Upon millions poured oceans of seething magma carrying death more terrible than the death which rolled on the tongue of the great tides. The air which was breathed by other, millions was suddenly choked with sulphurous fume# and they fell like gassed soldiers, strangling in the streets of their destroyed cities. Live steam, blown with the violence of « hurricane, scalded populous center* and barren steppes Impartially. From a sky that had hitherto deluged mankind only with rain, snow and hall, fell now burning torrents and red hot sleet The very earth Itself slowed tn its rotation, s|>cd up again, sucked and dragged through space at the caprice of the bodies In the sky above. It became girdled in amok* and steam, and blasts of hot gas; and upon It as Bronson Alpha and Beta drew away, there fell torrential rains which hewed down rich land to the bare rock, which cooled the Issue from the earth to vast* metallic oceans, and which were accompanied by lightnings that furnished the infernal scenery with incessant Illumination. and by thunder which blended undetectably with the terrestrial din. At Hendron’s camp forty-eight hours in the Pit were experienced: and yet Hendron's camp was on one of the safest and least disturbed corners of the world. The first black clouds which Tony At Hendron's Camp Forty.eight Hours In the Pit Were Experienced; and Yet Hendron's Camp Wa« On* of the Safest and Least Disturbed Corners of the World. bad observed marked the beginning of an electrical storm. The tremor he felt presaged a steady crescendo of •arth-ehakings. He left his hilltop soon and found that the population of the colony which, an hour before, had Retired f«x the night, was again awake. He met Hendron and several scientists making a last tour of inspection, and he Joined them. The dormitories." Hendron said, “are presumably quake-proof. I don’t think any force could knock -over the buttresses we have put around the projectile." Even as he spoke, the wind in creased, lightning stabbed the sky. the radiance of the Bronson Bodies was permanently extinguished, and the gusty wind was transformed to a . steady tempest As shock followed shock, people began to pour Into the i outdoors. Tony tried to locate Eve., but was unable to do so In the gathering throng. f It was difficult to walk on the wide cleared area between the various buildings, for the ground underfoot frequently forced Itself up like the floor of a rapidly decelerated elevator. The nearer. The thunder was continual. It was hard to hear * tho voice of one’s nearest neighbor. ! Tony, with half a doxen others, ru hed Into the brightly illuminated smmen’a ' dormitory and hurriedly brougnb-fh m it into the tumult and rain those who > had remained there. By ten o’clock the violence of the I quakes was great enough so that it I was difficult to stand. The people bud- i ; . died like sheep in a storm in the lee of the buildings. Lightning hammered in- < cossantly on the tall steel tower which 8 surrounded the space-flyer. Tony moved through the assembled people shouting words db encouragement be did not feeL Shortly after eleven an extraordinarily violent shock lifted one end of the men’s building so that bricks and cement cascaded from its walL Tony , had the floodlights thrown on the landing field, and every one migrated thither. Before midnight some caprice of the •■tank disturbance snapped off the power. At one o’clock in the morning a truck from the kitchen <rf the dining halls floundered through the mud with sandwichee and coffee!. At two o’clock the temperature of the wind dropped, and the wet multitude shivered and chattered with cold. Hall fell in place of rain. tuir an hour utter me wina sroppeu abruptly; it nuffed. veered, and came • snd

immeasurable degree. Every man and woman was coin|>elled to lie face down on the muddy earth, the i ndulatlons of v, Inch Injr< I They lay for an hour or more, shivering. gasping for breath, hiding their faces. Then a particularly violent shock siiddenly separated the landing field Into two {tarts, one of which rose eight or nine feet above the other, leaving a sharp diminutive precipice, across the middle of the field. There whs no town. no daylight, only a diffused in . b-ouate grtt.vne>s. The people lay on the ground, each ui.sn wrapped in the terrors of his own soul, with fingers clutching the grass or buried In the earth. And so the day began. The air grew perpetually more warm. An aii'mcntod fury of the gale brought a taint odor of sulphur. . Midday held no respite. It was Im I possible to bring «.?