returned
from Bar Harbor vicinity, where he had
been for a week He found 1900 brown-tail
moth nests at Bar Harbor alone. He says
the nests seem to be evenly distributed in
that section. The people are awake to the
danger and are planning for the extermna-
ton.
Capt PhiIbrook is at present journeying
along the Maine coast from Bath to Rock
land and has found many nests. He says
the islands off the coast have also become
infested and each island has become a re-
cruiting station for the pests for breeding
purposes.
The menace which the moths offer to the
Maine coast and interior has assumed such
proportions that the U. S. government has
taken hold of the matter, and Col. w. M.
Black, who has charge of the river and
harbor improvements in this section, has
issued orders to the garrisons to participate
in the work of extinction in their respective
districts.

A BIG CHIMNEY.

One of the Largest in New England.
The big chimney at the plant of the
United Shoe Machinery Company is
completed. 1t is remarkable piece of
work and is one of the largest stacks or
chimneys i'll New England.
1t is made in two sections; the first
from the foundation to the offset, which
is made of two separate walls, one on
the outside eight inches thick, and the
other on the inside four inches thick
with four inch air space between the
two.
From the offset to the top there is but
one wall and that is six inches in thick
ness.
The total height from the foundation
to the top is 216 feet and two inches.
The height from the foundation to the
offset is 81 feet and from the offset to
the top 1875 feet and 3 inches.
The outside diameter at the bottom is
eleven feet and six inches and at the
top ten feet, while the inside diameter
from bottom to top in nine feet.
The foundation is thirty feet square
and five feet deep. All the material
which was used in the construction Of
the stack was mixed and holSted by
hand. 1t is composed Of cement and
steel bars and is said to be the best and
most strongly constructed chimney
known. There were used in its con
structiOn: two hundred and thirty tons
of cement, $50 cubic yards of sand, 90
1856 lineal feet of 1-4X1 IA steel bars
equal to six tons) and 5000 lineal feet
of IS inch round steel bars.
The work was done by the Weber
Steel Concrete Chimney Company, and
has taken three months to build. The
largest chimney built by this company
is at Butte, Montana, and is $50 feet in
height and eighteen feet in diameter
