TRAIN Of OIL CARS ABLAZE.
SET A SMALL TOWN AFIRE.
Moving Train Broke in Two and the
Two Sections Came Together and
Oil EXpIOdcd-stream of Blazing
Oil Run Into New Jersey Town.

! New York, March ga river of
flaming oil swept down upon the little
village of Glengarden, N. j., while its
inhabitants were alseep Sunday morn
ing and reduced II buildings, stores
and residences to ashes. The conflagra-
ton was extraordinary in character
and in it's origin.
The village is in a valley along the
line of the Jersey Central railroad. An
immense freight train was coming east
at $50 a. m. 1t was composed of a
string of coal cars and 10 tank cars.
High above the village the track of the
railroad run along the side of a noun
tain. They descend as they approach
the village, but even at the station are
considerably above the main street,
which runs up to the depot at a steep
incline.
A few miles west of the village, while
coming down the incline around the
mountain, the train parted. The engi-
neer on the forward end pulled open
the throttle of the engine and tried to
race away from the section, which was
luSl lIS Sp6tu SFClf oCCOIlu. IlO
managed to keep clear of the racing
cars until he got opposite the depot at
Glengarden, when the second section
smashed into the first. The first sec
ton, composed of coal cars, was going
at high rate of speed and none Of its
cars were jolted off the track. The for
ward car, one of the oil tanks of the
railway section, was hurled sidewise
across the track and the tank cars be-
hind were piled upon top of it in every
way. The first crash caused the oil in
one of the tanks to explode and ignite
and the terrific heat caused the other
cars to explode, one after the other.
The incline running from the depot to
the main street acted as a sluice for the
burning oil and it poured into the chief
thoroughfare of the village, setting fire
to everything it touched. Houses,
fences, trees, shrubbery and barns were
reduced to ashes in an incredibly short
time.
Villagers awakened by the explosion
rushed from the oncoming flood of blaz-
ing oil, carrying children in their arms.
Some risked their lives to free horses,
COWS and dogs in outbuildings, but 9th
err unfortunate animals could not be
reached in time and were burned.
Within five minutes after the first eX-
plosion the flowing river of oil had
reached Masonic temple in the heart of
the village and 10 minutes later that
structure was enveloped in flames.
Then building after building ignited
after the oil reached them, and within
half an hour the area of 400 feet square
was mass of flame. From the wreck
ed cars the oil also flowed down the in
cline of the railroad track, making
long line of fire that destroyed the ties
and bent and twisted rails. Loss, $685.
900 to $4,000.

ED WARD VII.

The queen is dead. Long live the king! All eyes are now turned toward Edward VII. He is by no means an unknown quantity and there is good reason to expect that he will take up the work his mother has laid down and carry it on successfully. He made his just what it ought to have been He is a man of brains and tact, and has had will not be strange to him. Many good judges of the situation expect him to become a very influential factor in Eng lands affairs. Alfred Harmsworth takes an interesting view of him, as follows: Were one to search for type of rep resentative head of a commercial na- ton such as ours at time when the whole world is struggling for business supremacy one could not find in one man greater tact, sounder common sense and ampler capacity for the eighteen-hour working day than Ed ward, the clear-headed. Fine speaker, able correspondent. diplomatist in four languages, proved organizer, he is every inch business king"
 King Edward VII. comes to the throne in a troublous time. His England is not merry. it is not at peace, and it is not as prosperous as it has been. His reign cannot be as long as his mother s was and it is not likely to be as glori- ous. But he can do his duty like man and king, and he gives evidence of a firm intention to do 1t.

A BENGAL KITE.
The Willy Scheme of Native Kite
 Sawyer.
American

The Willy Scheme of Native Kite
 Sawyer.
 Oriental methods differ considerably from those of this country, even in so small a matter as the making of a Kite. Naturally, environment has a deal In this case perhaps alto do with the matter. An English boy flies his Kite in the fields, with plenty of room TOT a long run and plenty of energy to be spent in the enjoyment of the run. HIS kite is a heavy, well made affair, with a good long tail, and with wings or tas- sells on it's sides. To the laths used in it's construction is attached stout twiHe, sometimes even string, as such kite will take a considerable amount Of holding in a good breeze. Perhaps the excitement of getting the kite to ny is the most exhilirating feature, but there is a great pleasure, even to boys of a larger growth, in watching the gy- rations of a kite in the heavens. A good deal of science or knack, too, is neces- sary to be a successful kite-fiier, and much may be learned concerning one of the greatest forces-wind-from such a simple amusement.
 However, this is digressng from my subject. In the East it is all so differ ent. As stated, environment makes it. self even still more felt in the matter of the making of a Bengal kite. We do not fly our kites in the fields in Ben gall no, kite flying must be done in a far less bosterous manner, from the coolest and most common resort. the housetops. This necessitates kite so constructed that practically no run is wanted; it is, of course, necessary that the minimum of precipitation be pro- duced. So the kite Is made tailless and wingless, of tissue paper and thin slips of bamboo, this latter material being a local growth. It is flown with with cotton or thread instead of string, and will ascend in the faintest breeze.
 The Bengali kite is constructed in the most characteristic Nstless Oriental fashion-merely a square of tissue pa per, the side of it measuring twelve, or at the most fifteen, inches i'll length, along one diagonal of which is gum med very thin slip of bamboo, form ing the length of the kite. From corner to corner of the width another slip of bamboo is attached, but this time bent to a semi-circle forming the length of the kite From corner to corner of the width another slip of bamboo is at tached. but this time bent to semi circle formed inside the square. The difference in appearance from the Eng fish kite IS that in the latter the semi circle is formed outside the square. This

THE PAROLE SYSTEM.

During the four years in which he was governor of Michigan MT Pingree paroled 297 prisoners, and he has re- cently said: "If there is any one thing that I should be criticised on it is be- cause I did not parole more prisoners, and if I had had the time to do it my self or the money to hire other persons to investigate the cases for me should have paroled many more There are other governors who believe in the parole system, though none has used it as Governor Pingree did. Governor Rogers of Washington reports that the parole system is working well in his State. The Washington system is simi- lar to that which was adopted some years ago in Michigan. It's privileges are extended only to those convicts who are serving their first term, whose an- tecedents and history seem to promise some hope of reform, and whose con- QuCL dL lcdsL OiiC JC1i NpihiiiS
 ment has made a favorable impression on the penitentiary warden. Before he is paroled the prisoner must have the assurance of steady employment, and must have enlisted the interest of some first friend" of approved responsibility who agrees to supervise and advise him and become, to a certain extent, respon- sible for his good conduct. When re- leased, he promises not to leave the State, not to change his occupation or location without permission, to make monthly detailed reports of his progress, and to hold himself ready to return to the prison at the governors command.
 Governor Rogers has paroled only six teen men in two years, and but two of those have proved unworthy.
