A Fatal Railroad Accident.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. %. This
morning Knoxville and Ohio rail-
road engine broke loose from south
bound freight train. The engineer
ran his train to Carryville, the near
est station, and waited on the side
track for the train to overtake him.
After waiting some time he started
back, and met the train coming down
grade at a fearful speed. He was un-
able to reverse his engine and get
out of the way. A collision occurred,
throwing three or four cars from the
track. The engineers thigh was
broken, and he received internal in
juries. The fireman was frightfully
scaIded. His right leg was crushed,
and he received other injuries which
will prove fatal. The conductor was
doubled around telegraph pole, and
is probably fatally injured. One
brakeman was slightly hurt.

The Locomotive Of To-day.

The locomotive of to-day Is cian.
hy the side nf tha i,,sesis~si-.- - 1855
The New York Central express engine
is very Anak. Its weight is $4,000
pounds, or nearly two and half times
heavier than its Shove mentioned pro
totvpe. The cylinders are 10 inches
by "a. The average man $ head Is tar
below the top of the driving whcels.
which b arc 75 inches IN diameter. In
1854 a Now York express passenger To-
comotivc travelled 25 900 miles in o
year; last year the average mileage per
engine stood between 20. 900 ana 5000
miles. A locomotive tor express passen-
ger service costs, taking the expert
once OF the past few years, from IS, S,5oo
to $1,000 10 build. In comparing the
locomotives of to-day and n quarter Of
century ago. you will notice that
while the weight Of the whole machine
has increased greatly, certain OF the
dimensions have not altered much.
This is because we are limited In yari-
Gus wavs in constructing q locomotive.
We can not make the body Of the on.
CINE over certain width, because OF
the gauge of the track; not over cer-
tain hight, because we must keep tho
center Of gravity at about the same po-
sition; not over certain length, oe-
cause of the wheel centcrs. So the To-
como,iye must always remain nearly

Natural Ice Reservoir.

In many countries ice is obtained
from natural ice houses, wherein, while
TIE ordinary temperature outside is 50
degrees, ice Is still forming. Such q
rsv.ne or cavern has been found in
New Jersey. and near Lincoln, VT.
there is glen in which snow and ice
lie all the year round. One Of the
m ost remarkable Of these ice caverns 10
that OF Dobschan, in Hungary. It IL
quite near the town. and is approached
through a narrow winding limestone
valley called ''Stracenaer Thai" 1t 10
IN the interior of mountain, having =
general direction east and west. The
entrance is near the top, and extreme.
ly narrow, and was only discovered BY
accident. Once inside, o remarkaple
scene is beheld, the ice. which ssennsI
formed IN many layers, having 1ssuu

face in the cave alone occupy about
81. 900 square feet.
The cave is divided into two parts,
upper and lower. In the upper part
the roof is of limestone and the floor of
solid ice, and it is divided into two
great halls of wondrous beauty. The
roof of tie largest hall is supported by
three enormous pillars OF clear ice. one
of which is hollow, and through which
flows u stream from above, producing
strange echoes and reverberations.
All about are fantastic forms of ice re-
sembling human beings. pulpits, mon
uments, and SO on, giving TO the cave
most grotesque appearance. In one
end the ice forms an pxact representa-
ton OF large cascade, as If rushing
stream with ns spray had suddenly
been frozen solid. Descending to the
lower room. the passage is 600 feet in
length, and by following down through
the ice you come to the natural outlet
OF the water.
In all countries such caves have
been found. So extensive is the ice
cavern on the Peak of Teneriffe that 1t
affords a permanent source of supply,
and even vessels are loaded with its
ice This ice is coiumnar in shape,
and does not melt easily, and SO can be
transported without great loss. Near
the village OF SLeiitZe, in the Carpa-
thiau Mountains, there is one of the
largest ice caverns in the world, and,
curiously enough. it freezes in the sum-
mer and me.is IN the winter. For in-
stance, in m.dsup'mer the root is en-
tirely covered W In lciclcs, nut in win

time the cav IN is dry and warm COM

In some deep mines ice forms a. cer-
tain periods. Tins is the ease in some
OF the sal, mines n tine Ural Mounta MS
Great cavities are formed in the gyp-
sum, and in the winter they arc flied
with clear water. but in the summer
they are frozen sold.

In this State there are several ice
wells, ana an ice cave has been found
