JUST AS HE DREAMED IT.
Vision That Rendered an Engineer
HOMerleaa tn Axnrt GalII.loa


P"werless to Avert Collision.
George Anderson, of Springfield, Ill.
an engineer on the Wabash railroad
died of injuries which he received in q
head-on collision at Naples recently.
On the morning of the accident An.
derson dreamed that he had been in a
collision, that he had been pinioned be.
meath his engine, and that the escaping
steam had begun to burn his flesh, when
lie awole. Anderson was troubled by
the dream and told his family about it,
lie said he felt that there was warning
in the dream, and he was almost per-
suaded not TO go out on the road that
day, but he went. Anderson talked to
his fireman about the presentiment.
II evidently preyed upon his mind, for
he became abstracted in manner and al
most needless of his surroundings. The
nearer the train approached its destina-
tion the more distraught Anderson be-
came. and he had the appearance OF
dreaming again as he went about his
work in the cab. He did not give his
usual attention to the fireman, and the
hitter felt that something was wrong
with the engineer.
At Bluffs Conductor Garrison got the
orders at the depot and took them to
Anderson. The engineer heard them
read and attended 10 the reading in the
same absent-minded manner that had
marked his conduct throughout the
morning. Taking the copies, he me
chanically placed them under his seat
cushion. AS the conductor turned away
from the cab Anderson called him back
and said:
II am going to have one of the most
awful wrecks you ever heard Of"
The conductor was startled, and asked
him what made him say this.
81 know it is So" replied Anderson,
"because l had trouble with my engine
all last night and could not sleep. lam
going to have n head-on collision"
Garrison told him he had only suf-
fered n nightmare. Anderson shook his
head gloomily and said he knew the ac-
cident would occur. Anderson's orders
instructed him to meet n local freight
At Naples and wait for that train to
take the siding. When the point was
reached Anderson gave no indication of
stopping his engine, and as the train
dashed by the switch the fireman saw
his engineer sitting as if in trance.
AT the same moment he saw the local
coming down upon them. A collision
was inevitable and the fireman sprang
for the footboard, crying to the en-
gineer to jump.
Anderson looked at the fireman in a
dazed manner, but made no movement
toward the cab entrance. The fireman
sprang out and the trains rushed to-
gether. Anderson was caught beneath
his engine just as he had dreamed he
would be and the steam enveloped him.
He was finally taken from his awful po-
sition, but he had received injuries from
which he soon died. Every other man
on the train escaped.-St. Louis Re-

States by England under a claim Of

under this treaty, be submitted to
arbitration"
New York, Jan. 49, The Journals
Washington special says: The
Anglo-American arbitration treaty
recently concluded by Secretary
Olney with Sir Julian Pauncefoto
and Lord Salisbury will never pass
the United States Senate. A poll of
the members OF the Senate shows
the futility OF the Administrations
attempt to force the treaty through
that body. Only sixteen Senators
favor the immediate ratification of
the instrument as negotiated, and it
is not certain that even that many
would finally support it. 1t requires
two. thirds vote to ratify.

this morning publishes an interview

he declares that the people general

The Treaty of Arbitration.
New YORK, Jan. 14.-The World
this morning saga: General Ben
jsmin F. Tracey, former Secretary
of the Navy, when asked his views
of the arbitration treaty last night,
said: "When the signing Of the
treaty was announced, l thought it
one OF the greatest triumphs that
diplomacy had ever achieved. But
since reading with more care what
purports to be the text of the treaty,
l am led to doubt whether we do
not by this treaty agree to submit to
the arbitration of an European
monarch the whole question Of the
Monroe doctrine and our right to
enforce it. By Article l, it is pro-
vided that high-contracting parties
agree to submit to arbitration, in
accordance with the provisions OF
this treaty, all questions of differ
ence between them in which they
may fail to adjust by diplomatic
negotiations.
Secretary Olney is reported as
declaring that by this treaty Eng.
land has recognized and affirmed
the Monroe doctrine. l fail to find
any language in this treaty which
justifies any such inference. On the
contrary, it seems clear that if this
treaty is ratified the United States
binds itself to submit to arbitration
its rights to enforce the Monroe
doctrine, as against England.
"If Spain, in her distress, should
sell Cuba to England, am unable
to SEQ why Article does not OK
pressly provide that our right to
exclude her from the control and
enjoyment OF the territory claimed
under such purchase is not to be
submitted to arbitration.
"The language of Article 8,

seem to fit and provide for the
exact situation that would exist
under those circumstances.

chase either Cuba or St, Thomas her

After many years of patient waiting
and numerous attempts that have re-
suited only in failure and disappoint-
ment, Professor Edward G. Pickering.
of the Harvard observatory, has az
last succeeded in taking photograph
of a meteor as il was in The act 81
falling from the heavens. The photo
graph is one of the most remarkable IN
existence, as no one had ever succeed
ed in taking one until Professor Pick
erings long looked for opportunity
came and the meteor crossed the fteld
of one of his Photographic pflsms Win
the result shown in the accompanying
illustration. To scientific men the inter
est attaching to this absolutely unique
photographic curiosity is very great Tor
although the composition Of the meteor

known, this spectrum may determine
the nrecise condition Of shooting stars
before the great heat engendered IN
passing through the earths atmosphere
has had time TO consume the mere iu-
sihle eomponents.
Professor Pickering describes the IN
strument with which he took the pho
fograph as follows; 1T is what is com
monly known as a Photographic doub-
let having two achromattc obJeclNes

The focal length of the whole eompina

of the photograph itself he says:
THE photographs of the spectra Of
the stars taken at the Harvard college
observatory differ in two respects from
those ordinarily taken elsewhere In
stead of using a spectroscope with a
slit. in which but one star Is photo
graphed at a time. a large prism IS
placed over the objective glass of the
telescope, and thus spectra Of all bright
stars in the field Of view are Obtained.
The number of stars photographed SIM
ultaneously is still further increased by
substituting for the object glass por-
trait lens like that used 10y the pho
aographer only larger. The field Of
view is in this way increased from two
degrees square To ten degrees square.

ONLY PHOTOGRAPH OF METEOR'S SPECTRUM
Prof Pickering of Harvard College Explains Its Unique CHAR
acter and Value From Scientific Standpoint
Obtained by Lucky Accident

The photograph shown was taken
III about II Il. m. on June lNth. 1872.
The cieht-inch Baehe telescope was
on duty that night at Arequlpa
station and was directed toward the
constellation Teleseopium. At the time
mentioned a bright meteor appeared in
right ascension Is i, ~ m, deciinauon
III degrees 10 minutes. and passed out
of the field at right ascension Is d y u.
declinatiau-- 80 degrees 30 minutes.
To describe the spectrum with as
little technical detail as possible, |
would say that ii consists of six bright
lines whose intensity varies IN diiter-
ent portions of the photograph there
by showing that the light of the meteor
changed as its image passed across the
plate.
THE approximate wave lengths u
these lines are 395f 412l, 4l95, 4344, 1886
and 4S57, and their intensities are esti-
mated at 40 100 ,, 49, 10 and 10. re-

animation of the photograph show an
important resemblance between me

ing the conditions Of temperature and
