Ill IRE IN A RAGE Another Crime Charged te Rat The rat, already perhaps tlie most unpopular of all living creatures, earns fresh odium from tie ls ery that It may be responsible for the spread of cancer. Of the rata brought from a certain sugar refinery to the laboratory of Professor Flblger, of Co penhagen, many were found to havf cancer of the stomach, and lavestlgs tlon has tended to show that this re sulted , from eating tho ceckromctes with which the refinery Is Infested. A nematode worm was discovered as a parasite of the cockroaches, the fe male being one and one-half to two Inches long and one-two-hundred ana fiftieth Inch In diameter, while -the male Is only half ns large. A number of rats fed on theso cockronciies nnu on the eggs of the parasite developed Inflammations nnd cancer of the stom nch. Of rats fed on the eggs.

VioJcnco'of Typhoon Is Beyond Belief. Almost Writer Vividly Deccrlbes Scene When Great Vindetorm Wrought Havoc In Harbor of Hong Kong Boats Piled on Shore. "I bad been anxious to see a typhoon," cays Kdwln Turrlsse, who has bpent some years In tho East, "and I had my wish gratified in Hong Koug more thun once. Tho strength of the wind at such times Is greater than one would have thought possible. It whirls ships helplessly adrift from the firm est moorings and with sudden blast takes away the corners of houses and sends projecting verandas flying across the street "During the night of one gale the residents for the most part shut them selves closely In their houses, careful ly securing their doors and windows, and so remained with constant appre htnslon and dread lest the dwelling should be swept away and themselves be entombed in the ruins. "Once, while the storm wns at Its worst, 1 ventured down to the I'rnya to sei the crowd of Chinese boats that hi:.l been blown inshore nnd idled up In a mass of wreckuge Just below the city, The sky was of dark leaden eclor, and the wind caught up the crested waves and went them In long, white streaks of vapor across the scene, through which the dismantled ships were dimly descried drifting frtm their moorings. "The heavy, stone-faced wall of the I'rnya hnd given way, and tho great gfanlte blocks hnd been washed In upon tho road. Half-blinded lay the waves ns they leaped over the road nnd dashed In angry foam against the houses, and buffeted by the wind, I made slow headway to the east end of the settlement, where a number of foreigners were attempting to rescue two women from a small Chinese boat "We had to cling to the lamp posts and stanchions and seek shelter ngalnst the doorways nnd walls. Ad vantage wns taken of a slight lull In the storm to fire off rockets, but these were driven bnclt Kke feathers against the houses. . Then, long Ufebonts were dragged to the pier, but tbo first was broken and disabled the moment it touched the water, while the second met a like fate and its gallant crew were pitched out Into the boo, "In short, every effort proved abor tive, and as darkness set in the un happy women and their boat were re Ictantly abandoned to their fate. -Next morning, the whole length of the Praya presented a scene of wreck age and desolation. Many of the Chi nese, notwithstanding their shrewd ness In predicting storms, had been taken Quite unawares and hence the fearful sacrifice ef life and the loss of property which ensued." Where Old Jewelry Goes. Tie United States assay, office at New Tork has recently received much gold and silver in queer articles for conversion to bullion or coin. The charges for converting gold nnd -,i uoc timn those made by any private company, which circumstance brings to the assay office dealers In precious metals, pawnbrokers. Jewel ers, gold nnd silver producers and the banks. It Is no unusual sight to see a denier bring In a lot of Jewelry made up of a gold mesh bag. brooches, scarf pins nnd rings.

C. Paulus, sales manager of the Oregon Growers Cooperative associ ation as follows: In review of the downward revision of all commodities, the Oregon Grow ers had named a price on prunes at which it was thought the crop would move, and on a basis where it was probable there would be a slight advance. ( The association's price was named with the knowledge that it is always better to sell on a rising market, as this insures acceptance of contracts, rather than on a falling market which often brings rejections and cancella tions. The two declines in prune prices BLEND SjA 1 early in the season of half a cent each alarmed buyers. Then another decline of from one to two cents rather confirmed foreign and eastern buyers in their opinion that the bot tom had not been reached. At present buying interest is very low, although sales representatives of the Oregon Growers report in creasing scarcity of stock in the market and Dredict better conditions.
