Reading, Pa, May ia collision of

Harrisburg which was crowded with
eXcursionists, who had been to the state
capital to witness the ceremonies in
connection with the unveiling of the
Hartrandt monument. Many of the
Harrisburg passengers at Reading went
aboard the Philadelphia express, but It
being found that all could not be ac-
commodated. it was decided to send an
extra train to Philadelphia, to run as
the second section of the express. The
extra train left twenty minutes later
than the express.
At Exeter the express stopped for
orders. and while standing still the
extra train crashed into it while moving
at great speed. Three of the rear cars
of the express We're telescoped, and the
first car of the extra train was also
wrecked. The passengers in these cars
We're terribly mangled, many being

Manila May Il (via Hongkong).-The
First regiment, Nebraska volunteer in
fantry, is taking the unusual step OF
respectfully petitioning the division
commander, Major General Macarthur,
TO temporarily relieve them from duty
at the front. The regiment is badly
exhausted by the campaign in which II
has taken an active part, and not many
more than 800 men of The organization
are at present fit for duty. On Sunday
last 100 men of this regiment responded
20 the sick call.
The men, in view Of the facts, have
prepared a respectful memorial to Gen
eral Macarthur, asking that their regi-
ment be withdrawn for a short time
from the fighting line, in order that
they may recuperate. The memorial
states that the men are willing 10 fight,
but are in no condition to do so, ow-
ing to the strain OF long marching. con-
tinual fighting ana outpost dutT in

Many Soldiers In Hospital.

Five volunteer regiments and the
Utah battery Of artillery are at san
Fernando. They muster in al about
$500 men. Many Of the soldiers are
in hospitals, suffering from heat or
other causes. The wounded were all
suffering acutely, and showed the ef-
fects of exposure u the sun when they
arrived. Three days rest has already
worked wonders.
Since the army entered Malolas the
soldiers have haG little wafer to drink,
except that brought on railway trains
from Manila, and that was of poor
quality. The artesian wells ut San
Fernando are doing much towards
making the men cCntented.

WATCHES IN THE PAwNsHoPs.
Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.

Always the First Articles to Be Pledged
 in Distress.
 Most people suppose, said a down, town pawnbroker, the other evening, according to the Baltimore News, that when a man goes broke the first thing he thinks of pawning is his dress suit, but that's not so. While there might be some that do this, they are few and far between By long odds, the great majority of those in distress first put up their watches. In big ,ity like this, with clocks on every hand, watch is almost an unneces- sary luxury on the street, and so this IS the first article pawned. Watches ase, so to speak, drug in the pawn shop. We get so many of them that We often wonder where they come from You might think that we never would have occasion to lend money on wedding rings, but you would be wrong, for we have several of them now. A woman must be in distress to pledge her wedding ring, and yet 1t is often done. We have engagement rings, too, but not so many in num- Der as wedding rings. Sometimes men pawn engagement rings. We simply take that as a sign that they have broken an engagement, but when a woman comes to us with one of them we know she needs money. I've made quite a study of pawnshops, contin- ded the broker, and I find that in the majority of cases the dress of tue per- son asking for a loan on some article has great deal to do with the amount received. If the pawnbroker sees a well-dressed person m front Of i'm he will naturally argue that he ol she is a little short of funds for the [ me be- ing but will return and take the article out of pledge in few days. If on the contrary, the person asking loan be poorly dressed, there is little chance that he or she will get a fair amount on it. In the latter case the pawn broker usually offers only what he thinks the article will bring at private or public sale, with the amount of hIs interest deducted"

Not z. .Introduetlon.

T have shaken hands with one oi your presidents said an English lady recently. chatting with a young Amer ican on her travels. My sister and l were in Washington, and we heard that one could simply go to the White House, with no formalities, and go in and shake hands with the president, and we thought we would do it. There was a crowd of people and we passed in in line, and shook hands, and passed out again. It was very odd Of course, we knew it was not an introduction Our friends were quite angry. We are very well known (this was said with entire simplicity, merely as mentioning an undoubted fact) "and they said we should have procured presentation through our embassy. Indeed they did not like it at all" But why?" inquired the American girl, rather puzzled. "Oh" rejoined the nnglish- woman, laughing, it was certainly mira dig; and then it was not a real introduction, don't you know. We en- joyed it-but it's surely a very odd custom of yours, eh?9 Her tone, as she narrated the little incident, was exactly that of a lively schoolgirl. re- lating some harmlessly audacious escapade for which she can feel as sured of the family forgiveness, though scarcely of the family approval. Our hand-shaking habits are sometimes criticised from within, as well as from without. Much promiscuous hand- shaking is certainly an infietior to which it seems rather a 'Nsurd and un- fair to subject man With so many outies of high importance to attend to as the head of our nation. Neither is such a reception of the general public a particularly graceful or impressive function. NeYertb eless, it stands for some things in our national ideals neither paltry nor undignified and woe unto the political party under whose auspices the custom should happen to be discontinued

NEW RANGE FINDERS.
Which the Government May Adopt fol
 the Navy.


 the Navy.
 One of the first unwelcome discov- cries made by the officers on the Amer ican warships at the outbreak of the war with Spain was that the mechan- ical range finders with which the Americans ships were equipped were practically useless in an actual en- gagement None of the range finders produced by inventors attempting to overcome the evils of the present sys- tenn have as yet been adopted, and it Is not likely that the government will be in any hurry to adopt any. l. is known, however, that many of the of kcers who have witnessed the prelim- mary tests of an instrument just de- vised by a young engineer in the navy have been favorably impressed with the simplicity. strength and accuracy of the appliance. In it's general prin- ciple this new range finder is quite like one now in use in the French army, except for variations necessary to meet the different conditions of ma rine warfare. In the present device q cube of glass about two feet long is painted on one side with silhouettes oi objects of various shapes and sizes from ships to forts. This glass cube is mounted on a sliding scale marked off in yards and feet In order to get the range of all object it is only necessary for the person using the instrument to move the glass cube up or down the scale as the case may be until the o0- ject to be attacked is the same size as the corresponding Ggure on the glass. The number on the sliding scale op- posite which the glass cube stopped ls .he distance of the object from the point of observation. The elevation of the point of attack is then figured by a comparison of the distance with the dimensions of the figure on the cube to Aneh the point of attack was brought Dagree. This method of determining range is still crude, but it is certainly original, and many naval officers Say that it can in time unquestionably ee developed into very ingenious ant expeditions method of arriving at the distance and height of the object to be fired upon.

Magnetic Disturbances in Russ.e

The Russian province of Kursk proves to be one of the most remarka> ble areas of magnetic disturbances yet known. Mir. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and obser- ration are so great that it is not pos sible to draw isomagnetic lines, and the magnetic force is as great as it would be in the immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from 48 to 79 degrees At two points, about 450 yards apart, the declinations are minus II degrees aid plus 45 degrees, and the variation at two places about mile and a quar- ter apart is from minus 34 degrees to plus 96 degrees. Nothing near the sur- face to cause these anomalies is knowa 10 exist.
