 On Sunday night last one of the worst railroad accidents which has ever happened in this country oc- cured near Pueblo, Colorado. The Missouri Pacific Worlds Fair train was crossing bridge over a swollen stream when the structure gave way the engine mail and ex- press cars and two coaches filled with passengers into the swollen and turbulent stream which was thirty five feet deep. The fireman of the train crew and two passengers were all that were saved from those who went down The diner and one Pullman stopped on the brink of the chasm and their occupants were unharmeu. Only two similar railroad disasters are on record. Those were the Ashta. bula disaster, when whole train load of passengers went down with a bridge, the killed and wounded num- bering over 100; and the Firth of Forth disaster when an entire railroad train was blown from the high bridge into the deep waters beneath, not a vestige of the train or of any of it's human cargo ever being found. The Colorado disaster resembles the latter in that there were no wounded, all the victims as stated meeting death. except three who escaped unharmed. While it is impossible to estimate the exact number of killed it is thought 10 be considerably over 100, as that number of bodies have been recover .d.

CLOUDS OF GREAT EXTENT.

They Are Frequently Eight Miles Long
and One and Two Miles High.
Scientists have recently been meas
uring the dimensions of the clouds and
have arrived at some rather startling
conclusions. The dimensions of single
clouds, as far as the area covered by
their base is concerned, vary, as any
one can see, from the cloud the size of
mans hand to that which covers the
entire visible heavens, but the height
of clouds can be observed more defin-
itely and can be estimated with con-
vincing accuracy. and it is this height
that largely determines their contents
and characteristics.
y great, cumulous thunderhead, tow
ering up on the horizon like huge,
tamboyant iceberg, is often higher
than the highest Alps would be il
they were piled on top of the Hima-
layas. 1t is not unusual for these
clouds to measure five, six or even
eight miles from their fiat, dark base,
lowering mile or two above the
world, to their rounded, glistening
summit, splendid in the sunlight. And
in these eight miles the changes of
temperature are as great as those over
many thousand miles of the earth's
surface.
These clouds contain strata of tent
perature, narrow belts of freezing cold
alternating with large distances of
rainy mist and frozen snow and ice
particles. Hailstones, which are formed
from snow particle that falls from
Al.<
In the freezing belt and coated with
added Ice In the wet belt, are often
found with series of layers In their
formation, showing that they have
passed through this succession of
cloud strata more than once on their
way from the upper air to the earth.

ONCE UPON a TIME.

Heard 1 once my old nurse telling
Stories by the fire at night,
All about big, bearded giants
Till l shivered In alright;
Then her voice came from distance
From a drowsy, far-off cline,
Echoing the sweet old cadence,
"Once upon Time"
Read l once a golden story
or King Arthurs wonder court,
Lancelot and Guinevere,
All the knights of brave report
But amidst the loving hating,
Still l heard the insistent chime,
Like a cuckoo clock repeating,
Once upon a Time"
VIII our lives when we have lived them
Seem like stories we have read
Stories which our nurses told us
AS we lay all snug in bed?
VIII they seem as vague as dreams are,
All the days we thought sublime?
Shall we hear the faint low whisper,
Once upon q Time"
When the earth and day and sunlight
Grayly fade away,
When the years that we have lived here
Seem like one brief day;
Shall we hear again at twilight
Echo of our nurses rhyme.
Here you lived and loved and labored,
"Once upon a Time"
-Leslie's Monthly.
