Prof. H. A. Surface, of State Col
lege, economic zoologist of Pennsyl-
vania, declares that he is ready to
eat cabbage snake or worm to prove
that a widespread belief that this
particular kind of worm, if eaten,
will cause sure death, is entirely
unfounded. 1t was recently reported
that whole family living In Col
umbia county, were in dread of
sudden death because they feared
that they had eaten Il cabbage worm.
When the attention of Prof. Surface
was called to this incident, he SAID
"Such worm is sometimes found
in cabbage, but it is absolutely
harmless. y few years ago the belief
that it was poison was so prevalent
in Iowa that many farmers stopped
planting cabbages. Prof. II. f..
Summers, State Zoologist of Iowa
to prove that the worm or snake, as
it is sometimes called, is perfectly
innocent, ate one in the presence of
respectable witnesses. To show that
the cabbage worm is harmless, il
any one will bring me one, | will,
in the presence of witnesses, eat ii
as Prof. Summers did"

Locomotive Ecsler Explodes.
and Fireman Killed.

The explosion of locomotive
boiler on the w. & n. B. r. r., be-
tween RingdaIe and this place, last
Friday evening caused the death of
Engineer David Davies and Fireman
CleGn Karschner. The former being
Instantly killed while Mr.. Karshner
survived until Saturday at O'Clock,
suffering intense pain from being
badly bruised and scalded. No one
else Of the train crew or any of the
passengers were injured.
The engine was attached to the
sonth bound passenger train, due at
LaPorte, 7:l6 p. M. and had passed
the water tank about J mile when
the terrible explosion occurred, de-
molishing the m assive machine
leaving nothing but Il scrap pile of
twisted and broken iron. The
crown sheet with other attached parts
weighing several tons, was blown
800 feet into the woods, moving
down saplings in its path like ii
cythe would cut down grass. The
unfortunate engineer, Mr. Davies was
blown 300 feet up the track and
lodged in the brush few feet from
the track. Karschner was shOveling
coal into the fire at the time of the
accident and was blown to the upper
bank. The force of the eXplosit n
was forward and Consequently did
not harm the coaches, only the bag
gage coach leaving the track. The
wreckage plowing up the ties and
rails for 60 feet or more, stopped the
motion of the train. The cause of
the explosion is unknown. The
boiler had been recently inspected
by government inspector and said
20 be one of the best on the road.
The first to reach the scene of the
disaster WAS from LaPorte. Mr..
Ellery Swank, the company's line
man was on the train with his test
ing phone which he quickly attached
to the wire and called w. B. Ritter,
the station agent at this place, who
summoned the assistance of Dr.
Randall and Miss Margaret Helm, a
trained nurse of Lancaster, who is
visiting her brother, Rev. Helm.
They with others were conveyed on
a hand car, arriving considerable in
advance of special train sent from
lIughesville.
Mr.. Davies was fifty-fonr years of
age and is survived by his widow
and four children. Mr.. Karschner
was much younger man and leaves
a wife and three small children to
mourn his loss. Both men resided
in Hughesville. The funeral servi-
ces We're held at that place Tuesday
and largely attended by railroad en-
ployees from different sections.

ONE MONTHS RECORD.
Shows That Our Financial Position
Was Never Before So Strong.


In February we increased our output
Of manufactured goods the most of any
month in our history; this. be it recall
ed, under the Dingley tariff. We also
sold an unusually large amount of ag
ricultural exports, although our sales
of manufactures exceeded those of our
farm products. In February we sold
over $100,000,000 worth of goods to for
eign customers, an increase of $14 ,O00,
600 over February Of year ago. We
sold less cotton and wheat, but our
other exports have increased. In Feb
ruary we sent abroad $12,500,000 Of
gold that we had no use for in this
country. The past eight months we
have sent out $43,000,000 of our gold
to the foreigner and we have a lot yet
to spare. The American financial post
ton was never so strong as it is today
We lend money to Europe as well as
pay for all we want from foreign ma
tions, and still we have plenty to spare
at home. Would tariff tinkering i'm
prove the status ?-Lewiston Journal.
