An annular eclipse of the sun is down
on the program of the astronomers to come
off next Monday, the lst of February,
visible in North America south of a line
through Boston, Memphis and Lapaz
Lower California. 1t will also be visible
from any point in South America except in
Patagonia, and from the eastern edge OF
Australia and from the countless islands in
the Pacific ocean, so that there win doubt
less be a large attendance of interested
spectators at this interesting exhibition
The NeW York Journal, however, points
out that with the exception of narrow
path only 40 miles wide, the eclipse will
be only partial. The path in which the
eclipse will appear an annual one to the
mundane observer extends from the north
ern point Of New Zealand across the Pacific
ocean and through the northwestern corner
of South America. In this section the OBJ
scuration of the SUMS disk will be slight
beginning at about 4.50 p. m. or shortly be-
fore sunset. If the sky is clear it may BE-
observed without the aid of smoked glass
for the reason that the sun will be SO Low
10 the western horizon that the intervening
haze and thick atmosphere win possibly
render the use Of smoked glass unneees

Coal Dust a Dangerous Element.

An instance of the ignition of coal
dust by the suns rays is reported in
the Gluckauf, German authority.
1t appears that the surface works of
the Maybach colliery, near Friedrich
stahl, in the Saar district, are chiefly
of iron; and on certain Orders the
floating dust, due TO the tipping OF
coal on to the jigging screens, becomes,
in course of time, deposited in layer
more than an inch thick. On work
man burning his hand, while repairing
q pipe running through the corrugated
iron forming one of the south walls,
the official inquiry showed that the
layer of coal dust had been formed
along the whole length of the wall, and
although the dust contained proper
ton of pulverized rock, the metal
plates heated by the sun had ignited
it, the layer of white ash on the top
proving that it had burned for a con-
siderable period. The circumstances
affords fresh proof of the ease with
which coal dust may be brought to ig-
milton, also possible explanation of
fires at similar surface workshops.

Earache.

Earache is such common symptom,
especially in children, that domestic
remedies are often used until the
disease demands the advice of q
specialist. By that time, often great
harm has been done, and perhaps Sc
rious consequences have resulted.
DIR. +. w. Hinkel calls attention to
the grave significance of earache, and
the importance of early treatment
Earache in children may be the first
indication of an approaching menin-
gifts.
An earache should not be passed
over with superficial examination,
but the child should be given hot foot
baths and put to bed. The bowels
should be freely acted on. Hot, dry
applications are better than moist
ones. 1t is better not to instill solu-
tons of laudanum, morphia, or CO.
caine into the ear. Opiates, too, often
mask the pain and conceal the real
trouble. Delays are dangerous, and
in case of approaching rupture, the
tympanum should be freely incised.
No physician should ever hesitate to
call in an aurist when in doubt. New
York Ledger.

Let MS sing Of the sheaves, when the
summer is done,
And the gamers are stored with the
gifts of the sun.
Shouting home from the fields, like
the voice of the sea,
Let us join with the reapers in glad
jubilee
Harvest home
FOR the smile Of the sunshine, again
and again,
For the dew on the garden, the show
a ers on the plain,
For the year, with its hope and its
st promise that ends,
Crowned with plenty and peace, let
thanksgiving ascend,
Harvest home
We shall gather harvest of glory we
know,
From the burrows of life where in pa
thence we SOW.
Buried love in the field of the heart
never dies,
And its seed scattered here will be
sheaves in the skies.

FAST TRAINS THE SAFER.
Reasons Why They Xii Fewer Persons
Than the Slower Trains.

