Cyclone Phenomena.
Neto York Herald.


DR.. Andres, of the WnAelmshaven Oh
serVatory, has recently reyivedIn an Aus
trlan meteorological journal the theory of
cyclones which refers their origin and trans
lation to the upper atmospheric currents.
This important deduction, though not ori-
ginal with III. Faye, of France, was forciblv
put forth by the latter scientist in 1877.
VINO, In presenting DR.. Audries' views to
the Paris Academy Of Sciences, on the I4th
ultimo, strongly sustsins the formers CON
clusions. These are, in brief, that cyclones,
tornad0es and tTombes are the same
mechanical phenomena, differing only in
dimensions, and that the force To
which they are indebted for their propapa-
tion resides In the powerful currents which
hold sway above the earth. In sustaining
these views NJ. Faye argues from the re-
cords Of American storms and torpadoes.

learned that storms are not generated here
or there; that they come to US from America

The origin Of cyclones is q confessed

students. But II the suggestions which this
scientist and Andres make lead meteorolo-
gists to practical study OF the cloud phe-

strata, they would be Ia position to give
much more timely and accurate storm warn
ings and weather forecasts than are row
possible. We live In the very bottom of the
oeTial ocean, bus In order to know the lower
air currents which affect us it is as peces-
sarY to trace and track the upper currents as
it is to gauge the Gulf stream in order to
study the force and movement OF the polar
stream which underruns it on the aocr OF
the Atlantic.

A Too Modest Young Man


Mr.. Benjamin Fl. Hill, Jr., son Of the late
Senator OF Georgia, is evidently too modest
young man ever to be of any use In this
workaday world. Il having been reported
that he was about to be appointed by Gov
ernor Colquitt to fill the unexpired term of
his dead father In the United States Senate,
the young man wrote a note promptly de-
clining the intended honor. This was In it.
self SO unusual procedure as to lead to
grave doubts In the minds OF most practi-
cal people as to whether the young man
was quite right in his head. But that
doubt becomes almost q certainty when
his reasons for sLch an astonishing course
are given. or course he might have been
employed IN more lucrative business which
he could not afford to neglect for the sum OF
5000 year and the title OF honorable be-
fore his patronymic, or he might have been
in such III health as to dread to face the
malarial atmosphere at Washington. But
neither OF these reasons are offered, and this
innocent young man declines the office be-
cause he don't think be is capable of per-
forming its duties properly. Such modesty
is simply amazing, and can only lead to the
inference that he has greatly mistaken the
duties of United States Senator, or that he
is very inferior young man indeed.
The qualifications demanded for the DO
sition In modern times are few and simple.
II Mr.. Hill is of the legal age and a citizen
and possessed of mental acumen sufficient to
discern who his friends are and rejoices In
the possession of bank account, the require
ments,are all met. He could keep secretary
to write the speeches with which he is ex-
pected to electrify his constituents, his
party caucus Will decide for him how he is
to vote on any given question, and his
friends will undertake to advise him who
ought to be recommended for appointment
to office: AS to knowing anything about
public affairs or having practical experience
In public life, Mr.. Hill is respectfully in
formed that such old-fashioned require
ments are not demanded nowadays at all.
Ii Mr.. HUI had read the recent political
history OF Pennsylvania he would have been
furnished with a shining example of
young man whose father had tired of Sena-
torial honors, and who, without days ex-
periencs in public life, felt equal to the task
OF distributing the post offices and collector
ships where they would do the most good.
That extremely modest young man has so
improved by practice and experience that
he now feels entirely competent to elect
Speakers for the lower House of Congress.
choose Presidents and parcel out the post
offices for the whole nation, and vet when
he was elected his only known qualifications
were age and citizenship. We call Mr..
Hill's attention to this example for his en-
couragement, because We fear that II he
persists Ia his old-fashioned notions he ia
liable to get himself laughed at for his ex-
eme VerdancY.

A CRASH In A TUNNEL.
A COLLISION IN NEW YORK
CITY.
A Crowded Passenger Train TelescOped
Several Persons Injured, Some Fa-
tally.

