 'aThe sky was quite clear for the first four hours, when the visibility became very bad. Heavy cloudbanks were en- countered and eventually we flew into a heavy storm with rain squalls.
 At this time we were flying well above the clouds at height of about 15.- 900 feet.
 eve, of course, realized that until the system was clear we could not rise much higher without using lots of motor power. When we were about 121 hours on our way the circulation system was still giving us trouble and we realized that we could not go on using up our motor power.
 '"Then it was we reached the first fateful decision to play for safety. We changed our course and began flying dia,gonally across the main shipping route for about two and half hours. when, to our great relief, we sighted a Danish steamer which proved to be the tramp Mary.
 We sent up our very light distress signals These were answered promptly and then we flew on about two miles and landed in the water ahead of the steamer"

 of Building Operations

Senator Oscar w. Underwood, in letter to Postmaster R. B. Smyer. re- ceived yesterday stated work on the new Birmingham postoffice and federal building on Fifth avenue and Nine teenth street, will be resumed this week. A conference of the representa- tives of the treasury department at Washington and of the construction company will be held in Birmingham today, at which time details for the resumption of work will be completed and the exact date announced.
 About 30 per cent of the work on the building has been completed. The Charles McCaul company, contractors for the building. Is considered one oi
 the largest contracting firms in the
 United States.
 This was certainly good news" salc
 Postmaster Smyer yesterday afternoon
 "and the building cannot be competed , too soon for us. We are in urgent neeo of larger quarters and it will be neces' sary for us to rent additional rooms tc take care of the incoming and out going mail With the present quarters we are unable to handle the mail a' efficiently as we desire.
 The abnormal labor conditions, to- gether with the conditions of the ma terial market, are largely responsible for the delay in the construction, how ever I am of the opinion that all o1 these details will be worked out a the conference and the work will pro ceed immediately"

OPERETTA BY THE EUTERPEAN CLUB
 MUCH ENJOYED
Entertainment Given by High School Pupils at Jefferson Theatre
 Finished Performance

The operetta, Contest of the Nations, presented by the Euterpean club of the Birmingham Central High school Satur, day afternoon at the Jefferson theatre was repeated last night, with even more finish than on the occasion of the initial nerfornance. Miss Leta Kits, super visor of music of the public schools, was the conductor.
 It was a brilliant affair indeed. The chorus in costume. presenting riot of colors. was made up of 200 or more voices. No trained body of singers was ever more effective. Those fresh, young singers proved revelation and chorus worth while. It was well balanced and in attack, phrasing and information was altogether admirable.
 In ensemble it was up to high stand ard of excellence. and it is not too much to say that it was the strongest chorus ever heard in Birmingham.
 The high school orchestra played the accompaniments and added greatly to the interest of the performance It has made marked progress within the past year.
 The fancy dances were equal to the best professional efforts and especially fine, and especially was the 'Tarantella" and khe minuet and the Irish and Scotch filings
 The theatre was crowded and the audi ence gave expression to it's delight by rapturous applause after each dance.

I had the honor of calling the attention of the govern ment, through him, to the remarkable concurrence of earthquakes and mine ex- plosions, the result being that many lives have been saved through the bulletins issued by the government warning the mines of seismic disturbances following which accumulations of gases in mines may be expected, and as against which
 provisions are to be made.
 , The observations, details of which were
 given to the senator, are not more re-
 markable than the observations I beg
 to leave to set forth herein in connection
 with the terrible visitations on the Island
 of Java, reported in the press of the
 day. Those of my readers who carry
 within themselves the evidences of God S
 favor which are vouched by seniority of
 age and gravity of character, may recall
 tkat in the month of May, 1883, a most
 terrible earthquake occurred in the
 straits of Sunday, between the islands of
 Java and Sumatra. which manifested it. self in the disappearance of a chain of
 mountains which suddenly sunk into the sea- carrying with the subsistence not only the mountain range but the towns and villages, and the inhabitants of them who, during the course of years, had dwelt in security in the devastated region.
 Shortly thereafter, the forces of nature manifested themselves in the sudden up heaval of a range of mountains which ! took the place of those which had sub sided, and during the fall of that year the sunsets all over the world were oi | the most noticeable deep red, the scien- l lists of the day attributing the red sun ! sets to the red dust which had been thrown into the atmosphere by these 1 wonderful manifestations of the powers l of nature.
