BY EARTHQUAKES
Devastation Throughout Sicily
and Calabria Is Complete.

SCENE OF EARTHQUAKE.
Fl"lly 10 the largtst Island In the
Mediterranean Sea. being a trHtnftle
1WI miles from east to west and
120 mllea from north to south- Its
are Is PTno square miles and Its
population in 1004 was estimated at
S.M7.00O.
The Island la covered with moun
tains, nearly the whole surface be
ing elevated. There are only a few
lowfylnjr tracts along the coast, the
principal plain being that of Catania,
on the east coast. Mt. Etna, the
great volr.no. 10.T60 feet high. Is
near this coast.
Messina has a splendid harbor on
the straits of the same name and Is
well laid out with broad streets,
paved with lava blocks. It has some
ancient buildings. particularly
churches, but most of the old build
ings have been destroyed by war and
earthquake. The population In 1801
waa 93.672.
Catania is a hand.oma city on the
east coast, with broad, lava-paved
treets and buildings of marble and
magneslan limestone. The city was
Important In Roman times, but the
Roman buildings have been almost
destroyed by earthquakes and lava.
It has suffered more front surd
causes than any other city on' earth.
In 16J3 It was almost entirely de
stroyed. The population In 1901 was
389.033.
" Calabria forma the toe of the Ital
ian boot and Is a fertile land, but
much subject to earthquakes, the
most disastrous of which occurred
In 17S3. Its population In -Iflni
was 1.370.2o. of whom 40.000 were
Albanians.
Messina lies on the line of con
tact of the primary and secondary
formations, on which boundary
earthquakes between Ae-na and
Vesuvius are always most violent.
The earthquake of Novenvber. J 894,
left many traces of Its destructive
force.
Calabria, elrht miles from Messina on the
opposite side of the strait, has met the
same fate rut Messina, but there re
ports have not been confirmed, owing to
the lack of telegraphic facilities.
A very severe shock was felt at Cal
tanissetta. a city of Sicily. and al
though much damage was done, no one
was killed. The shock created great
alarm and, notwithstanding the down
pour of rain, the whole population re
mained in the streets throughout the day
and marched in religious procession.
Pope- Wants to Visit Scene.
The Pope was greatly distressed on
hearing of the scourge that afflicted
the loyal population In the South. He
could hardly credit the truth of the dis
patches which described the devasta
tion and fatalities as ten times greater
than in 19"5.
After kneeling fervently in prayer the
Pope said, as he said three years ago,
that his place was among his suffering
children. It was his firm intention to
order that instructions be given for be
ginning the journey, but his physicians
and those in attendance upon him in
sisted that it would be impossible for
him to undertake such a fatiguing ex
pedition In his present state of health.
At midnight a regiment of soldiers left
here for Calabria.
Warships and Troops to Relief.
A flying squadron composed of the bat
tleship Vlttorio Kmanuele. Kegina Elena
and Napoll has been ordered to proceed
to Messina. The squadron will arrive
there Tuesday morning, together with
steamers of th-5 Italian Navigation Com
pany carrying supplies and troops. The
troops will be sent to various places to
keep down lawlessness. Senor Bertolini,
the minister of public works, left to
night for the south, where he will rep
recent the government.
Another regiment of infantry and sev
eral companies of engineers also left for

