About Picture Postcards.

Within about eight years the fan
cy for the picture postcard has grown
from almost nothing 10 amazing pro-
portions. Once the traveller wrote
letters now he sends a postcard with
a few words that tell the story. The
manufacture of the cards has be-
come a giant industry, largely OF
German development. 1t has given
the postal services of the world a
new problem. Our officials say they
are almost staggered by the increase
it has made in the volume OF the
mats. One day last month the ocean
steamship Adriatic arrived with 65,-
600 cards in her mail bags.
Our government is encouraging
the use of the cards although they
are ,sushing the old-fashioned ones
10 the wall, for the reason that Un-
Gle Sam gets the same revenue from
the stamp and saves the cost OF the
card and the printing.

SPRINGS IN THE SEA BED.
How the Hottest Place on Earth Gets
Fresh Water.

Bahrein Island in the Persian Gulf,
is said to be the hottest place on
earth. 1t is usual there to find the
thermometer at 140 degrees Fan
renheit. On the coast Of this Is
land, where practically all OF the peo-
pie live, there is no fresh water
which is needed above all things in
SO seething a temperature.
And it is to be had from the bot
tom of the sea. Here md there
scattered over the floor of the har-
Dor of BahTein are springs OF pure
fresh water. These waters well up
through the sand to mingle with the
salt waters of the sea. 1t would
seem a difficult task to find these
threads OF fresh water amid the
oceans volume, but the thirsty IS
Ianders are thought TO have found
Nthem ages ago and to have passed
on their location rom generation to
generation.
A diver equips himself with a
water bag made of skins, the mouth
of whicn is closed, and descends to
the bottom OF the haTbor at a point
where one of the springs issues. The
bag is carefully inverted over the
current OF fresh water as 1t flows
up from the sand, the mouth is
opened, the skin is filled, then the
mouth is shut fast and the diver re-
: turns to the boat awaiting him on
/ the surface.
One scientist gives it as his be-
lief that at some period in the shad-
oWy past that which is now the har-
bors bottom was not touched by the
sea. The springs were then on the
shore and ready for the islanders
needs. Little by little the sea en-
croached on the land, but the loca
ton of the wonderful springs was
not forgotten.

Cleveland, O.-Penned in narrow

that opened only inward, 10 chill
dren in the suburb of North Collin
wood, were killed by fire, by smoke
and beneath the grinding heels OF
their panic stricken playmates.
The awful tragedy occurred We'd
nesday morning in the public school
Of North Collinwood, ten miles east
of this city. At 10 o'clock Wednes-
day night 165 corpses were in the
morgue at Collinwood, six children
were still unaccounted for, and all
the hospitals and houses for two
miles around contained numbers OF
children, some fatally and many less
seriously injured.
All of the victims were between the
ages of 6 and Is years. The school
contained between 80 and 1926 pu-
pills and of this entire number only
about eighty are known to have left
the building unhurt. 1t will be sew
eral days before the exact number of
killed is known, as the ruins may
still contain other bodies and the list
Of fatalities may be increased by a
number of deaths among the children
who are now lying in the hospitals
lowering between life and death.
The school house was of brick, two
stories and an attic in height. The
number of pupils was more than nor
mally large, and the smaller children
had been placed in an attic of the
building. There was but one fire es-
cape, and that was in the rear of the
building. There were two stairways,
one leading to a door in front and the
other to door in the rear. Both OF
these doors opened inward, and II is
claimed the rear door was locked, as
well.
An attempt was made to have the
children march out, but panic en-
sued.
Miss Catherine Weller, one of the
nine teachers in the school, lost her
life in a vain effort to marshal the
pupils of her class and lead them to
safety. She died in the crush at the
rear door. Her room was on the
second floor, and when the fire alarm
sounded she marched her pupils out
into he hall, thinking 1t was only a
fire drill. There the truth dawned
upon both teacher and pupils and con-
troll was lost. The children in their
frenzy plunged into the struggling
mass ahead of them. Miss Weller at.
