But far in excess of this chemical action of water in dissolving the rocks Is it's mechanical action. Some streams are always muddy. All streams are muddy during high water By estimating the flow Of a stream and the amount of sediment carried along in every gallon of water at diff ferent stages of it's flow it is possible to get q fair estimate of the total amount of material carried off from the drainage basin in any given tf1ne.
 Everyone knows that the lower Mississippi is very muddy. and that a considerable amount of sediment will settle even in a tumDerful of water. Indeed. the cities along the Mississippi and ifs larger tributaries are often taunted with drinking make-believe lemonade, and it is said that those who drink Missouri river water before it settles are compelled to pick their teeth after every glass; while those who Use 1t assert that the settling of the sediment acts like a filter and puri- ties the water.
 The actual investigations of Hon. phreys and Abbott, the engineers who had the work in charge, showed that

 Until a short time ago the erosive power of moving water was chiefly thought of in connection with the waves which thunder against all rock bound coasts, and with the great rivers which seam all mountain Hanks with deep gorges and canyons. and wind in serpentine course through the border ing valleys. But more careful atten- ton to the facts makes it clear that these play but a minor part in the great movements that are constantly blaming down the continents to the level of the sea- The greater part of the work which is so rapidly going on of wearing down the hills and fill ing ID all lakes and bays and extend ing the coast line out into the sea is accomplished by the action of innu- merable less conspicuous and less noisy agents.
 Over the eastern part of the United States about three feet of water falls annually About two-thirds of this Is eyaporated and goes directly back to the sky without aiding the great eyosive process which is going on. But the remaining 12 inches of water that flows of from the surface and finds it's way to the sea is al agent Of tre- mendous capacity Through the streams which carry of this surplus precipitation from the eastern United States 250 cubic miles Of water are

the surface and sometimes ia still deeper underground channel through which it has found it's way. In general the river valleys are larger where they cross limestone regions than they are where they cross rocks with less soluble material. Many of the valleys in Pennsylvania. Kentucky, West Vir- chain have evidently been formed by this excessive action of water in dis solving limestone rocks. It is estimated that the Nittany valley in Pennsyl- vania has been deepened 1000 feet be- low that of the adjoining region by the sole agency of this chemical action of water upon the limestone rock.

ln the lower Mississippi one fifteen hundredth of the water by weight was sediment, and that in addition a large amount of gravel and sand was con. stantly being pushed along the bottom Of the river. Altogether they found that 150,000 900 cubic feet of sand earth and gravel were being carried every year into the Gulf Of Mexico by this river alone. This would form prism 268 feet in height, with a base ot enc square mile and would weigh the enormous amount of SIP 800 O00.- 00j pounds. This would make every year Q railroad embankment 50 feet vide and 26 feet high more than II 900 miles long; or a mountain mile square and mile high every 20 years.
 Of course, all this solid material which is carried into the Gulf of Mexi. co by the Mississippi river is so much soil removed from the surface of the country from which the waters have been gathered. A simple calculation shows that when We add together the solid material carried into the Missis. sippi as sediment and that held in chemical solution. it is sufficient to re- move one foot of soil from the entire Mississippi basin stretching from the Rocky mountains to the Alleghenies in less than 5000 years. But the Missis- sippi river Is eroding it's valley at a much slower rate than many other rivers are doing. The River Rhone is eroding it's drainage basin a foot in about 1.200 years, and the Hoang-Ho ln China one foot in about 1 100 years. while the Upper Ganges is lowering it's basin at the rate of one foot in TOO years and the Pc one foot in little over 500 years
 From these figures it will appear that the continents are not the stable masses which they are ordinarily SUD. posed to be. and that If We refer to the hills as "eternal' We are not using scientific language. but figure of speech. Were there no counteractine forces North America, at the present rate at which the rivers are washing 1t into the sea, would all disappear. ex. eept few of it's table lands and nsnn. tains. in about 2.OO0Oo0 years

FULL TRAIN CREW.
Freight Trains Must Be Operated by
Not Less Than Six Men.

The New York Central and Hudson
River r. r. must establish so-called
full train crew" on its Pennsylvania
division between Dresden and Lyons,
according to an order issued by the
public service commission in the Sec
ond district. The order provides that
freight trains must he operated with
a crew of not less than six men, con
ductor, engineer, fireman, flagman and
two brakemen. 1t will compel the
company to employ an extra man.
The complaint in this matter was
made by Arthur j. Evans Of Corning,
representing the Brotherhood OF Rail
way Trainmen. and followed the veto
by Governor Hughes Of the so-called
"full train crew BILL in which the
governor gave as one Of his reasons
for vetoing the bill that matters Of
this nature should be regulated by the
public service commission.