Injured, who were so stupefied by terror
that they seemed unable to realize what
hod happened, simply saying that it
looked as though the end of the world
had come. Five steamers left Catania
for Messina to assist in removing the In
jured from that place, who are reported
to number thousands.
Tidal Wave Sinks 500 Boats.
At Catania the panic-stricken people,
fearing new shocks, absolutely refused
to enter their houses' and are camping
on the squares.
The tidal wave sank 500 boats there
and did great damage to several large
vessels and steamers. Including the Aus
trian steamer Buda.
Not only did Catania suffer from the
enects of a tidal wave, but a similar
body of water inundated the baaclsonj
sret or hresslna which flank tho har
bor, covering them with a thick layer of
mud. which rendered more difficult the
succoring of the wounded, many of
whom could be seen ling under ths
wreckage.
Whole Villages Disappear.
It is reported that the villages of Faro
and. Ganzirri. adjoining Messina, have
disappeared. The effects of the earth
quake were aggravated through an ex
plosion of gas. The flames swept along
several streets, adding terror upon terror.
In Calabria, the region around Monte
leone was most afTected. The village of
Stefanlanlconi. the inhabitants of which
number 23,(-n). was virtually destroyed.
Only five persons were killed, but many
were Injured.
Monsignor Morabito. the Bishop of MI
leto. who distinguished himself in the
earthquake of 1H05. did valiant work
again today. He rushed into places
where the ruin was greatest and brought
aid and encouragement to all.
Thousands of persons abandoned their
homes, although a terrific rainstorm pre
vailed, and filled the air with lamenta
tions and prayers. In some places, such
s Prlzzo. C'ontrone. Santa Severlna and
Plscopio, the people entered the churches
almost while the latter were falling and
carried out the saints. They bore these
In procession through the open country,
Invoking the mercy of God.
People l,lve In Caves.
Tn the mountainous regions inland the
population has taken refuge In grottoes
and caves, where peasants, priests, sol
diers and persons of gentle birth are liv
ing In common. They sleep on the ground
and fires .burn to keep off wild animals.
Tn Aloi alone 30oo persons are homeless.
Kxtraordinary scenes are reported at
Catania. After a violent shock at 6:20
o'clock, the sea rose in a tremendous
wave, which wrecked many small boats.
It then suddenly retired and returned as
quickly, causing further great damage
and wreckage. Awnkened by the shock,
the Inhabitants fled panic-stricken from
their homes into the streets and squares.
Weeping; Crowds in Churches.
Processions were organized and soon
all the churches were filled with weep
ing crowds Imploring divine mercy.
Cardinal Nava. Bishop of Catania, ex
horted the people to be calm. He prom
ised that the body of St. Agatha should
be carried in procession. St. Agatha Is
regarded as the special deliverer for all
scourges and according to history the
pious Inhabitants of Catania diverted
the course of the lava stream in 1669,
when a fearful eruption of Mount Etna
took place, by extending the veil of St.
Agatha toward it. thus saving the city,
as the lava was turned aside.' near the
Benedictine Monastery and descended
into the sea.
While the number of deaths at that
place is not believed now to be large,
there were several terrific occurrences.
Among the children sept away by the'
wave was a boy 15 months old. who w.ts
torn from the arms of his mother. The
mother, too. was overcome by the force
of the water and lost consciousness, but
her body was caught by a railing and
she remained there until she was res
cued. Midnight reports state that Reggio, the

NEW YORK. Dec. 23. Half a million
dollars will be offered in nieniorv of
Abraham Lincoln by the people of this
country between Christmas and the lOoth
anniversary of his birth, according to the
leaders of a National memorial move
ment which was started in this city to

colored and white patients have been
treated, educated and housed here for the
last 69 years, is tho object for which
American citizens In every section of the
land are to be invited to devote their in
dividual tributes to the martyred Presi
dent. Seventy-five thousand dollars has
been promptly subscribed In this city to
start this fund, and Its completion in
time for the centenary celebration Is de
clared to be assured when the people of
other cities and states learn of the
project.

Strong Clique Wants to Smother
Postal Savings Measure.
' CHICAGO, Dec. 28. In a special news
article under a Washington date, the Record-Herald
today eays:
Great pressure is being brought to bear
upon Senators and Representatives In
favor of the passage of the Postal Sav
ings Bank bill. Most of this pressure
comes from the Mississippi Valley,
where public opinion In favor of the pos
tal bank Is very strong. Senator Aldrich
and the other leaders of the upper branch
have already decided that the pending bill
cannot pass at this session, and it Is prob
able they will have their way.
Tho plan is to hold trfe, the postal bank
bill until the comprehensive financial
plan, the reorganization of our whole
banking and currency system which the
National Monetary Commission Is now
preparing, may be ready for the consider
ation of Congress.
This does not euit the Western or pro
gressive Republicans. They do not want
to wait, and see no reason why there
should be so much delay. They take the
view held by Judge Taft that the Republi
can party. havinr pledged Itself to the
postal savings plan, no valid argument
can be brought forward in defense of in
definite postponement of carrying out the
promise.

