The newspapers give the following
account Of the conditions in a por-
ton of Europe:
Portugal, Spain and the south of
France are sufferers :. in common.
Over great stretches of country wa

the tops of their houses and commun-

rudely constructed boats. Commerce
is at a standstill, agriculture has been
abandoned, the people are idle, and
starvation will soon overtake them if
the waters do not recede. Hundreds
of persons have already fled the coun-

said that individuals, being immortal,

AN ATTRACTION FOR SUNDAY
SCHOOL PUPILS.

One of the most recent cases of
lynching, that of William Burns, &C.
cused OF the murder of a patrolman,
took place. in Cumberland, Md, and
was marked by some unusual fea-
lures. One was that it occurred in
the presence of the Judge of the iu-
diclal district. Others were these.
The real murderers took the suspect
ed murderer from the jail and hanged
him III the rear of the court house.
They tore the telephone from the
walls and cut the wires, in order that
the deputy sheriff might not summon
assistance. They broke the gas pipes
and nearly asphixiated 26 other pris-
oners. They wore no masks. By
order of court, the undertaken held
the body over, with the following re-
sults:a.

HEIGHT ar WAVES.
Ffsnchnan Says Observation from the
Decks Of Ships Creates Illusion.

FRIEDMAN Says Observation from the
Decks Of Ships Creates Illusion.
N Berth, a Frenchman, has been
making new observations OF the size
3 OF ocean pillows. He says they are
greatly overestimated when. the term
m me cunt U famous" is applied to them.
Inc longest waves he measured were
2,5OO feet from crest to crest, he says,
and their average duration was %

their span.
indeed, he is of the opinion that the
greatest height ever reached by waves
In open water is fifty feet, and he ac-
counts for higher estimates by saying
! that they have heretofore been OBJ
served for the most part from the
decks of ships, and the perspective
eject resulting from looking up along
the slopes has misled the eye and
judgment.
When waves become breakers, strik-
ing against some obstacle. there is no
doubt that great masses of water are
hurled to a height of 100 feet and vol.
umes OF spray are flung and blown
still higher.
Very few waves $500 feet long and
SO feet high are ever encountered. he
adds. In average bad weather the
waves run from 100 to 800 feet from
crest to crest, and their height seldom
exceeds 33 feet. Their duration is not
over 6 to 8 seconds

We Keep on Buying Gems.

Despite the fact that the importa-
ton of precious stones at the port of
New York in February year ago
exceeded all previous records by more
than 100000, the gem importations
for the month just passed beat Febrp-
airy, 1906, by about $1,2OO,OOO, the
amount being valued in all at $4,275,-
800, which is not only the largest
amount for any February, but one Of
the greatest amounts eyer brought in
in single month. Of this the cut
precious stones and pearls amounted
to $S,456,284, while the value of the
uncut stones, principally diamonds,
$S19,O16. January and February have
started off as record breaking months
in jewel importations.

Big Reward for a Coyote.

A big coyote that has been destroy.
ing many sheep on the Nelson, Coil
and other ranges was bagged on
Wednesday after a five-hour chase.
On Tuesday night the coyote killed
eleven sheep on the Nelson range and
six more on the same range the fol-
lowing night.
Previously it had been working de-
struction among the fiocks Of F. F.
Laugenour. The rewards offered by
the various sufferers and the bounty
offered by the county will aggregate
500. The dogs taken out could not
catch the coyote, but they chased it
in the range of Russ Strong's rifle
and he killed it

Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton re-
fuses to accept the aid of former Gov.
Jeff Davis in the prosecution of the
Legislative Doodle investigation that
has been in progress for two years.
Rhoton charges that at the begin
ming of the investigation Davis insist
ed that T. L. Cox and M. D. L..
Cook be promised immunity if they
furnished evidence to- indict one GER
tain man, and asked him to assure
them that if in giving such evidence
they SO far incriminated themselves
as to make their conviction impera-
tive he would pardon them before
they could be placed in the peniten-
tiary.
From all Of which, it is fair to CON
clude, that Jeffries will be a great
honor to the Senate.

At Little Rock, Federal Judge Trie-
Der Knocked out" the noted Wingo
Act, which imposes a burden of tax
alton upon foreign corporations op-
Grating in the state and denies them
the right to remove cause to fed
eral court. Judge Trieber held that
corporations who had for years been
operating in the state under former
laws did so not by mere license,
but by virtue of contract between
them and the state, the obligations
OF which could not be impaired. The
incident affords ground for hoping
that in course Of time, Southern leg
lslatures will not spend SO much of
their time in idiotic legislation.

right to destroy gas fixtures, tele-

stands in the way Of carrying out its
designs, is included in the greater

some few people may have doubts as

SOUTH AFRICAN TEMPLES.
Great Areas Enclosed by solidIy Built

Great Areas Enclosed by solidIy Built
Stone Walls.
The temple ruins at Rhodesia are
puzzlers. The erudite folks used to
say they were ancient; but DR.. Ran
dali Macivers their latest explorer,
says they we're built in the Middle
Ages. He says the great "elliptical
temple Wassthe fortified srgsidence Sof.

whose sway Extended over an enor-
nous area and an extensive popula-
ton.
To understand how architectural
feats like the finer Rhodesian build
ings can have been achieved by the
precursors Of the modern South Afri-
can natives it is necessary to assume
that IN those days there was organiza-
ton of a far higher character than
has obtained in recent years, organi-
zation under great chiefs whose pow
.er and intelligence were of a relative
" high order. From the Portuguese
and their records this would appear
to have been the case in the days of
the Monomortapan empire of the Mid
die Ages down to the close of the
sixteenth century .....zs
The organization of labor implied
by the elaborate and decorated stone
architecture is remarkable. Even
more remarkable than the fortified
castles are the terrace walls. These
stone built walls form irregular con-
centric rings around the hills upon
which the villages we're situated, and,
although structurally simple, cover an
enormous area, extending in close for
nation over space OF upward of fit
ty square miles.

Strange Story of Lost Child.

A mother living on homestead in
the bush near Louth, New. South
Wales, lost her little girl, then two
and a half years old, about four years
ago. The child had wandered in
search of flowers, and no trace could
be found of her.
News came lately that little white
child had been found in blacks
camp in Southwest Queensland. Pho
tographs Of the girl were forwarded,
which, in spite of the change that
time and nomadic life had made,
the mother recognized, and her child
has now been restored to her.

many admirers outside of the office

amending, he believed that without
doubt 1t was a direct success. He
touched upon the leading issues of the
day and set them plainly before his
listeners. In closing his speech he
heartily endorsed the candidacy of
Douglas and Jenckes and urged his
