Rock wreoka a Home.

The residence of w. T. Booth. which
was situated on the side of a high
mountain in Mercer county. W. Va.
was wrecked recently, and several
members of the family were badly
bruised. says a Roanoke (Va.) dis
patch to the Baltimore American.
That they all were not killed is almost
a miracle. An immense rock near the
summit of the mountain, several hun
dred feet above the house, broke
loose from its foundation and rolled
down the mountain side at terrific
speed. carrying other rocks and trees
with it, against Booths house. The
inmates of the house awoke to find
themselves being hurled from their
beds with great force. The house was
carried to the valley below, and the
building and furniture was reduced to
|kindling wood.

CREMATION OF THE DEAD.
New York Newspaper Gives Reason

Cremation merely reaches In a
shorter period the same fnal result as

parts of the corpse decompose in the
earth in five or ten years; during the
whole period of decomposition they
constitute nothing but a putrid mass
of carrion. Bones which take CEN
turtles to crumble are unceremoniously
carted from one cemetery TO another

they have ceased to be identified and
claimed. II they are converted, with
the flesh, into ashes in one hour they

If ashes were placed in the grave of
an urn cemetery, as occasionally is
done. the dead would leave more room
for the living than their intact bodies

now required to bury in the old fash

sons that annually die in Greater New
York. We probably could save more

in severe tremors a few minutes after

The cattle drank the water and died.
Some years later a playmate was

oleander bower and the blossoms were
her favorite decoration. She some
times bit the stems OFF If they were

young woman who was extreme

large tree in her room. One day in
midwinter she dug out a portion OF
the earth and filled in the space with
fresh soil from the florists in order
that her favorite might throw out a
new crop of blossoms. That night she
complained of curious irritation in

Climatic Conditions Have the Same
Effect Under Water as on Land.
"The theory that climatic conditions
are largely responsible for the enter
prise and activity OF the American
people finds contemporary demonstra-
tion in the lower orders of animals
and particularly among the fish," said
a scientist who has made close study
Of tho collection in the New York
aquarium.
"Au of the game fish" he said. the
nghters. the high-strung, nervous fel
lows like the brook trout, the black
oass and their only slightly less siren
uous brother, the pike, are northern
nsh. In only rare instances do tn sse
fish become tame or remain restful in
captivity. They have the keen spirit
of American enterprise in them.
"On the other hand. the quiet. easy
going fish are nearly all from tropi-
cal waters. OF course. there are ex-
ceptions from muddy habitats, but all
of the brilliant hued, gaudy fish are
from the tropics. They are calm and
quiet, and after a short time in cap
tivity become so tame as to eat food
fearlessly from the hands of the keep
ers.
