1t was q most appalling accident, and
strong men whose humane instincts told
them to lend aid had to turn away from
the sickening sight utterly helpless. As
the car shot from the tracks it turned
over and over as it descended an al
most perpendicular incline.
Tacoma citizens, old and young, hasten
cd to the scene of the catastrophe to give
their aid. Victims of the wreck were
extricated with the greatest difficulty.
They were strewn along or the grass and
later drawn to the top of the gulch with
the aid Of lowered ropes.
Hacks, express wagons and even pri-
vate cassi1ges were pressed into service
to convey the dead and wounded to
morgues or hospitals, as the cases indi-
Gated. When at last all had been re-
moved from the debris the places where
bodies had been taken for temporary
care were besieged by thousands of pco-
pie in search OF dear oncs who were on
the Inflated car. In some cases coun-
tenances were SO badly mutilated that

affair and was so crowded that men were
hanging to the ratings. All went we'll
until Apexa Hill, just beyond Tacoma
avenue, was reached. At this point It
is said that the motorman, instead Of
shutting off the current before attempt
ing to descend the hill, turned the cur

" heavy load reached n high momentum
and threatened to get away from his con-
troll he quickly turned off the current, but
1t was too late. AS the curve was struck
the car leaped from the rails and went to
destruction. Passengers on the front plat

jumped with only a bare chance of saw

jured, while some reached the ground in
safety.

KocA's VIEWS OF MALARIA
German Physician ON the Northern
Mans Foe In the Tropfcs.

German Physician OF the Northern
Mans Foo In the Tropics.
A consular report from Frankfort.
summarizes the recent lectures in which
DR.. Robert Koch, the most eminent Of
bacteriologists, developed his theory in
regard to malaria. The cable dis
patches have stated that he lays upon
mosquitoes the sole responsibility for
human sufferings from this disease,
but this was only one of many inter-
esting points in the lecture. Malaria,
said DIR. Koch, is the most serious of
all obstacles encountered by northern
races attempting to colonize the tropics,
and real success. will never be attained
until it has been vanquished. The NAL
ady, in various degrees Of severity, ex-
lists in all parts of the world, and its
exciting cause is always q parasite in
the human blood. The alternate rise
n fall OF the patients temperature
corresponds exactly with the changing
number Of these parasites, and by ex-
animation of the blood the progress
and stage of the disease can be def
nitely ascertained.
He has further succeeded in DEM
onstrating the exact moment for the
effective administration of quinine,
which does not kill the microbe, but
definitely checks and limits its power
OF reproduction. This discovery was
highly important, for as a result of it
the physician can, with reasonable GER
tainty, provide that the disease shall be
cured and not run to a fatal result. Just
as there is no locality exempt from ma
laria, so there is NJ race immune to it.
Negroes living on the coasts of tropical
countries are practically so, but ne
groes of the same ace from the noun
famous districts coming to the coast
are susceptible to the fever. The former
have, according to the opinion of DR..
Koch, acquired immunity through
slight malarial attacks during infancy
or youth. But, as there is naturally
produced immunity, it must be posi-
BILE, he says, to produce an artificial one.
The essential step in combating the
disease is for the patient to leave imme-
diately the malaria-infected district,
and be protected against mosquito
bites by prophylactic doses Of Quinine.
DIR. Koch believes that through his
studies of malarial disease in the local
tiles where its most intense and viru-
lent forms prevail the way has been
opened to new lines of study, and new
limits set to the dangers of the disease
itself. He closed his address with these
words: "To overcome this malady is
equivalent to the peaceful conquest of
the most beautiful portions of the
globc.'-New York Times.

SUN POWER IN WELL DIGGING
Machine for Making the Heat of the
Sun Pump Water.

NA0AAAk tAA0 1AG6S Va kAO
Sun Pump Water.
Many inventors have experimental
with the SUMS heat, with various OBJ
jects in view, and some have succeed
ed in making it produce steam and.
electric power, but not to much profit.
Now, however, 1t appears that William
Calver Of Washington has invented q
machine for doing practical work in
the arid districts. He is about to set
up one Of his sun power machines in
Arizona, near Phoenix, and dig wells
there.
His plan is to make the intense heat
of that hottest part of the United
States develop the power to pump up
water enough to irrigate all the barren
land.
Everybody knows what q transfer
nation a little water makes on n des-
ert, producing nm oasis of tropical YER
durc, while all beyond this watered
space is desolation and death. 1t is
usually so expensive to drill wells and
pump the water on a desert that 1t
does not pay to reclaim the waste land.
But If the overabundance of sunshine
on the desert can be utilized the prob
lem Is solved.
Mr.. Calver's machine consists of q
set of big mirrors and lenses. by which
he focuses the SUMS rays as n boy does
with a burning glass. The heat which
a be generated by Mr.. Calver's ma
chine is said to be equal to a furnace
for n %500-horse power boiler.
With such n power as this available
wherever one sees fit to set up his plant
1t is easy to see how well-drilling and
water pumping can be done on a large
scale. Biologists have found in recent
years that IL southwestern deserts
have almost numberless subterranean
streams flowing ut depths varying
from twenty-five to $50 feet below the
dry, parched surface of the earth. So
there need be no lack of water IL the
borings are intelligently directed.
The amount of arid lands which lie
in Arizona. New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Texas and Colorado is estimated to be
at least 50O,O0O.O00 acres. This is rem
dered useless by the need Of water,
and the reclamation Of this land would
add billions of dollars to the wealth of
the country.
In many sections Of Colorado and
other States in which irrigation is used
the best farming lands in the country
are those which were formerly worth
less and are now artificially watcred.
and the very finest crops in the land
are grown there.

