tons were among his earliest works ot
importance, and it was his familiarity
with that difficult subject that led to his
selection by the foreign office for the post
at Washington. The arbitration treaty.
negotiated with Secretary Olnev was the
iorerunner of the great work accomplish
ed at The Hague, and it may be said that
IL embodied some of the most important
principles of the great general convention
regulating arbitration affairs framed by
The hague conference. Then came =
number OF reciprocity treaties and ar.
rangements involving a vast amount of
study and work, all of which were ner-
fected as far as the executive branch of
our government could cooperate with
Lord Pauncefote. Soon after Secretary
Hay assumed office Lord Pauncefote be
gan the task which ne himself regarded
as the greatest accomplishment of his
busy life, namely to forever set at rest
the questions growing out of the old
OIdyton-B ulwer treaty. and he entered
with energy again upon negotiations, the
result OF which was the framing of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty recently ratified.
For these valuable services the British
government did Lord Pauncefote the hon
or to three times extend the term of his
Office at Washington, which would other
wise have ceased when he attained the
age of 20 years.

COLLISION IN THE TUNNEL.

Seriously in New York City Wed
nesdaX.

Fifteen persons were killed and 81 were
injured in the railway tunnel in Park
avenue, near Fifty-siXth street Wednes-
day morning, when a Harlem local train
dashed into the rear end of a New Haven
accommoda ton train. Both trains were
filled with passengers in the rush of
travel from suburban homes to the city.
and were approaching the Grand Central
station, when the New Haven train was
stopped by a danger signal The Harlem
train ran past the signal and stopped
only when its locomotive had wrecked
two cars of the other train. The carnage
was confined to the New Haven train.
Most of the persons killed and injured
were in the rear car, which had been
opened for passengers at New Rochelle.
John NJ. Wisker. the engineer of the
Harlem train, was arrested and sent to
the TombS to await the result of cor
oner's inquest upon the bodies of those
killed In the collision. He was in such
pitiable condition of nervousness that
he was permitted only to say that he
did not see one of the warning signals
on account of the large amount of steam
and smoke in the tunnel. His fireman,
who was arrested with him and was re-
leased on bail. said he saw the signals.
District Attorney Jerome made a pre-
liminary investigation and assigned an
assistant to aid in the corOners inquest.
IL was on Mr.. Jerome's advice that Cor
oner Scholer decided to hold the accused
engineer without bail The district attor-
ney caused measurements and tests 10 be

may have important bearing upon the
result of the investigation.

Why Leaves Change Color.

Probably not one person in a thou
sand knows just why leaves change
their color in the fall, says an eminent
botanist in the Washington Star. The
green matter in the tissues of a leaf
is composed of two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow
in the autumn. the natural growth OF
the tree is retarded, and oxidation Of
the tissues takes place. Under GER
tain conditions the green of the leaf
changes to red; under different
aspects it takes on yellow or brown
hue. The difference in color is due
to the difference in combinations of
the original constituents Of the green
tissues, and to the varying conditions
of climate exposure and so on. A
dry, hot climate produces more bril-
liant foliage than one that is damp and
COOL This is the reason that Ameri-
can autumns are so much more
gorgeous than those of England and
Scotland.
There are several things about
leaves. however, that even science
cannot explain. For instance, why
one of two trees growing side by side,
of the same age. and having the same
exposure, should take on a brilliant
red in the fall and the other should
turn yellow, or why one branch Of the
tree should be highly colored and the
rest of the tree have only a yellow
tint, are questions that are as i'm
possible to answer as why one mem
Der of a family should be perfectly
healthy and another sickly. Naples
and oaks have the brightest color

Bubbles on the Stream.

DuDDlGS vi tlC OlTGdTns
rs. L. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald
See the bubbles as they float on the
stream,
They are meni
You are there and moving swiftly on
your way;
| behold you pass, and then
Find myself peaceful eddy, and 1 stay
There and dream.
See the bubbles bursting ere they start;
See the bubbles that have troubles as
they go;
Each is some ones counterpart,
Each is doomed to veal or woe.
Some are carried with the current: some
are dashed
To destruction on the shores: some are
dashed
By the water, which is Fate.
And the bubble that is great
Oft is whirled around forever in some
dark, secluded pool,
While there's many a little fool
OF a bubble that goes floating smoothly
past.
All the bubbles are but men-some are
tossed
Fiercely out against distractions and are
lost;
Some are cast
In the stream where all is clear
And at last
Whether justly or unjustly It has got
Each frail bubble has to burst and dis
appear
Where they sparkle now and CLEAN
Others shall appear again;
The bubbles come and go upon the
stream
They are men.

The Everett Moore Syndicate of Cleve-

all the EVerett-Moore companies is not
less than 1925 100000. The bankers COM

Hepburn Canal Bill Passed.

The House passed the Hepburn canal
bill this afternoon by the overwhelming
vote of sos to ., a result so nearly unani-
nous as to determine beyond all question
the sentiment of the House on the propo-
sition that there shall be an isthman
canal, Significant as this vote was it
was hardly more significant than the vote
on the Panama amendment, which re-
ceived the support of 1902 members. A
week ago ii is doubtful whether any
other route than the Nicaragua route
could have received a dozen votes. The
debate for three days has disclosed a SEN
timent favorable to the consideration of
other projects which surprised even

of committing the United States irrevoca-
bly, to the Nicaraguan plan.
