INTO THE DITCH
Valley Engine Took PIunge--Ensl'
neer and Fireman Escaped.

A northbound freight engine on
the C.: #. G. V. was completely over
turned at Myersville Friday afternoon
by the track giving way beneath 1t.
The engineer and fireman went down
with the engine, but neither was in
jured.
The track runs parallel with the
Tuscarawas river, which is swollen
far above its banks. The place where
the track was undermined is near a
bend where the overfiowing water
ran against the road bed. The en-
gine was precipitated into a deep hole
IL feet deep. The escape of the en-
gineer and fireman was little short of
miraculous. Traffic was not delayed
by the accident.

A representative Of the News visit
ed the Graham bridge that was dam
aged by the food. The southeast end
of the bridge has fallen in and the car
track has been moved to the west side.
Yesterday the stone and brick kept
falling in until 1t is now to the edge
Of the car track. The travelling pub

structure in its present condition and
1t is probable that car service over the
bridge may be discontinued.
II is said that there should have
been a wing built to the bridge as 1t
crosses the creek quartering and not
at right angles. The contractors are
not blamed. 1t is claimed by some
that the architect who designed the
bridge was at fault. The amount OF
water was extraordinary, but II a wing
had been built, the bridge would have
been saved At the time Of construc-
ton It Is claimed that warning was
given by local parties that wing was
necessary.

WANT UNIVERSAL ALPHABET
Boston University will Call World s Conference in Endeavor to Estab-
 fish Uniformity in Languages.

Boston university Is about to call a worlds conference of philologists and language professors in Boston for the purpose of adopting universal alpha bet by which to indicate the pronuncia- ton of words in the leading European languages, and to institute some re- forms in the methods of spelling. cir cular has been issued inviting opin- ions on the proposal for an international conference, and the initial steps have already been taken. The 26 letters of the Roman alphabet are known all over the world and probably 90 per cent. of the worlds printing is done with these letters. Thus the universal alphabet already exists. It only remains to re- move a few differences. For the most part the 26 letters represent the same sounds in all languages By slight mod ifications it is thought that the number of letters can be increased from 26 till /it sufices to represent all the sounds oi all the leading languages A second circular will be sent to all university professors as soon as the faculties reas- semble.

Artistic and Expensive.

Ladies of high degree in China use the daintiest thimbles imaginable, some of them being carved from enormous pearls, ornamented with bands of fine gold, on which all manner of quaint and fantastic designs are engraved. A mother-of-pearl case is always made to keep the thimble in, and with it the Chi nese lady has pair of delicate scis- sors of finest steel, inclosed in sheath of mother-of- pearl, with a needle-case 10 match.

AN OLD LESSON RETAUGHr.

Reason and experience have for gen. erations taught the danger to the wear CT of those insecure supports which some persons use on shoes as substi- tutes for heels, the Onus of whose in- vention is generally placed upon the French. But the so-called French heel has not frequently been indicted for so serious a crime as that at New York last week. Two women were walking down stairs arm in arm. The French heel on the shoe of one of them caught on the edge of the stair and she and her companion were precipitated over the balustrade to hard floor five stories below. The first died in- stantly from fractured skull, the sec ond is in the hospital mending several broken bones.
 This thing might under the right con ditions, have happened with any sort of heel. But no argument is needed to prove that the chances of such an accident are increased a hundred fold by the heel described as French. While all heels may be slightly danger ous at times, the French heel is yiru- lently dangerous at all times. The New York instance should serve to teach new lesson which some per sons seem in danger of forgetting But though it never breaks necks or skulls, the French heel is always dan- gerous to health-and that is another old forgotten story. It places the foot in an unnatural and unhealthy position with the heel over an inch higher than the ball, with the support for the heel | in the arch of the foot where it should not be, instead of under the heel in line with the main base of support. How ever, it is good to know that even l fashion some time ago tabooed the French heel, and those who wear l it not only endanger their lives and l health but their standing in that sort of society which bases it's estimate of men and women on their observance of the rules of fashion.

Notorious -or k.aapvarecks.

m the district of Stavanger, in the southwestern part of Norway, there is a place called Jaederen, fiat strip of coast less than mile long. which is notorious for shipwrecks. Now a Nor Wegian physicist has discovered that the sand or Jaederen is strongly magnetic owing to the admixture of magnetic iron ore. He found also that at distance of three miles from the shore ships com pass showed deviation of a whole de- gree rom it's true position. The cause of Ine numerous shipwrecks, therefore, is obvious.

Ridiculous Step.

The congress of naturalists and physi- clans which recently met in Breslau strongly condemned the .'goose-step'' as practiced in the German and some other armies. Dr. Thalwitzer read paper on the subject, in which he showed that the adoption of this ridiculous step accounts for numerous knee and foot complaints among the troops. Sixty per cent. of tho sores on the feet of the men are in conse- nuence of persistent adherence to this lntiquated step.
