of ]. w. Carsons, in this town, exploded
with terrific force and disastrous effect.
The engineer, Oliver Brown of Havre de
Grace, Md, was terribly scaded and re-
ceived Internal injuries, which are likely
to prove fatal.
Jacob keatley of Hartford county, NIL,
an enploye, widower with three chill

Tho cause of the explosion, it is sup
posed, was the turning in of cold water
into the boiler after the water had run too
low to allow this to be done with safety.

The Cutting Power of Rivers

We frequently see statements and esti-
mates of the amount of sand and mud
that is annually carried into the ocean
by the great rivers of the world No
one who has seen a suddenly formed
rain torrent cut a deep channel in Il
roadway can doubt the power of water
to wear away the features of the globe
In fact it has been estimated that in
about 100000 years, if the present rate
of denudation be continued, the whole
surface of the earth will be smoothed
off to one general level.
But while it is easy to see how river
and its tributaries can rapidly cut their
way through ordinary soil and sand. it
is more difficult to conceive the remark
able effects produced by water which
runs over bed of solid rock.
The Colorado river, for instance, flow
ing between lofty walls of rock and upon
a rocky bottom, is still deepening its
channel.
The explanation Of the cutting power
of the water Of the Colorado lies, as the
Rev. Dr.. hutchinson, the geologist. has
pointed out, in the fact that it is charged
with sand, brought to it in great guam
titles by it's tributaries. This sand be-
ing swept down the steep gradients of
the river wears away the rocky bed as
emery dust wears stone.
Thus nature assists nature on all sides,
and the sand that frost and wind and
water have formed out of the exposed
rock of the mountains becomes, in turn,
an instrument for channeling and wear
ing away the better protected rock of
the valleys beneath.-Yo uth's Com

AccOunting for the Sky.

According to a belief Of the savages
in the south Pacific islands, originally
the heavens almost touched the earth,
but Maui and another god named Ru
pushed them up to their present lofty
position. However, the work was not
complete, for the surface of the sky was
very irregular. So they each took big
stone adze and with them Clipped off
the rough parts of the sky, thus giving
it perfectly oval appearance. Then
they procured finer AIDES, chipping away
with them at the vault of blue stone IN
til it became faultlessly smooth and
beautiful as it is now. There are ten
heavens, one above another, which are
the abode of warriors who have persisted
in battle.-EXchange
