ATTEMPT 10 DESTROY Az ExPREss Train
A fendlsh attempt to destroy the lightning
express train from Rochester to Buffalo on
the night Of the 2lst. was barely frustrated.
The engineer, Mr.. Burr Stone, discovered
the obstruction by means Of the reflector,
when but about twenty yards ahead. An
instantaneous reversal Of his engine and the
application Of all the braking power at COM
mand, checked the speed 50 much that
though the engine struck the obstacle, it was
not thrown of An examination showed
that large piles Of ties had been placed across
the track by some fend or fends, with the
horrid design Of overwhelming the train and
all it, living freight with instantaneous de-
structon. 4 shudder Of orror came over
the Engineer and all on board the train,
when they saw how narrow he'd been their
escape from instant destruction.

Cambridge. The problem was solved in
very simple manner. MIR. Whipple took
view of the moon when it was nearly full in
February and his companion picture when
the moon had attained exactly the same age
IN April. The change in the declination OF
the moon. between the two periods, gave
views of points on the moon 8 surface Sufhcl-
entity distant to afford the stereoscopic effect.
The result is picture which represents the
moon as q spherical body and shows the
mountains and valleys upon its surface, Civ
ing in fact its geography as revealed by the
best telescopes We see the moon not as it
appears to thssnakedaeye, round fiat body
OF light, but as q sphere marked by the lights
and shades Of its towering mountains. deep
valleys and profound gulfs. 1t is more
perfect view of our satellite than can be
attained by the eye even when aided by the
most powerful telescope, for it demonstrates
it's roiundity, which it is impossible to de-
termine by The sense Of sight alone We
look upon this achievement OF Mr.. Whipple
as one of the most interesting triumphs Of
photography.
