Superior as a uonopolist Of the water and
rail termini at one end Of the lakes is in the
same position as Buffalo at thc other end.
Figures are unintsresting unless given
briefly, but comparisons are always impor-
tant. This little Superior, credited by its
last census with only y, 900 people, handled
more coal last year than did Chicago; Of
grain, it shipped nineteen million bushels:
of flour, sixteen hundred thousand barrels.
Of wool, four million pounds: of merchan-
disc, to he value of thirteen million dol
lars. OF all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is Ill economical reason for this con-
dition of things. 1t is that the rail rate on
freight sent west OF Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile. while the water rate
Is one-tenth Of one cent per ton per mile.
THIS position at the extreme western end Of
Lake Superior is what gives the city Of Su-
perlor its prestige, and is making IL grow

Fatal Collision on tho Wabash at Aladdin
Cars Burned Up.
An awful collision occurred on the Wa
bash Road at Aladdin, Ill Six men were
killed outright two probably fatally in
jured, and many others badly hurt The
trains were the east and west bound cam
non-ba trains. The east bound train had
the right OF way, and was waiting at Alad-
din for the other. No II. to take the siding
The night was foggy, and Engineer Bushart
was not very we'll acquainted with the run,
and failed to get TO the switch whore he
should have stopped, but went rushing by
into the station at n high rate of speed.
He was unable to see anything ahead
of him-at least this was the sup
position. The engines came together
with terrific crash, and in an instant all
was confusion, and to add to the horror OF
the scene both trains took fire, consuming
the baggage and smoking car and one chair

The body of Bushart was found pinned TO
the ground under his engine and his fireman
was fatally injured Charles Wilson, the
engineer of the east-bound train was en-
gulphed in the wreck and his body has not

used up, but may survive. Four Italian

Earthquakes.

Several shocks of earthquake which
have recently been felt in various
quarters Of the globe at about the time
of the new moon recall the interesting
theory that the earth is more frequently
shaken near the periods of the new and
full moon than at any other times. Lists
of earthquakes covering many years have
been prepared, which seem to favor this
theory.
The reason assigned is similar TO that
by which we are able TO account for the
greater height or the tides at new and full
moon.
When the moon and the sun are on the
same side of the earth, as is the case at
new moon, they unite the force of their
attractions in heaping up the waters of
the sea. The same thing happens when
they are on opposite sides of the earth ,as
at full moon, for then each, by attracting
in an opposite direction, assists the other
in pulling out the ocean, so to speak aas
one might pull out the sides of rubber
ball
According to the theory in question,
the same forces of the sun and moon
which raise the tides put strain upon
the crust of the earth which, by causing
the strata of the rocks to slip and slide u
little, produces earthquakes.
When the moon is at its quarters its
pull is at right angles to that of the sun,
and then, as is well known, the tides are
lowest. Then, too, it is argued, the
strain upon the crust of the earth is least.
If this theory is true. how wonderfully
sensitive the apparently solid globe must
be to the impulses conveyed to it by th'.
attraction of bodies hundreds of thous i,
ands and millions of miles Distant
