SAFETY IN HIGH SPEEDS.
Fast Trains Less Likely to be Thrown
From Rails Than Slow
Runners.

A few days ago an lS-hour train on
he Pennsylvania railroad ran square
ly into Il freight car and threw II
from the track Not passenger was
aware of the accident at the time. The
nvpr did not leave the rails. The only
person who was hurt was the en%l
neer, who jumped. A few days before
this occurred a writer in the Sclentlllt
American said: 'On the Stral@h'
stretches of the line the fast train
because of it's higher velocity, is less
likely to be thrown from the track by
some obstruction than the slow train
The writer was once on an engine that
was laundering down grade through
the bad lands of Dakota, with a ten
car train behind it. at a speed OF ovel
60 miles an hour. when the engine
struck and swept through band ol
wild horses that dashed out of a neigh
boring canyon across the track just
CINE and train kept the rails un
harmed. AT another time he was on
an engine that was crawling slowly
up grade. when "a small band of sheep
crossing the tracks proved enough to
deral the engine.

ALL PAID THEIR FINES.
Outcome of a Compact to Ignore Com
nent OIL the Too Fervent Weather.

Six young gentlemen of Washington
city. each of them employed in one
a: tho executive departments, are in
the habit of meeting frequently in a
downtown billiard parlOr in the even
inos and testing their abilities as
amateur champions of the cue. At a
recent assembling. relates the Star.
one of the party eXpatated emphati-
CHlIy concerning the tOrrid temper
ature.

lantly said another of the party. "It
Cnly makes one hotter to be constant
" referring to the heta.' The other
io;ned in and discussed the matter.
It ended in an agreement to meet the
next night and if any man in the
rarty mentioned the weather he was
to be fined so cents, the sum total
to be expended for refreshments some
time when the temperature had low
cred. The genial proprietor of the
billiard parlor was to record and col
lect the fines.
The first man who made his ap-
pearance on the next evening was a
clerk in the interior department and
the first words he uttered were:
"Great Scott! but amt this a scorch-
err" And down on little book that
was in readiness the boss of the place
recorded a fine of so cents against
him. One of them remarked to the
other: '.I must cool off. S'pose we
take gin rickey. They're good in
hot weather and this is the hottest
day I ever struck"
EYES," said his companion, "mer-
curry stood 100 in the shade at what's
his names place today" And down
went one dollar more in the billiard
mans book.
The fourth of the friends appeared.
He said never a word at first. but
took his station at window and
sighed. 1t was MT long before he
had to record his "kick." "1 knew
man once who committed suicide on
account of the heat" he said. "1f
there was ever day when one could
be justified in taking his life on such
an account it's just such weather as
we've had to endure today" Then
the, little fine book showed financial
exhibit of two dollars.
The remaining two members of the
rarty came in soon afterward. "Fine
ME right away" said one Of them.
"lm going to abuse the weather as
much as want to. This is by all odds
the hottest weather ever experienced
in my life" "Me, too," said the last
man. 81 was in southern Arizona on
a surveying expedition on one hot sea-
son and never suffered as much from
the heat as | have today" 1t did't take
long to gather in that three dollars for
refreshments. In the meantime the
man who owned the place had never
opened his mouth He attended strict
ly to business and fined the men who
bad agreed not to talk about the
weather with exact impartiality.

To The Newark Journal:
Among the folk-songs of fifty
and q hundred years ago none
were more loved than this song,
because it touched human SYM
pathy. Through it runs the ten
derest pity; its melody is like that
of the nightingale, sorrow. There
is no sorrow so deep as that of
little child. They tell us of hap
py childhood. So it is. Child
hood is the happiest time, free, like
bird; but for real sorrow, | think
a child feels more deeply than
grown people. Have you never
seen little faced pinched and agon-
izedl
A child's sorrow this song ex-
presses. 1t is for the sake of the
children, and all that liquor can
mean to them and their environ
ment, that good people pray for
temperance.

