At tlmt moment I should any tlio enemy's front He wna within four 111IU of Antwerp. from my elevated position I had an etocllcnt view also or tlio great oil tank on tlio oiKelte side of the Bcheldt They bud been set on fire by four bomb from n Civrtnno Tiiube, and huge, thick volume of black amoks was ascending SK) feet Into the air. Like Dora'a Ida of Infamal Regions. In all direction wore fire and flntnc and oil Inden atnoko. It wn like hit of Guatuve 1 Hire 'a Idea of tlio 1 11 fern n I regions, from time to tlmo groat tongues of Ore allot out from the tanks, and In tbla way, the flames greedily licking tlie sldea of other tonka, the conflagration spread. Uow long this pnrtlculnr Ore raged I cannot any, for I saw milthi'r the beginning nor the end of It, but while I watched It progmia It seemed to repreeeut the limit of wbnt a Ore waa capable of. After watching for eotne considers ble time the panorama of destruction that lay unrolled all around me I came down from my poat of observation 00 Uie cathedral roof, aud at tbe Tory moment I reached the afreet a 28 con , Unictor aliell struck confoctloner'a hop between the Place Verte and the (Mnce Mate It waa one of theae high eiploalTt ahella, aud the ahop, a wood n atructure, Immediately buret Into flame No Way to Cheok Fires.

The reservoir ten inllea ouuklo tlie city waa cut off aud aa tlita waa the tlty's ninln source of aupply. Indeed prnctlcnlly Ita only eourre, great ap prehension waa felt The hen It h of the city waa thereby menaced, for there waa danger of an epidemic. Happily atrlcken Antwerp waaapared tills added terror. It had plenty of jthcr aorta, and aome of theae I experi enced when after tearing the cathedral I mode my way to tlie aouthcrn auction f tbe city, where ahella were bunting it the rate of Ove a minute.

When the people of Antwerp bad to fly at midnight by tbe light of their bumlug homes and to the death marcb of booming guua they naturally Bought tho line of leant resistance, and fur the majority tbut Hue led due north to (tosundua). Though Rosendual la llttlo more than a village, It la an Important railway center, commanding all the main routes, and, with a station nearly as large aa all tbe rest of tbe town In wblcb to handle the frontier truffle, It became an Ideal clearing bouae for refugees. It la estimated tlmt nearly 200,000 have passed through during tbe last few days, thence to be distributed all over Holland. Tbe townspeople and troops alike threw themselves and all their re sources Into tbe work of helping tbe belplcsa. We must write Rosendaal high In the list of places that bave served the world by love and mercy, snys an Am- Rterdam correspondent. Those days and nights on tho frontier seem a hideous nightmare. Whistles For Wounded Soldiers, Dr. Monnler, a Paris surgeon, la urg ing the authorities to provide every soldier with a whistle for use when wounded to call Btreteber bearers.

WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK Little Variation In Deelgns of the New Notaa Which Are to Be Ready to Meat Demande Whan the Federal Banking System Coaa In Effeot Will Need About $250,000,000. - The federal nm-rvo bunks, as soon us tliey are organised mid the proe- Iect In tlmt they will be open for busl uchs 011 or before Nov. 1-wlll need the currency provided for by law to meet their iiecoMHltle. Money Will be printed by the bureau of engraving ami printing utid ready for dlHtrlbutlou aa early us Nov. l.'i, continuing uuill tho entire need Is an Hailed. ' Tills, any the Washington 8tnr, la pronounced a wonderful accoitipllan- iiieut by the bureau of engraving and printing. It bus meant fortnight end preparedness, 1111 understanding of a pruNpoctlvo situation and the inking of atepa to anticipate It, for It tnkea nine months to engrave a pinto for now money. And deslgna fur this new fed eral reserve currency, while drawn and auliuiltted mouths ago, received the approval of the secretary of the treas ury a comparatively short time ago. Tho new currency law provides for two kinds ot paier currency to meet tho necessities of tbe federal reserve systoiu. Tbe federal reserve notes will be Issued to the twelve federal re serve bunks and be secured by col lateral equal to the amount of notes. The foil era I reserve banknotes are to lie Issued to member banks under prac tically the same conditions as are na tional banknotes that are now Issued to national banks. The federal reserve currency will co us 1st of notes of Ave dollar, ten dol lar, twenty dollar, fifty dollar and one- hundred dollar denominations. It la estimated that there will be $230,000, 000 of tbla currency required to be In circulation or In stock for Issue. Print lug will begin Nov, 1 and continue un til tbe necessity ceases. Federal re serve banknotes will Issue In values aa are Issued now In national bank notes $3, $10, $20 and multiples of $100 to meet the public requirements. Tbla money will not be required for circulation for some time. Tbe way to furnish promptly tbe now money la clear at this time at tlie bureau of engraving and printing. Tbe great rolumo of emergency currency printed under tbe authority of tbe Vrccland-Aldrlch act, amounting to $7o0.00U0,000, baa practically all been made, and Is Issued or resting in tbe vaults of the United Suites treasury. The great volume of federal reserve banknotes, to be issued to the various member banks of the new currency system, will not be required for a year. Notea Similar In Eeeentlale. The federal reserve currency and tbe federal reserve banknotes are to be greatly similar In all essentials. Tbe same portrait la to distinguish each uote of tlie same denomination of ei ther form of note. Tbe same allegori cal designs are to mark notea of tbe same denomination. Notea Issued to tbe federal reserve banka are to bear tbe number and original Icttor of the district and loca tion of the bank. Tbe banknotes will bear the name of the member bank and Indication of district There bus been no cbange In tbe size of tbo banknotes from that now In use. The plan to put Into circulation a smaller note, approved by tbe Toft ad ministration but never carried Into ef fect has been abandonod. There la a great purpose on the part of experts in money making to provide a perma nent aud uniform currency that will bo for all time the paper currency of the land. This hope may not yet be realizable, but tbe tendency In money designing bus this thought In view. There la little variation id the gen ernl appearance of tbe notes of what ever denomination. Tbe bead of Lin coln, a finely engraved portrait adorns the Dve dollar notes and is act In tbe center of the face. On the reverse sldo are two allegorical deslgna, repre senting tbe discovery of America and the landing of tbe pilgrim fathers, one on either aide of tbe back, leaving a large apace of whlto between. This arrangement la observed In tbe otber notes of tbe federal reserve currency. Jackson Is tbe portrait on tbe ten dol lar note, wltb allegorical designs rep resenting agriculture and manufactur ing. On the designs for tbe notes n8t yet approved Cleveland Is the portrait for tbe twenty dollar note, wltb allegorical designs of transportation by land and by sea. On tbe fifty dollar note Grant la to be tbe portrait . wltb allegor ical pictures representing tbe Panama canal. Malaria Mosquito Diaoovered. After ten months' study Walker and Barker of tbe bureau of science, Ma nila. P. I., announce that they have found that the cause of malaria la a hitherto unsuspected mosquito that In habits fresh running water. Tbe mos quito has boon named the Myzomla fohrlfera. Its presence accounts for hitherto Inexplicable epidemics of ma laria throughout the Philippine archipelago.
