A the long tracks of total eclipses
~ Of the sun often extend for 5000
n miles or more across the earth's
surface, and as that surface Is
much more largely composed of water
than land. II is evident that the majority
of eclipse paths must fall over some
ocean where II is practically lost to
science.
In 1856 Professor PiaZzi fSmyth, late
Astronomer Royal of Scotland. made ex-
periments on his voyage to the island of
Teneriffe with reference to devising in
struments placed on the deck of a ship
stable enough to make accurate astro-
nomicaI observations. and the result was
particularly encouraging. Similar at
tempts have been made by both French
and American naval officers, and In the

THIRTY DIE IN WRECK.
Two Sections of Inaugural Train in
Collision Near Pittsburg.

Two Sections of Inaugural Train in
Collision Near Pittsburg.
Two sections of an inaugural train
from Cleveland on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg branch of the Pennsylvania
system were wrecked in a rear-end
collision near Ellsworth, ten miles
from Pittsburg, Friday evening. 1t is
believed that at least thirty persons
were killed, and the number may
reach sixty, while fully sixty were in
jured. The wreckage burned and it
is feared many bodies were cremated.
Shortly after the first report of the
wreck was received word came that
ghouls were robbing the bodies of the
victims and a special train bearing
twenty-five Pittsburg police was hur-
ried to the scene.
The first section of the train, con
sisting of six coaches and a baggag
car, bore the Royal Battalion of En-
gineers of the Ohio State National
Guard, and on the second section was
the famous Tippecanoe Club Of Cleve-
land, with a band, and about thirty
women.
The first section was stopped by a
hot box, and the second, following 50
closely that the fiagman had not time
to go back far enough to prevent a
collision, crashed into it while running
at a speed of forty miles an hour.
The rear car was cut open as with
q knife, while the second ear was up
ended by the engine of the following
train, which cut clear through the last
car and into it.
Wreck and fire alone did not kill,
but many died from ~asphyxiation, as
the gas tanks under the Pullman ears
exploded when the trains collided, and
the gas rising in the crushed ears
smothered those already helpless. and
later ignited from the burning jets, en-
veloping the train In a mass Of flame.
Both the trains were entirely de-
stroyed.
When the crash came the passen-
gers in the rear car of the first train
were the principal sufferers. and it is
said that nearly all the fatalities were
In this car. A large number of the
passengers in the second section were
injured.

Doing Great Work.

Ward, Ark, March 6th-(Special)
From all over the West reports come
of cures of different forms of Kidney
Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills and
this place is not without evidence of
the great work the Great American
Kidney Remedy is doing.
Among the cured here is Mr.. ]. v,
Waggoner, a well known citizen, who,
in an interview, says: "DOdd's Kid
ney Pills have done wonders for me.
My kidneys and bladder were badly
out of order. / used many medicines
but got nothing to cure me till | tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Two boxes of
them liked me up so that l have been
well ever since"
Tell the poor kidney and bladder
diseased people to take Dodd's Kidney
Pills and get we'll"
No case Of kidney complaint is too
far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to
cure. They are the only remedy that
has W. cured Bright's Disease.

Chance to Win a Fortune.

Few discoveries, it is claimed, would
have greater or more immediate value
than that of an artificial substitute for
India rnhher, IT means a fortune TO the
one lucky enough TO perfect the idea in
q commercially practical manner. A re-
cent bulletin of the Department of Com
merce shows that between 1894 and 1904
the importations of India rubber into
the United States increased from $10,-
100000 to about $4,000, 900, and that
during this period the total value of the
rubber imported was $40, DOC, 900. Coin
cidently, the value of crude rubber in
creased from about 43 cents a pound to
about 20 cents, and the quantity requir-
Cd in the industries Of this country In
1904 was about 81 10000 pounds. The
Brazilian supply is failing, and the
quantity available from other sources
Is not likely to permit the industries
dependent upon 1t to experience the
growth their Importance would warrant
rs in expecting. They now employ
about S40,000,o00 Of capital.

NEW L o FOR OIL MEN.

The Prairie Oil and Gas Company, the
Kansas branch of the Standard Oil Com
pany, has issued an order to the effect
that hereafter no Kansas oil testing be.
low 80 degrees gravity will be bought
by the company. This affects nearly two.
thirds OF the Kansas product. The order
is characterized as the hardest blow YET
struck by the Prairie Company at tn,
Kansas oil producers.
John O'Brien, vice president of the
Prairie Company, in explaining the order
said:
"Oil below 30 degrees gravity is unde
sirable. 1t has no value for refining
purposes and it is impossible TO find a
market for fuel"
The gravity of Kansas oil is 20 to 81
degrees. The average is 2S.

Tibetan Superstition.

A queer bit Of Tibetan superstition
came to light when the much talked
of treaty between Tibet and England
was drawn up. The powers at Lhasa
refused TO sign the first draft Of the
treaty because it covered several sheets
of paper, SO the treaty had to be en-
crossed on one huge sheet. The ORR
entails thought 1T would bring them bad
luck if they put their anne to any
thing which covered more than one
page.
