Oh, the rain-soug OF the robin! How
it thrills my heart to hear
The raln-song Of the robin in the sum-

How I long ior wings to join him where

And for words to beg the secret of bis

Does he sing because he revels in the

In tho thunder and the lightning does
he lind hidden charm?
Or with prc.e eye, enraptured, does
he sec the darkness past,
And the beauty which shall blossom
when the clouds disrerse at last?
When Thy rain on ne descendeth, and
Thy CLOUDS about me roll,
Grant, o God, the power of singing to
my tempest shaken soul!
May I see Thy mercy shining far be-

May hear ThiSe angels chanting

Railroad Accidents.

h1AAAIA JOuAuois
Railroad disasters have become 80

were the case, for it is seldom that q

papers to print more or less lengthy
list of dead and wouuded who have
been killed and MANNED in some big
railway accident. Continual repetition
of horrible affair is apt to blunt the
edge of public PITY and indignation.
1t is matter OF fact that there are
more fatal wrecks on American roads
THAI on those of any other Part OF the
civilized world. 1t is very seldom that
the English people, for instance, are
killed and injured in such wholesale
fashion by their carriers. There is a
reason for everything; and it is diff
cult to dodge the conclusion that the
reason for 80 many railroad accidents
in this country lies with the officials of
the railroad corporations themselves.
The employees are generally trust
worthy and capable men but 1t too
frequently happens that the employe is
overworked. There comes a time, no
matter it q man be built of iron, when
human nerves reach their limit of en-
durance, and refuse to respond to extra
demands put upon them. Another
reason undoubtedly lies in the we'll
known hesitation of certain roads to
spend sufficient per cent of their pro-
fits to keep their rolling stock and their
road beds in such condition as to readl-
ly handle, without endangering life or
property, a sudden increase of traffic.
With overworked men and with over
worked stock of all kinds accidents are
almost inevitable. It is without doubt
true that the men who actually oper-
ate the various systems are Just as care
fu. of the lives and OF the property en-
trusted to them as they can possibly be
with the material which they must
work with.
And, in the end, the blame for a
large part of the fatal accidents of
which We are always reading is to be
traced to the somewhat cynical desire
of those who control the corporations
to get as much out of the men and
stock as possible, with the least pos
sible expenditure d money.

Our Atmosphere.

One Of the many uncertain elements
in meteorology is the height to which
the earth's atmosphere extends. In
former days it was taught somewhat
dogmatically that height exceeding
forty-five miles was unthinkable for q
gas constituted as the air is. This be.
lief was shaken by calculations respect
Ing the altitude of meteors, which be.
came lncandescent by collision with
our atmospheric envelope and were
certainly rendered visible In this way
at attitudes OF over seventy miles.
Professor Newcomb deduced from the
meteor shower of Nov. 13, 1867, that
the air must reach to 100 or ITO miles
from the earths surface. DR.. T. ].
See, of Washington, essayed to deter
mine the problem by watching the dis.
appearance of blue sky after sunset.
Accepting Lord Raylelgh's theory that
the blue color of the sky is due to re-

upper layers of the atmosphere, DR..
