Whale Greatest of Marine Giants.

Giants are always interesting,
whether they are human, animal or
vegetable. and while in ages past near
ly all divisions of the animal kingdom
boasted giants of far greater size than
those of modern times, yet even now
adavs gigantic creatures exist in num-
bers in the sea-
The greatest of these marine giants
are the whales. And probably the
largest of the whales, as well as the
most gigantic of all living creatures,
is the sulphur bottom. 1t attains a
length of nearly or quite 100 feet and
a weight of $50 tons.
One individual measured 80 feet in
length. 80 feet in girth, with jaw

TORNADO PROPORTIONS.
Damage in Indiana Estimated at ST.
000,00o-Two Killed.

indianapolis, March PA storm of
tornado proportions, which swept In
diana, early today, did damage esti-
mated at a million dollars. Late re-
ports from over the state increased
the damage but the death list remain
ed at two. although several We're re-
ported fatally injured.
The wire service of the state was
demoralized. Trees were blown across
trolley wires. delaying the inter-urban
cars, and washouts on the steam lines
IN the southern part of the state made
travel uncertain.
Churches did not escape the ravages
of the storm. The Methodist church at
Upton, where the Northern Indiana
Conference is to be held, in the first
week in April was unroofed. The
smokestack of the Holy Angels Catho-
lie church here was blown down and
crashed through the roof onto an al
tar decorated for Easter. The Meth
odist church al Harmony was almost
completely wrecked Three churches at
Franklin were damaged.
A cold wave following on the heels
Of the storm added to the suffering as
many homes had been unroofed and
windows broken. A drop Of 80 degrees,
bringing the temperature down to
about 90 above zero was predicted.
The streets Of indianapolis were lit
cred with debris today. and city en-
ployes We're kept busy chopping away
fallen trees.

ed that the property damage viii reach
nearly d million dollars.
Tonight, emily one death has been re-
ported due to the storm, but the local
hospitals reported many seriously in
jured and reports from out in the
state contained similar statements.
Wire traffic was completely democrat
lzed and the telephone and telegraph
companies said that it would be many
hours before their lines could be re-
stored. In many sections miles of tel
egraph and telephone poles were down,
The police and public utility compa-
MES IN Detroit said. this afternoon,
that the storm was the most severe
and destructive of any that has visited
the citv in years.
The wind struck the city, about s
in the morning. BY noon every police
man on the local force had been or
dered on duty until further notice and
every preeaution was being taken to
prevent possible loss of life
The streets down town We're swept
with cyclonic force. Women were
thrown to the street. buildings unroof-

TWO LIVES LOST IN NEW YORK
Strikes Western New York Going S8
Miles An Hour.

Buffalo. March 21-The storm which
has been sweeping through the west,
for the last "A hours struck western New
York this afternoon. Two lives were
lost on Cuba lake and score of fisher
men narrowly escaped death on Lake
Erie off Buffalo harbor through the sud
den breaking up of the ice under the tre-
mendous wind pressure.
The fatality at Cuba lake occurred,
late this afternoon. Eugene Jones and
b. p Ackerley, Freshmen at the syra-
cure University forestry school. home
for Easter vacation. started on a canoe
trip. They were about 500 yards from
shore when the gale swept down upon
them overturning the canoe. Before a
boat could be launched both hat disap-
peared.
About so men were fishing through the
ice on Lake Erie Off Buffalo breakwater
when the storm broke. The danger of
the ice breaking up soon became appar-
ent and all started for shore. Half tae
party was safe in the harbor when inn
mense fields parted from shore and began
TO float toward the river. Ten men were
rescued by companions in boats and the
remainder We're picked up by tug. The
fishermen rescued by the crew OF the
fire tug refused to leave the ice noe I'M
til their dogs had been saved. The ami
mails had broken away from the sledges
and were rushing wildly about. 1t took
half an hours perilous work To effect
their capture.
The velocity of the wind. at o'clock,
tonight, was IS miles an hour.

will elapSe before wire conditions viii
approximate the normal. There were
practically no Western Union or Postal
wires working out of Chicago, but siren

by nightfall
In Chicago many trolley lines We're

pended. The sidewalks were covered
with fallen branches. Half dozen per-

from Northern Louisiana and Missis-

before winter officially ended, at 1880
O'Clock this morning. The storm
quickly spread over a wide area, de-
moralizing wire communication. Parts
of the South soon were cut off and for
time all wire communication south
of Louisville was suspended.
Little progress was made by the
telegraph and telephone companies.
until about noon, today. when an in
termittent service was established be-
tween the principal cities. Between
Nashville and Chattanooga "a poles
of one Telegraph company were blown
down and three miles of it's wires de-
stroyed
Today's reports bear testimony as to
the various forms of the storm. Us

panied by high winds which at Louis
, vile for a moment reached a maxi
mum of Is miles an hour. Texas ex-
perienced a cyclone and elsewhere
