MALICIOUS BUSINESS.
Enemies OF the Railroad Attempt to
Wreck its Trains,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 2o,-It is now be-
lieved that the wreck on tho Wabash West
ern last night was the work of parties who
have some grudge against the road, and that
1t was intended for Burlington train The
special train of Supt MCGEE, of the Wabash
Western, returning from the wreck today,
came very near sharing like fate. The
train was being backed in, run ming about
fifteen miles an hour. At Huntleys cross
ing, near this city, the train struck an OBJ
struction and the occupants of the car
received severe shaking up. The train was
stopped, run back and an investigation
showed that heavy beam twelve inches
square and ten feet long had been pricd into
a cattle guard and braced against the ground
pointing west. The timber had struck the
brake beams between the forward trucks and
caboose, then the axle of the trucks, and
would have derailed and wrecked the train
but for the fact that the trestle work Of the
cattle guard gave way. A searching investi-
paton will be made

A SCIENTIFIC FACT.
An Instructive talk About OH. water
and Air.

An Instructive Talk About OIL, water
and Air.
II is a curious fact that ifa drop of oil
is put on a highly polished marble table.
or a large plate glass that lies horizon
tally, the drop remains inplace, spread
ing very little; but when put on water
it spreads instantly many feet around,
becoming so thin as to produce the pris-
matte colors for a considerables space,
and beyond them so much thinner as
to be invisible. It would appear that a
natural repulsion takes place as soon as it
touches the water, arepulsion so strong
as to act upon other bodies swimming
on the surface, as straw, leaves, chips,
ETC., forcing them to recede every way
from the drop, as from center, leav-
ing large, clear area. There seems,
however, to be no repulsion between
water and air to keep them from COM
ing in contact with each other. Air in
motion or wind in passing over the
smooth surface of water may rub it, as
1t were, upon the surface and
rise it in wrinkles, which, If the
wind continues, are the elements of fu-
ture waves. II there be mutual re-
pulsion between the particles Of oil,
and no attraction between oil and wa
ter, oil dropped on water viii not be
held together-it will be at liberty to
expand itself. The wind blowing over
the water thus covered by film Of oil
can not easily catch upon it SO as to
raises the first wrinkles, but slides over
it and leaves It smooth; it moves the
oil little, which, being between it and
the water, seems to slide with and pre-.
vent friction. When the wind blows
fresh there are continually rising or
the back of every great wave a number
of smaller ones, which roughen it:
surface and give the wind hold, as il
were, to push it with greater force; this
hold is diminished by preventing the
production of these smaller waves, an6
possibly, too, when waves surface is
oiled, the wind in passing over it may
rather in some degree press it down
and contribute to prevent its rising
again, instead Of promoting it.-M Z

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

-Be OF good cheer about death, and

happen to a good man, either in life or
after death. Socrates.

schools for girls and 1924 for boys
The first named are conducted by fe-

There is no talent so pernicious as
eloquence to those who have it not un-

literally gifted by nature in this partic-
ular, ought to study the rules OF female
tory.-AddisOe.
AT one of the colored schools in the

"Seek the good of other men, says
Lord Bacon, "but be not in bondage to
their faces or fancies."

tion and much learning met together.

long shadows, and at midday, when he
is higl est, none at all.-HaH.
Wit loses its respect with the good
when seen in company with malice,
and to smile at the jest which plants a
thorn ia another's breast is to become
a principal in the mischief Sheridan.

how little comfort and pleasure and
how few real friends money will bring

BIG NATIONAL DEBTS.

Up the Rear.


France Leads the List and Hungary Brings
Up the Rear.
If q national debt is a national bless
ing, France is the most blessed country
on earth. The last computation of the
French debt places it at 1902, 800, 900,
to which must be added $432, 1000 in
life annuities which will expire with the
lives of their owners. The funded debt
is composed of $1,000, 100000 of per-
petual 8 per cents, $1,S57, 100000 of
perpetual IL per cents. and $967,-
906, 200 of redeemable bonds. The float
ing debt is about $500, 100000, and the
balance is made up of annuities to COM
panies and corporations. The annual
charge for interest, annuities and sink
ing fund is $258, 167, ,0S3
OF the other European nations the
debt of Russia is the greatest, amount
ing to So, 1905, 100000. But Russia has a
population of 8O,0OO,O 900, while France
has but little more than so, 900, 900. The
per capita debt of Russia is less than
$50, while that of France is nearly 5000.
The English debt is next in gross
amount, being 1866, 100000. Italy
owes 81, 226, 100000; Austria, 1857
500, 900; Spain, $1,2oS, 400, 600; Prussia,
1862, 800, 900, and Hungary, s6S5, ,600,-

England and Prussia have permanent
revenue sufficiently large to guarantee
interest and sinking fund charges from

HOW BERLIN GROWS.
Its Libraries. Museums, Palaces and Il
Great University.


Its Libraries, Museums, Palaces and It's
Great University.
Under the heading Of New Berlin
many interesting particulars of the pro-
gress of the Prussian capital since 1871
have been gathered together by Prof
Paloezy. There are now, it seems.
twenty-five public libraries in Berlin.
with more than one hundred thousand
volumes. Vienna's twenty-nine public
squares are compared with fifty-eight
possessed by Berlin. Though Vienna
has its Prater and Paris its Bois de
Boulogne, Berlin surpasses both in its
Gruenwald with its immense extent, its
hills and wales, its woods and lakes
villas and hunting lodges. The north
ern limit now lies close to the houses Of
Charlottenburg, the largest suburb.
Berlin expends yearly more than l0.-
600, 900 marks on the poor, and medi-
cants on the streets are unknown.
The citizens take pride in serving their
city without reward. More than
twelve thousand of them are now thus
working for the town, while the num-
Der of paid officers is comparatively
insignificant. More than half Of the
thirty-one magistrates who carry on
the direction of affairs in the RED
House" have no salary, though their
Office is no sinecure. This unselfsh
devotion to the general well-being is
the sure guarantee for the further de-
velopment Of the city. Il is only four
years ago that the Prussian Landtag
voted 1900, 600 marks for the increase
of the royal museums of Berlin. Sew
eral millions Of marks have been re-
Gently voted for deepening the bed Of
the Spree and for the improvements of
the Upper Spree canal, which viii
greatly facilitate the trade Of tho city.
The city railway costs enormous sums.
The Ministerial palaces, though simple
in style, have luxurious and commodi-
GUS interiors. -Four monumental post-
Offices and the magnificent Polytechnic
at the west end of the Thiergarden are
the boast Of the city. The new palace
Of the Reichstag in the K0nigsplats is
rising from its foundations, and in less
than three years it win probably be the
greatest ornament Of the city. A strik-
ing illustration Of the eprogressof Berlin
is the almost unexampled increase Of
the students in the University, who
numbered in 1887 no less than 6.888.
At this moment the University Of Berlin
is the most frequented in the world;
that Of Vienna comes next The num-