• food against the gale, Impassible even to stand The sulphurous odors and the heat In- I creased. The driven rain seemed hot i Toward what would have been after noon, and in the absolute darkness, there was a sudden abatement; mid the wind, while it still blew strong, al lowed the shaken p<>pni:n-e to rise and to stare through the Tm|W>ne|ratto murk Fifty or nn>re of the men made a rush for the dining hails. They I found them, and were surprised that | they bad not collapsed. The low hills j "areiinil had furnished them with proj lection. There was no time to prepare ’ food. Snatching what they could, and : loading tben>M’l>«s with containers of drinking water they fought their way bnrk to the field. There, like animals, the people drunk and ate. finishing in time only to throw themselves once again on the bare ground under the renewed fury of the storm. Night came again. The sulphur In tlie air. the fmu. s and eases, the heal and smoke and dust, the hot rain, altn<»st extinguished th»-ir i ranth-ally defended lives. The dust and rain comblned with the wind to make a diagonal downfall of .foetid mud w hich blistered them and covered the earth. i The respite -brought by the second morning was comparative rather than real The wind abated; the torrential rain became intermittent; and the vis! bllity returned, though* tfb one could have told whether it was early morning or twilight Tony rose to his feet the Instant the j wind slac»ed. Through all the long and terribm hours be bad been atu»ent “ from Eve. It would have been utterly unthinkable to attempt to locate her In i the midst of that sound and fury. He found, however, that there was no use Id looking for her Immediately. So heavy had been the downpour of rain • slid ashes frr»m the sky. that It not only reduced the field to a quftgmin*. but It covered the human beings wno had lain there with a thick chocolates colored coating, so that as one by one the people arose to sitting and standing postures, he found It difficult even to distinguish man From woman. He was compelled to put Eve from his mind. It was necessary to think of all and not one. Many of those who had been In the field were unable to rUe. Several had been Injured. Os the older men a number were suffering perhaps fatally from exposure. Tony found that hta llmt»s would scarcely supiwrt hint, but after he had staggered for some distance through the murk. hi< nuinluul circulation was restored, and his muscles resi>ontled. Out of the subsiding maelstrom he collected some thirty or forty persons, most of them men. | j “Any of you men working on the power plant F* he shouted. . . “It'ghL You two come over here. Now who else here, was in the machine shop? Good. You fellows get to work on ‘ starting up the lights. They’ll be the first thing. Now 1 want half of you i to get bods in shape In the woman's halt" He counted the number he rej quired. “If they don't look safe," he ’ shouted after the disappearing men. ' “find a place that Is safe, and put the : beds there. We’ll have to have a bosV pltal." [ With the remnant of bis men he went to the dining halls. One of these * buildings was a complete wreck, but t the other still stood. They entered the I kitchen. Its floor was knee-deep tn I mud. He recognized among tlsose still I with him Taylor, the student of light, | whom he had sent to Hendron from ■ Cornell. "Take charge in here, will * you Taylor? I'll leave you half these | men. The rest of us are going to round up the doctors and get medical supj plies ready. They’ll want coffee out there, and any kind of food that they can eat Immediately." He saw Taylors mouth smile in assent, and heard Taylor begin to Issue instructions for the lighting of a fire In one of the big stoves. Once again he went outdoors. It was | a little lighter. His anxious gaze j traveled to the tower that housed the Ark. and from its silhouette he dej duced that It was at feast superficlal- . ly intact. The shouting be had done had already rendered him hoarse, for I the air was still sulphurous. It irritated the nose and throat, and produced in every • a dry frequent • cough. Besides the Irritating vapors | tn the air. there was heat, not the ’ heat expected any toy in July, but I such bear as surrounds a blast fur- ! ‘ naee-a sullen withering heat which blanched the skin, parched the lips and was unrelieved by the rivulets of ..... .h.

