from Waycross to walk to Savannah.
The walk was a long one. At the

With the roar and rumble of a train

train. Confused, blinded by the glare
of the headlight and anxious to secure
his own safety, Shea sprang from the
track.
Courier had not awakened. Too late
Shea saw that his friend was fast
asleep and would be struck by the
train. Before he could offer any aid,
the pilot had struck Courier. The young
man was knocked from the track.
Shea administered as he could to his
friend. He was left alone with his
there. and, as best he could, he made
Courier comfortable and sought to
stop the flow of blood.
News of the accident reached one of
the stations, and the Southern's Palm
Limited with a Plant System surgeon
aboard, received orders to stop at the
sixty-mile post and take the young
men on. This was done, and they
were brought to Savannah. The DO
lice ambulance was summoned and
carried Courier to his home, where he
was attended by DR.. G. H. johnson.

CITY IN ASHES.
Fire Sweeps Paterson, N. j.. and
Brings Loss of $4,000, OOO-Busi-
nees and Other Houses in Ruins.

Paterson, n. j., Feb. 1O.-A great fire
swept through Paterson Sunday, and
in its desolate wake are the embers
and ashes of property valued in pre-
liminary estimate at $10,000,000. 1t
burned its way through the business
section of the city and claimed as its
own majority of the finer structul es
devoted to commercial, civic, educa-
tional and religious use, as well as
scores of houses. There was but small
tribute of life and injury to the con-
hagration, but hundreds were left
homeless and thousands without en-
ployment. A relief movement for the
care of those unsheltered and unpro-
vided for has already been organized,
and Mayor John Henchcliffe said that
Paterson would be able to care for her
own without appealing to the charity
of other communities and states. The
great manufacturing plants of the
place are safe, and the community,
temporarily dazed by the calamity, has
already commenced the work of reor-
ganization and restoration.

of Their Joint Scale
Committee,

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 8.-After a

night, during which there was talk of
a great national strike, the United

made Friday night, thereby reaffirm-
ing the scale agreement of last year

cided upon at a meeting of the scale

increase of wages, but their efforts in
this direction had been successfully
resisted by the operators.

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity of the wind
can be reckoned by noting the musical
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across a stretched wire.
The principal elements on which the
calculation is based are the diameter
of the wire and the temperature of the
air. The length of the wire is i'm
material, so long as it is not changed.
Every variation in the winds velocity
is faithfully represented by the rising
or falling of the pitch of the note sung
by the wire.

The Japanese smoke in a very pecu-
liar manner. The pipes have very
small metal bowls, with bamboo stems
and metal mouthpieces, and only hold
enough tobacco for three our four
whiffs. They use a tobacco which is
cut extremely fine, and looks more
like light blond hair than anything
else. 1t is of a very good quality,
however. The Japs take a Whit of
smoke and inhale it, letting it pass
out through the nostrils. They rarely
smoke more than one pipeful at a
time.
