When n Locomotive Blows Up.

81 am one of the very few persons
who ever saw locomotive blow up"
remarked an old railroad man the
other day. Generally the men who
witness the explosion of a steam en-
gine are SO dead when the smoke has
cleared away that they are never able
to give an account of the disaster.
Like many other accidents, the one
| saw was the result of carelessness-
low water in the boiler, for the en-
gine had just come from the shops
and was in complete repair. 1t was
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
in West Virginia q number of years
ago. / was ON locomotive some dis
tance behind the one which exploded,
and was looking ahead out Of the cab
window, so that the Inflated engine
was immediately before my eyes. Sud
denly 1 saw the machine rise in the
air; it seemed to me to be about as
high as the telegraph poles beside the
track, which, as you doubtless KNOW,
are not so high as telegraph poles in
the city. Then came a cloud OF dense
black smoke and dust, which hid the
engine from view, and almost stimuli
taneously I heard the roar Of the eA-
plosion.
Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed, and the locomotive was
fit for nothing much but the scrap
heap when it fell to the ground. The
crown sheet over the firebox had
blown out.
1.-THE strange thing about the explo-
sion was that no white steam was
seen. You know perfectly dry steam
is invisible, being like the air, and
before it had time to condense 1t was
probably smothered by the cloud of
smoke and dust raised by the bursting
Of the boiler r"-Baltimor Sun.

Cot a si4 Pearl with His Oysters.

Morgan II. Morgan, file clerk in the
office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court
in company with several friends,
lunched in restaurant at Clark and
Randolph streets, and, among other
things, the entire party partook Of
fried oysters. Morgan picked out a
large, juicy one, and was beginning
to eat it with a relish, when his teeth
grated on 4 hard substance.
He removed the object from his
mouth and was about to tell the waiter
that he had not ordered his oysters TO
be seasoned with gravel, when his at
tention was attracted by the reflection
Of the light upon the object he had
thrown upon the table. Investigation
showed that it was pearl Of good
size.
Morgan put the pearl in his pocket,
and after leaving the restaurant Went
to the ctlice of a lapidary in tie
Champlain Building, where he was
offered $14 for the gem. He took the
money.-Chicago InterOcean.

HAVE CROWS A LANGUAGE?
Many Curious Facts That Go to Justify
the Theory.

fc-s
There is some reason for calling an
| owl the bird Of wisdom; and yet there
is cause for wondering if the crow is
not mentally his superior. Crows are
| not disheartened by the gloom of late
| autumn. If the fog is too dense to
| fly through it, they rise above it or
trot about the ground, discussing the
situation with their fellows. Is this
speaking too positively? 1 have long
| been familiar with an observing man
who has lived all his days within sight
and hearing Of crows. He claims to
| understand their language, and can
repeat the "words" that make up their
vocabulary. Certainly crows seem to
talk; but do they? Does a certain
sound made by them have always The
one significance? Ytlr after year l
have listened and watched, watched
and listened, and wondered IL my
friend was right He believes it.
believe it-almost. Are there limita-
tions to ornithological Interpretation?
And Is this en- instance where truth
is unattainable?
We know that crows are cunning and
by their mother wit have withstood the
prosecutions of mankind; we know
that they have a wide range of ut
terances, and not one is put forth
merely to crafty the ear, as in the
case of a thrush's song; yet we hesitate
to say plainly that crow talketh unto
crow and that they take counsel to-
gether. There is no physical or meta
physical reason why this should not
be the case; there is abundance evil
dence pointing in that direction, but
no actual demonstration, satisfying
everyone, has taken place.
Were we less theory ridden and more
observant, the question would have
been settled before this. In such a
case the opinion of the farmer is worth
more than that of a professional orni-

Very curious was the scene enacted

appearance entered and found Il
seat at the only vacant small table.
He had scarcely been seated before
almost his exact counterpart i'll facial
appearance entered and was ushered
to the seat opposite him-the only un-
occupied seat. Each naturally looked
at the other, and was struck by the
wonderful resemblance.
1t was evident that they We're
strangers.
Their respective orders served, the
onlookers were amused to find them
taking furtive glances at each other
with wonderment and bewilderment
depicted on their features.
Finally one of them ventured to say
to the other that his name was -
and that the family resemblance Of
the other was most striking.
Il ha j.; q twin brother" he said, "but
he was lost in his infancy in going
from England to Australia"
mo, he was not lost" was the reply.
"He was rescued by a passing ship
and taken to Melbourne and reared
by the man who had picked him up
out of the sea as his son. Recently on
his death, l learned the secret of my
life and l am now on my way to Eng
land to hunt up my family"
A hasty comparison of dates recalled
the fact that the two We're twins
hence their wonderful family resem-
blance-reunited by singular circum-
stance after separation since early
youth.-New York Timer.