''There seems to be an impression,
said railway superintendent, speak
ing of the fast service the railways are
now giving, ''that the fast trains are
the most dangerous for people to ride
on, and that more persons are killed
in crossing tracks, &C., than by the
trains which are slower. This is
mistake.
"The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has given the matter special at
tention, and has statistics to show
that, in proportion to the fast and slow
trains run, more accidents have occur
ed to the slow trains and more per-
sons not in the employ of the COM
pany killed by the slower trains.
Men in charge of fast passenger or
freight trains are constantly on the
watch for danger. The engineer feels
that there is more at stake, and one
will notice that the blasts of his
whistle are more frequent and sharper;
that the fireman is more particular to
ring the bell when passing through
town or city near highway cross
ing. 1t would be difficult to find
people living on the lines of the roads
which run fast trains that have not
heard of the Chicago limited on the
Pennsylvania lines, the fast express
No. 2, between st. Louis and New
York, over the Vandalia and Pennsyl-
vania lines; the Empire State Express,
the Knickerbocker on the Big Four,
and the hundreds of other fast trains.
Fast trains are run nearer on time,
and people know their time and keep
out of the way. The equipment of
the fast trains is kept at the best
standard, and everything conduces
to make them safer to ride ON and less
liable to iniure people at highway
crossings and in passing through
towns and cities. The Pennsylvania
transportation department is fully
satisfied that the above statement is
correct"
The same remark will apply to the
freight service. In 1888 twelve miles
an hour was considered the highest
speed limit for a freight train, and J.
j. Turner, when superintendent of the
Indianapolis division OF the Panhandle,
was the first to increase the speed of
freight trains in this section, schedul-
ing train at sixteen miles an hour be-
tween indianapolis and Columbus.
Competitors soon took similar action
and increased the speed of the fast
freights to eighteen miles an hour,
then to twenty miles, which was the
maximum for through freight trains
for several years, but with the better
track and better locomotives some Of
the roads are scheduling freight trains
at twenty three to twenty-five miles AN
hour, using the schedules of passenger
trains during the seventies and eight.

Ing. wefting. milling and finishing
occupied three hours and fifteen
minutes at another while the making
up took two hours and twenty min
utes. and the suit was worn on the
afternoon of the day on which the
wool was clipped. A similar expert
ment was made some sixty years ago
at Ettrick Mills, when the wool was
spun on the old nd-jennies and
woven on hand looms. AT that thine
jacket and vest were completed in
sixteen hours, and in those days in
was deemed remarkable perfors

be that the profit Of it will net be-
wholly with the dealers. Dried fruit
sells at about half the price that
canned fruit commands, and it will 60
five times farther. When such .
reason will not appeal to a house
keeper the fact that it is superior to
canned goods on account of the mod
ern processes will make some inn
preston. In California they have
learned to prepare prunes so well that
large quantities are shipped to France,
the home Of the prune, while Califor-
MIA raisins have practically driven for
eign raisins out of the market. and
thousands of pounds of apricots and
pears go to Europe.
A remarkable feature of Queen Vic
toria's reign is the great number of
wars, 'little and big" that have
marked its progress. Scarcely
twelve-month has passed withons
finding war in some part of the
world. Here is an interesting list of
the principal campaigns: Afghan
war, 1S38-4O; first Chinese war, 1841;
Sikh war, 1856; Kaffir war, 1856;
second war with China, second Afghan
war, 1849, second Sikh war, 1848-49;
Burmese war, 1850; second Kaffir war,
185l-52; second Burmese war, 1928;

1868; Indian mutiny, 1857; Maori
war, 1S60-61; more wars with China,
1860 and 1862; second Maori war,
1896; Ashantee war, 1864; war in

Afghan war, 187S-S0; war in Basuto-
land, 1879-S1; Transvaal war, 1S79-S1;.
Egyptian war, 1882; Zanzibar, $780,;
Matabele wars, 1894 and 1896; Chitral
campaign, 1896; third Ashantee CAM

''There is a strong sentiment in our
part of the State for division of Cali
fornia so as to give Southern Califor-
MIA seperate Statehood" said j. N.
Hazard, of Los Angeles, Cal, recent
ly. "This desire arises from no fric-
ton or iealousies between the two
ends of the Commonwealth, and least
of all is it based on any scheme to
give the politicians additional spoils
from the public crib. 1t isn't politi-
cal greed or the. outgrowth of ill-feel-
ing, but arises purely from economic
necessities. In the southern part we
feel the need of State government of
our own. We have in reality but little
in common with the northern end.
Our interests are quite as distinct
from that section as they are from Ore
gon, and we are financially and indus
trially as independent as Oregon. We
have also have a new population that
is distinct from the population OF
Northern California as it is from New
York. For these and other reasons
we aspire to Statehood. There is
plenty of territory for two prosperous
and powerful States, and think the
division is certain to come about.

Cast Iron Dogs and Bogus Statues.

For us, in America, it would per-
haps have been better if the gardens
of Italy did not exist to enthrall the
traveller with their sensuous charms,
for to them we owe the unhappy at
tempts at limitations which find ex-
preston in the cheap substitutes for
real magnificence-the zinc statutes,
the fountains in which the feeble
stream seems glad to hide itself in the
cast iron basins, the stays and ferocious
mastiffs in bronzed iron, the century
plants in cheap vases, the bogus
statues, ugly pavilions, and summer
houses which seem necessary adjunct
to our private gardens and public
parks. --Architectural Review.
