discovered the fin- when he did there
in I kIH have been it destroyed block. It
was found upon Investigation that the
Insulation had been worn away from
the electric wires where they entered
the btillillnit nnd a hole about tdx
Inches In diameter bad been hunted
through the walls, which Is about live
Inches thick. The rain blew through
the breech nnd wet the Hour, to
which fact Mr. Hcroeder probably owes
the uiulcittroyed condition of his build
ing today. The wiring In the structure
Is an old style used by the Klectrle
light company some years ago and
was not heavily Insulated.

A RUNAWAY YESTERDAY.
Yesterday morning the handsome
black teant belonging to James Bar
rett, the South Alain street grocer,
caused considerable excitement on
Alain street by making an exceedingly
lively dash down that thoroughfaie.
Tliestrcet wascrowded with pedestrians
and it Is surprlnsg that no one was
injured. Several persons had narrow
escapes from being trampled under the
hoofs ot tlie maddened animals.
The teams was standing on North
Alain street near Altken's corner and
ran from that point to the slight in
cline on Pike street, where they were
captured. The animals likely escaped
Injury, but the wagon was slightly
damaged, as was the harness. The

run away on several previous occasions.
The damage to the wagon was exceed
Inkly slight nnd before the day was

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
Ity Iiitciunl Iteincdio.
The only way to cure piles In every
form is to use a remedy like the Pyra
mid Pile Cure which Is applied directly
to the parts affected and Its wonderful
healing effects are felt on the llrst ap
plication because the medical proper
ties are rapidly absorbed by tho sen
sitive membranes of the rectum and tho
cure Is speedily made, nnd almost be
fore the patient Is nw.nre of It. every
trace of piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid
Pile Cure has been so successful. It It"
applied directly where Is Is needed and
where It will do the must Good. Not
by the roundabout wny of the stomach
nor by tho harsh, barbarous methods
of various BUixlial operations and wi
called systems.
Its advantages over all other pile
cures are these: It cures without pain,
the cure It) lasting, It contains no poh'on
and la the quickest und cheapest cure
yet found. It Is made by the Pyramid
Drug Co., of Jlnrshall, .Mich., and sold
by all druggists at' one dollar per pack-ago

RAILWAY TO THE SUN.
All the Oold in the Sea Would More
Than Rulld One.
From tho 'iit-Hlts.
It Is little realized that the sea Is
n treasure house of gold, so Incredibly
rich as to far exceed the wildest
dreams even of ti mad millionaire.
Although in every thirteen tons It
only holds one grain of pure cold, its
bulk is so vast that Ifs 400.000.000 cubic
miles of waler hold In solution gold
of tlie value ot JC!.02.-i,000.000,000,000.
If this gold could be rescued and dis
tributed equally among all the Inhabi
tants of tlie earth, each man, woman
and child living would have a fortune
of J.'(!S3.333, or roughly 5U tons of sov
ereigns, nnd would enjoy the comfor
table living Income of 625 a week, or
more than the annual Income of five
cabinet ministers ot the iirst class.
I-et us coin In fancy tho sea's gold,
nnd pile our mvrlnds of sovereigns
Into one stupendous column. Our
tower of gold, standing on a base n
ttitarter of a mile each way, would
soar Into the clouds to n height of 11,
!2S feet, or f)04 feet lower than the
summit of Mont Blanc. To demolish
and cart itwny our tower of sovereigns
we should require the services of 3 2-'i
horses for every man, woman and
child In the world.
If we make a cirpct of our marine
sovereigns w should have more than
sufficient to cover an area 1,000 miles
long nnd is;; miles wide; in fact, to
"plate" with sovereigns the whole ot
Oteat Ilrltaln and Ireland, Holland
Belgium and Portugal, with a rem
nant of over 0,000 square miles of sold
to spare.
With our golden treasure we could
make a girdle around the equator
nearly eight miles In width, or ns
wide as from tho Thames to Edmon
ton, or southward, to the outskirts of
Croydon.
Similarly we could construct a road
way to the moon 364 yards wide, along
which ir0 carriages might bo driven
abreast In comfort.
We could make a railway track of
gold to bridge the 91,725,000 miles which
divide us from the sun. Our golden
track would be ll'.i feit wide; and if In
1724, when George I. hnd still three
;-ears to r"lgn, an engine had started on
its long journey from earth to sun.
and had raced nisht and day over Its
yellow track at the rate of sixty miles
an hour, It would only reach its destin
ation as these lines are being printed.
At a final flight of astronomical fancy
let us construct two rails of sovereigns,
each 2 1-2 Inches wide, and on this
track let us take a Journey to Neptune,
2,755,000,000 miles away.
We should have quite sufficient sov
ereigns lor his purpose; but, Journey
ing night and day at rixty miles an
hour, it would take us 5,242 years to
reach Neptune, by which time It would
be too late to think of the return jour
ney. To have completed our journey to
day, we ought to have started nearly
1,000 years before the Deluge, accord
ing to recognized chronology. We
should in this wny have escaped the
Hood, at any rate.
With our treasure of the sea we
could buy the United Kingdom, with
its land, houses, and nil Its accumu
lated wealth of every kind, 82,000 times
over; and we could furnish our na
tional revenue for the next S.000,000
years, allowing for reasonable growth;
In feet, a single minute's Income from
our treasure, If carefully Invested,
would be sufficient to meet our en
tire national expenditure for a year.
All the gold current today through
out the world, If collected together,
would only represent 1-5,602 of-a penny
of each of our mrlnd of sea sover
eigns, and If the same amount of gold
could be produced by our mints every
year It would take them l,35S,fliO years
to mint a pile as large ns ours.
