The second robbery was committed
on the Warsaw-Fienna railway. six
miles from Warsaw. While the train
was under way, unknown persons
pulled the danger signal, causing it
to stop. Robbers. who were aboard
jumped out. seized the locomotive, de.
tached the mail car from the train
and ran it down the line. The postal
car contained a package of 100000 in
cash from abroad and at least $4,000
additional funds. The actual amount
taken by the robbers cannot as yet be
definitely stated. as the documents at
tached to the money parsels are miss
Ing.
The robbers evidently were fully
informed that the train had the money
on board They carried red flags. and
are supposed to be members Of Pol

without a guard. and hence there was
no fighting and no casualties. Efforts
to capture the robbers failed.

plices.

METEORIC BODIES.
Mineral Masses That Are WhirIins
Through Space.

The realms of space contain
probably innumerable masses OF
solid iron or other minerals which
are whirling along at an incalcula-
BILE rate. Occasionally these masses
come within a comparatively few
miles of the earth's atmosphere,
and then instead of crashing to the
ground, CARRYING devastation in
their paths, they suddenly become
terrifcally hot and melt away into
an incandcscent gas. This is what
is going on when we see what is
wrongly called a shooting star"
Stars do not shoot. The sudden
flash we see is the result of the fric-
ton between the mcteoric body and
our air. The former travels at such
a rate as to generate an enormous
heat. Occasionally, however, solid
masses do not become completely
vaporized, but fall to the earth with
a great force. 4 stone fell in 1855
on the coast opposite Zanzibar 1t
was picked up by some children
herding cattle. and all the tribe
gathered to anoint it with oil and
ornament it with stuffs and pearls
as true divinity come from heav-
en-. The missionary warnings were
UNDECIDED, One day the warlike
NASSAU attacked the tribe and
slaughtered them. whereupon the
survivors lost faith in their fetch
and sold it to the Munich museum.
At Void Newton. in Yorkshire,
England, a meteorite fell over Il
century ago. Scientists were only
then seriously considering such
falls. On Sunday afternoon, Dec.
IL, 1875, in misty weather during
thunder and lightning at a distance
suddenly there came a noise like an
explosion. A farm servant was so
near that he was struck bv some Of
the earth thrown up BY the stone
as it plunged into the ground. 1t
excavated a hole more than three
feet in diameter and was found i'm
bedded fast in the chalk rock.
This meteoritc is about as big as
a mans head and can be seen in
the British museum. Aerolites pass
with enormous speed across the
vault OF the heavens. As the aero
lite falls its speed is greatly reduced
as it passes through the ever thick
ening atmospheric strata qntil final
ly it deScends to he earth.
