Dis patches from Leon, whem flood waters of the tiouiiig river inundat ed large eectious of the town, in dicate that distress lias been some what relieved by the arrival of food trains and of clothing, ciftdical sup plies and ten ho;pit;Lfci. Portions (if the tow are still flooded. Dodies of persons drown ed continue to be found. No esti mate has been madu of the num ber of fatalities. Houses weaken ed by the flood are falling. One thousand houses have al ready been entirely washed away. Tbe destruction of all cropB in the region surrounding Leon is report ed as complete. The burning of the bodies of the dead continues. Refugees return from the hills only to find piles of mud aud debris where once were their humble homes. These people ofleu are unable to learn tho fate of missing relatives or friends as most of the dead could not be iden tified before the bodies were buried or burned. Excelsior's correspond ent al Leon expresses the belief that several hundred dead are ly ing under the debris.

WITTENHEUG. Prussia. June 28. Two villages were flooded and three others endangered today when a dyke in the Elbe river near Dannenberg broke in three places. Twenty-five thousand acres have been Inundated. High Tide at Panama While It Is contrary to the usual Idea, there is really no dUTerenro In the main level of the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, yet the dif ference in the tides at Panama Is about 38 feet. This is due to the shape of the Bay of Panama. As the tide sweeps from the Pacific in to this hay It meets a funnel-shaped shore line, which gradually con tracts as the tide travels landward. Tm result is that the tide rises higher and higher until It reaches a maximum of 10 feet above the uveriige sen level. When it flows out of the hay It reaches a point 10 feet below the average sea level, thus giving a tidal fluctuation of '.10 feet. This snme rise of an exces sive tide may also he observed at the Bay of Fundy. On the Atlan lie at the Zone the tidal fluctuation Is ouly two feet. Adventure Mugv The Uuel Perkins nnd Jessup had heon hnv Intr heated words ns to which was the bravest ninn. The outcome wns nn npreement to fight a duel after the old-time style. Accordlntr ti the rules, they were both to he put In a darkened room, each with a revolver In his hand. The first one to find tho other was to fire once. After that no more phots were ro be fired. About three seconds after the lights were out was enough for Perkins. Thinking to end tho asnny. ho crept into the fireplace nnd fired up the chimney. Jessup fell dead at his feet. Death Hastened by Cup of Cold Water When General Kieber was assas sinated at Cairo by an Egyptian fa natic Jn-lMlXJ the French uu'hor ities condemned the murderer to be impaled alive. The sentence was duly carried out aud the punish ment was borne by the criminal with Irue oriental stoioism. The French account of the execution states tbat soon after his Impale ment, the wretched man asked for a drink. A French soldier was about to bund him some water, hut was prevented by the chief of the Mame lukes, who cried: "Gardez-voiis ett blen vous feriez mourir a 1' In stant ce crlmlnel."
