Mount 8t. Michel's Tidal Wave Ono of tho Sights of tho World. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon people gather on the causeway that connects the Islet of Mount St Michel with the French coast to watch the coming of the tide, one of the sights of the world. . , As far as the eye can reach stretches the gray sand, silent, empty. Seven miles and a half lie between the ocean and the rock. Presently a strange murmur pervades the air. It seems to come from nowhere and yet to be everywhere. , And then far on the horizon lifts a line of white. Every moment it draws nearer, and the sound in the air swells louder, and then with astonishing speed up the line of crested sea, and in a moment, where it reaches the sands, there is bat a space of swirling water. And on the waves ride in the fishing boats that have gone oat to sea on the tide at dawn, i Many a tragedy has been caused by the swift Inrush of this true tidal wave, for, save along narrow paths, the bottom of this vast, strange bay is but quicksand, and after the tide has once turned and the sound of its coming is heard no man can hope to escape its reach unlesj he be close Indeed to the mount or the shores of the mainland. Travel Magazine. A TRIAL OF STRENGTH. The Feat That Was Performed by ' Adargoma, the Wrestler. I Tradition has immortalized one Adargoma of Grand Canary, who could wresUe for two consecutive hours and, having been thrown undermost In a certain contest, got his antagonist between his legs and arms and squeezed him so that his bones began to crack. ! The native was subsequently sent as a prisoner to Spain, where he astounded the people by his performances. Ono day in Seville he was visited by a brawny youth of La Mancha, who was anxious to try a bout with him. "My good friend, said Adargoma. "as we are going to wrestle together it is only reasonable that we should begin by drinking something." A large bowl of wine having been brought, he took this in one hand and continued to address his challenger: "If with both your arms you can overpower one of mine so as to hinder me from drinking every drop of this wine we will try our strength together; if hot, you may return to your home.. The straggle took place, and Adargoma by degrees drained the bowl in the coolest manner without spilling a drop' of the wine. His one hand was more than a match for the other's two.

CORPSE JAS SAVED Carried from House When a Cloudburst Floods Town.

(National News Association) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 29. Reports early today from submerged sections of last night's cloudburst indicated that the total damage would exceed 150,000 with Lebanon suffering greatest. Many of the houses at Lebanon are under from two to three feet of water and the south part of the town is practically submerged. No loss of life had been reported this morning.

The body of Mrs. Zep Enfleld which lay in a coffin in her home, was carried out of the building through four feet of water as the house was giving way. The plant of the Peters Cartridge company was submerged and the loss to that institution will reach $25,000. A long trestle of the Cincinnati, Lebanon & MaryBville traction company was swept away. Parts of blocks are under water and hardly a house or business structure In the town escaped damage. Sick and aged people were rescued by men In boats. Lightning started two fires In dwellings and the firemen were unable to reach them except in boats. Whole fields of corn and wheat were washed away by the swollen streams. Loss to crops will be enormous. The village, of Lebanon, with its 2,700 people, today faced a shortage of rations with communication both by. telegraph and telephone destroyed and traction and steam roads unable to send trains into town.

(National News Association) EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 29 After Sept. 15, all Americans in Mexico will be put to death, according to a threat made by General Emilio Campa, who has an army of 400 insurgents in the Sonora district. News of this menacing statement was brought here today by Thomas Holland, a former Texas ranger, who recently has been fireman of the San Geronimo mines In Mexico.

ATTAINS HIGH SPEEO Aviator Travels 100 Miles an Hour in Flight. (National News Association) PARIS, Aug. 29. In an attempt to win the Pomeroy cup for sustained cross-country flight, Aviator Bindojono left here early today for Warsaw, Russia, via Berlin. Flying at the height of 526 feet, Bindojonc allowed his machine to travel at full speed, attaining a rate of more than 100 miles an hour at times. A message from Meziers stated that he arrived there at 7 o'clock and left twenty minutes later. CITY CANNOT MAKE CHANGE AS ASKED The city cannot compel grocers and dealers ' in food stuffs to sell by weight. This is the opinion of City Attorney Gardner expressed before the board of works this morning. However, he will delve deeper into the legal status of the question. . Marketmaster Taylor appeared before the board this morning and asked that this change be made. He stated that when produce is sold by measure, the buyer often receives less than he pays for, as some varieties of fruits and vegetables will not fit evenly into a dry measure.Selling by weight would insure the buyer getting his money's worth, Taylor contends. All the dairymen and coal dealers In the city will be notified to leave their measures at the marketmasters office in the market bouse after next Monday, to be tested by the new veights and measures recently bought by the city. FREE MARKET PLAN NOT SUCCESS HERE No more free market stalls. This is the decision of the board of works, and will be submitted to council as a recommendation of the board. Council is almost unanimous in favor of charging rental for market etalls again. The prices for foodstuffs at the market have not decreased, and the city is forced to pay the marketmaster's salary which formerly was paid out of the rent from the stalls. Free markets here seem to be a failure. Tho Gulls and tho Black Crickets. When the Mormons first settled in Utah black crickets came in myriads from the mountains and would have destroyed the crops had It not been for the gulls that came by hundreds and thousands from the surrounding lakes. At that time the settlers at Salt Lake regarded the advent of the birds as a heaven sent miracle, and ever since the gull has been esteemed almost as a sacred bird by the Mor mons. About the beet and alfalfa fields when they are boinsr irrigated the gulls still collect and feed largely on field mice that are so destructive to'crops Success Magazine. "

MAKES EXPLANATION OP TAFT'S ACTION

In Cancelling Order for Regiment to Enter Nicaragua Conditions Better. (National News Aaaoclatlon) WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. President Taft's cancellation of his order to the Tenth Infantry to proceed to Nicaragua was due to two causes, first, to the fact the chief executive was not fully informed as to the available force of marines In Nicaragua; second, because of reassuring news from Commander Thomas Washington of the cruiser Denver, which arrived at Corinto Tuesday night. Commander Washington's letter was the most reassuring word from Nicaragua in two weeks. The commander stated that conditions at Corinto were comparatively peaceful; that a detachment of ninety marines from Managua had arrived in Corinto T uesday; that the rebels, frightened by the fighting ships in the harbor, had promised to restore railway and telegraph communication with the interfor and to provide safe conduct for troops sent to protect foreign property. Conditions In the interior, Commander Washington says, appear to be serious because of the famine which threatens the county and the increased rebel activity in the vicinity of Chinandega. The commander does not think that Americans in Corinto are in immediate danger but he was unable to get in touch with Managua. A dispatch from Consul Johnson at Corinto, dated a few hours before Commander Washington's letter.spoke of numerous rebel threats to capture and sack the city' unless It surrendered to the lnsurrectos. The governor of Corinto replied that the city is under American protection and the rebel leaders were apparently convinced of the futility of attacking any town protected by Uncle Sam's men. A dispatch from Minister Weitzel at Managua, delayed three days in transmission, reported that the rebels were moving on the capital. It is likely that some of the sailors landed from the Denver will be sent Immediately to Managua to be reinforced later by a portion of the marines from the California which arrived today. The arrival of the California increased the number of American tioops now on Nicaraguan Boil to 1500. BOLT STRUCK E. 0.

Mosby disbanded the troopers who had followed his fortunes. Of late years Col. Mosby has never attended a reunion of his men, owing to his antipathy to public gatherings of every kind.
