R. R. ACCIDENT.

terrible accident occurred at about
o'clock Monday afternoon, Dec. IL, on the
P, A. & W. Ry. The scene of the disaster
was Poverty Run bridge, located about y
miles west of Sycamore and 2B miles east

In falling, the passenger coach was turned

The water. Courses Of Mars.

Mr., J. M. Schaeberle, Of the Lick obser-
vatory, has introduced new element into
the discussion about the canals" of Mars.
It has generally been assumed that the
darker areas on that planet are water sur
faces, and the lighter regions continents
and islands. As the canals are dark in
color it was naturally inferred that they
must be channels filed with water.
Mr.. Schaeberle, as result of his studies
of Mars with the great telescope, suggests
the possibility that the astronomers may
have been mistaken about the meaning of
the colors on Mars, and that the dark areas
may really be the lands Of that planet, and
the light areas the seas.
One of his reasons for this conclusion In
that at times some Of the bright areas ap-
near more than usually brilliant, as though
the rejecting surface were in state OF
agitation. The contrasts, he thinks, are
Ike those witnessed in light reflected from
a calm and from an agitated water surface
But IL Mr.. Schaeberle is right, then the
scanals" are not canals, not water courses,
but phenomena connected with the land.
He suggests that they may be the ridges
| Of mountain chains which are almost
wholly immersed In water. The double
canals" then would represent parallel
mountain ranges such as we have upon
| the earth.
When trained observers, possessing the
advantages arising from the use Of the
best telescopes, differ so widely In opinion
concerning the markings on Mars, the con
fident statements about the conditions ol
that planet and the doings Of lts inhab
itants, which have been widely printed
begin to appear ridiculous. Yet that should
not cause any one to lose interest IN suct
studies.- Companion,

Young fellow, with sober face and de-

for a down town train. The solemn young
man was smoking cigarettei not an ex-
pensive, fat, ten cent, imported cigarette
title on it, printed in gSd, but an ordinary,
truthful, domestic cigarette, of which you
can buy ten for five cents. It was about
half smoked up. Tho train came rumbiing
along. The solemn young man did not
throw his cigarette away, asil did: Instead
of tossing it one side he knocked the ashes
off carefully, pulled out little glass bot

down the neck, lighted end first. Then he
nut the bottled cigarette stump back in his
pocket and got on board.
made bold to ask the solemn young
man why he did it. Very deliberately he
answered.:
"To save the cigarette"
"But does it pay for the bother and Is
the cigarette fit to smoke again"
"Oh, yes; Think SO. You see, can take
the cigarette out very easily" and hepulled
the phial from his pocket and proved his
assertion. "Now there is half of ciga-
rette. might just as well smoke that as
half of another one. At least twice day.
and usually three or four times, have
about half smoked my cigarette when the
train comes SO invented this method of
saving the other half of the cigarette. By
it save about Thousand cigarettes a
year. That is equal to five dollars, and 1t
seems to me might as well save that five
dollars every year as throw it away"

fellow was is still poor.-New York Herald.
