MOMENTUM OF RAILWAY CARS
AS It Was SingulArIy illustrated an
the Wreck of n Passenger Train
at Toledo, Ohio.

The momentum OF a train of heavy
passenger coaches and PuIlmans is
well known to railroad men, but its
potential power is not realized by lay
men not initiated into the mysteries
OF car construction, says the Chicago
Chronicle. A passenger coach is sew
eral times as heavy as a freight car,
and but little lighter than locomo-
tive.
The dynamic force developed in the
impact when a train of coaches and
sleepers going at the rate OF so miles
per hour, strikes an obstacle was man.
lfested in peculiar manner some time
ago IN Toledo, where a wreck occurred
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
railroad. Half a dozen cars loaded
with wheat were standing on a side
track, when fast train came plunging
along. The switchman was at the
switch trying to close it, and until
the train was few rods away hoped
to succeed in time to avert a crash
But he failed and the thousands of
pounds of steel and iron dashed past
him before he was able to give warn
ing signal.
Less than so yards from the switch
stood the cars of wheat. Before the
engineer had time to reverse the lever,
there was a crash, and a grinding and
crunching of timbers Neither the en-
gineer nor fireman attempted to Jump
They staid at their posts, and to this
they owe their lives.
The high rate of speed at which the
train was running and the heavy
weight behind the engine drove it along.
The front trucks became dislodged,
and wedging these under the end of the
first freight car, an inclined plane was
formed by the engine, up which the
huge mechanism ran on through the
end of the box car. 1t began to burrow
its way through the wheat. BY the
time the engine had reached the fur
Their end of the car, the wheat cars were
under way, and they started down the
track. The impact had transferred
all the momentum to the freight cars
on the track not much the worse for
the collision.
When the wrecking crew appeared
on the scene, a sight such as none had
ever seen before met the eyes of the
startled men. Half mile from the
train of passenger cars was the engine,
hidden in a box car. The side of the
car was there, and the engine, with
the exception of the cowcatcher, the
forward trucks and the smokestack,
stood quietly in the car, almost hid
den from sight. The top of the cab
was broken down, imprisoning the en-
gineer and stoker, but neither of them
was harmed.
The total damage amounted to about
$500, the small amount being due to
the fact that none of the cars left the
track. The enormous expenditure of
energy had been accomplished by fore
ing the engine into the car and starting
the cars down the track. Railroad men,
who came to look at the wreck, said
unanimously they had never seen nor
heard of a similar freak of engine and
cars. The wreck occurred after dark
and before morning the wreckage was
cleared away, making it impossible
for photographs to be taken.

MANS MOST SENSITIVE POINT.
When the Tip of the Tongue Is
Touched the Whole Body
Thrills.

The tip of the tongue possesses the
most perfect sense of touch. The finest
hair is felt upon it's surface, and even
when fingers fail to ascertain the quail
tiles of certain bodies, contact with
the tongue Immediately recognizes
them. The relative sensibility of va
rious parts of the body is best meas
ured by means of pair of compasses,
the points of which are tipped with
cork. The tip OF the tongue can dis
tinguish two distinct impressions when
the compass PORTS are only half line,
or the twelfth of an inch, apart, the
tip of the finger when they are one
line apart. Other spots, says scien-
tific exchange, vary still more widely;
this distance at the lips is two lines;
the tip of the nose, three lines; the
cheek, five lines; palm of the hand.
five lines; forehead, ten lines; back
of the hand. IA lines; chest, 20 lines;
back and thigh, 30 lines.
If, however, this experiment is re-
peGted with a pair of compasses capa-
bic by slight pressure Of pricking, it
viii b. found that there is no CORE
spoUdirg difference between the parts
III their sensibility to pain. On the
contrary, in places where the sense of
touch is most keen, the sense of pain
is in the first instance at least dead
ened, and the parts most callous in
discriminating the double touching
points are by no means the least alive
to the sensation excited by their pres
sure. The tip of the tongue has so
times the tactile discrimination of the
arm, but the arm is more sensitive to
a sharp point, applied with moderate
pressure to the skin, than either the
tongue or the finger, and is at least as
alive to the presence of very light
body, a hair, or feather, drawn along
the surface. CurioUsly enough, the
right HAND, which is more sensitive to
touch than the left, is less sensitive to
temperature. If the two hands are
dipped in two basins of water at the
same temperature the left hand will
feel the greatest sensation of heat.
