Churns Butter with Auto.

1t has been discovered at Verona
that an automobile can be used as a
butter churn and that the butter can
be churned while the machine is
speeding along the road in the per-
Torrance of other duty. The discov-
erer is Warren Schelling, chauffeur
for Charles Spohr, a dairyman on the
Jacksonville turnpike. 1t is thought
that within six months every dairy
farm in this section of New Jersey
will be churning butter by the auto
process, and that Schelling will be
hailed throughout the countryside as
a great benefactor of womankind.
Like many other discoveries, this one
was made by accident.

Messina, Sicily. - Foreign officers
who have explored the ruins Of both
sides of the Strait give higher esti-
mates of the loss of life than italian
reports. They believe that 10000
persons have either been killed or
trapped in the ruins of Messina and
10000 at Reggie, whore the tidal
wave rose to double the height that
it did at Messina.
Two days spent amid the ruins of
Messina and Reggie bring convincing
evidence that the appalling horror Of
the situation in the Straits of Mes
sina has in no sense been exagger-
ated
Messina and Reggie have ceased
to exist. In the ruins of the former
city two-thirds of the inhabitants lie
buried, while at Reggie one-half of
the people lost their lives. Messina
counted 100000 and Reggie $4,000
souls. Both places are to-day vast
morgues of the dead, and one cannot
make his way, through the stricken
area without being overwhelmed by
the scenes of death, destruction and
desolation. Sickening stenches arise
from the countless decomposing bod
les, and the air for many miles out
to sea is polluted. Vutures are con-
gregating to prey upon the dead 1t

, A Day in Berkeley.
We spent day in Berkeley, across
the bay. at the University OF Califor-
mia, with Dudley Gates. a former
Richmond boy. Young Gates is stu
dent at the university and under his
guidance the beauties and wonderful
advantages of this seat of learning
we're revealed. The famous Greek
theater, William Randolph Hearst's
donation as large tablet sets forth.
Is here and provides a place without
parallel In America. for outdoor pre-
sentation of dramatic and other enter
tainments and exercises. Many new
buildings, fine ones, too. are being
erected on the university grounds.
The grounds themselves are very pic
turesQue and are more or less enclos-
ed by beautiful groves of Eucalyptus
and oaks, the latter estimated to be
several thousand years old. And all
nesting snugiy at the base of a fine
range of high hills on which are more
Eucalyptus groves.
The Eucalyptus Trees.
California, by the way, appears to
have gone daft on the subject of grow

an Australian native hardwood, thrive
In halmy California's climate and soil,
and In the short space of from seven
to ten years from time of planting,
tower ninety and q hundred feet high,
and have diameter of eleven and
twelve inches. An acre of ten year
old Eucalyptus yields about one hund-
red thousand feet of hardwood timber.
On my return from the Hawaiian
Islands shall visit one or two COM
