Railway Accidents.

Granting that there is a greater
mileage OF railroad in this coun-
try, the proportionate travel is
pro- Ibly greater in England than
here. What, then, is the explana-
ton of the fewer fatal accidents.
or, ra ther, the almost total lack Of
accidents in that country as com
pared with the frightful mortality
on our American roads? The eX-
net solution is probably not easy,
but the most natural explanation
that will come to mind is that the
British roads are better managed
and that they are held to Il much
strictcr accountability by the au-
thorities. Another reason also is
the total absence of all grade
crossings in England and the uni
versal employment of the best of
safety devices and signals, the
block signal system being practic-
ally universally. O. Picayune.

How Hueh Is a Billion

To an Eng!ishman the bIilion-dolIas
steel corporation was impossible. for
to him billion meant a million mil
lion. That was the original meaning
of the word, and it still prevails in
England. A billion was n million
squared. and in the days when num-
bers were pointed off in periods of six.
was written 1.0o0o00. 100000. A tfillio:i
was million to the third power-with

the meaning which 1t has now IN

this difference which divides The two
English-spea!iing nations. for a man
should be sure whether or not he has a
right to call himself Millionaire when
he visits London.

largest structure of this kind in

Distinguished Dog.

A dog in England has lately
been honored by the receipt of an
illuminated address, in which HI.
il informed that he Is the most
successful collector for the Vic
toria infirmary at Norwich, and 10
thanked by the board Of mana
gers. The dog is five-year-old
fox-terrier, named Prince. He
does not wear cup or basket or
carry one in his mouth, us do
most mendicnnt dogs, but simply
sits up on his hind legs and begs.
When he receives a coin he goes
,;nbidden and deposits it in a box
kept for the purpose. During 1903
he collected more than 1000 coins.
One hopes that if illness or acct
dent ever overtake Prince there
may be a warm bed for him at the
infirmary, with plenty of good sir
loin steak and dog-biscuit.-

A remarkable phenomenon is re-

commune of Schava, in the govern

plicabie sounds we're heard for
several days issuing from the
earth. The sounds varied from
something like the booming of can
non to the screeching of steam
whistles and seemed to come from
forest skirting the commune. In
this forest, where the terrified
peasantry gathered in expecta-
tion Of some calamity, the earth
was seen to heave necessarily.
Gradually huge cracks appeared,
water was seen, at last the earth
seemed gradually to sink, water
rose, and there appeared a new
lake Of considerable extent, which

MADE CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
Army of Almost Microscopic Ants
Got Into the Jam-Awful Mo-
ment for Hostess.

In Mr.. Julian Hawthorue's "Haw-
thorne and His Circle" is the story Of an
experience which will doubtless be Rp-
preciated By many housekeepers, who
have suffered similar agony. II not from
precisely the same cause.
One night during Mr.. Hawthorne's
term as consul at Liverpool his friend.
Mr.. Henry Bright. the water-color ar
list, came to an. informal supper. and
Mrs. Hawthorne, in honor of her guest.
placed upon the table Jar Of especially
fine raspberry jam.
NJ. Bright tasted the Jam, and at once
became enthusiastic. He had never
eatea any SO delicious. he declared,
There was peculiar twans about 1t
which surpassed his re collections of any
jam he had ever tasted from boyhccd up.
He was still in the midst of his rhapso-
dies and still consuming their subject
with enthusiasm when Mrs. Hawthorne.
who had taken a little CT the jam upon
her own plate. made ehastly discovery.
The cover OF the jam pot had evidently
got ajar in the closet. and an innumeIa-
BILE army of almost microscopic ants had
discovered the treasure, and plunged
eagerly into 1t.
What color the invading army had
been before they became 'incorporated
with the jam nobody knew; at the time
of the discovery they could be distin-
grished only by their struggles with
the pervasive stickiness-and the eyes
of Henry Bright were among the most
near-s,ghted In England.
What was TO be done? Mr.. and Mrs.
Hawthorne stealthily exchanged lone
awful look" and the question was set
tied. 1t WAS too late to recall the ants
devoured by thousands; 1t was GEAR
ly one Of the cases where ignorance
was bliss. Mr.. Bright accompanied his
meal with continual psalm" in praise
Of the exquisite flavor Of the raspberry
Jam. and never to the day of his death
discovered the awful secret Of that fla
vor.
There is ono comfort about such ex-
periences. Although even the most
well-poised or heroic soul could hardly
enjoy them a the tire. one who is blessed
with sense Of humor knows that sooner
or later. when the right perspective 10
reached. they will furnish chapters in
the family chronicles.