Officer Who Called Attention to
Defect to Be Disciplined
for Speaking.
PARIS. Dec. 2. A Toulon newspaper.
the Petit Var, has published an article
on the French navy which has caused
considerable excitement throughout the
French press. The article alleges that the
six most recent battleships have no am
munition for many of their guns; and
that, after a three hours' action not only
would the fleet be tinable to continue fir
ing but. owing to deficient reserves in the
arsenals. It would be unable to replenish
its magazines In order to renew the com
bat.
Vice-Admiral Germlnet, commander-in-
chief of the Mediterranean squadron, in
the course of a statement made to the
Journal, is reported to have stated that
"most of the ships in the squadron had
the regulation supply of ammunition for
a three-hours' action, but to have
agreed that all the necessary reserves
were not to be found In the arsenals. He
has reported sharply on the subject to the
Minister of Marine, and It Is understood
he is to be disciplined for talking too
freely.
This condition of affairs has existed for
10 or 15 years. Since the change in naval
armaments nothing has been done to
complete the reserves In the airenals.

Exchange.
Perhaps the most Interesting of the
fruit industries of the. world at the pres
ent -time is that of fig production.
Something is done in this Industry in
the warmer parts of our own country, as
in California; but Asiatic Turkey Is one
of the true centers for the culture, as
It was the original home for the produc
tion of this delicious fruit.
In that country the figs, as a rule, ripen
about the first of August. , They fall to
the ground after full maturity, are per
mitted to dry In the sun for a period of
six days, after which they are packed into
sacks weighing 250 pounds each; one such
sack constitutes a camel load.
One. remarkable aspect of fig growing
arises out of the fuct that the trees
are of different sexes, male and female,
like our boxelders, and the pistillate fruit
of the one must be fertilized by the pollen
dust from the staminate flowers of the
other before it will mature. -In the month
of June Turkish peasant women are seen
engaged in selling only male figs in little
baskets. Crawling over the figs are many
Insects, and upon one of the figs being
broken open it Is found alive with these
Insects, which begin escaping In every
dlrection. These male figs are purchased
by fig-growers in this market and hung
in bunches on the branches of female fig
trees near the growing fruit, which is
till very green in the month of June,
and about the size of a walnut. The
nseuts from the male figs rapidly col
lect on the female fig, penetrate the thick
skin and fertilize the fruit. When left
their natural state the process of
fecundation Is much slower than when
thus assisted by hanging a bunch of
male figs upon the branches of a female
tree. The fruit of the male fig tree Is
never eaten, and the moment the insects
leave it withers away and rots.
So runs the account of Consul-General
Ernest L. Harris, writing from Smyrna
to the Department of Commerce and La- ,
bor.
There are several American flg-pack-
Ing establishments in that city, and they
have done much to advance the sanitary
conditions of the industry there. Figs
are consigned to New York at from $2.-43
to over $11 per box of 124 pounds.
In transporting figs from the interior
i the Smyri.a market the greatest care
must be taken so as not to bruise the
fruit. Sacks are never packed one upon
he other. From the orchards In the. in
terior these sacks are transported two at
a time upon the backs of camels to the
nearest railway station. There are
freight cars especially built for the fruit,
with shelves one above the other, so
there is absolutely no danger of pressure
or jolting. From the Caravan Bridge
railway station at Smyrna they are
again transported by camels to the
bazars.
The Consul-General notes also the
stress of especially hard times in that
distant land of the East. Strikes have
been frequent and wages unsatisfactory.
For one week as many as 5000 packers
were idle in the city. It is certain that
this class of laborers will suffer more
this Winter than ever before, for the
simple reason that they have not earned
so much money as in former years, and
in addition to this the cost of living has
Increased fully 30 per cent.
WRECKED CARS CATCH FIRE
Work Train and Ore-Laden Freight
Meet With Terrific Impact In
- Mountain Canyon on Great
Northern Near Butte.
, GREAT FALLS, Mont., Dec. 28. As
the result of a head-on collision between
a freight train and a work train on the
Great Northern this afternoon, eight men
are dead and four injured seriously. The
wreck occurred because the freight,
which was coming north, did not stop
at Mid-Canyon siding to allow the work
train to pass; but who is to blame for
this failure has not yet been discovered.
Freight train No. 674 was heavily
loaded with ore from Butte for the Great
Falls smelter, and was coming north.
The work train was on the way from
Great Falls to a bridge over the Dear
born River, where repairing was to be
done. It consisted1 of an engine, caboose
and pile-driver. The engine was shoving
the cars ahead, with the caboose lead
ing. Curve Hides Track.
There is a curve in the track about a
mile this side of Mid-Canyon, and com
ing around that tho work train ran right
onto the freight, coming the other way.
Conductor Drake and Brakeman Eagan
were standing on the platform of the
caboose, and jumped, but the bridge car
penters in the caboose did not have that
chance. Seven of them were killed and
the other two in the car were badly
injured.
Both caboose and plledriver were
smashed to pieces, and. catching fire,
were burned. The engine on the work
train, being in the rear, remained on the
track. The engine of the freight was
thrown from the track over an embank
ment towards the Missouri River. The
engineer of the freight Jumped. The fire
man was carried over with the engine,
hut marvelously escaped, and crawled out
through the cab window of the engine
after It had stopped rolling.

