The overhauling to which (the various royal palaces of England are being subjected. by order of King Edward, is leading to extraor iinary discoveries. Garrets and cellars closed for lohger than a century are being cleared and thrown open.

Work of American* Appears—Clearer than f riglish \ ersion. The first copies of the American standard revision of the Bible, the publication of which has been delayed for fourteen years by dissent among the revisers, appeared in Chicago the other day. The Americans claim for their work that many passages have been clarified by cutting out obsolete idioms of King James' time. Prof. Howard Osgood of the American company of revisers, in explaining for the Sunday School Times some of the changes which appear in the new revision, says that so great has been the change in the meaning and usage of words that some translations, accurate in their day, now misrepresent the Hebrew and Greek, as well as the English, of 300 years ago. "Prevent" then meant to go before, meet; now it means to hinder. "Let" then signified to hinder; now it means to permit. "Lust" then, as in German now. meant pure pleasure, desire, joy; now it breathes vile passion. I’rof. Osgood asks: "Why should we be compelled to read in the Bible the strange spellings ‘bewray,’ ‘ciel,’ ‘grisled,’ 'holpen,' ‘hough,’ ‘lien,’ ‘marish,’ ‘minish,’ ‘pourtray,’ ‘shew,’ ‘sith.’ ‘strake.’ ‘strowed,’ ‘victual.’ and others? A special dictionary of strange Bible words is required to interpret such spellings to us." i IgjgflL Yellow fever, 'rumpieo. Mex. Mackerel packers will form a trust.

While the entire city was more or less affected, the great volume o' raging water vented its anger over miles of the eastern portion of the <iiy an 1 caused an amount of damage approxi- ; mated at $1,000,6(10. The appalling overflow was caused by j ' a terrific rain that commenced to tall j shortly after 2 o'clock, turned into a per ] feet cloudburst between the hours of 3 ( and 5 o'clock, and tin ti continued with great force until nearly 10 o'clock. Ihe storm, according to the weather officials, was the heaviest that ever swept <>v<r Cleveland since the establishment of tli ■ government bureau in that city over forty years ago. That no lives were lost is nothing short of a miracle, ^s stories of thrilling iscapes from the water on several of th ■ principal residence streets of the city are told. The surging waters spread over an area in the east end nearly eight miles long and a mile and a half wide. This extended from Woodland Hills avenue to East Cleveland, and back to East Madison avenue. Torrents Rush Down Streets. Great volumes of water poured over from Doan and Giddings brooks down Quiney street, swamped Vienna street, rushed over Cedar avenue, back over on East Prospect street, rushed like a mill race down Lincoln avenue to Euclid avenue, and then mi to Glen Park place, where hotlses were undermined as though built of straw, and almost incredible damage done to streets and property. Over a large share of this exclusive residence territory the water rushed with terrific force, varying in depth from one to six feet. Culverts, trestles and bridges were torn down, and for hours nothing seemed capable of stemming the tide of destruction. Rowl»oats plied back anl forth assisting whole families from perilous positions. but these boats proved pitifully inadequate, and it was soon found necessary to go to the extraordinary precaution of calling on the life-saving crew from the river, a distance of seven miles. Rescuer! by Life-Faviuir Crew. The torrent surged with awful force for hours in Deering street from Fairmount to the boulevard, and over a dozen families were penned in like rats in a trap, with water five and six feet deep surrounding their homes. At this point the life-saving crew worked, and. assisted by squads <>f firemen and policemen, finally succeeded in landing the terror-stra ki n people in places of safety. The fear was greatly enhanced by the momentary expectation that the great Shaker Heights Aam would break loose and belch forth terrible destruction. Shortly before noon the torrent suc- < ee led in undermining a score of graves In the St. Joseph cemetery, at the corner of East .Madison and Woodland, an i the bodies were soon being tossed about in the waters. Fully a dozen of the corpses were washed into gutters.

The great sea of water reaehel a deptli of one foot on the first flo .rs of scores of the East End homes, boiling up from the sewers and pouring in from the streets, carrying everything that came in its path along with it. Id many cases the fear-stri;-k< n resiJems battered down cellar wails in order to give the torrent an outlet and prevent the swamping of their entire homes. THIRTY-SIX ARE DEAD.
