HUNDREDS KILLED Death Dealing Storm Visits Sicily, ths Storm Being Followed by a Cyclone A Syacuse, Sicily, dispatch says: The island of Sicily has been devastated by a terrible storm in which awful loss of life and enormous damage to property occurred. The storm was followed by a cyclone. hours before the cyFor twenty-fou- r clone burst over the island a violent storm raged on the eastern coast of Sicily. The path of the cyclone was 124 miles long and everything in the line of the storm was destroyed. The sea swept inland for aeveral kilometres, doing enormous damage, while there were violent submarine agitations between Sicily and the mainland. Along the railroad from Catania to Palermo the force of the cyclone was such that rails were torn up and hurled to a great distance. It is reported from Modica, thirty-tw- o miles southwest of Syracuse, that a hundred bodies have already been found, but that the number of dead bodies swept away by the torrent is The newspaper Fractissa unknown. expresses the belief that some 400 people have been killed. The torrent destroyed everything on the ground floors in houses in the lower portions of Modica. Bridges and roads have disappeared, the damage amounting to many million lire. (A lire is worth about 20 cents.) f The survivors of the catastrophe have taken refuge in the hills. A relief committee and search pariies have been organized at Modica. The disaster is supposed to have been due to a marine waterspout The British steamer Caprera wa wrecked at Castania after a terrible struggle with the waves.

The Prinza (Press), a daily paper of Buenos Ayres, publishes a very violent article calling atleution to the alleged tendency of the United States toward imperialism, which itsuys is illustrated by the lauding of American marines in Columbia and protests energetically agaiust it. The paper says the United States does not exercise any political protection over South America, vyjiieh will never accept European or North American intervention in its affairs. The Prinza concludes with saying the Argentine government should oiake an inquiry into the matter and find out the real character of tiie aims of the United States so as to inaugu rate a diplomatic movement and prepare for defense and destroy the idea of the possibility of an intervention.

A dispatch received in Berlin from Taskent, capital of Russian Turkestan, reports a terrible earthquake August 22, the shocks continuing until September 3. One hundred persons were killed at Kashgar, in eastern Turke. stan, 400 in the village of Astyn, twenty at Jangi, while the town of Aksuk sitche was completely destroyed.' Kashgar, capital of the province of Sinkiang, is situated at the confluence of roads leading to Pekin, India and the Eussian empire, and is of considerable importance. It has a population of 50,000. The Gazetteer mentions the town of Aksu, in eastern Tnrkestan, and says is a center of trade, the foreign traders, about 100 in number, being There are mostly Russian subjects. 4,000 houses in the town itself. A dispatch to the Allahabad, India, Pioneer from Kashgar, says that oijly a dozen people were killed there in the earthquake, but that the disturbances wrecked many villages in the northern part of the province, the total of persons killed being 1,000. There were no premonitory signs, says the dispatch, but a profound rise in thq temperature followed the principal shock. The temperature continued to rise during the subsequent days, which were attended by a repetition of slight The dispatch says no Euroquakes. peans lost their lives. to Unda Bam. The singular circumstances reported by the German merchant in the above cablegram was explained by the reception of two cablegrams from United States Minister Bowen at Caracas, at the state department. The first dispatch stated that the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador had approached Ciudad Bolivar, flyiog the American flag. 'She did not lower the flag until she was very close to the pier, when she opened fire upon the insurgents from her position there, creating great When the Restaurador consternation. returned to La Guayra, the fact was reported to Minister Bowen, who indignantly demanded a complete apology from the Venezuelan government and also that the flag of the United States be saluted by tbe offending ship. The second cablegram from Mr. Bowen reports that Ih'e Venezu'ear. government promptly acceded to the terras, made a suitable apology and the commander of the Restauador hoisted the American flag and fired a salute. The matter is still under consideration by tbe state and navy deparments. nMuela Appoloflzo Man Waylaid and His Skull Crushed W kill a Club. n James VViston, aged 48 killed, and his years, was J. Lewis, was severely injure(l by a gang of Hungarian strikers who waylaid them on their way to work at the Grassy Island colliery of the Delaware & Hudson company at Oliphant, Pa. The affair took place only half a mile from the camp of the Thirteenth regiment at Oliphant. Lewis got away, but Win stons skull was crushed with a club and he fell unconscious. While he lay prostrate and dying the crowd jumped on him, kicked him in the face and beat him- - with clubs. Winston was carried borne by William Doyle, a non union maa, and Mrs. Doyle, who witnessed the murder. nerry Simroek, Tom Preaton and Harry ShubJh, the three men who are alleged to have committed the crime, have fled. Six men and women who were in the crowd from which the as saiiants emerged were arrested and held in $10,00 bail each as witnesses. Mrs. George Marshal, colored, wife of the proprietor of a hotel at Jessup, armed with a shotgun, safely escorted a hunted noij-uniman through crowd of 100 strikers from the hotel to the Sterrick creek colliery stockade Friday. When the crowd began to avenge itself by bombarding the hotel, Mrs. Marshall fired on the nearest group and peppered a dozen men with bird shot. This scattered the mob. son-in-la- S. Natural Reproduction of Trees. A line of work recently taken up by the Bureau of Forestry, and for th first time receiving adequate at tentlon in the United States, is the study of the tendency of natural forests to extend over the land devoid of forest growth. This tendency has been noticed in many parts of the country, but has never been studied with a view of controlling it for practical use, or assisting it where desirable. A field party from the bureau is now investigating the reproduction of white pine on pastures and aban doned lands in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to learn the conditions under which reproduction takes place. The bureau is making this in vestigation in order to be able to give owners of Buch lands directions as to the best methods of handling them, with a view of securing a stand of pine by , natural seeding. A field party of six men is studying the same problem in Oklahoma, in connection which with the hardwood growth composes the timber belts of that region. It has been found in certain places in the middle west that natural forest belts have extended up streams as much as two miles in the last twenty-five years. Particular attention will be paid to devising methods for extending and improving the forest growth of the Wichita Forest Reserve, where at present the stand of timber consists of only a scattering growth of oak. A similar study is being made on the Prescott Forest Reserve in Arizona, where the stand of timber consists almost entirely of western yellow pine. For several years only a scant reproduction has taken place on this reserve, and one of the objects of the present investigation is to devise means of increasing the stand of young timber.

