Detroit. Mich, jan s-The dismem-
bered body OF Rev. John II. Carrpi-
chael. a Methodist minister. was found
to-day partially consumed by fro In
the two heating stoves Of one OF his
three churches near Columbus, In the
Southwestern part Of St Clair county.
Cles of tho murderer and his mo-
tive were difficult to obtain. There is
a rumor that strange man left IL
train at Hickey late yesterday and
was directed to the COLUMBUS church
and there are other rumors indicating
that two men were implicated in tho
crime. The fact that several coins
were found In the clothing OF the dead
man and in the ashes in tho stoves
precluded the theory OF robbery.
Leaving home yesterday morning he
told Mrs. Carmichael that he was GO
ing to Columbus to arrange for a series
OF revival meetings there. He waved his
hand 70 a group OF children as he drove
out OF the village OF Adair and from
that moment all trace of him 4. lost

OF the tragedy. was the frst 10 discover
the crime to-day. while waiting at the
cross roads to keep an appointment the
cold wind drove him to seek shelter in
the church. He was surprised to And tho
church doors unlocked and was terrified
to see the church floor, the pews and
even the communion table daubed with
blood and fragments OF bloody clothing
scattered all around. Evidently the
| clergyman. who was SC years old and Of
athletic build, had made terrific strug-
gle for his NE.
The authorities on their arrival az the

RAIN HAS STOPPED.
Clear Weather Revealed the DesOla-

LeveIlcd.

Messinn. Jan. 5.--The rain has at
last ceased: tho sky has cleared and
the full moon. shining with its silver
rays. seems to render the desolation
more complete. The once pictures
que hills, smiling with olive groves,
are now wrecked and gloomy.
In her fury. nature appears TO have
wished even to cancel history. The
visitor cannot refrain from cry OF
desperation when he realizes that the
cathedral. the glory Of Mess!na. has
been RACED to the ground The CEN
turtles had respected 1t from the time
Of the Normans until few days ago.
Defylng former earthquakes and
cataclysms which had afflicted Mes
aina, its great columns of Egyptian
granite, heavier and stronger than
bronze. were at last thrown down and
crumbled as II of chalk. The mag
nifcent Norman, Angevin and Aran-
gonese tombs OF the Kings Of Sicily
have been reduced to ruins.

men and women who have lost their rea-

upon the remains IL what was once the
city hall. They found an old man stand

in his hand but did not think to put II

WHERE WAS GARDEN OF EDEN7
Learned Men Differ Widely In tho
Location Of tho First Dwelling
place on Record.

Students OF Biblical lore and geog.
Taphers have located the Garden Of
Eden in many places on the earth in
the last few hundred years. SO ex.
cellent an authority on oriental his
tory as Prof. Robert w Rogers Of the
Drew Theological seminary has def.
nitely placed 1t in the circumscribed
region lying between the Tigris and
Euphrates. He says he does so with
the full authority of tho Bible.
In the course of his oriental re-
search Prof. Rogers found that the
Biblical references to the Garden Of
Eden seemed to indicate that 1t must
have been in the region between the
two rivers mentioned. He points to
the fact that In the Biblical story Of
Eden appears the statement that a
river watering the garden was divided
and became four heads, the last of the
four being Euphrates. The Euphrates
rises in the Armenian mountains. and.
uniting with the Tigris. flows into the
Persian gulf.
Christopher Columbus thought that
Eden was In Venezuela, and so in.
formed the Spaniards. One or two
other explorers of years gone by con-
tended that the garden was on the
island Of Ceylon, the reason being
simply that they found there a noun.
tain called Adams Peak.

krakatoa.


Perhaps the most remarkable vol.
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August, 1883, at the Is.
land Of Krakatoa, in the Straits of
Sunda. Streams Of volcanic dust were
thrown II miles high, and more than
a cubic mile of material was expelled
from the volcanic crater. The air
waves started by the eruption trav.
eled around the earth seven times.
The noise was heard at Mascasa, $50
miles away: at Borneo. 1.116 miles dis.
tant; in West Australia, LOO miles
away. and even at Rodaguez, distant
more than 1900 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out of the
crater made the entire circuit OF the
earth before settling down. and was
the cause Of the strange sunsets that
we're observed for many months.
