An interesting and significant fact
lie that the average hourly number OF
meteors is only half as great in the
evening as in the morning. ane in the
evening their velocity is lower. says
Pref. c. A. YouAg in the New Lippin-

This increase in the numbers and

SAFETY OF THE LEGATIONS
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page)
 Negotiations between the powers have
 brought out mutual assurances that the
 military expeditions to China are for | the sole purpose of relieving the lega-
 tions, and that there is no intention to
 partition China. Hence should China
 agree to deliver the ministers alive, no power will have reason for continuing
 aggressive military operations except
 Germany, whose minister Is undoubted- ly dead and even Germany, to quote high British official, will have to fore go the emperors assertion that he
 would not stop till the German flag floated over Pekin."
 l As for the other powers, 1t is emphat- ically stated that they have unanimous ly agreed that with the safe delivery of the ministers the aggressive campaign ends. All rumors of an international agreement regarding the future of Chi na subsequent to the return of the min isters are false. The agreement is pure | ly negative and based upon the lines stated by Secretary Hay, of which the independence and integrity of the Chi nese empire are essential features. If the imperial edict proves true the pow ers while holding their forces In read mess to enforce demands, will accept pecuniary indemnity. No territorial propositions will be considered In com- mon with the other powers, Germany must through arbitration or otherwise gauge the damages by the loss of the life of her minister by a pecuniary stan dard. The same rule will apply as to the Joss of other lives and destruction of property.
 At the Chinese legation the Associat- ed Press correspondent was informed that no further news from China had been received to-day. and that it was expected that the ministers would soon be sent to Tien Tsin. Secretary Lew expressed unstinted praise of the atti- tude of the United States secretary of state, Colonel Hay, and declared his implicit belief that the ministers were safe. He said the negotiations with the powers on behalf of China had all been entrusted to the Chinese minister at Washington, Wung Ting Fang. Secretary Lew professed utter ignor- ance of their progress. It may with safety be stated that should the minis ters prove to be alive the Chinese gov ernment will to some extent use them as lever to compel European and Amer ican missionaries and commercial en- terprises to moderate their activity, if not to withdraw from the empire en- tirely
 On this point William Pritchard Nor gan, who is in close touch with the Chi nese minister, said to the Associated Press correspondent that he had good reason to believe the Chinese govern ment had entrusted or would entrust Ii Hung Chang with the mission of saying to the powers:
 Look here: If you withdraw your missionaries and give up your conces- sions we will be willing to give ample pecuniary remuneration for your losses. We will then deliver your ministers, ex- cept Germanys alive. Well, if you

reckless. A person addicted to the hab- 1t always has a languid feeling that IS markedly evidenced in the dropping eye and the enrvous body. And in the rail- road business one must always have 0 clear brain, strong nerve and healthy body to properly carry out his duties. As in the case of dispatcher who has the running of trains, human life de- bends upon him, and clear head IS absolutely necessary. While the rule adopted by the Rock Island road IS somewhat an innovation, we are coni1- dent that 1t will prove successful. The effect of 1t can readily be seen; 1t will not take long for other roads to follow in the steps of the Rock Island system If the rule should be adopted by all the railroad systems in this country and Canada, the cigarette habit will no doubt receive a death blow. w.-Chicago Tribune.

PRATT & WHITNEY PLAN

New York, July 24.-This evening { Mail and Express says: Several of the largest stockholders of the Pratt X Whitney company are understood to be very strongly opposed to the plan of consolidation with the Niles Bement- Pond company, which is to be acted up on tomorrow They claim that the eventually, If carried out, will work to the disadvantage of the present hold CTS of Pratt-Whitney stock.
 The project includes the incorporation of a company under New Jersey laws with capitalization of S2,750 0000, Each holder of the preferred of the present Pratt & Whitney company is to re- ceive $70 of new preferred and $3 in cash while each holder of $100 of old common gets $10 in cash. Furthermore the Niles s-Bement-Pond company guar antees cumulative interest at the rate of 6 per cent. upon the preferred stock. after it has been reduced to 70 per cent. of the amount now outstanding.
 Dissatisfaction over the features of the plan has led to some selling of Pratt & Whitney preferred stock. The market for it is very inactive one, but while it is offered around 50, not better than 35 is bid for any considerable amounts Odd lots have recently brought 50. The total number of shares on the market at present is probably not more than 300 tO 400

 Plainville, July 24.-The attendance at the Plainville camp meeting to-day, the second day, was increased to large number, especially from the towns in the vicinity of Plainville.
 Never before so early in the week have there been so many clergymen on the grounds as now. In fact, there is unmistakable evidence of new in terest in the grounds Many strange faces are seen, all of which indicates that the attempt of Presiding Elder Adams to get as many as possible of the church people in his charge to come to the grounds has been fruitful.
 The first chidren's service was held to-day, and the number of little folks who assembled at the Meriden house, directly after dinner, was larger than last year on the opening day Miss Gladwin was there, but this year not as leader but as an assistant to the Rev. Mir Hubbard of West Granby, who introduces an interesting novelty which he terms sermon building, illus
 
 each of which has in its religious sig nif1cance a relation to the whole truth it is sought to convey to the young and impressionable minds
 The sermon this afternoon was preached by the Rev. B. B, Brown Of Middefield, and the seats were well filled before the chorus had completed it's preliminary praise service.
 This evening the preacher was the Rev. O. w. Snodgrass of Unionville.
 The programme for Wednesday is as follows:

1t Was Received Recently by David
 Sheehy of Waterbury.
 American soldiers who are doing service in distant climes have sent to their friends in this country numerous curios but among the most unique articles is one received by David Eheehy, Baldwin street saloonkeeper, within the last few days from Darby Rourke, who formerly lived on Bald win street, but who is now in Uncle Sam's army doing service in the Phil ippines.
 The article is a human skull and Is said to have belonged to one of the fla mous leaders of the insurrection. The story which accompanied the article is that while cut hunting for Filipinos MT. Rourke and several others discovered the skeleton of a man. Various things discovered near the body led to the be- lief that the man was an officer in Aguinaldo's army. bullet hole through the breast bone showed how the man met his death.
 Rourke took the skull and kept 1t un- til a soldier was allowed home on a Frrlough He asked him to take 1t to Sheehy, which he did. Sheehy was nat urally startled when he received the ar ticle, but realizing that 1t was a good nucleus for a museum decided to keep it. 1t is now on exhibition at his place of business.--Waterbur American
