Professor Wiggins believes that tel egraph wires cause drought; that the atmosphere cannot absorb moisture unless it is charged with electricity and that upon an oblate spheroid like the earth the electricity will inevitably collect at the equator. In this way he explains the frequency of the rains at the equator. “If, however,” he says, “there be elevated spots on a sphexe, electricity will collect on them. Should these spots or continents be connected by wires, it might accumulate on each alternately. This has happened, and America has all of the electric energy, and Europe has lost it, so that our continent is flooded, and Europe is burned up with drought.” His con clusion from all this is that electric wires should be buried.— Chicago Tribune . Why Picnics are so Called. Everybody knows what a picnic is, but most of folks would find it hard to say how it got that name, and yet it is simple enough when you come to learn it. When a picnic was being arranged for, the custom originally was that those who intended to be present should supply the eatables and drink ables. A list of those necessities hav ing been drawn up, it was passed round, and each person picked out the article of food or drink that he or she was willing to furnish, and the name of the article was nicked, or ticked off the list. The open air entertainment thus became known as “pick and nick.” The custom is said to have dated from 1802, so that the picnic is wholly an institution of the nineteenth century. Exchange.

A special of Thursday night from Beaufort, 8. C., is to the effect that over three hundred and ninety dead bodies have been found on the islands about Beaufort and Port Royal. Over two million dollars of property has been wrecked near the same points. And both of these are the direct re sult of the severe storm which swept along the Atlantic coast on the night of August 27th. Every one of the fifteen or twenty islands lying around Port Royal and Beaufort is steeped iu sorrow. Oil every door knob there is a bunch of crape, and upon every hillside there are fresh-made graves, some already filled, while others are awaiting the bodies that will be deposited in them just as soon as someone can be found to do the kind Christian act of shovel ing the dirt upon the coffin. The beeches, the undergrowth, trees and shubbery, the marshes and the inlets are turning up new dead bodies every time an investigation is made. Already more than two hund red bodies have been found, and many people of that section are confident in their predictions that the death roll will run as high as five hundred. Some of the people, and they are among the best people of that section of the state, even place the loss at more than one thousand. There has not been an hour of any day since the early hours of Monday morning that a dead body has not been found at some point ou one of the many islands. As the waters re cede and the people move deeper into the wreckage gathered by the storm the ghastly pictures are uncovered. So frequent are the discoveries that the finding of a single body attracts no attention at all. It takes the discov ery of at least a clump of a half-dozen or more to induce the people to show any feelings whatever, It is around Beaufort and Port Roy al that the death rate was the greatest, but in neither of the towns were many lives lost. At Beaufort only three coffins were brought to supply the local demand, while Port Royal got off even lighter. Around the two towns there is a chain of islands, and it was upon these that the black angel of death hovered for hours Sunday night, leaving in his path sorrow and desolation greater than has ever visi ted the state before, even in the bloody days of reconstruction. The storm was one of the most se vere the people of the coast have ever knowm. This section of the Atlantic coast has been prolific iu storms that scattered death and destruction of property in their wake, but the weath er wise man, the oldest inhabitant, or the coast pilot cannot recall anything approaching it. It was a storm of wind, rain and hail, and the elements seemed combined in their greatest fury. The seas ran high, and salt-w r ater waves were driven by the heavy winds as much as twenty miles inland. House were blown away; trees were torn from the earth, leaving holes big enough to hide a freight train, vessels were dashed against the breakers and thrown upon the earth as much as five miles from the water edge. The storm began, really, Sunday morning. The day came on with heavy black clouds hanging over the ports. An ugly wind started up about 10 o’clock Sunday morning, blowing from the northeast. It increased us the day grew on, and about noon a cold, chilly rain started. Long before dark the people living along the coast knew that a storm was inevitable but none dreamed of the great extent it assumed. Late iu the evening the wind took on a great velocity-, and as the night advanced the great volocity of the wind increased until it attained a speed of 130 miles an hour at 3 o'clock. And this is about the time the City of Savannah went ashore. But it was not until the next morning that the people knew of the great and terrible danger through which they had passed. A glance at the map w ill show that arouud the place of greatest disaster there is a group of some tweuty islands. Some of these are very small, with only one or two families living thereon, while others are larger and accommodate as many inhabitants as 4,500. St. Helena has a population of 4,500; Lady’s island, 1,500; Dawtha’s island, 75 ; Coosaw island, 600 ; Beau fort, town, has a population of 3,600. Port Royal island, embracing the towns of Beaufort and Royal, has a population of about 8,000. FOUR HUNDRED ARE DEAD. As far as reliable information which has