Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE shores Of
Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie were
strewn with the wreckago of three
days gale and snowstorm which cost
the lives of probably 100 persons.
turned bottom up in mid-lake 300
foot steel vessel with its crew,
wrecked or grounded numerous other
craft and caused property loss that
will run into the millions. The full
details OF the storm, which swept from
the westernmost end of Lake Superior
to the eastern shore of Lake Erie, be-
came known when survivors began ar
irving in various ports with tales OF
hardships and heroic rescues seldom
equaled on the lakes.
On land the storm hit hardest at
Cleveland, Ohio, where five persons
were killed and ten others lost and
where 100000 damage was caused
to property.
A resumption of the blizzard would
cut off relief from the food scarcity
which the city now faces. Rain would
seriously complicate the situation, as
flood conditions would ensue.
The death toll, with many ports un-
reported, is told thus:
Twenty-Five to forty men probably
drowned in the overturning of a
freighter found floating in Lake HUI
ron.
Five bodies washed ashore at St.
Joseph, on the Canuadian side of Lake
Huron. Four had belts marked "Wex-
ford" and one wore a belt marked
London
Three bodies washed ashore on the
west shore of Lake Huron.
Two bodies washed ashore opposite
the position of the overturned boat
Six members Of a lightship
crew drowned in Lake Erie near
Buffalo, N. Y.
Seven bodies washed ashore at Ket-
tie Point, Lake Huron, and seven
other bodies rolling on the decks Of a
ship wrecked there.
At Port Huron, Mich, ten bodies
were washed ashore on the Canadian
side of the lake above Sarnia. Two
of them were identified as members
of the "Regina's" crew.

SPINNING TOPS.
Observation-Disclosures

81 had to go out and separate two
bows who started fighting infront of

the landlady. They had a quarrel
as to whose top was the best. They
seemed to think that spinning tops
is a most important matter. Were
boys brought up right they'd have
more sense"

tant in this world than spinning

tant, but nothing else is more impor-
tant. Nothing makes any difference,

so much happier if we could only re-
alize at the beginning that the tail

to work at it. He can just go around
showing the caloused places on his
hands and tell people he's a candi-
date for office, and they'll all vote
for him. 1t should be possible to at
tain calloused hands without work
ing for them. Chemistry should
solve this problem, but chemistry,
like everything else, is false alarm.
"Of course a man may run for
office on the callo,lsed hands plat
form, but in the last analysis running
for office is as useless as anything
else. If man loses he feels worse
than if he had a case of ptomaine
poisoning, and if he wins he has to
divide the spoils with those who
elected him.
THE only sane thing man can
do is to keep out of politics alto
gether, and there isn't much sense
in that, either, when you come to
think of it, for everybody will abuse
you, saying you evade your respon-
sibilities and are recreant to your
trust, and it will affect your standoft
at the stores, which is the only thing
that really makes a difference. So
kindly pass the cream, my dear Mrs

difference, and one thing is the same
as another, and nothing is worth
while anyhow, water will do on our

Dog Days. -

Dog days, so called. began last
Thursday, July 8. Also the annual
query: Why dog" days?
The name goes back to mistaken
notion of the Romans. The great
heat of the month that Mark Antony
decreed should be called July in hon.
or of Julius Caesar started a super
stition that accompanying discom-
fort, disease and disasters were some
how connected with the fact that the
star Canicula Little Dog'') between
certain dates at that season rose and
set with the sun. The Romans ac-
cordingly gave the name dog days to
the period between July 3 and Au-
gust II, and abused them cordially
in speech and writing.
That the dog star had nothing to
do with the case is proved by the
fact that with the subsequent changes
in the heavenly procession the star
does not in our time rise in coinci-
dence with the sun until the end of
August, while the weather from Ju-
ly 3 to August II is pretty much
what it always has been.
But, like the Latin months, dog
days" and the disagreeable qualities
attached to them clung and got a
good deal mixed up in later times
with our notions of the effect of heat
upon house dogs. For generations,
soon after July l, magistrates Of
towns used to order all dogs to be
muzzled and the poets announced
The dogged dog days had begun to bite.

It was the twenty-second of August, 1s51,e just sixty-two years ago today, that witnessed the first race for what has since come to be called the Amer1- ca's Cup, and treasured as standing for the blue ribbon of the sea. That first race between English and AmeF1- can yachts was the beginning of a long series of contests, in. which Eng land has tried in vain to recover the trophy.
