William Hay, 45-year-old white man, lost his life in the fire which destroyed the lurge plant of the Dorchester Lumber company, at Badhum, yesterday afternoon. Ah soon as the flames were under control it was discovered that Huy was missing, When last, seen, he was heroically fighting the flames.

Hay, it is understood, was originally from North Carolina, 'but efforts to locate his home or relatives were without success. He had been employed a~ a ntaehinist at Hadham for little nip re than a'year. _ India absorbed half of the world's output of gold last year.

Upon the .top of a hidden sea mountain?said to be i5,000 feet high millions upon millions of tiny sea ciuatuics erected a mass of c/>ral through long aeons past. Up through the waves they built this group of large and small islands lying close together -so close in some cases that man has built causeways to connect t hern -and on up until the coral formation rises several hundred feet above sea level. Just who put Bermuda on the mup is not known. An old Spanish map of 1510 shows them and a Spanish historian gives an account of them in a chronicle of the voyages of Juan do Bermudez in 1515, It seems Jikely that Bermudez hud some previous knowledge of their existence and named them for himself.

Only one other city in the world ^urpusise* that and by not much of a margin. Old I/oiuJon, city of a thousand year* and more and one who** way* are curlI ouxly different from those of New York, in the only near rival. And in both citic* the same tongue i* spoken. In the four American cities of New York, .Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit dwell no less than 12,270,000 people, <>r a fourth more than sua-, taincd the Confederacy in its four years' war. It would take all the i people in five or six Southern states entire to match that^ aggregate of population. I Yet there appears to be no assignt able limit, Six, seven, eight millions I it may become. The stupendous un1 dertaking implied in feeding such a muss of population, providing milk, water, heat, perishable supplies of all kinds and interurban transportation continues to be successfully carried out somehow, ,so rapid is maifhi advance in technical power over every sort of mechanical difficulty. Moving the crowds does seem to be almost too much for New York, especially at certain hours of the day, yet there is serene confidence that this as well as all other problems will be solved as they arise. Nevertheless, human nature was not meant for continuous life in such an environment. Men and women and children are all too completely unclosed in a' man-made, artificial environment and are deprived too thoroughly of what the- psalmist found "in green pastures and still waters." Multitudes miss something and scarcely know what it is. The tired and fretted spirit hurrids hither and thither from one commercial amusement to another, grows surfeited with such, and cannot escape from the vast, noisy cage. New York, Chicago and the like { I are wonderful phenomena to visit as j sightseers, but not good for permanent; in-dwelling on any income too small to provide frequent escape to. the great free spaces beyond.?Spartanburg Herald. Heavy Man Dead Los Angeles, May 28.?An order for a coffin four times 'the average size marked the first step today in preparation for the funeral of Theodore Yalenzuela, known in side shows as Toni Tom. Yalenzuela died yesterday, He weighed IMS pounds, and of -this weight more than 100 pounds were gal fled during the last month of his life. Despite, the protests of Valenzuela's family against an autopsy, the coroner has indicated that he will order a post-mortem examination. To prevent its destruction by moths I'aganini's famous violin has been removed from the glass case in which it has been kept since his death in 1810, and is to be used more frequently.
