THE COLLISION.

Ing the Big wreck on the
Cleveland II Pittsburg.
The collision on the Cleveland & Pitts
burg railroad near Summitville, reported
exclusively in yesterdays NEws.DEMo-
Graf, was one of the worst that has
occurred in many years on the road. A
moment after the trains came together, a
car of oil on the north bound freight
caught fire and exploded scattering the
blazing fluid over the piled up cars and in
a short time the whole train was a seething
mass of fire. 1t burnt fiercely for seven
hours and twas nearly four o'clock before
it cooled sufficiently to allow the wrecking
crew to get the remains OF John Leibtag
from under the engine. II was q fearful
sight, the head, arms and legs we're miss.
ing and only the blackened and charred
trunk was intact. His head had been cut
off by car which had been thrown clear
over the engine by the momentum of the
train. He resided in Cleveland and leaves
wife and two small children.
1t is terrible blow to bis wife, who has
lost q father, an uncle and a husband on
the Pennsylvania lines. She is niece Of
Engineer W. N. Richards of the Canton
shifer. Her father, James Richards, was
killed by his engine blowing up east of
Salem, ten years ago, and au uncle, En-
giueer Joseph Richards, was struck by a
passenger train at East Palestine four
months ago and instantly killed. Brake
man Frank Wilcoxen, of Wellsville, who
was first reported as dead, is still alive,
but it is believed he cannot survive long.
He has lost his reason, and the physicians
say his skull and balm is SO badly injured
il is nearly impossible for him to recover.
W. T. Starr, Lcibtag's fireman, is severely
ruptured and his arms and legs are ter
ribly bruised. The tracks were blockaded
all day, and it was eight o'clock before
any trains passed over the scene.

Why the Dog Is There.

An express wagon passed by. On
the end Of the seat where the driver
was there was painted the picture Of
a dog guarding safe. One man on
the corner asked his friend why a
dogs picture was nearly always on OF
near the picture of safe. Then he
told him. A long time ago the safe
was nothing more than an iron box.
1t had none of the scientific attach
ments which one sees in banks and
business houses to-day. The key Of
the great box was generally as heavy
as the box That is in proportion. 1t
was sometimes used as weapon. As
the iron boxes had no security but
the ordinary locks, bankers took to
leaving dogs tied to the boxes at
night. Then it was found necessary
to have the dogs trained. This the
bankers did not always have time to
do, even if they had known how.
The result was that the manufacture
ers took to dog farming. These dogs
were trained in the business of guard
ing the iron boxes, and at one time it
was the custom for the manufacturer
to furnish dog with each safe. And
the two became inseparable. That
is why you see the picture Of dog SO
often wherever you see the picture OF
safe. And that is also why you sec
dog SO often perched on the seat
with the driver Of an express wagon
which delivers money packages. Chi

Streets of Coral.

Georgetown, in the West Indies, IS a
city of some little beauty. 1t is well
laid out with wide, straight avenues that
intersect at right angles. Many of the
public buildings and private dwellings
are well constructed and handsome. One
thing that pre- eminently distinguishes it
among tropical seaboard towns is its red
dish brown streets. The public high
ways of all these cities are made from
coral sand, mud and powdered shells,
from the ocean bottom. The result is
white, glazing streets, which reflect the
suns intensely hot rays, and make every
body feel twice as disagreeable as there
is any necessity for. In Georgetown
this mud, coral and stuff is baked in a
large pottery oven, whence it issues dark
and grateful to the eyes. 1t makes a
splendid covering for the tops of the
roads, hard, elastic and smooth. In the
middle of some of the prominent streets
canals have been cut, fed with water
from reservoir in the back country.
Water lilies grow in the canals, the
length of the entire main street being
given up to the development of that mar
vellous plant, the Victoria Regia. Its
great flowers, scarlet and yellow, are as
big as small cabbage, and on its pads,
three or four feet in diameter, child of
six could safely stand. One turns from
a plant of this kind as from an august
Bengal tiger. There is none Of its own
world with whom to compare it.-New

A special from Philadelphia says !;
Had the ghost of Benjamin Franklin
walked into the supreme court he
would have been treated to the sight
of a passage at arms over his estate.
1t was in the case of the appeal of
Elizabeth B. Gillespie and Albert D.
Bache from the decree of the orphans
court, claiming fund held by the
city amounting to 800, 900, the accu-
mutation of a bequest by Benjamin
Franklin in the city over 100 years
ago. The fund was to be loaned out
for the benefit of parties at Interest to
revert to the city for water improve
men.s. The appellants claim that this
bequest is void, because it offends
against perpetuities, and that they, al
descendants, are entitled to the fund.

