THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Terrible Disaster on the Old Colon

IefriDie DtHnHter ON the Old Colony
Road.
Tuesday noon on the Old Colony railroad
near Quincy, Mass, occurred one of the
most disastrous accidents ever known in
the vicinity of Boston. A heavily loaded
passenger express left the track, plunged
into an embankment ~ feet high and was
turned upon its side. One of the passenger
coaches fell upon the overturned engine aud
escaping steam filed the car, terribly scald
ing the occupants, 81 persons being killed
or dying from their wounds and % serious
ly injured, while numbers of others sus-
tanned hurts Of more or less severity. The
Goals of the engine set fire TO the wreck
but the horror of a general blaze was pre-
vented by the prompt appearance of the
Quincy fire department Skilled surgeons
were soon ON the scene aud the wounded
were removed to the Quincy hospital.
Among the victims who have been denti-
fed are Mr.. and Mrs. e. p. johnson of
Montpelier and their eight year old son,
also Mrs. h. #. Parker of Wellesley Hills,
and her young son, well known in Brattle-
boro aud vicinity The more the mat
ter of the accident is investigated the
more certain it appears that the leaving of
a track jack between the rails by the sec
ton hands was the cause Of the disaster.
The curve at this point in the road is very
abrupt, and the men had barely time to get
out of the way themselves, the Jack being
overlooked in their haste. The finding of
the jack at quite distance from the track
over among some bushes, but bearing the
marks of the car wheels, also points TO this
solution.

The Burlington Free Press says that the
work of preparation on the new fair
grounds at White River junction is rapidly
approaching completion. The new track
is finished, the grand stand ready for its
1000 occupants, and the other stands and
necessary buildings erected and ready for
use. The only question is as to the accom-
mediation of the thousands of visitors ex-
pected and the directors will no doubt ar
rive at a satisfactory solution of that when
a meeting with the railroad officials shows
what can be done on the different lines
centreing in White River Junction.

Corn, Thick and Thin,

The Connecticut Experiment Station
calls attention to the fact, which may
be interesting to cultivators, that grain
in general needs thicker planting on
poor than on fertile soil, and that the
lodging of grain results from the too
crowded growth when the plants shade
each other too much, become watery,
and for this reason a MANFRED piece of
land may give a less return than more
sterile one under certain conditions.
A series OF experiments were made by
the station to determine the relative
value of certain dent and flint varieties
OF corn. Both were planted at different
and measured distances in rows four
feet apart. The unexpected result was
reached that the dent would bear closer
planting and give heavier returns from
tnick planting than the flint, although
the dent was taller, larger, had heavier
leaves, and larger and longer ears. The
flint yielded the heaviest crop when
planted one foot apart in the row, while
the dent produced the most with two
stalks to foot. This remarkable diff
ference in favor of the thickest plant
ing for the larger variety, was ascribed
to the continued selection of seed of
this particular sub-variety of the dent
for the past fifteen years, with special
view to this superiority; and it affords
q strong recommendation of the practice
of continuous selection with valuable
points in view. This continued repro
duction of plants from the seed, con-
tinuously produces new varieties; but
this improvement is not to be expected
in case of the potato, which is not in
creased by seed but only from cuttings
of tho underground stems.

An Excellent Way to Keep the Water
Tank from Overlooking.
An excellent way to control the water
in a tank is the one in common use and
probably not patented. A weight is at
tached to the faucet of the tank which
is just sufficient to close it and keep it
closed A strong cord passes upward over
small pulley, then horizontally and
down directly over the center of the
tank, and is then attached to a float.
When water is taken from the trough
of course the surface falls, lowering the
float. This pulls on the cord, which
lifts and opens the valve, allowing wa
ter to flow into the tank. When the
tank has filled sufficiently the
float is raised, the cork slack
ened and the faucet closed. The
