trated the surrounding earth, and the
house was far above its normal tenn
Derature when he awoke.
The sun had risen in cloudless sky.
A lovely spring morning had succeed
ed night Of gloom and disaster, and
the first sound that greeted his Won
dering ears was the twittering of the
busy sparrows on the housetops. OF
course he owned neither clock nor
watch. These articles, with many 9TH
ers, were represented by bundle of
pawn tickets stuffed into one OF the
envelopes Of his mothers packet of
letters. But the experience OF even a
few weeks had taught him roughly
bow to estimate time by the sun, and
he guessed the hour TO be 8 o'clock or
thereabouts.
His first thought was of the meteor.
His toilet was that of primeval man,
being a mere matter of rising and
stretching his stiff limbs. While lac
ing his boots he noticed that the floor
was Uttered with tiny white specks,
the largest of which was not bigger
than grain of bird seed. These were
the particles which shot through the
broken window during the previous
night. He picked up a few and ex-
amined them. They were hard, cold
TO the touch and dull white color.
On entering the yard he saw hun
dreds of these queer little rough peb-
bles, many Of them as large as peas,
some the size of marbles and few
bigger ones. They had evidently
flown on all sides, but, encountering
lofty walls, save where they forced a
way through the thin glass of the
window, had fallen back to the ground.
Interspersed with them he found
pieces of broken stone and jagged
Jumps of material that looked and felt
like iron.
BY this time the meteor itself had
cooled sufficiently to reveal the nature
Of its outer crust. 1t appeared to be
IN amalgam of the dark ironlike min
eral and the white pebbles. Through
one deep assure he could still see the
fiery heart of the thing, and he i'm
agined that when the internal heat
had quite exhausted itself the great
ball would easily break into pieces,
for 1t was rent in all directions.
His first exclamation was one Of
thankfulness.
II am jolly glad that thing didn't fall
on my head" he said aloud, forgetting

the requisite implements. On its lower
side it was probably still red hot.
as they were, he could easily. feel the
heat of the ground. so the experiment
must be deferred for twenty-four
hours, perhaps longer. At any rate,
he was sure that his mysterious WIS.,
itor represented a realizable asset, and
Nthe knowledge gave him sudden dis
taste for coffee grounds and stale
crusts. He resolved to spend his re-

DECISION
QUESTIONED
One Federal Court Rules
Directly Opposite to
Another.

St. Paul. Minn., Nov. 27.-lhe
United States court OF appeals OF
the Eighth Judicial district gave q
decision yesterday directly opposed
to a decision OF the circuit court
of appeals for the Sixth district,
embracing Ohio, Michigan, Ken
lucky and tennessee, that a rail
road becomes subject to federal
control only when the railroad
lines cross the border of the
state.
The case was that of the United
States vs.. The Colorado and North
" estern railroad,in which the judg-
ment of the district court of Col
crado was reversed, and a new
trial OF the case ordered. The Col
orado and Northwestern railroad is
chartered in the state OF Colorado
and the United States brought &C
ton against the road to recover
penalty in the cases OF alleged
violation OF the Interstate COM
merce safety appliance law. IN
that the Colorado and Northwest
ern accepted two distinct shipments
of freight from other lines IN
cars which were not equipped with
automatic ,couplers.
The district court instructed the
Jury for the defendant. The case
came to the circuit court OF ap'
peals on writ OF error. Judge
Vandeventer concurred with Judge
Sanborn, who held in effect that
the railway becomes subject to
federal control, when 1t carries
interstate commerce; the defendant
having accepted freight from lines
coming from without the state
although the road itself was not
an interstate carrier. Judge Phii-
ips dissented, holding that the
railway was bound to accept
freight, and passengers under
that charter ~ whomsoever ten
dered.
