WIND VELOCITY IA MILES
s.
Hurricane Over the Gulf States 10
Followed BY Earthquake Shocks.
Wires Crippled For Hours.

Memphis, Tenn. A hurricane
drove across the middle gulf states,
taking toll of two lives and causing
property and marine losses, while
earth tremors drove frightened thou
sands from homes and offices in Ala
bama and Georgia, but did no mate
rial damage.
Pensacola and Mobile were the chief
sufferers in the hurricane; one person
was killed at each pace and buildings
were unroofed, telephone and tele-
graph wires suffered damage and
ships were sunk and beached.
At Pensacola the wind velocity
reached maximum OF la miles, with
10 miles at Mobile, but in neither
city was the property loss anything
like as great as that caused by the
hurricane Of last July.
Mobile Ciy itself suffered little real
damage. but shipping In the harbor
did not fare so we'll, two small vessels
being sunk and four beached. Some
damage to train sheds and terminals
also resulted.
At Pensacola, one small steamer
went down, another vessel Is missing.
three fishing boats went ashore and
two larger vessels were damaged
when they came together during the
blow. Telephone and telegraph wires
were FRUSTRATED for many hours. the
city being cut of entirely from the
outside world from early morning un-
til early night.
While two distinct earthuake shocks
we're felt as far north as Kentucky.
and as far east as Augusta, Ga. they
were Of greater intensity at Birming-
ham. Ala, than elsewhere. There Of
fee buildings and homes were rocked
and thousands rushed into the streets.
The material damage was limited to
falling chimneys.

Metal Tent Supports.

Those fond of camping out win be
glad to hear of new contrivance con-
sisting of combined tent frame and
cot, which dispenses with cumbersome
poles and simplifies the question OF
how to move ones sleeping accommO-
dalton from place to place. The new
tent supports are of light angle iron.
and the longer pieces as we'll as those
forming the cots which go with each
tent are jointed so that they may be
folded up when necessary. The frames
of the cots are suspended from the up
rights by two coil springs. used for
the same purpose as springs in the Or
binary house-bed. During the day the
cots can be folded up against the tent
frame and well out Of the road, by
releasing one of the springs at each
end.

WHY STRIVE TO KILL TIME7
IT AnnlhiIation Were Possible, the
World Would Remain Just Elk
actly as 1t is Today.

There are so many gentle proverbs
devoted to the praise of Time, that it
is wonderful to think how, In our day,
that cOmely Titan has come to be re-
garIled by the most of us as our worst
enemy.
We are forever scheming how TO
forereach him, to get the better of him,
eYen-in the eXtravagant phrase Of the
speed-at-any-price maniacs-to ami
hiiRte him.
Those, to be sure, fail to see how
the contamination of their ideal would
leave them exactly at the point from
which they started.
Even the forty minutes girdle round
about the earth, if achieved, would
soon exhaust the exclusive potential
titles of existence: and, unless science
is prepared to deal triumphantly with
the problem of penetrating and breath
ing atmosphereless space, one fails to
see what the world would gain through
a perfected system of aeroplanes but
the taedium vitae in its final and quite
mcurable form.