Among the forty-odd species Of
snakes in the Central Park menag-
erie, one of the most interesting Is
the eribo, a yellow tailed, tropical
snake, which has taste for devour-
ing other snakes, including those
which are poisonous. 1t is said that
he does not hesitate to attack bigger
reptiles than himself, but crawls
slyly up to his intended victim, pins
the enemy's head down. and holds it
firmly till he is dead. The eribo is not

No More Artificial Teeth.

Old age is robbed of half it's terrors
and much of it's deformity by the
brilliant discovery of Moscow den.
fist, DR.. Zuamensky, who according
to a possibly over-sanguine Russian
contemporary, has delighted The civ
ilized world by his skill in making
teeth to grow in toothless gums.
After experimenting on dogs he tried
the effects of his method in human
beings, and the success was complete.
The teeth are made Of gutta-percha,
porcelain, or metal, as may be desired.
The roof of the false tooth has some
holes bored in it. Holes are now
bored into the jaw, and into the hole
the false tooth is stuck as is a nall In
wood. In a short time a tender
growth starts up the cavity OF the
false tooth, and this growth harden
inc the tooth becomes fixed in posi-
ton. These new teeth can, accord
ing to the inventor, be placed in the
alyeolus Of a natural tooth, and thus
when diseased tooth is pulled out a
metal or porcelain substitute can be
inserted In its place without mourning
any risk Of transferring disease, as
happened in Hunters days, when the
apparently sound teeth OF poor per-
sons when transplanted not infre-
quently conveyed disease. There are
several minor inconsistencies In this
statement, but it would be ungraci-
Gus to look such noble gift in the
mouth, especially as according to den-
lists of good authority our race is
destined eventually to become eden
tulous. Medical Press.

How to Make a Fortune.

If one wants to make fortune, an
easy road to it, according to the st.
Louis obe-Demccrat, is to invent an
ink that will flow from the pen black
and stay black forever after. 1t says:
No chemical black ink has yet been
made which will write black i'm
medlately on exposure. The common
black ink is made of nut-galls, and is by
all odds the best ink every made. Manu-
scripts made in this black ink 500 and
800 years ago are just as legible to-day as
when first written. The chemical inks
of the present are of too recent inven-
ton to determine whether they will last
but it is quite probable that most o
them win be as legible at the end O
fifty CT seventy five years as they are to
day.

Lace workers.

I'm the best days of the manufacture OF
trolly lace in Devonshire, England, the
women were not the only workers.
Every boy, until he reached the age of
fifteen and was able to work in the fields,
had to go to lace school daily. Sail
ors, on returning from voyage, would
often take up again for time the art of
lace making that they had learned in
childhood
The unhealthy rooms in which the
crowded female lace workers had to per-
form their task during their apprentice
ship have been in some measure remedied
in several of the lace making districts,
and better sanitary conditions prevail.
They are not obliged to stoop so much,
as the pillows on which they work are
raised higher. In former days children
were treated barbarously in the lace
schools-were obliged, for instance, to
ut a certain length of time without NOV
ing from their pillow, and the lazy ones
were terribly punished.
A lady who has visited many lace
schools in Devon, says that it might be
desired that some philanthropist would
introduce the infant school system OF al
lowing the pupils to march and stretch
their limbs at the expiration of every
hour The children, however, looked
ruddy as the apples in their native orch
ards. Although the lace worker might
IN after life be less robust in appearance
than the farm servant or the Cheshire
milkmaid, her life was far more healthy
than the female operative of the North
ern manufacturing districts.
A good lace maker now makes only
twenty-five cents a day in Devonshire.
Many of the shops pay one-half in money,
the other twelve and half cents being
taken out in tea or clothing, often sold
considerably above their value. Then
other manufacturers pay their lace makers
altogether in groceries. In case of illness,
or from any other reason, lace maker
asks for an advance in cash, she is OBJ
liged to pay usury by working out
twenty eight for each twenty-five cents
she gets. Brooklyn Citizen.
