Hawaii, our new possessien, is commonly regarded as possessing a perfect elimate. But the report that 40 inches of rain fell there in 24 hours recently would seem to indiffate that the Sandwich islands have m“('re moisture than is needed for comfort. Forty inches/in 24 hours is the heaviest rainfall on record anywhere in the world.

When England and Germany get educated up to the point of disregarding “the stump speeches which,politicians ‘make in either country reflecting on the other country they will reach the level of American civilization.

The United States geological survey has discovered that th&' whole of Idaho is underlaid with abundant waters, and experiments are now being made to see if they can be reached by deep drive wells. It is difficult and expensive to sink deep wells there, because of the underlying strata of lava, but the authorities believe it can be done.

Filching of alleged famous violins and publication of real or imaginary pedigrees of the stolen instrument warrants the belief that antique enterprise ig now devoting itself less to tapestries and medieval paintings and more to fiddles. It is just as easy to make an old violin as an old anything else, and a name can be burned into wood as easily as baked into porcelain.

Dr. W. H. Milburn; the blind chaplain of the senate, thinks he may fairly lay claim to the title of “grandfather of the house.” He entered the service of that body ten years before John Sherman, of Ohio, and Justin S.

It is stated that the new artificial stone being made in Germany is being used very largely. Theingredientsare from four to six per cent. of lime and from 94 to 96 per cent. of sand, the mixture being pressed into any desired shape and then exposed for ten hours to steam at a pressure of 120 pounds. The steam brings about-a chemical change in the mixture, aswell as gixerting a great pressure, and it is said that the stone is as hard as a vitrified brick when it is completed.-

There was never an innocent and improving pastime, suitable alike to the learned and the laity, to compare in genuine fun and literary profit with the spelling “bee.” So general has become the vice of bad orthography that signs multiply in favor of a revival of the “bee.” There will be a little more difficulty than of old in agreeing upon a standard, but the words spelled more ways than one are compd"ratively few and not important. Teachers.of spelling, the few that remain in the schools, should be the first to encourage the joily “‘bee

Score another point for American corn, the value of which as food the world is just beginning to appreciate. Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the beautiful English actress, says she loves American cornmeal mush, which she eats both at home and here; that it is “lovely,” and that ‘“all women should eat cornmeal mush.” Mrs. Campbell is also lovely, and in view of the advertising she is giving our corn one can overlook the advertising she is getting for herself. Of course, the moral is obvious; if a woman would be beautiful let her eat American cornmeal mush.

A marriage between a marquis of France and a widow of his acquaintance has been set aside by the courts ‘because the marquis’ mamma did not give her consent and because the couple eloped and were married in England. The court expressed its utter lack of sympathy with romantic episodes of this kind, and this shows that in France matrimony is viewed in a light different from that in whichitis regarded in this country. If thecourts here ever undertook to set aside and annul marriages to which parents objected they would have their hands full,

ARE LEFT IN RUINS.

Sudden Collapse of Four Detroit Buildings.

Cause of the Affair Is Unknown —Five Business Firms Suffer -Totul Loss Will Exceed $200,000,

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 20.—Four buildings, each four stories high, located in the heart of the wholesale distriet of this city, collapsed at 8:30 o’clock Sunday night, without any apparent cause, and all that now remains is a smoldering heap of ruins. The buildings were a part of the block bounded by Jefferson avenue and Shelby and Griswold streets, and were occupied by five concerns, and their stocks are a total loss, which is estimated at $152,000, exclusive of the loss on the buildings, which amounts to $50,500.

The Losers,

" The buildings joined each other at the corner of Jefferson avenue and Shelby street. The first and second floors of tHe building on the corner were oceupied by the Maddocks Glove company, manufacturers of gloves and mittens, and the two upper floors were used by the Imperial Cap company, manufacturers of hats and caps. The loss on the stock of the glove company was estimated by Mr. Norman Maddocks at $25,000, and he stated that he believéd the loss to the Imperial company to be $15,000. Adjoining the Maddocks Glove company’s building was the brokerage firm of F. B. Neuhoff & company, who carried a large stock of commission goods. Mr. Neuhoff said his loss, like the others, was total, and amounted to $B,OOO, with about $7,000 insurance. In the same ‘building with this firm was located a stock of commission goods, which he carried for Hilfs Bros., of New York, and which Mr. Neuhoff said was valued at $7,000.

The Michigan Produce company also occupied a part of this building, and its loss was estimated by Mr. Neuhoff at about $7,500. The third and fourth buildings were oceupied by Crusoe Bros., limited, wholesale grocers. J. F. Crusoe, president of the company, said he was unable to give exact figures, but stated that they carried about $90,000 worth of stock, which was fully insured. Cause Unknown, No one seems to know what caused the collapse of the buildings. On Sunday night that distriet is practically deserted and the few who were in the vicinity say that the buildings seemed to fall into a heap

without appdrent cause, making a noise. like the rumbling of distant thunder. There are evidences of an explosion about the ruin, but no one heard a sound of such an explosion. The walls’ of the rear part of the Maddocks Glove company’s building are still standing to the height of two stories, but the roof of this part of the building lies turned bottom side upward in the middle of Shelby street, and a laige iron smokestack lies on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street, mashed against the buildings there, as if driven by force. Experts from the Detroit Gas company’s office made an examination of the ruins, but said they were unable to find evidences of a gas explosion, No One Injured. It was fortunate that the wreck occurred on Sunday night. Had it happened during business hours the loss of life would have been appalling, as there were approximately 200 persons employed by the various firms. They would have been caught in a veritable death trap and burned before they could have been rescued. The buildings collapsed into a heap and in a short space of time the inflammable material caught fire fron the furnaces used for heating the buildings. There were no watchmen about the premises, consequently there will be no loss of life. No one was injured, nor is there anyone who can give a definite reason for the catastrophe.

WU CALLS FOR THE CASH.

The $376,600 Captured by Americans at Tientsin to Be Returned to China,

Washington, Jan: 20.—Minister Wu called upon Secretary Hay Saturday im connection with the restoration to the Chinese government of the value of the silver bullion, amounting to $376,600, which was captured by the American marines at Tientsin, forming part of the revenue of the salt customs. This money would have been restored long ago, and, indeed, Secretary Long had contemplated turning it over soonafter it fell into the possession of the marines, but in the disorganized state of the Chinese government there was no official to whom it could be handed. Minister Wu has now béen authorized by his government to receive this money, and it will be given to him in the shape of a draft on the treasury. where the money is deposited, which may be readily exchanged for bills on Shanghai. Favors Panama Route. Washington, Jan, 20.—A supplemental report on the interoceanic ship canal project is in the hands of President Roosevelt, and is said to be in favor of the Panama route, providing a clear title and satisfactory concessions are assured. ‘ Will Be Taken to Court, Chicago, Jan, 20.—The suit between Missouri and Illinois concerning the Chicago drainage canal will be brought up in the supreme court within a few days for final disposition.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 20.—A special to the Oregonian from Astoria, Ore., says: Frank Rakowski, a soldier in the United States army, was Saturday degraded at Fort Canby and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the military prison on Aleatraz Island, Cal. Rakowski had thrteatened to assassinate President Roosevelt. ~ Dropped Dead, S Louisville, Ky., Jan. 20.—Samuel W, Hegar, head of the Hegan Maputac turing company, manufacturers of m&@&i oppe dad trom apeplesy on Market street Sunday afternoon.

# # & The Distinctive Value of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that. it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its - production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and ledves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful condition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among itSmany excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. e Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note the full name of the Company-——Califqrnia.Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