Massacre of Every European in the

Emperor a Suicide, Empress Insane.

- 9kAASA0Gt G06 0eA
Three Chinese servants Of foreigners
.have, it is rtmored from a good source,
escaped from Pekin. They report that
all the foreigners, 1000 in number, in
Guiding 400 soldiers, 100 members of the
Chinese customs staff and a number Of
women and children. held out till their
ammunition was exhausted, in the Brit
ish legation. The legation. was finally
burned and all the foreigners were killed.
The Pekin city gates have been closed
and rioting is rampant. 1t is reported
that Kuang-Hsu and the dowager en-
press have been poisoned. Missionaries
anti all foreigners have been driven from
Tientsin.
The international movement for the re-
lief Of the foreigners penned in by muir
derous fanatics at Pekin is paralyzed. 1t
is officially admitted in London that the
allies at Tientsin are wholly unable to
advance, and, indeed, it appears that
large numbers Of Boxers imperil the
safety Of the troops themselves. They
showed themselves at the north Satur-
day, threatening to take the town, ana a
late dispatch from Shanghai says they
did take Tientsin, but this was rejected
in London.
. The attempt to relieve the hard-pressed
European garrison in Pekin has been
formally abandoned. The admirals have
met and decided that the weakness Of the
allied forces left no other course open.
The experiences which befell Admiral
Scymour's force practically decided tho
question Of relief. 1t was pointed out
that the Chinese had at that time in the
field only a fraction Of the large force
which now cuts off Tientsin from the
capital. Now this amounts to ut least
100000 men. nearly all of them well
armed. There are, in addition, no real
means of transport, and no food in the
country around, for it, is being laid
waste by flood and fire. The drinking
water is of the worst kind. Even If any
small force ever reached Pekin, it would
simply have to cut it's way buck with
the rescued garrison, if alive. 1t would
probably find this task too great in addi-
ton to the appronch to Pekin.
Emperor Kwang-Su committed suicide
June 10 by taking poison under compul-
sion of Prince Tuan. The empress dow
ager also took poison, but was still alive,
although reported to be insane from the
effects of the drug.

been insulted and that the outrage de-
manded exemplary punishment. The
Emperor has decided to send a division
Of 1900 men to China. The Berlin for
eign Office says that the first shot at Taku
was fred by the Chinese.
Chaos seems to prevail in Government
circles in Pekin. ,Rumors represent the
empress dowager as bereft of power and
Prince Tuan attempting to WELD the inn
pcrial scepters while Gen. Yung Lu is al-
legged to have declared that his soldiers
refuse to obey him. Other reports assert
that the empress dOwager and the en-
peror, fearful lest they lose their heads,
have fed westward. Little credence is
placed, however, in any of these reports.
The only reports from Pekin which are
regarded as trustworthy are those from
numerous sources affirming that the Ger
man minister, Baron Won Ketteler, has
been murdered. and all the legations, ex-
cept the British, German and French,
destroyed.
Admiral Kempff's dispatch confirming
the report of the murder Of the German
minister and declaring the situation at
Pekin desperate, with provisions nearly
exhausted, has aroused the officials at
Washington to renewed efforts. Secre-
taries Hay, Long and Root discussed ut
length the situation and a decision was
reached to increase promptly the Ameri-
can forces in China.
A dispatch estimates the total of the
Boxers force at $4,000. According to the
statement of the Chinese general staff,
the imperial army can be raised to a war
time strength Of 100000 men.
All the provinces south of the Yellow
river, whose viceroys and governors
maintain friendly relations with the pow
ers through the c%onsuls, have been in
formally constituted into a c%onfederacy,
with Nankin as the capital. According
to a cable from Shanghai, the southern
viceroys wholly disavow Prince Tuan's
government. They have practically con-
stituted an independent state, extending
from the Hoang-Ho to British and
French frontiers.