Tony went back alone to tho flying field. It was a little lighter. Mist motions were visible In the sky, end threads of vapor were flung over YhS Stygian landscape by the wind. People were returning from what had been the flying field to the partial wreck at the camps, in twos and threes, many of them limping, some of them being carried. He found Eve at last. Just as he reached the edge of the flying field. She was helping two other girls, who were trying to carry a third. She recognised him and culled to him. "Are you all right Eve?” His Soul was In his rasping voice. He came close to her. He looked into her eyes. She nodded, first to him and then toward the unconscious girl. Sbe.nut her lips close to his ear. for she coiild speak only tn a whisper: “Give us a hand. Tony. This girl fainted." He picked up the girt and they followed him through the slough to the main hail of the woiueu's dormitory. Beds were being carried there, and many of them) were already filled Some one had found candles and stuck them In window! sills so that the room was lighted. Alf’ , ’"t’f t*“ ,n «*n who were doctors were examining the arrivals. Tony recognized one of the men as Dodsop when he heard the ln.om of his voice: “Get hot water here, lots of it, beillng water. Don't anybody touch those bandages. Everything has to Im- sterilized. See If you can find anybody who knows anything about nursing. Get the rest of the doctors." Somehow Dodson had already managed to wash, and his heavy-Jowled face radiated power and ronfislence. Tony went outdoors again. A gong boomed In the kitchen, and he remembered his thirst ami hunger. Around a caldron of coffee and a heap of sandwiches, which wen- replenished as fast as they disappeared, weye groti|»ed at least two hundred people. Tony stood In the line which passed the caldron, and was handed a cup of coffee and a sandwich. The coffee tasted muddy. The sandwiches had a flavor not unlike the noxious atlnr in the air. Tony’s craving was for water, hut lie realized that for the time- ladna all liquids would have to be boiled With his first Rip of coffee he realized that brandy had been added to it. He wet his burning throat and swallowed his sandwich in three mouthfuls, and Joined the line again. <TO BE CONTI.NI’En.i SQX NEW SALEM Walter Harmon and family spent Tuesday with Howard Mock and wife.

CHANGES PROPOSED WOULD HAVE JUDGES APPOINTED rr! EXCEPT ON SUPREME BENCH Details of the plan of the state committee on governmental economy in the administration of justice for reducing the number of circuit and other county judges from 105 to 81, were made known. The recommendations would set up 29 circuits including two or more counties instead,, of the present 16. They would eliminate four superior courts. Kosciusko county is recommended for a full-time judge as in the past. Wabash would be coupled with Miami; Fulton would be coupled with Cass; Lagrange would be coupled with Steuben; Starke would be coupled with Fulton. Marshall also would continue to comprise a circuit. Principal recommendations include the appointment of all judges except those on the supreme bench; abolition of the Appellate court, and increase in size of the Supreme court to eleven judges. Judges’ terms in county courts would extend during good behavior and they could be removed only by impeachment. Criminal law amendments proposed embraced the following: Requirement that a defendant planning an alibi defense give notice of such intent to the prosecution before the trial; . liberalization of rules permitting amendment of indictments ancl affidavits; provision that the court shall conduct examinations of jurors, and prohibition against selection of talesmen from bystanders. o 2— REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS The Journal is furnished with the following transfers of real estate by Houton C.

BOOK REVIEW. . (By Bessie Witherel Ballard) I A recent publication of Farrar & ' Rinehart is “February hill,” by Victoria Lincoln, price $2.50. Primarily, this is a story of the stability and lasting power of family affection and loyalty. Whether in the highest of the high or in the dregs of humanity, this powerful love invariably triumphs. “February Hill” tells the story of a family not only financially impoverished, but spiritually and mentally degraded to the lowest dregs of society. Immorality, drunkenness, rumrunning and other crimes—all are set forth skillfully in the movement of the story. Shocking situations; lamentable, tragic, but sometimes exquisitely humorous, are portrayed in a straightforward, convincing style. Grandma, Minna, Jenny—three generations of loose-moraled triflers; yet* staunch and true to each other and to the rest of the family. It is a picture deserving a better setting. Longfellow said: * * that in even savage bosoms There are longings, yearnings, strivings For the good they comprehend not. • »* “February Hill" is the story of such savage bosoms; though their ’longings, yearnings, strivings” were restricted to and consummated in their love for and loyalty to their family. it — 1 “I didn’t see you in church Sunday" one man told another on meeting him on the street next morning. “Os course you didn’t," replied the other. “I took up the collection.” o And it is said: Many ladies have shoes on their hands that they cah) not get their feet into.
