QUAKE KILLS SCORES IN ITALY
SOUTHERN PART OF COUNTRY
is AGAIN SEVERELY SHAKEN.
Thousands Flee in Panic as Towns
Are Ruined-Old Men Die
of Fright.

Avellino. Italy.-The brunt Of a Sc
we're earthquake that rocked the south
ern portion of Italy Tuesday was
borne by the province of Avellino.
At Avellino, King Victor Emman-
uel and Queen Helena appeared be-
fore the people in an effort to check
their fright. Not even they, however,
could reassure the terrified.
The latest advices show the number
of known dead as follows:
Avellino, %; Valetta. 1; San Fele di
Potenza, 6; Castel, Basonia, 1;
Clanchi, 1; San Sossio, 10; Calitri, so.
1t is believed when the full list is
secured, and the fatalities in the out
lying district have been learned, the
death roll will run far higher. Gov
eminent officials stated the first esti-
mate of 800 will not be too high.
Distressing scenes were witnessed
as thousands fed in terror from their
novels, some dying of fright
Much damage was done to property,
but it is impossible to determine the
extent of the devastation.
In this city little harm was done,
and the only death reported was that
of an old man who died of fright. The
population. however. was terror
stricken.
At Calitri, where 20 people are re-
ported killed, the situation is distress
ing. Ten persons are said to have
met death at San Sossio, where the
sulphur waters with which the dis
trict is rich, were released from
bounds by the disturbance and flood
ed the vicinity. From the food
noxious gases arose.
At Chianche house fell burying
and killing an aged man.
One person was killed and several
were injured at Castelbaronia.
Half-naked men, women and chill
dren fed from their homes screaming
with terror. They had in their minds
visions of Messina and the horror OF
Reggie.
After several hours of frantic en-
treaty the authorities succeeded in re
establishing a semblance of calm and
relief squads were organized.

OF nasturtiums there are dwarf and
climbing varieties, to suit all situa-
tons, with flowers practically alike.
Any ordinary well-drained soil will
support them perfectly, even though
1t is decidedly thin. In fact, they
blossom better in such earth than in
very rich, for in the latter they run
to leaf and are apt to rot off in wet
weather, in their own dense shade,
especially If at all crowded.
Sow as early as the ground is
ready. The dwarf or Tom Thumb d.

months, insects will leave them alone

Children.

Listen to this opinion from David

There is nothing in all the world
so important as children, nothing so
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, if you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, do something for children. II
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always a chance
that we can save a child. If the great

When Solid Iron Floats.

Experiments have shown that If a
ball Of solid iron be lowered into a
mass of liquid iron by means of a
metal fork, the ball at first sinks to
the bottom with the fork, but that in
a few seconds it will leave the prongs
and rise to the surface, where 1t con-
tinues to float until 1t melts. The RI
sing is explained by the expansion Of
the ball, due to heating, whereby 1t
becomes, bulk for bulk, less dense
than the molten metal.-The Sunday

Unearthlne Ancient Harbor of Rome.

Unearthng Ancient Harbor of Rome.
For the last year systematic exca-
vations have been made at Ostia, the
ancient harbor of Rome at the mouth
of the Tiber. The ruins of large
city, built probably by Hadrian over
the old republican town. have been
uncovered. Archeologists consider
the discoveries as important as those
of Pompeii Heretofore it has been
believed that Ostia was founded by
ANGUS Martius, the fourth king of
Rome, that it was destroyed by
Marius during the civil wars, rebuilt
during the republic, sank into insig-
nif1cance. and was buried in the sand
and deposited in the Tiber when Ira
ian built the new port and city of
Portus. Instead of this 1t is now GER
tain that Ostia not only continued to
flourish under Hadrian, but that the
old level was raised six feet and that
the republican town served as the
foundation for model city with rec
tangular wide streets. temples, fora
and squares.

Farm Work Horses.

If those who have horses in their
charge on the farm would inaugurate
a more systematic course of feeding,
utilizing the cheaper forms of feed.
much expense of winter feeding could
be saved, and better and healthier
horses would be the result. Adopt, for
instance, the plan of feeding the
horses in the morning only a stomach
full of the feed, a stomachful at noon,
and only a stomachful at night. Such
course would give the horses stom-
ach chance to digest the feed.
If variety of feed is at hand, then
feed one kind in the morning, an
other at noon and another at night
Regularity in feeding is important. If
horses are watered frequently enough
they will not drink too much at a
time. Regular exercise in the open
air is absolutely necessary to maintain
healthy condition. Spasmodic exar.
Cising alternating with periods Of IN.
activity Is dangerous and Improbable
The proper use of the means at com,
mand on the farm will insure a good
condition of the horses that will look
well, be well and give excellent serv-
ice.-N. A. Clapg.
