ens ineer found that he could not stop the
engine, Oily ono result was possible. The
car was arrested by tho strong bumper
which stops its progress, aud as the engine
continued its force was expended
on the two cal les and they snapped
like thread under its normous power. THIN
the car, with Its eight inmates locked with

The crash at the foot of the plane was fright
full. The iron gate that formed tho lower
end of the track on which tho car restei,

in the gutter The track itself and the floor
and seats OF the car formed a shapeless
wreck, mingled with the bleeding and
mangled bodies OF the eight passengers OF

A New Cattle Pest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Last summer a
new pest was reported in cattle in New
Jersey Delaware, Maryland and North
ern Virginia. The pest has again made
it's appearance this summer. 1t is
small fly, half the size of horse fly,
which settles in great numbers around
the base of the horns and other por-
tons of the body where it cannot ssbe
reached bv either tail or head. tsucks
a moderate amount of blood, reduces
the condition of the cattle, and lessons
the WELD of milk bv one-third to one
half. This new pest has been 1nvestl-
gated by the Department of Agricul-
ture through the acting entomologist,
L. O. Howard, who has succeeded in
tracing the entire life history of the
pest. He thinks that the fly lays its
eggs at night in freshly dropped COW
dung, and that for the development
from the egg through the maggot stage
to the perfect fly space of only twelve
days is necessary He says this rapid
ty of reproduction accounts for the
wonderful number in which these flies
appear, and it follows with reasonable
certainty that the insect will pass the
winter in the quiescent stage at the
bottom of dungs dropped late in the
fall (the approximate date to be deter
mined later.)
The preventative is obviously to lime
the dung in the fall in places where the
cattle preferably stay at night. AT the
present Interpretations may be made
to mich COWS and valuable animals
which will keep the flies away. The
applications may be: /. Fish oil and
pine tar, with little sulphur added
2. Tobacco dust, when the skin is not
broken. 8. Tallow and small amount
of carbolic acid.

THE reply of Postmaster General
Wanamaker to DIR. Norvin Green, presi-
dent of the Western Union Telegraph
company, is sensible exposition of the
relation existing between the government
of the United States and this gigantic
monopoly. 1t shows that the party Of the
first part has some rights which the party
of the second part is bound to concede
and respect, and that the unreasonable
charges of the telegraph company are
liable to be questioned and modified by
that power from which the company de-
risves its existence and is endowed with
its franchises. 1t teaches DR.. Green that
the creature must not indulge in the as
sumption that it rules the creator or that
it carries the destinies of the whole
