the city is i'm ruins and the flames,
which owing to the lack of water can
not be checked except by the blowing
up with dynamite of buildings in their
path, are still sweeping through the
city. 1t is utterly impossible at pres

Thousands of people are homeless
and many are huddled in the parks and
bubble squares beside the household
goods they were able to save. The
Xeity Is under martial law and all the
downtown streets are patrolled by
aavalry and infantry. The details of
roops are also guarding the banks.

Common Sense In Exercise

Exercise In itself is no doubt exec.
lent, but is it we'll for a sane man tC
make it a fetish? Does it do a bust
ness man any good to swell the mus
cles Of his back by wrestling with a
rowing machine or to make his legs as
hard as railroad ties by galloping about
a canvas track? Is there any advan-
tage, after all, in developing the sinews
abnOrmally? Does a man who works
with his brain gain anything by try
ing to initiate a hodcarrier? The no
ton that the average business man
will be benefited by developing the
muscles of n stevedore is based on
nothing more tangible than wild theor.
1Zing. In favor of it is the allegation
that physical or brute strength spells
health. Against it is the obvious and
undoubted fact that millions of men
who take no more exercise than their
ordinary avocations require live to hale
and hearty old age, and the further
fact that the average athlete, for all
his sinew and vigor, is seldom more
healthy than the average desk slave OF
soft muscled man.-BaltimOre Herald.

Paris on Rations, 1894.

Paris is on ration, like a besieged
city. Each person receives from his
section a bakers card and is thereby
entitled to receive from the baker at
the maximum price as much bread as
the municipals consider sufficient for
him and his family. This ration varies
weekly. The baker is bound to calcu-
late from the number of mouths he
feeds the quantity of corn he will need
to bay from the municipals, who dis
tribute it weekly. We, who are not
obliged to faire queue at the bakers
doors-thanks to my employ, I am ex-
empt from this, and bare sutiiciency
of bread is delivered, together with
meat and vegetables. at my lodging
daily-have very little conception of
the sufferings Of those who are. The
queues are somewhat differently reg
ulated in different sections, but my
hosts daughters, who take ii in turn
to go, are often waiting from 4 o'clock

PANHANDLE IS IN FIGHT
ROAD BROKE AGREEMENT
Along with the c., c. & L. 1t is Chars-
ed with Violating Some of the Rules
Of the Central Passenger Assoca-
ton.

Passenger traffic officials of the
great Pennsylvania system and Of the
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville rail
way are to be brought upon the car
pet at the next meeting Of the Central
Passenger Association and asked TO
explain their reason for breaking the
rules and agreements of the assOcia-
ton. An exchange says the Pennsyl-
vania is charged with breaking an
agreement entered into just after the
passage of the 2-cent fare law in Ohio,
which stipulated that the rate Of one
fare for the round trip on Sundays be
withdrawn. The officials of the
Pennsylvania were the foremost in
drawing up the agreement and it is
alleged were the first to break ii.
That system restored the rates with
out consulting other members OF the
association and did not even serve no
ticc to them as to their intentions.
The Erie and Big Four have decided
to avengc the wrong which they feel
they have suffered by the methods
which the Pennsylvania has employed
and one Of the most bitter rate wars
in the history Of the country is believ-
ed to be impending.
The Erie has cut the rate between
Dayton and Gallon and announces
that there will be Il slashing of fares
all over the system.

Water.

Water is n fluid simply because its
particles. which may be compared to

are kept separated by latent heat. Out
side heat applied to n vessel containing
water causes the latent and applied
heat both to act on the air contained in
the water. Under such conditions pure
water at sea level will boil at 4 fem
perature of PIP degrees F. if the
barometer pressure be thirty inches.
If, however, the vessel containing this
same water be carried to the top of a
high mountain or put under the ex-
hausted receiver Of AZ air pump it will
boil before it reaches the temperature
of 212, because the atmosphere has
been taken away so as to allow the air
contained in the water to escape be-
fore it becomes sufficiently heated to
impart that quality to the loose parti-
Giles of water surrounding it. At a
height of $4,000 feet on the sides of
the Himalaya mountains water boils
at temperature of $50 degrees and
under the exhausted receiver of the
air pump at only - degrees This
proves that boiling water is not always
equally hot. IT also tells us why it is
next to impossible to cook meat. vege-
tables, etc. in high attitudes by the
ooiling process.

to decorate. Big cash prizes have
been offered by the Festival Directors
for the best decorated buildings and
the entire city is undergoing a com

the coming of a half-million guests.
Flags, banners and pennants will be
flying, bands playing, and the entire
city will be in gala attire to greet the
first visitors at the Fair.
The War of the Balloons" will be
one of the most spectacular events Of
any arranged for the Festival. 1t takes
place on the opening day. As many
as 10000 fOurteen-fOOt balloons will
be distributed among the thirty coun-
cilmen of the city, they agreeing to
distribute these among the various
ward residents. About dusk Tues
day, August 2Sth, hugs dynamite
bombs from twenty different points
in the city, will be hurled high in the
air, making a noise loud enough to
be the signal for the release of the
flaming balloons. In five minutes
from the time of the explosion of the
bombs, the voyagers of the air will
be crashing into each other like
huge warriors battling for life. Some
will be destroyed, some will burn,
while others will drift for miles into
the country. To each balloon there
will be attached a ticket of admission
to the grounds of the Fall Festival
This feature, together with the mu-
steal spectacle, The Blue Moon and
the fire fighting demonstration, Flight

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For a Seat In Parliament
Is Expensive.

Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English cleo
tons, standing for n seat in parlia-
ment is by no means an inexpensive
waiter. Even small constituency
will cost not less than $4,000 and the
expenses run from that up to $4,000.
At one election n candidate paid out
on an average of $50 for each vote,
but this is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as 81
Il head.
The puchG sing Of vote disqualifies
the candidate. even though he may be
innocent OF any participation in the
bribery, and rs a result candidates
and their workers-"agents" they call
them In Enrland-are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus-
picion.
Dinners may be served constitu-
ency. but payment even to the women
OF family is regarded as bribery, and
the candidates are compelled to trust
TO speeches, house to house convasses
and literature, both for hand distribu-
ton and in the form of posters.
