STORM HITS COAST
Shipping Driven Ashore BY Blizzard
and Barge Crews Perish.
Summer Resorts Wrecked and Mil
lions of Dollars Damage Done
Snow Breaks Record.

New York-Two men drowned in
East River and ten men-the crews
of two barges wrecked on the New
Jersey coast, given up as lost-is the
cost in human lives of the storm
which swept over this city and this
vicinity early Saturday.
At Seabright, N. j., a fashionable
summer resort 80 miles south of here,
most of the houses have been either
wrecked or are under water. Several
hotels and fine residences were among
those undermined and badly damaged.
Seventy families are homeless.
The damage done to property is es-
timated at s1,000,000 most of it
borne by Seabright and other points
along the northern section of the New
Jersey coast. Most of the damage
was due to bulkheads giving way un-
der the onslaught of waves dashed into
fury by gale which at one time
reached velocity of 80 miles an hour.
The two three-masted barges whose
crews have been given up as lost were
in tow of the seagoing tug Edgar f.
Luckenbach. While the storm was at
its worst the barges broke away and
then drifted inshore midway between
the lifesaving stations Is and 16, six
miles south of Seaside Park, N. ].
Only the masts of one of the barges
was visible next morning and on il
was the form of man. Both mast
and man soon disappeared

Did as He Was Ordered.

A new boy had gone on board a
West India ship, upon which painter
had also been employed to paint the
ships side. The painter was at work
upon staging suspended under the
ships stern.
The captain, who had just got into
boat alongside, called out to the
new boy, who stood leaning over the
rail, Let go the painter!"
Everybody should know that a
boats painter is the rope which makes
It fast, but this boy did not know it.
He ran aft and let go the ropes by
which the painters staging was held.
Meantime the captain was wearied
with waiting to be cast off.

you let go the painter?"

Gatun Spillway Used
to Regulate Lake Level

Panama-Gatun spillway, which re-
gulates the levels of Gatun lake, was
opened Monday for the first time since
June 81. During the elapsed period
the water had risen from 1925 to S4.7
feet above sea level. While the max
imum level the lake can attain is 81
feet, the water will not be allowed to
go any higher at present because the
diking of the low ridges forming the
rim of the lake basin has not beer
completed.
1t is planned to open one gate of the
spillway for an hour or so each day to
keep the water at the existing level.
This process is to be utilized to rid the
lake of the vast masses of swamp veg
citation, commonly known as floating
islands.

Where the Farm Hand Baked.

Sam had worked on the farm for
nine years, and until his master took
to poultry farming he was quite sat
isfied with life.
But this poultry business was bit
too much. He had to take the eggs as
they we're laid and write the date on
them with an indelible pencil And
worse than that, he had also to write
on the eggs the breed of the hen that
laid them.
So one day he marched up to the
farmer.
I'm about fed up" he said, land
I'm going to leave."
The farmer was astonished.
Surely, Sam" said he. you are not
going to leave me after all these

Until a little more than a century
ago humanity had to rub along with
out false teeth, Of which nowadays
one firm alone sells more than 12,O00,-
600 a year. One Of the first success
full makers was Glussepangelo Fonzi,
an Italian dentist, who began practice
in Paris in 1898, and. thanks to his
skillful treatment of Lucien Bona
parte, soon made his way. After years
of experiment he discovered the sub
stance from which artificial teeth are
made and received the gold medal Of
the French Academy Of Science. One
Of the earliest persons fitted with
false teeth was the Empress of Russia.
After Waterloo Fonzi emigrated to
London and then to Madrid, where
Ferdinand VII rewarded him with
yearly pension of 1000 ducats for
set of false teeth.-London Echo.
