rather than sell at or even 3 cents.
 The scheme of one Wall street syn dicate is to hold out of the market a million bales, provided the producers will hold back like number of bales until both can sell at II cents in the open market. This is a difficult bar gain to carry out, especially the south ern end of it. and no one ever knows what Wall street men have up their sleeves. The chances are that demand and suppIy will have much more con- trol over prices than the scheme in question: Demand and supply is the old-time test by which prices are gauged, and it is not easy to abolish it.

LANGUAGES IN SCHOOL.

Hamilton w. Mable in Harper's Maga-
 zine.
 Eighteen languages were spoken In New York before the war of the Revolu- ton, and that number has now risen to sixty-six or seven. There is school In the Syrian district of the city in which, 1t is reported twenty-nine languages and dialects are used: The greatest problem to be solved in New York, not only as a municipality but as the gate way to the United States, is the nat uralizing of this host of children-not by the forms of law. but in spirit, tenn per, habit and speech. How is this army of children from Europe or of recently immigrated parents to be transformed into an army of American citizens?
 Much is being done for men and women in these congested quarters, more proba- bly by the atmosphere in which they live than by all other agencies combined. but the most searching, effective and fruit ful work Is being done with the children.

CHANGED.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. From the outskirts of the town, Where the old milestone stood. Now a stranger. looking down behold the shadowy crown
 Of the dark and haunted wood. Is it changed, or am I changed?
 Ahl the oaks are fresh and green, But the friends with whom I ranged Through their thickets are estranged
 By the years that intervene. Bright as ever flows the sea,
 Bright as ever shines the sun, But alas they seem to me Not the sun that used to be,
 Not the tides that used to run.

TEN DIE IN A WRECK
UNION PACIFIC TRAINS COLLIDE
IN WYOMING.
Freight Conductor Left siding After
Three Trims Had Passed, When
Orders We're that He should Wait
for the Fourth.

One of the worst railroad wrecks which
has occurred on the Union Pacific Rail
road fOryears resulted from a head-on col
lision between a freight train and Over
land Limited passenger No. ,, eastbound,
five miles west of Rock Springs, Wyo.,
at 3 o'clock Thursday morning. Ten per-
sons were killed and nineteen persons
injured, eleven of them railroad employees
and eight passengers. Five Of the bodies
of the dead were burned beyond recogni-
ton in a fire which destroyed the mail
car, the combination dynamo-baggage
car and the dining car. Two of
these are known to be mail clerks and the
other three were cooks, who were sleep
ing in the diner.
The mail and dining cars were the
scenes of the greatest fatality, three mail
clerks and three cooks being killed out
right and one other clerk being perhaps
fatally injured. his skull being fractured.
Electrician Stigers and his assistant,
Frank McKenna. were in the baggage
car Immediately following the engine and
were also killed outright.
From the Union Pacific it is officially
announced that the wreck was caused by
the engineer and conductor of the freight
confusing their orders. They had re-
ceived orders to meet four passenger
trains, the last OF which was the Over
land Limited ut Ahsay, a siding five
miles west of Rock Springs. The freight
took the siding and when three of the
trains, all of which were running close
together, had passed Ahsay the freight
started west without waiting for the
Overland Limited. This latter train and
the freight came together head-On one
and a half miles west of Ahsay.
Engineer Grink, of the freight. is
among the killed and his fireman, Oscar
Peterson, was seriously injured.
Conductor Roy Darrell, of the freight,
admitted hat he had become confused,
thinking that all the trains which he eX-
pected TO meet at Ahsay had passed.
The freight had received positive orders
to meet all four of these trains ut Ahsay,
and the officials say the orders were
either misunderstood or misread.
Fortunately the wreck occurred within
a short distance of the Wyoming hospital,
which is located near Rock Springs. The
injured were all removed to that institu-
ton.

How Tunnel Was Cooled

The boring Of the Ok Bow tunnel
in Idaho is one of the great engineer
ing feats of the age. The Payette
river at this point makes a loop and
by putting a tunnel through 1000 feet
the river bed is left high and dry for
two and a quarter miles. 1t is the
intention to mine the river bed for
gold. Ordinarily the putting through
of this tunnel would be a simple mat
ter, but at 300 feet from the upper
end and $50 feet from the lower hot
water was struck. The heat at first
was from 95 to 105 degrees, increasing
as the work progressed to 1873 degrees
at the hottest point. Different fans
and blowers were experimental with
to cool the air in the tunnel, but with
out success, until William Flick, the
superintendent of the work, thought
of spraying the walls of the tunnd
with water pumped from the river.
Very simple pumping apparatus and
common garden sprays were used
with complete success. The tunnel is
% feet wide and 8 feet high and the
flow of hot water amounted to seventy
five miners inches. The cold water
cooled the hot water and it was
pumped out with common pumps

Another family treasure of great
value which has since passed into the
keeping of the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited In the British mu-
scum, says the Westminster Gazette.
This vase comes from Italy, and what
its age is no man knows, though it q
been proved that In 235 A. ID. it was
deposited in a sepulcher under the
Monte del Grano, three miles from
Rome, and is believed TO have contain
ed the ashes of the Emperor Severus.
But, whether or no, Pope Urban VIII.
had it dug up: and for more than two
centuries it reposed in the Barberini
palace at Rome. In 1856 the Duke IF
Portland purchased it from Sir Will
IAN Hamilton for 1,o29 ~guineaS and de-
posted it in the British museum fifteen
years later. The vase is only ten inch
es high. In 1915 a man named Lloyd,
employed at the museum, picked no q
stone and hurled it, in a fit of frenzy,
at the Use which contained the pro-
cious relic. The vase was smashed
into hundreds of pieces, but with great
ingenuity they were all put together
again, and as it now stands is said to
be worth at the very least $4,000
