CINE, reversed his brakes and then jumped.
The freight struck the yard engine with
terrific force, knocking one OF the coal
cars from the top of the trestle to a creek,
some thirty yards distant. The two cars
next to the freight engine were reduced
to splinters. One of the cars was loaded
with heavy street car rails, which were
thrown down the embankment. The I'M

A Cause of Failure.

An authority on publicity quotes a
great merchant as saying that the .rea-
son so many honest men fail in business
is that they are poor advertisers. "li e
people," he continues, "have acquired
the habit of looking to the newspapers
for business information. The merchant
who fails to give this in a satisfactory
manner cannot reasonably expect to get
full share of the trade. - Phila.

 There was only a fair volume of trade in wheat and the market lacked any features of special importance. Opening prices on July were nrm and shade to isGfhc higher at rh9I2%, under the influence of compara- lively steady cables. the Liverpool market showing only slight decline In tine face of the severe break here yesterday May opened unchanged to Kc lower at 77%677N and there was little doing in that month early in the day traders apparently being afraid to venture either way on this delivery. The market was supported throughout the day by the leading long and shorts were also good buyers, the latter acting under the belief that a deal is on in May. Under these influences and with higher prices at St. Louis and New York the ally enlarged. Bullish foreign advices added to the strength the. latter part of the session May sold up to 7s4 with !uly up to 73.

EVOLUTION OF THE POTATO.
Some of the Many and Varied Uses
 Which It is Serving.

Providence Journal.
 Today Germany fairly rivals Ireland with it's potato crop and outdoes most oth- CT countries. Fully an eighth of the arabie land of the empire Is planted to this nutri tious vegetable. Half the large yield Is used directly as human food: a con1d erable other portion is given over to fat tening stock. There still remains an enor- nous surplus after that, however. and 1t is the success with which the Germans have met in turning their surplus into markable.
 Among those manufactured products are starch, glucose, potato flour. dextrin and starch-sugar, each of which appears prominently on the list of German ex- ports. all together contributing large sums every year to the profits of German man. ufacturers and exporters. But the alcohol which the Germans make from the potato is the most valuable and wonderful pro duct of all. This as light producer fair ly rivals the electric current. 1t is said. The apparatus for its practical use in- cludes lamps chandeliers. street and cor ner lights, in which alcoholic vapor Is burned like gas in hooded flame. covered by a Welsbach mantle. So used, potato incandescent flame equaling the electric light in brilliancy. Indeed we are official ly told by our Consul General at Ber- lin that potato alcohol is competing with gas and electricity with increasing Suc-
 In the problems of heat and power pro- duction. too the lowly potato has been brought into use. and the alcohol from it has been applied to warming and cooking stoves. to steam locomobiles to thresh- ing grinding. fuel-cutting and other ag- ricultural and mechanical appliances. The advantages said to be found in its use are immediate readiness for operation; dis pensing with coal. water and firemen; freedom from odors and danger of fire. and greater economy of maintenance. Pos sibly there Is some exaggeration in these claims. But figures given plainly show has produced a real competitor for at least benzine and petroleum for motor purposes.
