A Monster God Houne.

In Mexico are found ruins of an.
cient Aztec teocallis, or "god houses" !"
some of which are thousands of years
old. One of these, near Cholula, is in
the form of a truncated pyramid.
Each side of the base of this pyramid
is 1923 feet, which Is twice the length
of the great pyramid of Egypt. The
height of this Mexican wonder is 1T
feet, and its base covers an area of
fOrty-four acres.

North OF Lake Superior.

TORONTO, Ont Nov. 3O.-Negotiations
which nave beer pending here for a week

which gives New York capita lists control
not only of important areas in the Cobalt
district but also of copper and iron de-
posits north of Lake Superior, OF silver
veins neal Port Arthur and OF gold mines
in the Rainy River country.
The man h put through the deal was

Government railway and several important
Ontario capitalists, is called the Nipigon
Mines Company, Ltd. IL il capitalized

Bailey mine, alongside the famous Univer-
sity and Foster mines in Cobalt. 1t also

the vicinity of Cobalt and II has secured as
it's neurological expert Prof. Potter Of
st. Louis, No.
People have been studying the Canadian
mining situation in this, the first big deal
OF the Cobalt Nipigon syndicate, a plan
by which all the vast mineral deposits
north of the Great Lakes will fall into
the hands Of United States capital lists.
II is Mr.. Campbellis intention that 81 per
cent of the stock OF the Nipigon Mines
Company shall become the property Of
the Cobalt-N ipigon syndicate and it Is

chases of Canadian mines by this United
States syndicate.

Some Recent Fiction.

A light and fantastic romance which
moves briskly and whirls finally to a top
heavy climax involving the peace of Europe.
has been written by Burton E. Stevenson
under the title Of Affairs Of State" Henry
Holt and Company. The rival claims
Of two cousins to the succession OF O toy
principality in Europe furnishes the theme
OF the little comedy in which two bright
American girls with an i~ndulgent father,
an English Lord, a German Prince and Mr..
S~tevensonIs usual detective take the princi-
pal roles. The father rents the little Dutch
hotel where the comedy is played out to
the successful pairing OF the two daughters
with the two noblemen.
II the memory fluid" Of which Sue Green
leaf writes in her fantastic tale Of Don
Miguel Lehumada" should be invented this
world would be a very unpleasant place
for a great many people. For a few drops
of this magic fluid compel a sinner to confess
his transgressions-even those committed
in a previous existence. The book is a
crazy tumble of reincarnation, liquid from
the suns rays, miraculous suspension OF
the law Of gravitation and feverish nonsense
which might furnish good material for a
Christmas pantomime in a lunatic asylum
but which no sane person will waste time
in reading. This Occult Romance OF Mex
leo and the United States Don Miguel
Lehumada"-is published by b. W. Dodge
Il Co.
st. John Lucas has a long suite Of un-
common characters who do and say enter
tanning and unusual things in his new book
with the cryptic title Quicksilver and
Flame" The story is rather loosely con
structed, with the scene shifting from Italy
to London md Paris, but the style is bright
and e~pigrammatic and the incidents are
novel, if sometimes incredible.
Basil Edyvene had been married tn rec
years before the story opens. The three
years had been three circles OF an inferno
which had no Dantesque dignity; a winding
descent of mutual misunderstanding, then
boredom, then icy indifference-this was
the divine comedy of the marriage of Lord
and Lady Basil E~dyvene." Having formally
separated from his wife. he goes on a visit to
his literary sitter, Gertrude, In Italy. Ger
trude spent all her time in writing books,
Basil in reading them, and they were re-
garded as generally eccentric and useless
by the rest of the ~family-the descendants
of famous soldiers and sailors under the
British flag. After this disastrous matri-
monial experience it would scarcely be ex-
pected that Basil would entangle his affec-
tons in another alliance, but even at the
gate of his sisters villa he meets the beauti-
full actress, Elena, and the romance begins.
The actress is devoted 10 her art and is,
withal, a moral lady. The wife must be dis
posed of decently and with reasonable de-
liberation. A great many things are re-
lated that one has read before, but the set
ting is picturesque. the treatment original
and interes ting, the characters we'll drawn
and strongly individualized and the charm
OF the tale is the trick OF telling-the in
PRODUCTION OF humorous and entertaining
details. The book is published by Long

EARTHQUAKE IN THE PACIFIC.
News or Disaster From New Gulnea and
Bismarck Archipelago.


VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. so.-Ths steamer
Miowera from the Antipodes brings first
advices Of ruinous earthquake disturbances,
followed by an almost equally disastrous
tidal wave, at German New Guinea, In
the Bismarck archipelago, the shock being
attended by heavy fatality rs well as NOR
nous property loss. Details were not yet
obtainable when the steamer passed out OF
southern seas.
According to the master and officers OF
the German steamer Star, which skirted
the coast Of the afflicted islands imme-
diately after their visitation, great gaping
assures were to be seen In the mountains
and along the highlands at several points
in the vicinity OF F~inchhaien.
The first Of the shocks was recorded about
the end of September and Capt. Prejawa
of the Siar states that they continued daily /;
with greater or less violence until the end
Of October. One OF the heaviest shocks
occurred while the Star was anchored of
Ffnchhafen, and caused considerable alarm
on board.
The sensation Ia described as being most
peculiar, the vessel rolling nd vibrating
considerably. For q time it was thought
that the anchor cable had carried away
and the vessel had been driven onto . reef,
but Investigations proved that matters
were not 30 serious and that the expert
ence was all due TO submarine disturbance.
, On the following day the appearance Of
the. coast line afforded evidence of the Sc
verify of the shock, huge rocks being dis
placed and gaping holes being visible in
the sides of the mountains. The disturb
ance was followed by a tidal wave which
swept over the low lying coast districts
and caused much destruction. Native
houses and boats were carried away, and
for a distance OF forty to fifty miles the
country was completely devastated.
Capt. Prejawa states that as far as he
could learn no loss of life occurred in this
locality. The natives took the warning
of the earthquake and sought shelter on
the highlands. A few, however, were
injured.
AT Chiassi Island, in the Dampier Straits,
the tidal wave wrought great havoc, hardly
a native hut being left standing. The ma
tives of this island made for the highest
point, and there remained until the wave
subsidized. Steaming along the New Gui-
nea coast the assures in the mountain
side were clearly visible from the deck OF
the Star and Capt. Prejawa estimates that
some of them were fully 200 feet long and
100 feet deep.

"TANNHAEUSER" AT THE OPERA.
Two More New SINCE RS OF Mr. COnrIed's
Company Heard Last Night.

The third night of the season at the Metro
poltan Opera House was devoted to a per-
Torrance Of Wagner's "Tannhauser." Tho
opera served to introduce to this public
Katharine Fleischer-Edel, soprano, who
was the Elizabeth, and Carl Burrian tenor,
who was naturally the TdHnhduser. Old
friends OF the German contingent OF the
company, who made their reentries last
evening, we're Anton van Rooy as Wolfram,
Robert Blass as Hermann the Landgrave,
and Albert Reiss as WdLher ron der Wogel-
lpcide. Mr.. Hertz conducted the perform
ance, but he had already made his bow
at the Thanksgiving matinee of "Eansel
und Gretel."
Again there were evidences OF an earnest
desire on the part OF the director to inn
prove the scenic presentation Of the drama.
OF course, as long as ballet masters with
Italian training arrange the -~choreographio
display" OF the first act it will never APP
proaoh Wagnere ideal, but it is better at
the Metropolitan than it used to be. The
conclusion Of the first act last night took
on a new air OF artistic verisimilitude, and
there were other improvements Of which
more extended account may be given later.
MIR. Burrian made a distinctly favorable
impression in the title role. His chief
attractions ara a fresh, vigorous and agree
able voice and a strong dramatic tempera-
ment. Next to these comes an enunciation
so clear and beautiful that it makes every
~ord-oe- the.textulRkS.klgible. He sanG-hIs
music in tune and with abundant fervor.
Those who are well acquaintedlwith the
demands of the Wagnerian music drama
will understand from this record that Mr..
Burrian il likely to prove a welcome addi-
ton to our list OF Teutonic singers. IL
would be futile to credit him with any
skill in the finer graces Of the vocal art.
These are seldom found among the singers
of his school. Wa2nerian music il con-
vincing, ever when it is given in the ira
ditionaI German style, and we must be
grateful for a manly actor and singer who
is apparently a good musician, II not a
master vocalist.
Nine. Fleischer- Edel belongs to a class
Of lyric performers quite plentiful in Ger
many. She has a beautiful natural voice.
Of large power and sufficient range. Her
delivery is by no means faultless. Her
attack is bad. and she falls often into the
white voice" which has its uses and moro
frequently its abuses. Her singing last
night was without breadth or dignity. and
her method of tone production often OBJ
scured the real beauty OF her voice. She
NAV perhaps be heard TO better advantage
in other roles.

Fremstad and the digniaed woIfram Of Mr..
Van Rooy. Mr.. Hertz conducted with his
customary heat. In the baochanale he
became so enthusiastic that the garish
colors OF the riot and rout broke into de-
vourIng flames. But with this exception
his treatment OF the score was generally
discreet. The orchestra played admirably
but with some occasional cruditiee Of tone
The chorus sang badly nearly all the time.
