Dl Ll'Tii. Minn., Sept. 3. So fur as
heard from, the forest fires which have
shut Duluth out of communication with
the outside world for over 24 hours,
both by wire and rail, have almost com
pletely wiped out six towns: Hinckley,
Minn., population 1200; Sandstone, 15
miles north of the Eastern road; (Juarry
town, population 1000; Partridge and
Mansfield, small stations farther north,
near the Wisconsin border, population
300 each; ShtU Lake and Baronette,

wia.f popumiion uuu cueu, ooin mmucr
towns. Besides these, Bayfield and Wash
burn, Wis., on Lake Superior, from
which nothing can be beard, have prob
ably suffered considerably, as well as
numerous little settlements all through
the northern parts ol Wisconsin.
Special correspondents investigating
the result of the fire in towns burned on
the St. Paul and Duluth road counted
112 dead bodies. There are 217 dead at
Hinckley, 17 at Sandstone, 22 at Pine
City, 56 between Sandstone and Miller
with the interior yet to hear Ironi.
MakouetTE, Mich., Sept. 3. Railroad
officials here say the worst is over from
forest fires along the line of the Duluth
Southshore and Atlantic. They are al
ready pushing the work of reconstruc
tion of track and bridges burned. The
wires beyond Ncstoria are again broken

of affairs this morning can be obtained
Hinckley, Minn., Sept. a A gentle
ram is tailing today and quenching the
burning embers ot the immense forest fire
that did so much damage in this city
Saturday ulteruoon and night. The
blackened ruins of two or three brick
buildings is ull that remains standing ol
the once prosperous town of Hinckley
with its 1700 people and its busy rail
rotid and lumliering interest.
Cllli'l'KWA r ALLS, Wis., Sept. 3. The
heaviest loser by the lores", fires in this
citv is Cornell University of New York
which had nearly Sl.000,000 invested
in pine lands located chiefly nround Long
Lake, 30 miles from this city. Their
lands have completely been divested ol
the pine.

THE IUZY ATMOSPHERE.
The nark And Yellow Ways Ol
The Paul.
Washington, Sept. 3. The peculiar
haze that has been noticeable in the sky
all over the country for the last week or
so, lias been a matter of great interest
to meteorologists, and many experi
ments have been going on to determine
its cause tmd nature.
I'rot. Henry A. liazen says: 1 Ins is
what may be culled the Indiun summer
dry haze. Just what is the cause of it, it
is a little difficult to determine. Similar
conditions have been noticed in the past,
notably on the dark day in 1781.
which was due to a condensed condition
of the atmosphere, probably caused by
moke. In 1SS1 there was anothei
dark day known as "yellow day"
which extended from New England
to Virginia on the Atlantic coast.
The murky atmosphere has tern noticed
wetc 01 uie luississium, uui is 01 11 uuier-
cnt character from that of the eastward,
as that is much lighter. It wns proba
bly caused every year by a settlement ol
dust or smoke particles. The air is gen
erally tm nnd there is no condition
wnieh would precipitate the particles
causing the haze or carry them to other
regions."