the engine, was killed. A number of

fodel Dairy In Roilerdatn Turns
Out a Remarkably Clean Article
Chicago News.
The Hague. Holland At first consider
ation the reduction of bacteria to KW0 in
one cubic centimeter (.061 cubic inch) of
milk does not seem a very grand achieve
ment for a model dairy that has cost up
ward of lOO.OOt) florins to erect. But
when we know that the average for
good "clean" milk Is more than 1.000.000
bacteria per cubic centlmetmer. the mat
ter appears In another light. These bill
liant results In reducing the quantity of
bacteria are being obtained in the newlv-
built model dairy near Rotterdam, which
in the estimation of experts, far sur
passes even the splendid dairy at Oud-
Bassum. which, until recently, waa con
sidcred the best of its kind and which
gained a gold medal and International
renown at the Milan exhibition two years
ago.
Neither boiling nor sterilization is re
sorted" to, because those processes render
the milk less digestible, according to the
recent medical verdict. Only the ex
treme cleanliness and care with which
the cows, the milk and the dairymen
themselves are treated is the cause of
the superior quality of the milk. Before
any cow is admitted to the model stable
it Is, kept under careful observation for
ten days and then thoroughly washed
before being Introduced to its future
companions. The modl stable Is a spa
clous, light, well-ventilated place, with
floors of extra hardened mortar, without
seams of any kind in which dust can
collect. The milking takes place in a
separate hall or stable. Before being al
lowed to enter the milking place each
cow Is carefully cleaned in a kind of
ante-room, where it is thoroughly washed
and sprayed with warm water, special
attention being given ta the udders, and
then dried with a clean towel. The dress
of the milkers has to be spotlessly clean
and they have to wash their hands before
beginning the milking. These milkers
are all subjected to a severe medical ex
amination before being engaged by the
dairy and no one that Is not absolutely
healthy is admitted1 as a dairyman.
Afterward the milk is weighed and
turned Into the cooler or refrigerating
machine, where it Is cooled down to one
desree above freezing point, ft is during
this process that ordinary milk accumu
lates and breeds most bacteria, so It can
easily bo understood that In the appar
