The Luxemburs Question,


LONDON, Dee. 18-Evening. Pail Mall
Gazette of this evening, in an editorial article on
the Luxembourg question, declares 1t to be the
duty of England in this crisis to impress upon
the Prussian Government the fact that her vio-
lation of the territory of Luxemburg will not be
regarded with Indifference by Great Britain,
nor allowed 10 pass with impunity. mere de-
parture from her neutrality OH the part of Lux
emburg Is no excuse for this Prussian ag-
gressiop.
The DELAYED Bombardm ent of Paris.
LONDON, Dec. 16-Evening. despatch re-
ceived from Versailles to-day gives a new expla-
nation of the delay in opening the bombardment
of Paris by the Prussians. There is lack of
ammunition in the German army, and the roads
are so wet and heavy that none can be brought
forward at present. The same cause has pre-
vented the movement of the heavy siege guns
1t is probable that the fire will not be opened
for fortnight yet.

light. The German position has greatly i'm

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
An EnsiBe Runs ON the Track Into the Water
-One Man Drowned-DamaGe TO the News rk

Bay Draw.
As the train which left Elizabeth about 10
o'clock last evening for New York was APP
preaching the Newark bay draw, the engine ran
off the track, falling into the water, and carry
ing away part of the draw. The fireman was
drowned, but the engineer escaped with slight
bruises. The cars attached to the engine re.
mained ON the track. Arrangements have been
made for the transportation of passengers aud
freight with as little delay as possible 1t will
probably require week TO repair the draw. 1t
was fortunate that The train was running at a
very slow rate of speed at the time of the accl-
dent. III such had not been the case, the prOmpt
application of the brakes which was made
would not have prevented the cars from follow
ing the engine IN Its fearful, leap into the water
The train was running slower even than is
customary when about to cross the draw. The
accident caused no little excitement. The en-
gineer was steady and faithful man, and it is
owing TO bis presence of mind that more serious
consequences were prevented. The work of re-
pairing the draw will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.

WARM WEATHER IN THE PAST.

As some of our people think this sum-
mer has been very hot one (we among
the number) we publish the following
from the records kept at Nuremberg, Ba-
varia, to show how far the past has been
ahead of the present in the matter of ex-
treme heat:
In 1131 the earth cracked by reason of
the heat, the we'll and streams in Alsace
all dried up, and the bed of the Rhine
was dry.
In 1852 the heat was so great that sand
exposed to the suns rays was hot enough
to cook eggs.
In 1l60 great numbers of soldiers in
the campaign against Bella died from the
heat.
In 1176 and 1177 crops of hay and
oats failed completely.
In 2303 and 1904 man could have
crossed, dry shod, over the rivers Seine.
Loir, Rhine and Danube.
In 1893 aud 1894 multitude of ami
mails persisted by the heat, which was so
great that the haryests dried up.
In 1440 the heat was extraordinary.
1888, 1889, 1910 and 1911, all the
rivers were nearly dried up.
In 1886 there was great drought,
which extended over nearly the whole of
Europe.
In 1915 and 1916 there was, in Italy.
France and the Netherlands, an over
powering heat.
In 1648 there we're ffty-eight consecu-
tive days of extreme heat.
In 1878 it was very hot, as were the
first three years in the eighteenth century.
In 171S it did not rain a single time
from April until October! The growing
grain was burned, the rivers dried up,
the theatres (but wherefore it is not sta
ted) were closed by the police. The ther-
mometer showed ninety-six degrees Fab
renhcit In irrigated gardens the fruit
trees bloomed twice.
In 1923 and 1924 there was great heat,
The summer of 1746 was hot and dry 4;
the growing grain being calcined. 1t did
not rain for months.
174S, 1854, 176O, 1867, 177s and
1888 were years in which the summers
were extremely hot.
In the famous comet year 0S11) tho
summer was vey warm, and the wine pro-
duced that season was very precious.
In 1918 the theatres had to be closed
on account of the heat, the highest tenn
perature being 80 Reaumer, or liz Fab
rcnheit.
During the three days of the revolu-
ton of July, in 1880, the thermometer
stood about 36 degrees Centigrade--a-
bout 81 Fahrenheit.
In 1888, during the uprising of the 5th
and 9th of July, the temperature was a.
bout the same.
