carry their nets into the sea and scoop

running backward and forward, to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless Interrupt

This was exactly what the boy want

So he continued his irritating behav-

administered a sound thrashing.

picture the expression which he had

When his mother returned from

astonished and delighted with 1t, she
thought 1t her duty to scold her son

His father, coming into the room at

OF himself. was so surprised and
pleased at 1t that he told the mother
not TO scold the boy any more.

they are but repctitions OF individual
chiefly concerns the government and
tie people Is the progress that is be-
ing made toward the relief of those
who have suffered Gy the dreadful
visitation. Considerable advance In
this respect has been made at Mes
sina, where, according to official re-
ports received here. tho supply SER
vice is beginning to work satisfactor-
ily The different regions of the coast
have been allotted to various war
ships and other ships as centers from
which torpedo boats and launches
may distribute rations and water to
the different villages.
The minister OF justice has tele-
grnphed from Messina to Premier Gil
nlitti that large bodies OF troops have
nrrIved and are now occupying all
parts OF the town. The appalling ex-
tent of the disaster renders anything
like a systematic search OF the ruins
impossible. hut persons are being
dragged out continually and are being
transported TO the relief ships as soon
az their wounds arc attended to.
Slight shocks were felt in the earth
oueke zone today. completing the
ruins OF the crumbling buildings.
These shocks keep up the alarm
among the population, One quite Sc
we're shock was felt at 3 o'clock in
the morning, and another at o'clock.
Tires are still burning, although much
rain has fallen. The latest inyesti-
cation on both sides OF the strait
make 1t certain that many more than
half the population Of the coast towns

Mount Aetna, estimates that the vic

Hundreds of dangerous criminals
have been arrested by the troops and
are under close guard,
Great relief was felt here when the
announcement was made that the LII
pari islands, which were reported to
have disappeared with their popula-
ton of $4,000. suffered little CT no
damage from the earthquake. Public
opinion Is greatly concerned with re-
gard to the safety of the king and
queen. and the possible danger from
totiering walls. The king frequently
hes tried to persuade the queen to
rest, or to return to Rome. but she
kas always refused, declaring that 1t
would break her heart to abandon her
husband.
New Years day In Italy is usually
a day Of rejoicing as widespread as
on Christmas. Imposing ceremonies
are celebrated In the churches. But
these ceremonies and the festal spirit
are wanting today, Instead, there
were lamentations The flags wave at
half mast and the bells of a thousand
churches ring. not for the te deum,
but to toll sad knells for requiem
masses.
King Emmanuel has been indefat-
igable. He has shown wonderful ac-
tiyity and endurance. leaving no
point in Messina unvisited. He has
supervised the entire work in tho
fallen city, and his presence has in
fused new courage and energy into
the rescuers. Often he is surrounded
by crowd Of victims who enthusi-
astically shout, I'VE have king, we
have a protector a touching fea-

Norwich bulletin., 1909-09-28

The scientific phase of the alcohol question, or science vs the saloon, was treated in comprehensive way Monday night at Y. M c. A hal by pr. E. O. Taylor of Boston university, speaking under the auspices of the had a pronounced effect upon the att tendance as there were not more than 25 men in the hall, but pr. Taylor spoke just as earnestly and enthusi- astically as If before an audience of hundreds. He was introduced by Rev. F. c. Wright of the no-license com mittee, who mentioned that Dr. Tay- Tor had recently attended in London the world congress on alcohol.
 For lack of a knowledge of the na- ture of alcohol, said Dr. Taylor, there were 1s0.000 of our citizens destroyed each year. It Is alcohol which is the one and only thing in the intoxicat- ing beverages which makes them what they are and for which men drink them. It is the alcohol which touches the spot" This is not question of beer against whiskey. nor a question of the abuse, nor of adulteration, for the pure stuff in it's nature is devil ish. This is purely an alcohol ques- ton, What is temperance or intemper- ance in the light of modern science? This is the only way in which it can be settled right. When science all over the world declares against alc0- hol. we have got to regard it's voice whether we like it or not.
 Dr. Taylor then proceeded to show what alcohol comes from, mention ing different kinds of alcohol, such as wood alcohol, fusil oil, and the alcohol found in rancid butter and old cheese, all deadly poisons, but not used for beverages Lastly there Is the com mereial or ethyl alcohol, which is used for beverages. This comes from sugar, and If all the sugar were re- moved from the world there could be no more alcohol. but there is not a molecule of alcohol in all the sugar God ever created, and no one should expose his ignorance, as the Little Rock bishop did, by arguing that be- cause sugar Is good to eat and alco- hol comes from sugar. that there fore alcohol must be good to drink. It is produced from sugar by yeast germs, which draw out the oxygen of the sugar in barley, throwing off car- bonic acid gas and alcohol, which Is really kind of bug-juice.
 We are 8 long way past calling alco- hoi a food. The food value of alcohol was an exploded theory years ago. Professor Atwood worried himself in- to his grave trying to prove it's food value, but all the scientists of the world were on the other side, and at the alcoholic congress in London there was not a word said in any of the papers indicating that alcohol had any