Of the ten anthracite coal producing counties of Pennsylvania state troops are camped in five. Despite the presence of the troops in these districts, rioting and general lawlessness continues in the hard, coal territory from Forest City, Susquehanna county, on the north, to Williani&town, Dauphin county, on the south, a distance of more than 100 miles. The section of the strike region in tbe viciuity of Forest City", which has been comparatively quiet ever since the sttike began, was greatly wrought up Wednesday by crowds of strikers interfering wi li and beating men who had returner! to work, and as a result Sheriff Macy of Susquehanna county', has asked Governor Stone for troops to assist him and other civil authorities to preserve tbe peace. At present there are four full two companies of another and two troops of cavalry In the field. If the disorder continues Governor Stone will be compelled to call out additional soldiers. While there has been no big general riot, the disturbances have been of such a serious nature as to cause tbe author' ities much apprehension. on regi-meu- Moro Occupy Strong Position. ts, Sofl for Rye. Miles:' Although rye can be successfully grown on a great variety of soils, yet it is of the finest and best quality when produced on a dry, sandy one, where few, if any other grains can be cultivated with equal ad van tage. By this we do not mean the poorest soil that can be found and which contains but little of the elements of plant food, or that rye can be successfully grown wdth but slight preparation of the land and the constant cropping of the same fields with U and no manure supplied to return the nutritive properties extracted by successive crops. We have seen' a good growth of rye on- a sandy soil that would produce scarcely anything else, but the 'soil was .fairly enrjehed before the seed was sown. Clay is not favorable to its cultivation, especially a heavy undrained clay, and it will never do well in a wet soil oz any kind. A clay loam will produce a fine growth of straw, but the grain will not be as good as that produced on a sandy soil, the latter producing a more plump kernel of better quality than the forme.-- . A rich loam will produce a larger quantity of grain than sandy soil, hut of less value. Rye Is a strong feeder and will extract about the last element of soluble plant food from the soil; hence, land that has become so exhausted that it cannot yield rye, is veiy poor indeed and will require a long period of. rest or a large quantity of manure of some kind to cause it to produce anything. Farmers Review. Manly Manure Ewes and Rams for Breeder, station bulletin experiment say: As a rule it is lnjuitous to breed immature stock; and the best returns are not to be expected from west or very old animals. Both observation and experience have con- -' vinosd me that the use of a ram lamb, for example, as sire in a flock, result in Iambs lacking in character and of uncertain quality, while the use of matVred ram would have given satis factn-- returns. There is a generM tendency, in the anxiety to secure-- r suit from breeding herds, to breed th femf ies at too early an age, which too oftert injures the vitality and growth, and promotes reduced size and quality! Anirials should not be required to take on theiuseives the burdens of motherhood until they have acquired y fair maturity and development. man Who' breeds his ewes to first as long yearlings, to have his beef cows first drop calves at thirty months old, or his dairy cows at twenty-fou- r or twenty-simonths, or his sows to first farrow at twelve or fourteen months of age, is on safer ground in building up his Herd than the man who will not wait for this maturity. In a measure, there is also objection in using very old or weak animals for breeding. Strength of character from such cannot b. expected to equal that from animals in the prime of age and x condition. Selecting Sheep for a Flock, J. Boynton of the Minnesota Association says: Stock Breeders Anyone that starts a pure bred flock should be fond of sheep and ambitious. He should take pride enough in the flock to be determined that it should not only be kept up to as high a standard &s when it comes (nto hi3 hands but that it should constantly improve. All successful breeders must progress. Start with the breed that you like best, if it is suitable for your location and there is demand enough for it to make it a paying investment as well as a pleasant business. In selecting the ewes for the foundation flocK get as uniform a lot as possible, as this will be a great help to you. It is hard to breed anything uniform from an uneven lot. Size is important, hut not so much as tbe quality. The selection of the ram Is the most ini-- , s if not portant. He is one-hal- f of the flock. Dont be afraid to invest your money in a good ram. You cannot keep your flock up if you do not use good sires. A flock of poor quality ewes can be greatly improved by using good sires, but a poor ram will run down the quality of the best flock of ewes. A highly fitted and finished ram should be avoided. He is at his best and will never look a3 well again. Fay for the quality but not the fitting. Captain John Pershing has found the Moro position at Macin, island of Min Novel Method of Planting Tree.

The writer was once on the fair grounds at St. Louis and was looking over the apple' exhibit To the man in charge ot the Missouri exhibit he remarked the want of flavor of a certain variety of apples grown in the prairies states. He was answered that tbe same Variety grown in the Ozarks had e finq flavor, and, to prove his assertion, handed the writer an apple fromfhe' region named. It wa3 indeed highjyt flavored. Possibly the composition of the soil has much to do with this. The clay soils that are rich in Kme seem to give high flavored fruit. Yet it may be due to other things than the condition and composition of soil. Perhaps on the rich prairie1 soil the fruit of the trees an4-.o- f is too rapid to admit of the best qf, results in the Way of' 'flavors. 'We would like to hear from our- readers on this point Do soils affect flavor, of apples? Farmers Review.

The aggregate number of bacon factories memtbe bers was about 65.000.
