 Police, soldiers, fremen and volun- teers are dynamiting buildings with the hop of staying the progress of the flames. However, they continue to spread and there is no water with which to combat them.
 The streets are filled with debris and locomotion Is difficult in the extreme. Communication with the outside world has been practically cut of, There has been only one wire working all the afternoon, and Idispa.ches must neces- sarliy be in the form of brief bulletins,
 The dead will reach fully 1000. Four hundred bodies are lying in the Mechanics pavilion, The city mOrgue was closed early in the afternoon. It is so full of the dead that DO more can be cared for there.
 The Call building, the Examiner building, the Palace and Grand hotels, the spreckles, Rialto, Phelan and a hundred other sky scrapers are nothing but charred skeletons, and the people are being held back in the streets to prevent further casualties from falling

THE AIR WE HAVE.

One hundred and thirty-one miles Is the
height OF the atmosphere as measured by
Professor T. ]. j. See. who determines
the thickness OF the air envelope by not
ing the difference between the time OF
sunset and the complete disappearance OF
blue from the sky. The moment at Which
the blue changes into black can be OBJ
served quite easily with approximate cer-
tainty by the naked eye when the air is
clear. and by trigonometry may be as
certained the distance below the horizon
OF the sun at the moment OF change. BY
this means may be calculated the height
Of the smallest Illuminated particles OF
oxygen and nitrogen which give to the
sky its blueness OF tint by the reflection
OF the smallest wave lengths of the sun 6
light. The instant OF change from blue Ia
black is possibly little difficult OF ex-
act observation, but the method Is not
more doubtful than that based on the
observation OF shooting stars. The shoot
ing star method gives a result not greatly
differing from the vanishing blue method
The former gives the height OF the at
mosphere at 100 miles.

You give a woman $40 and then bor-
row 72 cents from her and see what

ally inquire what has become OF the

$40. You waive the question whether
she ever had $40 and ask her IL she has
$40 now, and finally get a reluctant
admission that she is penniless. Then
you follow UP the inquiry and discover
that she has bought nothing. Then yoa
are ready with the final charge, What,
then. did you do with the SO" and

KAFFIR WOMAN'S NERVE.

One OF the first explorers OF the in
terior OF South Africa was william
Cotton Oswell. noted hunter and n
friend OF Livingstone, to whom he rem
dered important aid. In his biography
the following story is given from ore
OF his African letters: An incident
highly creditable TO Kaffir womanhood
occurred just as we reached Mabotse.
The women, as is their custom, were
working in the fields. for they hoe and
the men sew. A young man. standing
by the edge Of the bush was chatting
with them. A lioness sprang on him
and was carrying him Off. when one
OF the women ran after her. caught her
by the tail and was dragged for some
little distance. Hampered by the man
In her mouth and the woman behind
her. she slackened her pace. whereupon
her assailant straddled over her back
and hit her across the nose and head
with a heavy short handled hoe until
she dropped her prey and skunk to
cover,

A newspaper writer In Muskogee, l. T.,
has suggested that as a character name
the new state OF Oklahoma should be re-
ferred to as the Indian state" and gives
as his reasons that the state was once
owned entirely by the Indians and that
they own n large per cent OF Ii still and
will continue to for at least twenty-one
years, that 1t is the cemetery OF Indian
nationality and that the naming Of this
the Indian state" would be a gentle