reached the officers goes, the dead will number 400, and they are located as follows: At the Paeilic works sev enty-nine bodies have been found and buried. On Lady’s island twenty-four bodies were buried on Tuesday and others hav • been found since. On Paris island nineteen bodies had been recov ered and buried up to Tuesday noon. On Beaufort island twelve bodies have been buried. At the Coosaw mines five bodies have been buried. At Cain’s Neck twenty-two bodies have been recovered and buried, and re ports are that seventy-nine lives were lost there. On the Eustis place, one of the richest plantations of Lady’s island, forty-seven new made graves were filled Wednesday morning. At the other end of Lady’s island seven other dead bodies have been found. At Dawtha’s island, a place of about 1,200 acres, eighty lives are reported lost and nearly half that many bodies have been recovered. In addition to the list of those given elsewhere from St. Helena it is estimated that 150 lives have been lost. On Warsaw island reliable information has placed forty five in the grave. On hunting island, the island off which the steamship City of Savaunah was wrecked, forty six are dead. LOSS TO SHIPPING. The to shipping around the im portant islands is fearful. There are eight dredges which were employed in getting out phosphate rock by the several companies engaged in this in dustry. The largest one, the Kennedy, cost $350,000. The others were not so valuable, but all are beached high ! and dry, or are bottom up and hope -1 less wrecks. Connected with these dredges were washboats and lighters. There were something like three hun dred of these, the average value being about $2,000, and which are scattered all over the marshes. Many of these can be recovered,but there are at least fifty that are total wrecks. The damage to the phosphate indus try, to shipping, warehouses, com merce, merchandise, dwellings and crops around Reaufost and Port Royal will go to $2,000,000. Add $1,000,000 for Charleston, another for Savannah and the damage to railroads and steamship lines and there is a grand , total of something like $5,000,000 loss ! and 600 dead bodies as the fruit of Sunday night’s blow in a stretch of 100 miles on the Oeorgia and Carolina coast. It is equal to the devastation of war, and yet these are the figures given by conservative men. THE GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION. Governor Tillman issued the fol lowing proclamation at 11 o’clock Thursday night: “Having received the following telegram from J. 11. Averill, receiver of the Port Royal and Augusta Railroad company con veying the startling intelligence of an appalling loss of life and a terrible state of destitution upon the islands upon the coast of this state resulting from the terrible hurricane which the Almighty in His judgment has visited upon the people of the south Atlantic states, causing universal suffering: “ ‘Yi-.massee,N. C.,August3l.—To Hon. B.' K. Tillman, Governor of North Carolina: The loss of life by the recent cyclone on the islands ad jacent to B aufort and Port Royal will numb r not less than six hundred people. There are seven thousand on the islands entirely destitute of provisions. All they had lias been washed away and iheir crops are entirely lost. Great destitution will prevail among them unless they havespeeJy relief. I am working night and day to open up communication and hope to have trams into Beaufort not later than Mon day next. Please address any reply you have to me at Yemassee, from which point it will be forwarded by railroad, J. H. Averill Governor Tillman then goes on to call on the people of South Carolina to come to the aid of their suffering fellow citizens. He calls for con tributions of money, food, clothing and other necessaries of life sufficient to meet the present emergency. THE CREW SAVED. Tlie Steams!® Sayamiali is ¥kcM Olf Hnattng Island After a Seven Days’ Battle With An. gry Waves. Dispatches of Wednesday night state that the passengers and crew of the City of Savannah have been res cued and are safe, though the gallant steamship is a total wreck. After a seven days’ encounter with the ocean at its angriest, and after shipwreck on a storm-beaten coast the passengers of the ill-fated ship were rescued bjr the gallant steamer City of Birmingham off Hunting Island, on the South Carolina coast. Heartily and sincerely did Savan nah rejoice when the news reached the city, whose name the fated steam ship bore, and a nation rejoiced with her. A day of doubt and anxiety and sorrow had the happiest possible ending. As the gallant City of Bir mingham steamed up to her dock, bearing aloft the pennant of her stricken sister and below that most precious burden, her human freight, cheer after cheer rang out from the assembled throng to give her noble welcome. The rescue of the Savannah was the feature of the day's netv& from the Storm-swept coast region. In Savan nah, in Atlanta, throughout the entire country, the deepest interest was felt all day in the fate of the long-past due steamships. They had been given tip for lost; and j ust when everybody began to give up iu despair, the Bir mingham, with the Savannah’s people on board, reached her home. The City of Savannah was the oldest ship of the Ocean steamship fleet. She was built iu Chester, Pa., in 1877, by John Rorch & Son. She was of 2,029 gross tons and 1,358 net. Her engines were compound and were built in 1877. She carried forty-six officers and men. The steamer is a total loss. No information yet about the cargo. A STAY LAW WANTED. Sou’ll CitrolinA Farthers Request an Extrr. Session of the legislature. The farmers are becoming alarmed at the likelihood of having to market their cotton at present prices and the Mechanicville Alliance unani mously