which is here presented. AS will be
seen, each runner is provided with fork
ed ends. which slip over the rim OF the
wheels and are held in place by bolts.
When not in use these runners are
easily stored in the carriage, being per-
fectly fat and occupying little space.
This device will be found especially
advantageous on long journeys, or
when the owner of the vehicle intends
to stay away from home for several
days at seasons where there may be
freeze or thaw, as the driver may hap
pen to be sensitive about running a
sleigh on bare ground, or a wheeled
vehicle when the sleighlng is good.

Slow Travelling.

Some Florentine experts in snailolo-
gy, finding time hang heavy on their
hands, conceived the idea of accurately
calculating the travelling speed OF
snails, and, with this end in view. it
was decided to make series of more
or less elaborate experiments. Half a
dozen of the molluscs were permitted
to crawl between two points ten feet
apart. Exact time was kept from the
start to the finish, and thus the aver
age pace" was ascertained. The ex-
perimenters reduced their figures into
tables of feet, and thus found that II
would take snail exactly fourteen
days to travel n mile.

The local paper should be found in

taught to appreciate the home paper
should not grow up in ignorance. 1t
is said to be the stepping stone of in
telligence in all those matters not to be
learned in books. Give your children
foreign paper which contains not one
word about any person, place or thing
which they ever saw or perhaps ever
heard of, how could you except them to
be interested? But let them have the
home paper and read of people whom
they meet and places with which they
are familiar and soon an interest is
awakened which increases with every
weekly arrival of the local paper. Thus
a habit of reading is formed and those
children will read the paper all their
lives and become intelligent men and
women, credit to their ancestors,
strong in the knowledge of the world as
it is to day.-Ex.

Collision in Emporium Yard.

Railroad people were considerably
stirred up on Tuesday when it became
known that Buffalo Express due here
at 11:50 had collided with switch en-
gine and freight train short distance
above the Portage bridge. The parti-
culars as near as we can gather them
are as follows: The switch engine was
coming down the hill and when near
Jackson's the engineer saw that the
Buffalo Express was due within six
minutes and dropped two signal caps.
Arriving at the siding just above the
yard freight train prevented the
switch engine taking a siding. A flag
man was sent bach to flag the rapidly
approaching passenger train, the engi-
neer of which made every effort to stop
the train upon the explosion of the
signal cap but the train was going at
such rapid rate that the train just slid
into the switch engine, jammlng it into
the freight train, wrecking three cars,
smashing the passenger engine and
switch engine. All was excitement
and every one expected to find some
of the passengers killed or fatally in
jured, bat while all were more or less
bruised and shaken up none were fatal
ly injured. The following passengers
were injured:
j. G. Gault Olean, injured on right
arm and abrasion of chin.
J. f. White, Emporium, bruised fore
head.
Mary TAFT, Sizerville, left eye bruis-
| ed.
Kate Tanner, Sizerville, right eye

Louis Poppenburg, lip cut and teeth

The following employees were in

S. G Smith, Olean, slightly injured.
j. w. Ostrander, baggage master,
left elbow bruised and silver in back.
DR. Smith, the company surgeon at
this place, was promptly on the ground
and was kept busy plastering and
fixing up the injured. Taking all into
consideration, it was very fortunate

It took several hours to clean up the

that the land upon which this house
