to tell you another good deed the doctor
did yesterday. A poor lady. who has
been sick for some time. and whose hus-

Sproule's help, but after consulting the
doctor they had not the money TO pay for
medical treatment. Friends came TO the
rescue. A collection was taken up in the
church last Sunday and yesterday the
lady appeared at the doctors office 20
pay the stipulated sum and be cured. The
amount being all i'm small change, the
doctor inquired how she got such kind OF
money, and she reluctantly confessed Co

bear ID WIN ON Trsin wreckers.

Washington Post: Society cannot af-
ford to give convicted train robbers any,
thing but a speedy exit from this life. We
can conceive of no act more fiendishly
cruel and diabolically wicked than train
wrecking. 1t often involves an awful
death for innocent and unsuspecting men,
women and children, and manning for
many who survive. And II no fatality re-
suits from the derailing the moral quality
of the act is just as bad as IL 1t had pro-
duced a long list of killed and injured.
Compared with the train wrecker the av-
erage murderer is comparatively harm
less. He has killed one person for re-
venge or gain, and might possibly, If let
alone. do no more killing. yet we send him
to the gallows as a proper protection to
society. But the train wrecker deliber-
ately commits a crime which he Knows
will probably kill many persons who are
unknown to him, and against whom he
can have no grievance.

RAILROAD POSTAL CARS.
The Improvements Which Have Been Made
In the Building of These vehIcl g.

In the Building Of These vehIcl 3.
From Harper's Weekly.
The postal authorities have put IN
operation recently half a dozen improv-
ed cars, which have become known as
burglar and collision proof The
construction of these cars Is such that
robbers would find 1t difficult to break
into them in transit. as frequently hap
pens with express cars, but they are
not intended primarily to be burglar
proof" Extensive use of steel plates in
the framing at the ends and In the stills
of the heavy timbers that run the
length of the cars has made them a
great deal stronger than the cars in
use heretofore, and they are practically
collision proof in ordinary smash-ups
They are not collision proof in the
sense that they will stand any shock
that comes when the accident usually
results in the loss of life.
The place of postal clerks is very
hazardous. Several of these clerks were
killed in an accident recently on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Harrisburg
and others were injured in train
wrecking accident on the New York
Central railroad near Utica, shortly af-
terward. Whenever an accident hap
pens to a through train almost invari-
ably one reads that the postal clerks
are killed or injured. The reason for
this Is that postal cars are carried next
to the locomotive. as a rule. to avoid
switching as much as possible. They
are usually heavily loaded and in max
ing over the train at functions they are
placed where they will cause the least
delay In getting under way again. BY
strengthening them with steel plates
and stout angle bars the danger in ac-
cidents will be greatly lessened.
Six of these cars are now In opera
tlon between New York and Chicago
on the Erie railroad. In a few weeks
Is of them will be in operation. and
from time to time their number will be
increased. They are made from the
design of +. w. Grieves, superintendent
OF the car department of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad. They are So feet long
on the inside. and have no platforms.
The absence of platforms gives the APP
pearance of one long jointed car when
three or four of them are made up to-
gether. There are no doors at the ends;
and this fact. with the absence OF plat
forms gave rise to the burglar proof
idea. The platforms were taken of to
get more room inside rather than to
prevent robberies, which rarely occur
on mail cars.
The internal arrangements OF the
cars is a decided Improvement on the
old style. The stove is in the middle of
the car This lessons the danger from
fire in time of accident and also gives
a better heat The racks and storage
part of the car are in one end. These
serve as a buffer in collisions. The
cars are lighted by oil and gas. and
this makes careful sorting OF the pack
ages easier. Under each end Is a six
wheeled truck. The wheels are 80 inch
es in diameter. and are said to be the
largest ever used on cars in this coun-

A Long ID stance Chew.

From the Northwest Magazine.
An illustration of how space is ami
hilated by the telegraph was afforded
a few days ago by two telegraph clerks
sitting opposite each other in a Chi
cago office. One of them was sending
a message to New Orleans; the other
was receiving a message from the same
city. The sender wanted to borrow a
plug of tobacco from his colleague,
but IL would have been a breach of the
rules to ask for IL. He therefore wired
to New Orleans and asked the receiver
to tell his pardner to hand him a
Chew" In less than a minute the
plug came over the glass partition,
which separated the two operators.
The message had travelled considerably
over a thousand miles, although only
a yard separated one operator from an
other

DEPTH OF THE OCEAN.
soundings Recently Taken on the Coas
of Japan.

soundings Recently Taken on the Coas
of Japan.
From the Scientific American.
A sounding has recently been taken
in the Pacific ocean, near the coast OF
japan, which showed a depth of 29,400
feet, or approximately five and a half
miles. This is a little more than the
height OF the loftiest mountain, Mount
Everest, which is situated in the Him
alaya range, to the north of India.
How much deeper the Pacific is than
this Ii is impossible to tell, the wire
having broken, presumably through
its inability to sustain its own weight.
In a previous attempt to reach the
floor of the ocean at this spot, the wire
broke at a depth of 25.S00 feet.
1t has been suggested, as one theory
of the formation of mountain ranges,
that they represent the crumbling up.
or buckling, of the earth's crust under
the severe contraction strains that
were set UP as the surface of the globe
solidified. II this be true, the deep
ocean valleys or gorges, such as this
OF the coast of japan, must be the re-
suit of the same action.
Taken in connection with the Hottest
mountain. this sounding gives differ
ence in the distance from the earth $
center of about IL miles, or 1888 of the
earth's radius.