adopted the following: Whereas, The money sharks and goldbugs have contracted the volume of money so that there is practically no money in the country to move the cotton crop; and, Whereas, Congress does not seem to intend to give the necessary relief in time to save us from bankruptcy; therefore, be it “Resolved, That we earnestly appeal to the governor of South Carolina to call an extra session of the legislature, uot later than September 15th, to pass a stay law on all debts falling due on or before November 15th, so that we may be enabled to pay onr debts with out bankrupting ourselves and starv ing our wives and children. “Resolved, That under the present conditions there is no way whereby we can meet our debts without sacrificing our homes and property, which we do not propose to do. Takes our lives, but do not starve our wives and chil dren.” THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED And the World’s Fair Rates Will be Closed on Sundays. A Chicago dispatch says: The in junction restraining the directors from closing the World’s fair gates to the public on Sundays, has been dis solved. Judges Dunne and Brantano united in a decision to this effect Thursday morning. Judge Goggin dissented and upheld the decision of Judge Stein. With the injunction dissolved, the directors are at liberty to use their discretion in opening the gates on Sunday, and the rule adopted by them against a fair on the first day of the week will, therefore, be in force, CONGRESS IN SESSION.

Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the finance committee, reported back to the house the bill repealing a part of the Sherman act with an amend ment in the nature of the substitute. He asked that the bill be placed on the calendar and gave notice that he should ask the senate to take it up immedi ately after the morning business from this time on until final action is taken. ■When he called it up, Mr. Teller ob jected to its immediate consideration and it went over until ’Wednesday. Mr. Stewart’s resolution, inquiring in to the condition of the treasury, was then taken up. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, had the floor an hour on the silver question. He spoke in favor of unconditional repeal. He also declared himself in favor of free coinage. If the friends of bimetallism, said he, were strong enough in the senate to attach free coinage to the pending bill they would be strong enough to enact it afterwards. He was opposed to delay the repeal by a contest over free coinage. During the delivery of his speech Senator Gordon was given close attention by well-filled and crowded galleries. He explained his position by stating that the Sherman law was not the friend but the insidi ous foe of bimetallism. Twentieth Day.— ln the senate, Wednesday, after the routine morning business the bill for the repeal of the Sherman act was taken up, and Mr. Sherman proceeded to address the senate. He said that if the repeal of the purchasing clause of the act of Ju ly, 1890, were the only reason for the extraordinary session it would seem to him insufficient. It was, how ever, justified by the existing financial stringency. On one thing, he said, congress and the people were agreed, and that was that both gold and silver should be contin ued in use as money. Monometallism, pure and simple, had never gained a fbothoid in the United States. If the senators wanted cheap money and an advance in prices the free coinage of silver was the way to do it, but they should not credit bimetallism. Twenty-First Day —After some un important proceedings in the senate Thursday Mr. Cockrell introduced a concurrent resolution directed the sec retary of the treasury to issue certificates, not to exceed 20 per cent of the amount of gold coin and bullion in the -treasury and to use and expend the same in payment of interest on the public debt, or any other demand, liability or obligation of the United States. It was read and laid on the table for the present. The house bill for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was then taken up and Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado, opened the debate with a prepared speech against the bill, de livered in the presence of almost all the senators, and of a large audience in the galleries, Twenty-Second Day. —After some twenty minutes spent in the routine morning business of the senate, none of which was of public importance, the house bill to repeal a part of the Sher man act, was taken up and Mr. Yance, one of the minority members of the finance committee, addressed the sen ate in ojoposition to the bill. Twenty-Third Day. —Notice was given in the senate Saturday morning by Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the fi iffince committee; that he on next Monday move that the hour of meeting of the senate should be 11 a. m; instead of 12 m., and from that on He expected the consideration of the bill to repeal the Sher man act to proceed from hour to hour. The repeal bill was, at Mr. Voorhees’ suggestion, laid aside informally for the day as no senator desired to speak on it. The house urgency deficiency bill was then reported and passed with some small amendments. Mr. Dolph proceeded to address the senate in fa vor of the bill introduced by him ap propriating $500,000 to enable the secretary of the treasury to enforce the Chinese exclusion act. THE HOUSE. Nineteenth DAy— iu the hotise* Tuesday, after a little routine business* Mr. Catchings called up the report of the committee on rules reporting rules to govern the house of the Fifty-third congress. Mr. Reed twitted the demo crats upon their partial approval of the rules of the fifty-first congress, but, in a humorous vein, contended that they had not gone far enough. He then, in a more serious manner, argued in favor of the rights of the majority, which rights had been firmly maintied in the fifty-first congress. Then for the first time this session the speaker took the floor, having called Mr. Rich ardson of Tennessee, to the chair, and replied to the criticisms of the gentle in&U from Maine. The debate was continued by Messrs. Springer, Boat ner and Hooker of Mississippi, who contended that the membership of the committee on rules should be increas ed. Mr. Pickier, republican, of South Dakota, agreed with Mr. Hooker on this point. Messrs. Cumming, Hep burn, of lowa, and Bryan also joined in the discussion. Then the subject was dropped and Mr. Springer intro duced a bill to provide for the coin age of the seigniorage silver in the treasury. Referred. The house at 5:15 o’clock adjourned. Twentieth Day.