Death from black damp and natu-
raj gas was the fate OF two workmen
who had been lowered so feet in
bucket to the bottom OF a caisson at
Chicago, where a large building is
under course of construction.
Charles K Hamilton, in an exhibit
ton flight with a Curtiss biplane. had
a narrow escape from falling into the
ocean with his machine. Although he
won in his race with the surf. he met
with an accident on land, striking a
barbed wire fence when making a
forced landing and damaging his ma
chine. The aviator was not hurt.
The largest cake of ice in captivity
is at Florida, a small village near
Middleton, n. Y. A new icehouse OF
large capacity was built early in tle
winter and the building was filled with
ice before the roof was put on. There
was a heavy rain followed by cold
snap, which caused the entire con-
tents of the icehouse TO freeze into
a solid mass of 800 tons.

more for beans this year In 1909 we
imported 100000 bushels from
Europe. This year there is a big

ENCOURAGING SIGNS OF LIFE
Liberal Contributions In United States
and Canada for Work Of the
Foreign Missions.

In spite of the financial depression
the offerings of the United States and
Canada for foreign missions increased
last year 100000. The increase OF in
come from the foreign field was even
more remarkable. being $1,36O,0OO.
The total gifts on the foreign field
was $4,S44,0 900, and this amount was
48 per cent. Of the total amount con-
tributed for foreign missions by the
Protestant churches of North America.
The increase of native converts last
year was 164.674, or over $50 day.
The cumulative effects of the foreign
mission enterprise is shown by the
fact that it took 100 years to gain the
first million converts. The second
million were secured in IL years, and
they are now being added at the rate
OF million in six years. The percent

SUPPLY SHORT.
Beef Cattle Are Worth More Money,
So No Financial Loss.


The report OF the crop reporting
board of the bureau OF statistics of
the United States department Of agri-
culture, showing the number and
value of farm animals on the farms
and ranges OF the country, Jan. J.,
1910. has just been made public. II
gives some interesting figures rela-
tive to the meat supply of the coun-
try and bears out the contention OF
the farmers and cattle men that there
is serious shortage In the supply of
beef cattle and hogs.
According to the report the supply
OF beef cattle in the country is 2,100,-
coo head below what 1t was on Jan. 1,
1909, the supply of hogs 6365.00
short. To offset this, sheep have in
creased 1,132,000 in number. leaving
the total shortage of meat animals
for the year 7,333,OOO head.
But the report goes on to show that
in spite of this falling off in the num-
bers of our meat animals, there has
been no loss of wealth to the coun-
try, because the increase In the value
OF those We have has far outrun the
loss occasioned by the decrease in
numbers. Our beef cattle are worth
$53 1893, 900 more today than they were
a year ago, our hogs are worth $751;
100000 more, and our sheep $47,032,'
900 more.

THE FLOOD HAS
BEGUN To LOWER
THE SEINE REcEDEs AND PARIS
EXPERIENCES A LITTLE
RELIEF.
CALAMITY DANGER OVER
The Situation Is Still Critical But
Hopeful-Chief Fear Is That An
Epidemic May Follow.

The swollen waters of the Seine are
receding slowly but enough to bring a
sense of relief to the distracted and
desolate city of Paris. The danger
OF some great calamity, such as
has been predicted now seems over,
although the situation continues to
be critical at many points within
the city, particularly in the neighbor-
the entire streets and solid blocks OF
buildings threaten to sink through the
crust into the waters beneath.
The effect of the removal of the
water pressure mas been to weaken
foundations generally, and this causes
the greatest anxiety. Besides there
will be thousands of acres to be clear
ed or repaired when the water has re-
coded, and there is also the POSSIBLE
ity of an epidemic breaking out.
Figures as to the number of per-
sons affected by the flood in the valley
OF the Seine are pure guess-work, but
certainly 10000 nave been driven from
their homes to the hospitals and other
buildings which have been placed at
the disposition of the refugees
The local government authorities are
displaying great devotion and zeal in
the work Of salvage and rescue. Never
tneless, the conditions, especially in
the country districts, are pitiful. The
houses Of farmers are submerged to
their roofs, and in many cases the in
habitants have lost everything, includ
ing their livestock.
Premier BRAND has arranged for the
flour mills and oil reservoirs in the
west and north to send -four and oil to
Paris by special trains, so that the
danger OF bread and oil famine is
now practically over
Learning that spectators were plan
ming to corner the potato market and

Has the problem of long-distance
aerial navigation been solved without

his feat was circling the Liberty sta

that monument. The trip was taken
in the night, according to the inven-
tor: hence the achievement escaped
public notice. The Worcester man now
announces that some night he will
take little flight down to Washing

he will give a daylight exhibition OF
the capacity of his machine. Mean

convinced that coffee caused his suffer

wick was cut about the eye, requiring
seven stitches, and others were less

near Muir, Friday evening.
In the accident were two parties,
each on separate hills which joined
at the foot of the incline. Unknown
to either party the sleighs were start

at the bottom, travelling at an estima-

outfit contained II persons and the
other six, all of whom were more or
less shaken up. The sleighs were

THE AMERICAN HOME.

We hear much of the passing OF the
American home, but as long as the In
dividual members of the family realize
the part they must play in its forma-
zion. and appreciate its manifold bless
ings, there is little chance Of such a
catastrophe. Not only every structure
OF wood or brick that shelters human
beings Is home; love and care and
dwelling place; but that family circle
that lives together in peace OF heart
and mind, be its habitation a cabin or
a mansion, has struck the keynote OF
the true harmonies of home. The de-
mands of modern times, however. have
sounded the death knell Of one of the
most attractive features OF home life
in the winter time-the open fire.
whose warmth and cheerful glow
forms a center of common interest
around which the members of family
are accustomed to gather. 1t is the
most natural thing in the world for
the fire to be the focus Of the room,
and in preparing for the winter
home life it should be so regarded If at
all possible, and whether furnace has
been installed or not, one room at least
should be arranged-the living room,
of course-where all may gather
around the real fire" and respond to
its comforting influence.
