A Fortune in Tobacco Ashes.

as everybody knows, the ash left on
burning tobacco is considerable. and,
as matter of fact, the mineral mates
of the tobacco leaf frequently amounts
to as much as a fifth part of it's weight
says The Lancet. Thus, ton Of to.
bacco leaf would yield 400 cwt of ash
which represents valuable mineral
constituents withdrawn from the soil
which have to be replaced by abund.
ant fertiliZing. 1t has been calculated
that ton of tobacco withdraws over
100 cwt. of mineral constituents pen
acre of land. In 1901 the home con-
sumption of tobacco in the United
Kingdom was at the rate of twa
pounds per head, or total of about
10000 tons, which represents, at what
is now a probably low computation,
approximately 5000 tons Of ash anpu-
ally committed to the winds or dissf-
pated in some other way. On the face
Of it there would seem to be fortune
in store for that individual who could
devise successful means for the col-
lection Of tobacco ash, and it is great
pity that so much valuable material
should forever be lost to the soil, with
out any attempt at direct restoration
being made.

Dreamed and Jumped.

Battle Greek, Mich.-At a santa
rum in this city a wealthy patient
from Chicago, connected with fam
lily well known throughout the West,
but whose name is withheld by the
managers of the institution, dreamed
that she was jumping from window.
Awakening, she ran to the window Of
her room, four stories above the ce-
nent driveway, pushed out the screen
and leaped into space. Her sister
awakened just in time to catch a fly
Ing glimpse of the woman s night robe
rs she cleared the window sill. The
falling woman crashed into an awning
below, which broke her fall and saved
her from being crushed to death on
the pavement. AS it was she rose with
only a bruised elbow and walked un-
aided to her room, four flights OF
stairs above.

The man began to frown.
"You take the elevator then"
The floor man next observed;
Get off the car at Number Ten"
(The man was quite unneryed).
Across four aisles, and then y0a turn
Six counters to your right;
Look to the left and you'll discern

The man cried out: 81 cannot heart

COLLISION.
ON SOUTHERN RAILROAD NEAR
KNOXVILLE.
FIFTY FOUR ARE KILLED.
Outright and Scores Injured. Engi-
neers Of Both Trains Buried Be-
meath the Debris. Cause Of Acct
dent Unknown.

Knoxville, TennERunning on a
roadbed in supposedly high condi-
slon OF maintenance and having about
them every safeguard known to mod
srn railroading, two trains on the
Southern railroad, carrying heavy
lists of passengers came together in a
frightful head-on collision near
Hodges, Tenn, Saturday afternoon,
sending ffty-four people to death and
njuring ono hundred and twenty-five,
several Of whom will probably die.
Thiss appallingloss Of life aud MAIN
ing Of the living resulted apparently
from the disregarding Of orders given
70 the two trains to meet at station
which has for long time been their
regular meeting point. The claim of
failure to see either the station or
signals cannot be set up by the engi-
neer Of the westbound train were he
alive to enter a plea of defense, as
the accident happened in broad day
light, and, according to the best in
formation obtainable, he had the or

sane full upon an eastbound passen-
ger train making for New Market in
compliance with instructions to meet
The westbound train which carried the
,leepers from the east for Knoxville,
Chattanooga and other southern cities.
The possibility exists that the i'll
lated engineer may have been asleep
Or that death had suddenly taken the
sight from his eyes before New Mar
ket was reached. But nothing is
known save that the orders were not
sbeyed. The trains were on time and
not making over thirty-fve miles an
hour, yet the impact as they rounded
curve and came suddenly upon each
,ther was frightful Both engines and
the major portions Of both trains were
demolished. Why the orders were dis
regarded or misinterpreted will never
be known as the engineers Of the two
trains were crushed, their bodies re-
naming for hours under the wreck
lge Of the monster locomotives, which
but a short time before had leaped
forward at the touch Of their strong
hands upon the throttle.
