Wilkesbarree, Pa., Nov 1.-The buf- falo express, on the Leh:gh Valley rail- road, which left New York last night ran into the New York 6: Pennsylvania express, going east on the Wllkesbarre mountain at o'clock this morning.
 The killed are William Toxheimer, fireman; Fred Chaser, fireman; J c McGregor, express messenger: Jacob Engleman, brakeman, and John Me Nally, engineer.
 Injured, D G PreRtes, engineer; c. Morgan express messenger; John Shan field, brakeman.
 A heavy wiud storm prevailed on the mountain last night, which caused the leave from the forest to accumulate on the track. The engine plowed into the leaves which clogged, breaking the ap paratus. The buffalo express, Tn charge of Engineer Robin, had orders to stop on siding, he discovered that he air baakes would not work The train was moving al the rate of about 8 miles an hour, down grade. The englneer whistled frantically for the hand brakes, reversed hIs engiae and stuck to his post but conld not avoid the collision. In lass than minute the express from the west, drawn by two heavy engines, hove in sight A terrible crash followed or a curve in cut Nearly all the passen- gers of both trains were asleep Many were thrown from their berths, but none were seriously injured.

One of the Schemes. of the Futuro Is
 Highly Aluring.
 One of the schemes for future cngi- neers to work at, says anarticle in Cur rent Literature, will be the sinking of a shaft twelve thousand to fifteen thousand feet into the earth for the purpose Of utilizing the central heat of the globe. It is said that such depth is by no means impossible, with the inn proved machinery and advanced meth ods of the coming engineer. Water at a temperature of two hundred degrees ccntigrade, which can, it is said, be ob- tained from these deep borings, would not only heat houses and public build ings, but would furnish power that could be utilized for many purposes. Hot water already at hand IS neces- sarily much cheaper than that which must be taken when cold and brought ID to the required temperature. Once the sbqit il sunk all cost in the item of the hot water supply ceases. The pipes, if good, will last indefinitely, and, as natures stolzers never allow the ire to go out, there would come in the train of this arrangement many ad- vantages. When, by sinking 0 shaft in the earth, we can secure a perpetual heating apparatus which we can regu.

A PECULIAR CARESS.

 Maoris of New Zealand Embrace and Rub
 Noses.
 There is ono habit which the Euro peans have not been able to introduce among tho Maoris, that of kissing; and when one looks at tho mouth of a na- tive woman it is evident, says Dem orest's Magazine, that an osculatory caress might not bc pleasant, for the lower lip is covered with tattooing on the inside, which must be very pain ful operation. Rut what will not a woman do to be in the fashion? In New Zealand a native woman would as soon think of dispensing with her tattooed under lip as an American belle would think of wearing an unfashion- able bonnet
 The natives arc very affectionatc, but have not learned tho habit of kissing; instead, thcy throw their arms around each other, and pressing their noses together move tHcir heads up and down, making at the same time a croUlinE sound which j. changed to szlt the occasion being aCurntul if muJual friend has died sine they last met, out always somewhat sad, for it is intended to convey the idea of the sorrow they have felt at their separa- ton. When two Maoris meet they stick their spears, or war clubs-the latter being also used as walking staffs in the ground, as sign that they are at peace with each other, and then throw their arms over each others shoulders and rub noses.

 No work is so truly an art work as that which was cast for love of art.

ERA IN CLOTHES.
Hndreds of Thriving Colonies Found in s
 Wcrstel StocSin~

Carlyle gave us tho philosophy of clothes; now Dr. Seitz, of Munich, giye1 Ea their bacteriology. On examining rorsted stocking, says the British Med. ical Journal, he found nine hundred and 1fty-cight thriving colonies, while on B cotton sock there were seven hundred and twelve. Both these articles had tseen worn, but no information is vouch- aAfcd es to the personal habits of the wcarer. Thirty-three colonies were found on a glove, twenty on piece of woolen stuff and nine on a piece Of worn. On piece of cloth from gar mcnt which had been worn q week there were tvcDty-threG colonies. Of the mic-o-orgauislas found on articles of clothing relatively few were capable of CGu-iug disease. The p2thogenic species were almost without exception staphylococci
 In one case, however, Dr. Soitz found the typhoid bacillus in articles of cloth ing from twcnty-one to twenty-seven days, and the staphylococcus pyogenes albus nineteen days after they had been worn. The anthrax bacillus found in clothes was still virulent after year. The microbc of crysipclas, on the other hand, could not be found after eighteen hours, nor the cholera vibrio after three days. Dr. Scilz studied with special care the question whether in tuber- culous.subjects who swcatcd profusely the bacillus was conveyed by the per- EOirafiOO tO q DiOpo ,7f li0aT 1,-orr, foy some time next the skin of the chest.