— The session of the house Wednesday was devoid of inter est. Mr. Talbot asked unanimous con sent to introduce a bill repealing tUe statutes authorizing the appointment of marshals and supervisors of elec tion. Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, from the committee on appropriations, reported the urgent deficiency appro priation bill, and it was passed. The items are 825,000 for bank note paper, $200,000 for the coinage of subsidiary coins and $75,000 for clerks to repre sentatives. The house then resumed the consideration of the new code of rules with the understanding that the general debate should close at 2 o’clock. This understanding was disregarded and the time arranged so as to include the entire day’s geggion. The proposed code of rules was debated, both under the hour rule and the five minutes rule. Without disposing of the rules the house at 5 :05 o’clock adjourned. Twenty-First Day.— After the very little and very unimportant routine morning business had been transacted in the house Thursday, the considera tion of the new code of rules was taken up. Mr. Hooker attacked the proposition in the rules which confers upon the committee on rules jurisdic tion over all proposed action touching the order of business. He contended that such a course would mean the surrender of the powers of the great committees of tne house to a commit tee consisting of five men. Twenty-Second Day. —After the reading of the journal in the house Friday, Mr. Weadock, democrat, of Michigan, offered a resolution post poning from Saturday until Septem ber 15th the delivery of eulogies upon the late J. Logan Chipman, of Michi gan. Mr. Eeed said that the resolu tion pre-supposed that the house would be in session at that date. He had hoped that “the country would have been relieved of us before that time.” The resolution was adopted. The consideration of the ruleß was then re sumed. The vote was taken on the Boatner cloture amendment, and it was rejected, 90 to 131. Mr. Morse, republican, of Massachusetts, offered an amendment prohibiting the smok ing of tobacco upon the floor of the house at any time. This was adopted —55 to 51. Some of the most invet erate smokers in the house were sit ting around Mr. Morse, clouding him tip while he was advocating his'amend ments Several amendments looking to cloture in some shape or degree, and to the prevention of filibustering, were rejected. Mr. Morse’s amendment was the only one that was successful. The house at 5 o’clock adjourned until Sat urday, Twenty-Third Day —After the trans action of some routine business, in the house, Saturday morning, the consid eration of the rules was resumed. The first amendment presented was one cutting off the poiver of a single mem ber to object to a request for unani mous consent. It was defeated by a bare quorum. Yeas 52, nays 127.

Lowry City, Mo., has a 3740 pound steer, A Musical Canine Critic- A wonderful story of a French musi cal critic is related by persons who profess to have been acquainted with him and to have seen him in attend ance on musical performances. He was a dog, and his name in public was Parade. Whether he had a different name at home was never known. At the beginning of the French revolution he went every day to the military parade in front of the Tuileries palace. He marched with the musicians, halt ed with them, listened knowingly to their performances, and after the pa rade disappeared, to return promptly at parade time the next day. Gradually the musicians became at tached to this devoted listener. They named him Parade, and one or another of them always invited him to dinner. He accepted the invitations and was a pleasant guest. It was discovered that after dinner he always attended the theatre, where he seated himself calmy in a corner of the orchestra and listened critically to the music. If anew piece was played, he notic ed it instantly and paid the strictest attention. If the piece had fine, melodious passages, he showed his joy to the best of his doggish ability, but if the piece was ordinary and un interesting he yawned, stared about the theatre and unmistakably express ed his disapproval.— Youth's Com panion.

Don’t Blame the Cook If a baking powder is not uniform in strength, so that the same quantity will always do the same work, no one can know how to use it, and uni formly good, light food cannot be produced with it. All baking powders except Royal, because improperly compounded and made from inferior materials, lose their strength quickly when the can is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted. It is always the case that the consumer suffers in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder. It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more economical because of its greater strength, but will retain its full leavening power, which no other powder will, until used, and make more wholesome food. “German Syrup” Mr. Albert Hartley of Hudson, N.