NEW YORK. September % This morning
word was re, :eived at police headquarters
from an up WA precinct that aD accident
had occurred At $50 O'Clock on the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad in
the tunnel at Els s:hty-sixth street and Fourth
avenue. A later telegram to police
headquarters conveyed the information that
the o'clock Harlem Rapid Transit
train had telescoped the Harlem train In the
tunnel at Eighty-s1xth street, that five IN
jured persons had been sent to the hospital
and that number of people were vet under
the train. The police OF the Nineteenth
sub-precinet at the Grand Central depot
were notified, and all the hospitals were
instructed to send ambulances to the depot
for the injured,
The only person killed outright was
Madame Eue enie Aubert, a teacher of
French in the Twelfth Street Public School.
Harold Meik was taken out of the wreck
with his sku II crushed, and will die. The
accident was the result of gross cerelessness.
O1e OF the tracks was blocked up by the
accident by an engine, and this caused delay
to other u aims In switching across tracks
to get around the blockade.
While one crowded train with passengers
was thu waiting on the main track IN the
tunnel another train came behind and tele-
scoped it. Many of the injured were hur-
ried away by friends, and it will be diff
cult TO secure tonight correct
list OF casualties. 1t is probs-
bio that others of the injured
will die The great majority of the passen-
gers in the Harlem train we're school girls
and teacl lers on their way to the Normal
College, and 1t was some time before all
anxiety concerning them was relieved.
They were sent back to their homes. In
their terror most of them sprsng from the
train as 500 as they were able and were
found wandering about in the thick dark
ness and mud OF the tunnel.
VIM. Howe. OF Mount Vernon, victim
OF the disaste r, died this afternoon at the
Grand Union Hotel.

A Terrible Death.


Cttfb HTuHCtSCO EsCCfuWQSf Oept. IL
A railroad accident on the South Pacific
Coast Line last night was the cause of two
deaths, one of which was as terrible as ever
recorded. The through freight train from
Santa Cruz, which arrived at Park street,
Alameda, at eight, was crossing q barren
marshy land east OF a trestie bridge that
crosses what is known as San Leandro Bay,
snd when at point about half mile from
the bridge the engine sunk and keeled over,
drawing after It six cars. AS the train was
travelling at q rapid rate OF speed, the cars
aud engine were piled upon each other.
The engineer CT the train, man named
Symops, was thrown from the engine cab q
distance OF several feet. His nose was brok-
en-, he was badly bruised and he was proba-
bly, injured internally. When the engine
turned over Daniel Dhscol, the fireman, was
caught and held to the ground by an iron
bar across his breast, while another bar held
one foot fast. Thus held, and retaining
Consciousness, he fully realized that as the
tide was rapidly rising, he could escape
death from downing bat q short time. Six
men were on hand aud laboTed to save him.
They wrapped sheets about his body and
exeried their combined strength to pull him
from his appalling position. He cried
piteously that they were killing him. They
tried again and again, but with the same
result. A levee was built about bis head to
keep down the rising tide. Buckets were
brought, and by faithful bailing IL was at
tempted to keep the water from r=sching
his head. He WAS lying under the cab,
and q hole was cut through the
cab through which he could put
his head. They raised his head above the
water as much as possible. He re-
mained thus two hours, but at last
the levee broke, ana the men who
were bailing out the water found that
they could do no more. They held his head
above the water, which rose slowly about
his body. The men found they must make
final effort. Then his head was lowered,
and they all caught hold and pulled despe-
rately. It was in vain. They raised his
head again. The water raised slowly but
surely. It reached his chin. A friend held
his hand over the drowned mans mouth.
The water rose to his ncstrils. Nothing
more could be done, ard he was drowned.
The other man killed YVES a brakeman
named Daily. He was on the fourth car,
with the other brakeman and conductor.
DAILY was instantly killed. The force with
which he was thrown broke his neck. The
conductor, Langden, had bis legs slightly
