Days Are Longer.

"Since the 22nd of December,
when the sun stood over the Tropic
of Capricorn, the days have been
lengthening at the rate of about
one minute every twenty-four
hours.
In other words, the sun is now
shining one minute longer each day
than formerly. Dobtless it has
not been noticed by the average in
dlvidual, even those individuals to
whom minutes are precious, but it
is a fact just the same, and the in
terval between sunrise and sunset
is now about nine hours and thirty
minutes.
No Fastening of daylight comes
as yet to the early riser, however,
for the gain in the sunshine times
is in the afternoon. and this will
continue to be the situation until
January the 18th. The Truth is,
the afternoons have been length
ening at the expense of the morn
ings ever since December 14th.
1t is popular legend that as the
days begin to lengthen, cold begins
to strengthen. That, however,
depends upon the Medicine Hat and
the weather clerk, and neither is
inclined to say what kind of wealth
or January has in store for us.
AS a general proposition it is gen.
orally January's duty to furnish,
this latitude with just about all the
real winter weather that is coming
to it. There have been exception
ally >cold Februarys, notably the
one that killed the orange trees in
Florida and furnished ice skaters
with two days of enjoyment, but
that was ten years ago, and moth
ing approaching it has since put in
tits appearance. January is our
real Wintry month. Exchange.

ga Most Appalling Disaster, .
Says Ferrero, the Historian.

Says FerrerO, the Historian.
"In judging of the accuracy of
the reports that have already been
received one must not forget that
the people on whose authority the
reports are sent are mad-mad
with terror. Sicilians even in their
calmest moments are excitable and
inclined to exaggerate, and all who
have experienced it say that after
the third tremor the closest man
loses his head. Therefore these
reports are gathered from among
men who are in condition of utter
responsibility.
"HoWever, even suppoSing that
the loss of life shall prove to be on
iy half as great as is now reported,
this is the most appalling disaster
that region has suffered, at any
rate in our days.
MESSlNA A CITY OF STONE.
81 cannot believe that Messina
has been so nearly wiped out as
the cable dispatches say, for if it
had been the loss of life in that
city alone must have been far great
er than the reports indicate. Mes
sino, is big city, built solidly of
stone, and harboring a population
of more than hundred thousand.
A stone city, when shaken by an
earthquake, is far more fatal to its
inhabitants than one which is built
of wood, or than one which is like
the towns of northern Italy, made
up of scattered and detached houses.
"All the buildings of Messina,
Reggie, and the other southern
cities have heavy stone cutters
along their caves. These are ne
cessary to catch the rain and carry
it into tanks. An earthquake sends
these masses of stone crashing to
the streets and in all such disasters
the majority of the victims are kill
ed in the street, after running from
the houses, by the falling of these
cutters. In an earthquake in such
a city is far safer indoors thon out.
For though walls and roof beams
may fall, there is good chance
that one may be able to keep out of
the way; whereas in the street one
is almost certain to be killed
LOSS MAY BE GREATER THAN RE-
PORTED.
eff il should turn out to be true
that Messina, Riggio and other SOL
idly built cities have been shaken
down by these shocks, that is to
say, if the greater part of them has
fallen, the loss of life will prove
even greater than has yet been re-
ported.
Poor CalabFia! It's the poor
est part of Italy, and can least af-
ford TO suffer such an appalling dis
aster. Sicily also, though richer
than Calabria, is. when compared
with northern Italy. poor country
and i'll able TO stand this blow. 1t
is the poverty of these southern
provinces that is driving so many
Sicilians and CalabTians toemigrate.
You are getting many Of them here
in New York, but many others have
gone to Argentine, to Tripoli, Tunis
and other countries Of northern

have been chartered to load cotton
in the near future.
The whole state is familiar with
the fight we waged to get the same
rate on cotton to Gulfport that
prevailed to New orleans and Mo-
bile and that cotton is being hand
led with dispatch and satisfaction
to consignor and consignee.
We write you this letter because
we believe that the whole state of
Mississippi is proud of the fact that
within her own borders is a port
second to none, that challenges the
admiration of the world. The
state of Mississippi has heretofore
expended her money and re-
sources towards the building up of
great cities within other states, and
according to carefully computed
statistics this state has exported in
the last forty years something like
$500, 900, 600 Of home grown products
and we believe that all Mississip-
plans will rejoice with us now that
the dream of our fathers has come
true and that Mississippi has at last
come into her own.
With the opening of the Panama
Canal the worlds commerce will
find ingress through the state of
Mississippi.
Bishop Galloway said: 81 have
seen the great harbor of Naples,
land locked and peaceful; | have
anchored in the Bay of Rio de
.Janeiro dotted with islets and
beautiful, and into most of the
worlds great harbors has it been
my privilege to sail, but no where
have | seen one that for so little
cost could offer hospitality and Sc
curity to the commerce of the world
as at our Mississippi port at Gulf
port"
The constructio on of the Panama
Canal will change the industrial
and commercial map of the United
States and of the world. The
Mlngling of the Atlantic and Pa
cific ties in that artificial waterway
will be an extension of our coast
line now separated by 1900 miles
of stormy and dangerous seas, and
also this canal means that we will
get directly the trade of Asia and
the Orient. This will become a
port of entry for shippers trade
from Japan and China.
The post office receipts have in
creased in the last seven years
marvelovsly; also the salaries paid
for this office. In 1900 they were
$500 per annum; the salaries now
paid at this office per annum
amounts to s17,oOo, an increase of
$4,000 in eight years. The reason
of this increase is, that long and
various free delivery ,routes have
been established out of this place
and we also have free city delivery
and post boxes on all the street
corners.
Whenever you are in the city we
beg that you will make the Com
mercial Union your headquarters
and be their guests while here.
