The Invention is announced of the
phonendoscope, an instrument OF
wonderful value in studying the con-

conveys to the physician the sounds
made by the internal organs. thus
telling him whether they are healthy

THE HIGHEST WATERFALL.

The silver Threads Leap into the
Grand Canyon of the YeIioystone.
On the south side of the Grand Cam
yon of the Yellowstone river, is one Of
the highest. if no the highest, water
falls in this country. 1t is called the
Silver Thread. and falls, as near as can
be calculated | 500 feet. The descent
Is not perpendicular but it is so near
It that it is hard not to believe that
the water does not fall straight down,
when viewed from across the canyon.
The water comes from a mountain
stream which has no name. 1t flows in
a northerly direction towards the cam
yon from the foot hills of the Absaroka
range of mountains. Its entire route
is through dense forests until it reaches
the very edge of the canyon. Then it
plunges downward with a roar in keep
ing with its size, and keeps dropping
and dropping until the Yellowstone river
below is reached, l,s00 feet from the
brink.
As stated before, the descent is not
perpendicular, but il is very near ii,
The walls of the canyon at that par
ticular place are very rugged, and this
little stream has worn almost straight
channel down through the rocks. The
water dashes downward at a very slight
angle, practically turning neither tC
4 the right nor the lett. In several places
a rock. not as Vet worn away, breaks
the steady fall of water, forming
slight cascade. These cascades do no
cause a real break in the descent of tn
water, so practically the falls of th'
Silver Thread are the highest in th'
world,
The name given these falls is yer,
appropriate. They cannot be seen bu
from the brink of the south side o
the canyon which is almost mile wild
there. Although this waterfall Is 1
feet wide from top to bottom, it doe
not appear to be more than a couple o
inches wide from the point Of observe
ton. The walls Of the canyon wher
these falls occur are below the vivi
colorations, and are of dark brown
The water looks like a silver thread {

II. eIory Has departed.

In the days Of Its prosperity Bath,
Me-, had almost five miles of busy ship
yards. The town had never done any
thing else for living than to build and
sail ships, but it prospered in that.
Thirty or more years ago its harbor was
always filled with shipping, and its
streets were busy with trade. But
there has been a steady decline since the
end of the war, and vivid exemplifica-
ton of the decay in American shipping.
At present not one wooden vessel is
being built in the town, and there is
not a vessel intended for the merchant
marine on the way. Old ship owners
are selling their vessel property as fast
as they are able to do so, and putting
their money into other things that pay
better interest, and unless some change
is quickly made in the economic con
ditions of the country affecting ship
ping, it is evident that Bath and great
many other towns of the same characteI
will be compelled to go out of the bust
ness of building ships.-N. Y. Post.

Origin of Our Coin Motto.

Mr. Preston. Director of the Mint
gives the origin of the motto, I'm
God We Trust, which is stamped
ou our coins He says:
1t appears the FIRST suggestion Of
such motto came probably from
". X. WatxinsoH of Ridleyyille,
Pa. who signed himself "a minister
Of the gospel. His letter to Secretary
Chase on the subject was dated Nov.
I3 1861. The notices suggested
Our Country, Our God a God Our
Trust. In reply the Secretary wrote;
Il approve OF your notices suggest
ing that the first should read, Our
God and Our Country aud that the
motto on the shield should be chang
ed so as to read, instead of God Our
Trust. In God We Trust. In ac-
cordance with an Act passed April
1864 the motto. In God We Trust,
was placed on the new bronze two

Terrible Railroad Accident.

NEWCASTLE, Colo, Sept. 10.-The
most disastrous railway wreck that has
ever happened in Colorado occurred at
1915 O'Clock this morning, a mile and
half east of this town. A Denver
and Rio Gande passenger train, west
bound, collided with a Colorado Mid.
land stock train, going east, wrecking
both engines and several cars in both
trains. Shortly after the collision fire
broke out in the ruins. A number OF
passengers who were not killed out.
right but who we're pinned In the
wreckage and could not be extricated,
persisted in the flames. There were
about 200 passengers on the train and
it is estimated that twenty-five persons
were killed and as many more bruised,
scalded and burned, of whom over six
are likely to die of their injuries. The
trains collided on curve or bend round
the mountain and there was no oppor.
tunity to avoid the wreck or even to
slacken their speed. Conductor Bur-
banks explanation of the wreck is that
in looking at the passenger trains leav-
ing time on the card he looked at the
wrong column of figures. 1t is difficult
to get particulars about the dead and
injured, 30 great is the confusion. At
least two cars of stock were wrecked
and the road is strewn with dead ami.

brewers are also interested in the com.

tually control the brewing business of
the country. The Amero q Mailing
Company, as the new combine will be

Half of this stock will be preferred and
on this there is guarantee that it will

claimed that there are also number Of
Chicago and st. Louis concerns inter.
ested. The company in the course of
time will centralize the manufacture of
malt in such places as Chicago, Mil
waukee, st. Louis, Philadelphia and
New York. All the smaller plants
will be closed down. 1t is claimed that
the new company will be the only big
bidder for barley in the market and
that it can determine what the farmers
shall get for it.
