Gun Ducks Smell.
From Outing.

II has been often asked whether or
not ducks can smell. Some hunters cite
from their experiences instances that
seem to show ducks can smell. others
that ducks cannot. Now the naturalist
would say that ducks, owing to their
habit, have no need to smell and
hence cannot. This rule is not infalli-
BILE, but generally holds good. Any wild
thing with such eyes as ducks have
do not need to smell. Nature seems
to have given birds a discerning eye
and animals a discerning nose. A fox
will look straight at a man and not
see him, even when only a few feet
away, provided he does not smell him
or the man does not move. A duck will
not only see a man standing perfectly
still at a long distance, regardless of
the wind, but will notice any change
in the landmarks of their haunts or
feeding grounds.

AT FULL SPEED
INTO OPEN SWITCH
EIGHT KILLED.; II INJURED
IN A ST. LOUIS, IRON MOUNTAIN AND
SOUTHERN WRECK.

Accident Was Due TO Misunder-
standing of Orders-Oficial Say
There Was Something Wrong in
the High Rate of speed the Train
Had mt the Point Where the Ac-
cident Occurred-Mnster Mechanic,
Aboard Engine, Killed.
Kimswick, Mo- April 30-A misun-
Outstanding Of orders by the engineer
of train No. is on the St. Louis. Iron
Mountain and Southern Railway re-
suited in a serious wreck to-day at
Wickes siding, about mile and
half north of here, in which eight
were killed and seventeen injured. Fol-
lowing is a list of the dead:
James Bailey, engineer.
Albert G. Bumpert, fireman.
A. E. Tabor, master mechanic,
Express Messenger GrOat.
Edward Bisibard, DeSoto, Mo.
Three unidentified passengers.
None of the injured will die.
The engine struck an open switch
and, with the exception of the last
sleeper, all the coaches were derailed.
The wreck occurred while the train
was going at an excessive rate of
speed
Last night there was trouble with
a freight car on one of the fast trains,
and it was necessary to abandon it
on the main line near Wickes siding
Orders were issued for all northbound
and southbound trains to use the
switch at that point, instead of the
main line. Five trains passed the sid
ing during the interval between the
breakdown of the freight car and the
arrival OF No. is.
1t is stated by Conductor Austin that
he read the order to the engineer and
handed a copy to him. The officials of
the road cannot account for the fact
that the train approached the siding
at the high rate of speed it must have
had to cause the damage it did.
The engine turned completely over,
pinioping Engineer Bailey beneath tons
of steel Master Mechanic Tabor who
was riding in the engine, was also in
stantly killed
