History OF a Locomotive.

There lately entered the Grand Central
depot the other day locomotive with a
tragic history. 1t was the locomotive
which drew a train to the first frightful
railroad accident that ever occurred. Up
to 1913, while there had been some catas-
trophies ON the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew part of !;
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at NOrwalk and caused great loss
Of life. The accident was the sensation
of the year. The engine was fished out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since
\ singular circumstance connected with
this accident is that it indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused it. He fled and settled in
western Pennsylvania, and was the vic
tim for many years of remorseful reflec-
tionS on his carelessress. But it was this
man who first dug an oil we'll in what is
now the oil region and developed this
colossal industry.-New York Evening

How the Ancients GamhIed.

L.anciani forwards to the Athenaum an
account of the gambling tools found in a
tomb near Perugia, Italy. Glass spheres
of various colors, $40 small hemispheres
of glass in blue, yellow and white, and SO
marbles of an elliptic form, are puzz-
lers TO the antiquarian. There were six
teen bone labels four inches long, with a
word on one side and a number on the
other. The first twelve numbers in this
game appear TO have been unlucky, since
the names given them on the labels up TO
that number are spiteful or scurrilous, as
if the gambler personified the throw and
liked to call it by some villainous term.
No. Is is neither good nor bad, hence it is
called viX rides, you hardly smile" No.

How the Eskimo Dimes.

Their way of eating is decidedly pc
culiar. Cutting long strip of CORY,
greasy meat from the mass before him, the
Eskimo gourmand takes one end of it in
his mouth, and then pulling on the other
until tbs strained sight, with quick slash
of the knife past his mouth and nose he
sewers mouthful and swallows it with
out mastication, repeating the operation
rapidly until the limit of his storage
capacity is reached. A civilized spectator
watching an Eskimo family at dinner can
not fail to be struck with the wisdom of
Providence in giving these people such
short noses, as were the features any
longer they would infallibly suffer early

Another of the boys had faculty Of
drawing. His sketches of members were
fairly good caricatures. The easiest mark
for his pencil was the statesman from
Massachusetts, and the caricatures of Ben
began to float around the house pretty
promiscuously. The matter coming to
the attention of Mr.. Butler, complaint
was made to the doOrkeeper, who had
charge of the pages. The offending boy
was kept after adjournment to be repri-
manded. He was taken before the states

Anv man who has business with Mr.. Dana
can get access to him, but he will not
allow his time to be taken up on any
frivolous pretext. 1t is said that not long
since an Old darkey from Georgia called at
The Sun office and sent in a request to see
Mr.. Dana, who sent back word to the appl-
cant that he was very busy and could see no
one. But the darkcy was importUnate. He
said TO the boy who attends the wicket gate:
Il mus see him, honey. Use bin reading
The Sun desc many years, an jess want TO
shake him by the han, chile jes' run in an
aX him if he won't come out an shake hans. -
The chile went in and came out followed
by Mr.. Dana, who shook hands and had a
few moments conversation with his admirer
The darkey went away delighted and looking
at the hand which had claSped that of the
cSt-brated editor.
LlIhough Mr.. Dana writes comparatively
few of the editorials which appear daily IN
The Sun, he keeps keen watch on all tho
matter that goes into the paper. Congress
man Amos j. Cummings, at Il recent banquet,
gave a very graphic description of the solemn
way in which Mr. Dana used to stand in the
composing room and laying his finger on the
galleys of type, say Kill. kill! kill!' as
though he were sentencing men to death.
His visitors comprise men in every station
Of life Statesmen, diplomats, artists, scient-
lists, musicians and pugilists visit him, and
always meet with hearty reception.
For man who is nearly 20 years old, Mr..
Dana is remarkably vigorous. Indeed, it is
an axiom with him that a man is not old
until he has reached his Goth year. In the
summer he always walks to Roosevelt ferry
on his way to his summer residence at Do
SORTS, and when he is accompanied by an
errand boy the latter finds it difficult to keep
pace with him.

Superstitions Concerning Waves.

There are some curious superstitions
concerning waves. 1t was formerly held
among certain Of the devout that the com
motion of the sea was owing TO the SER
pents which St. Patrick had imprisoned
i'll ? box when he cast them out of Ire
land. The Arab sailors believed that the
high seas off the coast of Abyssinia were
enchanted, and whenever they found
themselves among them they recited verses
which We're supposed TO subdue them. An
old traveller, in voyage from Messina to
Malta, writes that he saw the captain, an
old and experienced sailor, standing at
the bow mutteriug and pointing with his
finger On being asked what he was
doing. be replied that he was breaking the
force of a fatal wave by making the sign
of the cross and saying the prayers proper
for the occasion. he said that every
ninth wave was the dangerous one. The
writer adds: And as the ship was imnSe-
diately driven more violently, and the
water suddenly beat high over it, This,
said he, is the ninth. Take the number
and count on Strange it is that every
ninth wave was much greater than any Of
the others, and threatened the ship with
immediate destruction. This wave, how
ever, whenever it approached, the captain,
by his mutlerings and signing of the cross,
seemed TO break, and the danger was
averted. London Telegraph.

The right choice of words is the highest
art of writing. 1t is a rare accomplish
ment. Few writers, even Of those who
have achieved distinction and won envi-
able estimation, have anything like per-
fection in that art. Most writers are sat
isfied If they present gracefully their
meaning to the reader. They study style,
practice to be elegant, and if they beeet q
certain facility of expression do not con-
Germ themselves with precise meanings in
selecting words. Enough attention is not
given to the fact that words have soul as
well as beauty and that there are differ
ent degrees of word soul. One word will
not do as well as another, simply because
the two have the same general meaning.
Not many evils of lax writing are as
grievous as the indiscriminate use of syn
onyms.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

a pair of lunatics disturbed all the sane
dancers tremendously. Each put an arm
behind the other and each leaned back on
this support. This gave them a sort Of

In Mr.. Dana is developed an almost pas

variety of form and color Whether il be "a
huge canvas or a small miniature, the figure
