.TYPHOON CAUSES
 FRIGHTFUL LOSS
Number of Deaths Now Said to be Nearer 75, ,OO0 Than 4O,-
 GOO as First Reported

Shanghai, Sept. 10-That the number of deaths in the typhoon which swept Chekiang province August 29, was nearer 75.Oo0 than 10000, as at first reported, was indicated by messages received, today, from Hang Chow, the provincial capital.
 The number of homeless and desti- tute, it is stated, runs into the mil lions. Unless aid is immediately forthcoming, hundreds, of thousands are doing their best to relieve the sit uation but the magnitude of the dis aster has sEanped them The gov ernment lacks funds.
 Several of the foreign missionaries are reported to have been drowned.
 The catastrophe's suddenness was early morning and during the. fore noon the wind attained hurricane vfo- lence. About the time for high tide there came a sudden torrential down pour of rain which overf1owed the numerous streams emptying into the Yellow Sea along the Chekiang coast banks the incoming tide swept the waters of the estuaries to an unpre- cedented height. The water. rose fas- ter than a man could run and almost in an instant all the coast towns were inundated. Then it -receded with a rush, carrying several towns with all their inhabitants to sea with it, leav- ing scarcely trace of them behind. When Chow, with a population of 80,- 0oO was among the cities practically oblfterated. Of Chow Chow and Tein- tfen also, little renfairs and of koneo nothing is left whatever.
 Chekiang is the smallest but one of the most thickly populated provinces in China. It has nearly 12,oOO, 600 in ha abftants. Along the coast it is very low and flat and gridironed by an inn. mense number of canals and small rivers The most extensive culture of the farms goes to support the peo- pie and the destruction of the crops inevi: ply means starvation.

BREWERS TO MEET
Annual Convention - Elaborate Exhibits, Including Brew
 ing Plant

Boston, Sept. 1O.-At the invitation
 of the Boston Chamber of Commerce representative brewers from all over
 the United States will gather in this city next week for their annual con vention, the date being September Is, 10, 20. This meeting WiN be the hfty-second annual gathering of the United States Brewers Association, years. The convention will have three distinct sides-busfness, social and educational.
 The latter will take the form of an elaborate exhibit, free to the public, of
 brewing machinery and operations.
 brewing materials, and brewing pro- duets. This will be given under the aus pices of the Massachusetts Insti- tuoe of Technology.
 The most notable feature of the ex- hlo1tlon will be miniature brewery model plant occupies a space 20 feet long, 8 feet wide and 10 feet high; and is equipped throughout with modern brewing machinery and uten- sils on a correspondingIy dininutive scale. Given storage capacity, and time for ageing it's product. and no quality, if not a satisfactory quanti- ty, of beer or ale. This little brewery will be seen in full operation through out the convention period and will be dem nonstrated for the benefit of all- corners by competent masters of the brewing art.
 PosS1Dly less spectacular, but equal ly interesting from the popular stand: point in these days of close examina- ton into food products, will be a. com plete exhibit of the raw materials of the breWer-hops, barley malt, cereals, etc, made by the Crop Improvement Committee of the United States Brew CTS Association.
 This show will include exhibits of the new 1912 crop of hops from the Pacific Coast, New York State, and Germany. One of the most interest iT10r I7 vested this year from vines planted only last Spring in the newly irri- gated lands of the Sacramento Val- ley, California The significance of it is remembered that there are only
 very few sections 1n the whole world in which the hop-growers can obtain a crop the first year after plant ing, and when it is noted that these new lands have produced this year a crop double the average yield of the long established hop fields of New York State.
 The Crop Improvement Com mmittee has also arranged an exhibit showing the constructive work which is being the United States, with especial ref erence in this case to the improve brewers chief raw material. Still another exhibit will demon | strate the analysis of a gallon of beer, showing visually the exact proportion Ol oOliOS, dAOOI1Olt NdlC1, ClN., dANl
