DISASTROUS STORM
Sweeps Over Cuba and East
Coast of Florida.
WIDE AREA is ISOLATED
Wires Down in All Directions and
Dearth of Details as to Extent OF
Damage Causes Great
Suspense.

Frequent messages were received at
the wireless telegraph station in ST..
Augustine, Fla, Thursday, giving the
progress OF a severe hurricane which
swept from Cuba to the lower cast
coast of Florida. Early Thursday
morning the storm was reported in
the vicinity of Havana, doing, great
damage there, but details were lAck'
ing. Later the storm reached Key
West, blowing down small houses and
trees, being particularly severe along
the water front. AS the day wore on
the storm reached Jupiter, where it is
stated the wind blew seventy miles an
hour.
At Miami fully one hundred houses
were blown down, and there is a de-
m<:ralized condition generally. The
handsome Episcopal and Methodist
churches were both blown down. The
concrete Jail was leaning with dan.
ger of turning over and the prisoners
had to be removed. The car sheds are
down and the top was blown off the
Peninsular and Occidental steamer
sheds. A two-story brick building, oc-
cupied as a saloon, completely COL
lapsed.
The storm was general on the east
coast of Florida, but the wires went
down early In the day.
Official reports received in Jackson
vile give the maximum wind velocity
at Sand Key, south of Key West, as
u miles an hour. Key West reported
that the wind reached fifty miles an
hour before the wires went down,
and this same velocity was maintain
ed along the coast Of Dade and Bre.
ward counties.
Efforts made at New Orleans Thurs
day night to reach Key West by wire
less brought no response whatever.
A New York dispatch is as follows:
At 2 o'clock Friday morning cable
communication with Havana had not
been restored, and the Western Union
Cable company was unable to get into
communication with Miami, Fla, OF
Key West, the land lines Throughout,
southern Florida having been prostrat
ed by the storm that prevailed in that
territory during the early hours Of
Thursday. It is impossible to get in
formation that would give any basis
for an estimate Of the damage to Ha
vaua.

thermore, the American wife is quite
as fastidious about her food as Is her

result being that while she may not
actually prepare it, she can at least
direct her servants in the prepara-

Breath Drawings.

Some curious experiments may be
made with the breath. On pane
of glass, or a mirror that has not
been polished just beforehand, trace
a figure, or letter, or name, with
your finger; nothing will be visible.
But breathe on the glass, and the
tracing will at once appear.
Now, on a freshly polished plate
of metal or glass, place coin. After
a few moments remove the coin, and
nothing will be seen on the surface,
but breathe on it where the coin was
lying, and an image of it will appear.
If you polish the coin instead of the
metal or glass, the same effect will be
produced when you breathe on the
surface.

Another "Devil" Legend.

Why is the printers errand boy
called the printers devil" A
writer at the end of the seventeenth
century explained it thus: "These
boys in a printing house commonly
black and dawb themselves; whence
the workmen do jocosely call them
devils; and sometimes spirits, and
sometimes flies" 1t is related, how
ever, that Aldo Manuzio, the great
Venetian printer of the fifteenth CEN
tury, had a black slave boy, who was
popularly supposed to have come
from below. Accordingly he pub
lished a notice: 81, Aldo ManuZio,
printer to the Doge, have this day
made public exposure of the printers
devil. All who think he is not flesh
and blood may come and pinch him. -

If you have a plate OF glass that

has been against an engraving for
several years, breathe on that side
of it, and the lines of the engraving
will become visible. This may fail
sometimes, but rarely.
Does all this sound like magic?
The explanation is natural one. On
the surface of all solids a layer OF
gas, vapor and fine dust gathers.
When you polish the object, the layer
is removed, OF it is altered by the
contact of other solids. If the OBJ
ject is breathed upon, the breath
condenses more easily on some parts
than it does on others, according to
the condition or state of this layer,
and therefore any marks made on IT
will become visible.-New York Mail.

holding out his hands.

haven't forgotten me-"
And then, somehow or another, she
found herself in his arms-sobbing
and laughing in one breath out OF
sheer Joy and relief.

devil of somebody"
Monica looked half fearfully across

the man whom she had mistaken for
| Jim, standing surrounded by porters,
and a small crowd of gapers-a foot
man was urging, imploring. BY his
side, bravely facing them all, stood
some one whom she recollected as in
a dream.
"Afterward, one gets accustomed

painting engine throbbed to the same
refrain.
All! she remembered. It was her
friend of that black day three years
ago, whom she had not seen since.
What chance-what irony of fate
had brought them together again.
"Jim," she said, suddenly. "That
man over there-he won't move
they can't do anything with him.
i Can't you, won't you, go over and see
if you can get him away from those
gaping crowds? That's his wife
she was kind to me-the day you
left. All! Jim, if it had been you!"
Jim Ward needed no second bid
ding. With few steady strides he
reached the little group. The lady
in furs was pleading, scolding, threat
ening, but all to no purpose.

thoritative manner did. In a few
minutes he had escorted the traveller

there.

voice. I'm so glad-and yet-that

They were in the cab, and he took
her in his arms and kissed her.
"But' you don't, now?" he asked
passionately.

in tones of deep content; II almost

FATHER VAUGHAN WILL
= GIVE RETURN LECTURE
Great Dramatic Orator Will Give An
i alysis Of "The Merchant Of Venice
in Teachers Club Course. -

A return visit from Father Vaughan,
sthe dramatic orator, who splendidly
demonstrated when he opened the
gTeachers club course on the evening of
NOV. 2, that he is one Of the few great
SShaksperean interpreters of the day, is
Sannounced by the club for Monday
sevening, Nov. 10, at the First Baptist
schurch. - ~ +.
{ Because Of the general interest among
sstudents and people Of discriminating
literary tastes in Shakspere plays,
land also because OF the years of dra-
smatic training which have made Father
vaughan particularly entertaining in
sShaksperean roles, the club selected
Father Vaughan s lecture on s'The
Merchant Of Venice' for the second
fevent of the course.
s The Teachers club has been gener-
ally congratulated upon, securing Fa-
Their Vaughan for the first two lectures
of the season. The first lecture was en-
joyed by more than 1000 people, and
the impersonations Of great Shaks-
tperian characters were considered the
finest feature Of it. His second lecture
sis even more attractive and promises to
deepen the favorable impression which
the great orator made on his first ap-
pearance in the city.
Father Vaughan looks upon "The
Merchant of Venice' as a satire on
Christianity, and from this original
point of view, the play is considered
turnout. "