1ntently to the music, | sank back into my
chair and gave her the choice of continu-
ing the conversation or not, as she saw fit
The band small but most excellent
orchestra, had just rendered a soft and
harmonious prelude. l did not recognize
the air until violonccllo, exquisitely
played, struck into the swelling grandeur
of Vulcan's song from "PhiIcmon ct
BanciS." Perhaps the girl knew the
words as well as the music; | did not.
Looking them up afterward, in Santley's
translation, | found them curiously
apropos of the strange, all-surmounting
force which was in our minds at the
moment
Where loud the brazen hammers sound,
With lurid light the furnace glowing,
Down in my kingdom underground,
Aside vain ceremony throwing,
I'm sovereign of all around.
Certainly my companion was given a
glimpse of some underground kingdom
illumined by lurid light, for l quickly
discovered that she was rapt into a state
of exaltation which paid no heed to the
visible world of fashion and light and
music which surrounded u.s. | spoke
to her gently more than once 1t was
useless. She sat there, with tireless eve
lids and glistening eyes, to all outward
semblance absorbed in Gounods majestic
chant, but really, as | alone knew, unsee-
ing and unhearing except to sights and
sounds not given to my comprehension
The suddenness of the thing was
positively startling. According to Hoop
own with Karl, it was probable she would
regain ordinary consciousness if touched.
Yet | forebore, lowering between anxiety
on the girls behalf and desire not to break
in on trance which might yield some
knowledge of actual value. | have often
wondered since if any observant ewes
among the crowd of loungers were watch
ing us. We must have offered a queer
picture, a scene from the charade of life
as it is staged in a big London hotel-the
wistful-eyed girl in a graceful pose, gazing
blankly into space, as it seemed, and
pondering some wordless problem, and
the gray-haired, sparely built man watch
ing her with a keenness that must
have been puzzling to any onlooker
At last the music ceased. There was
some applause, and to my great relief
Maggie regained her wits. Then spasm
of real passion convulsed her face, as
though some fierce gust had swept from
a thunder-cloud to distort the smooth
mirror of lake. Reasoned thought was
slow in resuming it's sway. l was sure
she would spring to her feet and scream
aloud Yet it was evident that each
instant she was becoming more conscious
of her environment and gaining strength to
repress the agony which wrung her bosom
With all my world-wandering and its
consequent carelessness of mere outward
effect, notwithstanding that wayward
Celtic temperament which is likely to set
Mrs. Grundy at defiance, the upper
British crust of conventionality was suffi-
GENTLY hard on me to demand a rapid
glance around the garden court to see
if anybody was looking.

meath the palms in the Garden Court.
Here we could hear the band, watch the
celebrities of the hour, and talk without
listeners.
Il hope you are not a materialist,
said the girl, after l had uttered some
truism about modern life.
Perish the thought" l answered.
Though, as one nearly double your ex-
treme age, will you permit me to ask
what is. your definition of a materialist?"
"A gross persona species of pig
man" was her sufficiently amazing reply.
Are you thinking of Steindal?" l
asked involuntarily, though l had re-
solved to keep clear of the topic for the
hour
oh, no. He was not in my mind at
all. The music, the lights, the soft tones
of the women's dresses, all the harmony
to eye and ear of Our present surround
ings, carried a thought to me. l cannot
help knowing that within a short dis
tance of this pleasant place one can find
great misery. Which of these states
reveals the truth in life?'
Both 1t is well to hold a balance
between them"
Thank you. Now, one has read how
rich and well-born men and women, in
other days, have had vision which so
| influenced their lives that they forthwith
abandoned wealth and rank and devoted
themselves to the painful service of their
suffering brethren. Such visions may not
be frequent to-day, but it is a matter
of constant occurrence for a similar
result to be achieved, and achieved in a
single hour, whereby the future years of
existence were cast irrevocably into a
new mold"
"You are speaking solely of spiritual
| infuences?" asked
She moved slightly. My question was
unexpected. Some of these tender plants
of human growth are so delicately con-
stituted that they vince physically if you
prod their souls with a verbal arrow.
Il can scarce distinguish between
states" she said, 'nor have l thought
or read deeply enough to claim any clear
idea as to what constitutes spirituality
| suppose it sounds strange to hear
girl not yet nineteen talking of such things
at all. But in Berlin one is taught to
think earlier than in England, and
musical training is prone to develop
fanciful moods"
She was fencing with me. 1 deter
mined to risk another of these insidious
ow-fights.
May take it that your present intro
spective condition of mind arises from
your experience on board the Merlin?"
YES" Her lips set with snap.
| 1t was clear that however little Kar1's
supernormal powers affected him, they
( had exerted truly remarkable influence
on Maggie Hutchinson, an influence, too,
SO novel and mysterious that she seemed
almost to fear it's analysis. So l en-
deavored to help her.
| The man would be fool who denied
the enduring effect on the mind of mo-
ment's inspiration, l said. He might
as well argue that the inconceivably rapid
passage of an electric current through

hilation."
