Besides having a profound scientific
mind far in advance Of his time, he had
keen relish for good joke, whether on
himself or another. In order TO aid
the students OF geology in grasping the
essential distinctions between the vari-
Gus classes of rock, he requested them
to bring in specimens and place them
on his desk before the recitation be-
gan. One day student brought a
piece Of brick, secured from a building
being erected near the college, and
placed it on the table among the other
specimens. "Uncle jennie" came in a
few moment later, and, apparently I'M

one at a time, naming them, and re-
marking their peculiarities. This,

When Columbus crossed the Atlantic
his vessel had TO push through mass
of seaweed which has been named the
Sea of Sargasso, which is now pretty
we'll known as gulf weed or Sargasso
weed. The strange part of the history
is that no one has ever found out where
this seaweed grows. The immense float-
ing mass of weed extends from west
longitude l5 to 20 degrees. Some recent
suggestions consider it a seaweed that
has lost its power of attaching itself to
rocks. and propogates itself on the sur
face of the ocean. Its name, Fucus
Natans, seems to have originated in
such thought.

The question OF injury to the eyes
from electric light is being prominently
discussed by scientists, oculists and lay
men throughout the country, says the
American Journal OF Photography.
while opinion widely differs as to the
ultimate injury likely to result from
the rapidly increasing use Of electri-
city, the consensus OF opinion is that
light from uncovered or uncolored
globes is working damage to eyesight
of humanity. In discussion of the
subject a London electric-light journal
in defending its trade. feels called upon
to make some important admissions.
1t says: 1t is not customary to look al
the sun, and not even the most enthu-
siastic electrician would suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filament:
were objects to be gazed at without
limit. But the naked arc lights are
not usually placed so as to come within
the line Of sight, and when they do &C

injury to the eye Is quite perceptible

ALPHABETICAL ITEMS.

The letter III was in Hebrew named
Cheth, hedge. or by some authorities
translated a stile. 1t is supposed that
the form OF the letter was an imitation
of the STEPS through which entrance
was gained into an Enclosed field.
Peter the Great. among other changes
made in the customs and manner of mis-
people, also instituted reform in the
alphabet. Finding the number OF let
tiers greater than he considered neees-
sary. ne fixed the alphabet at SO.
The Hebrews called Il Resh, the
forehead. and the Phoenician form OF
the letter closely resembles in outline
the upper part of the head, the hair

and taps of the ears being plainly Wis

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Wreck at Orange.

Engineer and Fireman on the Fitch
burg Railroad Killed and $4,000
worth OF Property Destroyed.
Engineer William Clements, So, was in
stantly killed about o'clock Sunday morn
ing in collision on the Fitchburg railroad
half mile east of Orange. George Fowler,
fireman, was MORALLY injured and w. S.
sexton, brakeman, received bad cut on
the head. A big passenger engine, II
freight cars loaded with merchandise, and
one passenger coach were almost totally
wrecked. The money loss is estimated at
$4,000 to $4,000.
Special freight No. PSI, west bound,
passed Athol, carrying a safety signal and
orders to run to Erving, nine miles west,
where it was to get out of the way of the
west-bound newspaper train. 1t is said
that between Athol and Orange the special
freight broke apart and as there was not
sufi1cient time to get to Erving an attempt
was made to reach the east-bound track in
the Orange yard, The freight train was
backing at the rate of ten miles an hour TO
reach cross-over track when the rear end
was struck by the engine of the paper train,
which was running about 40 miles an hour.
The engine ran through the twelve cars or
tossed them aside, then left the tracks, ran
on bank and stone ledge, and there turned
on its side. Engineer Clements was thrown
backward 80 feet and his body so wedged
between the first passenger coach and the
wrecked freight cars that it was necessary
to cut hole in the passenger coach to get
it out.
A dense fog was undoubtedly factor in
the accident. 1t is claimed that Brakeman
Sullivan of the special freight went back
as soon as the train broke in two. He says
that he was over a quarter of mile in the
rear of the special freight vigorously wav-
ing his red lantern, and that when the pa
per train did not stop he shouted and sent
his lantern crashing into the engine as it
passed. He also says that he set the usual
torpedoes, but the explosions were not
heard by any one on the train. 1t was
eight hours before a track was cleared
through the wreck,
