DENVER, Col, Aug 3-Shortly before 9

Of the Denver 4 New Orleans road In the
southern part Of the city. The engineer
had checked the speed Of the train for
tho crossing, and as he started again
deafening explosion followed which shat
tered the glass in the cab and extinguished
the lights. When the startled engineer and
fireman had regained their senses from the
momentary shook they found that the en-.
CINE was on the ties. The shock caused
many Of the frightened passengers to jump
from the train, but nobody was hurt
thereby. The explosion twisted the truck

torn loose, but the explosive had been placed
near junction Of a switch with the main

from turning over. The broken wheels

Persons who read the death notices
in the newspapers from day to day must
observe that whenever the weather
grows suddenly cold the mortality
among old people greatly increases.
This occurs so often that it is hardly a
coincidence. Indeed, it seems to bear
out fully the assertion of many physi-
clans, that the secret of long life after
three-score years and ten is to keep

THE NEW EDITION OF
.Orcester'S Dictionary
Contains Thousands of Words not to
be found in any other Dictionary.

"Worcester's is, in the estimation of all
scholars, the best dictionary eXtant for gem
eral use. There is certainly no real compar-
ison possible between it and its most popular
rival. The office of dictionary is, of course,
not to make innovations, but simply to
register the best usage in spelling and pro-
nunciation. This Worcester does, and this
its rival conspicuously fails to do."-Nctc
York World.
"Years ago Worcester's Dictionary was
recognized, in England as well as in the
limited States, as the best in existence by the
very best writer's and students. 1t has n still
higher claim to this distinction in this new
edition, which makes other dictionaries
superhuous, and serves also as q cyClopsedfa;
a text book on the language; a vocabulary of
Greek, Latin, Scriptural, and modern proper
names; q collection of proverbs, phrases and
quotations of all languages, and complete
collection of English synonymes. "-Phddttet-

I There was an increase in the number Of
tenants living at 400 Third avenue. Up
TO five o'clock on Tuesday morning there
were only 20 persons in the house, all Of
them asleep at that hour. Mrs, Anna
yiering gave birth to q little stranger, SO
little that oven Tie smallest sunbeam that
crept through the half.closed shutters was
larger than the newcomer. Twas q girl,
and, as weighed by the attending physic
ian by the old.iashioned scales, pulled
down Just eight ounces. II was scarcely
81 inches leng from the crown OF the head
TO its feet, fully developed. II cried lust
ily, inst as a much larger baby would. :
Mrs. Yiering Is the mother Of four we'll
developed children, the eldest being q
stout lad 10 years old, who wetks|as q
plumber's helper. There il nothing IN.
usual about tie other children, who are
Of the ordinary see.
The eight.ounce baby Is an exact .coun;
terpart OF an ordinary child. When born
| itsalittlc head measured ] inches from
forehead TO back, but 1t gradually SWELL
ed out until 1t assumed the size OF a 10!
cent ball. Hairnot less than an inch long
covered the scalp, and stray wisp hung
down oyer the ear, which was perfectly
formed. 1t was almost too small TO be
measured.
Such a chubby little face, with spark
ling pea.like eyes, was probably never
seen. The mouth looked like q stretched
buttonholc in o lady's glove, and the nose
was the size Of small china doll The
rest OF the body was round aud chubby,
with soft, velvoty muscles. The arms
and legs were perfect, the little fingers
and toes were equipped with nails and, as
the doctor put 1t, the baby had everything
but teeth. The foot measured three
Quarters Of an inch from the tip Of the
great toe to the heel. A sheet Of letter
paper would have covered it completely,
and bed In an ordinary cigar box would
have been almost too big. 3.
The doctor carefully wrappeditap in q
pad Of wadding and instructed the nurse
to place hot water bsg at each side; A
bottle OF sweetened water and barley Juice
was prepared, and the little one took q
perceptible quantity OF nourishment.
When the doctor left tho house both
mother and child were doing nicely.
The strange case was reported at the
Bureau Of Vital Statistics slate in tho even.
ing, and DIR. Sagle and his staf Of physi.
cisns visited the littleene. She was alive
andiwell. During the excitement attend.
ing the presence Of such an august body
OF medical gentlemen the nurse forgot to
renew the warm water and for over
twenty hours the baby lay tits wadling
sheath. The absence OF tie artificial
warmth produced cllill. Itgrew weaker
and weaker and at II o'clock yesterday
morning, after living exactly thirty honre,
the baby died, as DR.. Roth says, through
the negligence Of the nurse.
Medical literature contains no record Of
a parallel case.
