TWO TRAIN WRECKS
ACCIDENTS ON COAST LINE AND
 WESTERN.
Engineer Mcwhorter of No. 07 Hurt in Breakdown at East Point Other Mishaps at Pinck-
 ard.

There were. train wrecks on the Wes- tern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line yesterday that delayed trafic for quite awhile.
 Two heavily loaded freight cars in an extra freight train going West on the Atlantic Coast Line got off the track at Pinckard. The rails and cross ties were torn up for some distance and traffic was blocked completely. Train No. @57, the through passenger from Jacksonville due at S;05 a. m., did not get in yesterday morning: The 'Dothan and Luverne accommodation train due at 0:S0 a. m., did not get In yesterday morning. Both the Jackson vile passenger train and the Dothan accommodation train were consolidated and reached Montgomery at ' o'clock last night.
 The track is clear now and trains are running as usual
 An accident occurred to train No. 91. the New York and New Orleans fast mail due in Montgomery at S:17 a. m, about 2 o'clock yesterday morning that was almost serious in it's results.
 The train had left Atlanta an hour late and was coming west pretty fast when the accident occurred. At East point, a few miles out of Atlanta, the 1 tracks of the Central and Western come | together. and the engine oI the hylIls No 97, "straddled" both tracks, throw ing the big machine with It's tender | diagonalIy across the track. l Engineer McWhorter had his oack hadIy snrained and was bruised con- I siderably, but he was not injured se- | riously. - =. ... | train and both of them were derailed | but none of the clerks in them was l hurt.

 By strange freak the engine that
 ,uss nressed into service in place of inc one that was wrecked split switch | a few feet from tho scene of the accf- dent and a third engine had to bring the train to Montgomery, reaching here | several hours late.

pear on the banks of the Nile. The Egyptians worshipped the stars of this group because at this time the rise of the great river occurred. As might be expected the sign was astrologically considered most fortunate, yet ancient physicians thought that when the sun was in this group all medicine be- came poisonous. possibly not without reason when we consider the medicines which they administered, and hearing thunder at this time was supposed to presase the deaths of great men. The observer can readily trace out the beautiful sickle forming the western half of the constellation. and which even thus carly in the year gives prom ise of the harvest time to come.
 Below Leo is the head of the Water Snake, Hydra, the entire constellation extending one-quarter of the way around the sky. Its brighest star is the orange colored star at.

At twelve hours fifty-seven min utes a. m, the center of the moon VIII be at c and the eclipse will begin; at one hour. fifty-eight minutes the centor will have reached D, and the moon will then be completely in the shadow. At any intermediate time the moon will be partly in the shadow and partly outside of 1t. It's appearance at intervals of fifteen minutes is shown in figure Q. The center of the moon will reach B at three hours thtrty-six minutes a. m., at which instant the moon will begin to emerge, reaching the point F, and thus ending the eclipse at four hours thirty-six minutes a. m.
 Sometimes when the mon IS wholly within the shadow, it Is totally invis- ibIe, but more frequently 1t is illumi- mated by faint greenish or copper colored light. In the former case we know that along the great circle or the earth in which the shadow cone touches it the skies are cloudy Tn the latter they are clear and more or less sunlight is bent downward into the shadow cone by tho refraction or the air. Usually however the talnt light of the moon continually changes
 in intensity and color as the eartn

On a clear night the sky now pre- sents the most brilliant appearance or the entire way.

Low down In the, west the two faint autumn groups, the Whale and the Fishes. still finger with us, and the upper half of the very long faint constellation Evidanus. may also be seen, although the rest of the mighty river has sunk below the ground. As Evidanus sinks in the west, there begins to emerge from below the ground In the east the head of the similar. enormously long, faint group known as Hydra, or the Water Snake.
 The magnificent blue star. Sirius. is now exactly south; just above is the brilliant Orion and the lesser Dog Star Procyon, while the twin stars, Castor and Pollux, are nearly overhead.

A DOLPHIN AS PILOT.

"Pelorous Jack" is the name of an
old dolphin which is protected by q
special act of the New Zealand Lepis.
lature. The official proclamation Of
the government prohibits any inter
ference with Pelorous Jack. under q
penalty of $500. VsE s.fse ,o'Ss. -,
According to an old sailors tale, a
shoal of dolphins grounded on the
shores of Cook Strait 40 years ago,
and one of them escaped into the sea.
That one. which is now acknowledged
to be Pelorous Jack, never left the
locality where he lost his COM
paaions. and she is now protected by
law as he has always been by senti.
ment."
The most remarkable fact of all is
the reason for the passage of the law,
which is that Pelorous Jack acts as
a most effective pilot, escorting all
kinds of vessels in and out of the
French Pass, Cook Strait, always
keeping to deep water. As he il
never absent from his duties, tn,
proclamation has been received with
keen satisfaction throughout Austral
lasia by sailors who have to use tn,