FIRE ENDS FOUR LIVES. Y
Boy Who Was Looking at Ruins Killed
by Falling Chimney.

oy aIlln9 NnImncys
Johnstown, Pa, Oct. 20.-Four chill
dren lost their lives because of fire
which destroyed the home of Luke De-
laney at Summit shortly after 2 o'clock
Sunday morning.
The dead: Morris Delaney, aged IA !;
Gerland Delaney, aged 9; Esther De.
laney, aged IS months; Andrew Nagle,
aged Is.
Mrs. Luke Delaney, mother of the
children, is at Memorial hospital in
this city with burns about the head, a
sprained ankle and badly bruised
arms.
Following the triple fatality from
fire death brooded over the scene and
at 6 a. M, while a crowd of curious
ones stood about the ruins, n falling
chimney instantly killed young Nagle,
who was the son of Alexander Nagle.
and seriously injured Wilson Judge,
aged 10, son of Charles Judge, and Il
young son of James Parrish. The
Nagle, Judge and Parrish families
are prominent at Summit and at Cres-
son.
Luke Delaney, head of the family,
has been away from home for two
weeks the last seen of him being
when he. drew his pay for work done
on the state road at Cresson. He had
previously been employed at the Cres-
son foundry.
Two years ago George Delaney,
about 16 years old, eldest child OF the
family, was accidentally shot md kill
ed by his brother, Morris, while the
latter was handing him a gun at the
reservoir near Summit. The tragic
death of their eldest son caused fire.
Quent quarrels between Mr.. and Mrs.
Delaney, it is said, the father blaming
his wife for allowing the boys to take
the shotgun during his absence.

COAL TAKEN FROM
The MISSISSIPPI,
Natives Find Cargo Of a Tow
Lost n Years Ago.

Pittsburg, Oct. 2O.-Pittsburg coal
is being taken from beneath the sur
face of the Mississippi, at Hickman,
Ky, by the natives. It is the real
Pittsburg vein, too, and the low stage
of the water enables the natives to get
bosses, blasts, roofing and all that sort
of equipment. 1t appears marvellous
on the surface, for it is not known
where a vein of coal will crop out
This is not cropping out, however.
Investigation discloses that the coal
is a cargo that was lost thereabout
fourteen years ago. II was covered by
the river sand and soon lost to COM
merce, but with the high stage of the
river last spring the course of the
river was altered and the bank cut
out. The low water Of the past month
left the coal uncovered where the
sand had been washed away.
The coal was the cargo of tow of
twenty-eight coal boats, carrying 70O,-
600 bushels, and being towed by the
Thomas Rees. 1t was lost in ter
rife spring wind storm. The ship
ment was made by the Mckinley Coal
company before the River Coal com
pany was organized. The cargo was
insured and no attempt was ever
made to recover 1t. It was valued Mt
$25,OOO
One of the officers of the Mckinley
Coal company was amused at the re-
port of the finding of the Plttsburg
vein in the Mississippi, and said that
the natives would not be prevented
from getting In their winters supply
so long as the "vein" held out.

TELEPOST NOW IN OPERATION
New Wire Service lnaugurated In Bos-
ton Last Week.

The Telepost company inaugural
ed at Boston on Thursday it's sys-
TEN of receiving and sending mes
sages. The Delany method controlled
by the company, the newest and most
rapid method of transmitting intelli-
gence electrically, in connection with
the postofiice delivery system, is now
an actual fact in American life.
With the transmission of the first
Telepost message from Boston to Port
land, Me-, handed to the Telepost op-
orator there by Mayor Hibbard of Bos-
ton, the Telepost was put into opera
tion between the two cities, the line
including the following way stations
Lowell Mass; Lawrence, Mass;
Haverhill, Mass; Exeter, N. H.; Ports
mouth, N. H.; Dover. N. H.; Bidde-
ford, Me-; Saco, Me-, and Old Orchard,
Me. In each of these cities there is
now Telepost office prepared to re-
ceiye and transmit messages.
The Telepost transmits and receives
messages at the rate of a thousand
words a minute, from twenty to forty
times as many as any other telegraph
system now in operation. The Tele-
post utilizes the full carrying capacity
Of the wire, while others get only 10
per cent.
While the service just inaugurated
includes only the cities named above,
the Telepost company has already
closed contracts to make rapid extern
sions from Boston in other directions.

Is REFUGEES BURNED
Ill-Fated Relief Train Ditched
by Spreading Rails.

Terrified Occupants Forced to Aban-
don the Cars and Run For Safety
Down the Track or Into Ploughed
Fields - Brakeman Barrett Sprang
Into Water Tank and Was Boiled
to Death-Conducto and Engineer
Badly Scorched.
Fifteen people lost their lives in
the burning of the Detroit and Mack
inaw railway relief train which
was carrying the inhabitants of the
little village of Metz, twenty-three
miles north of Alpena, Mich, to safety
from the forest fires which were
sweeping away their homes.
The Inflated train was ditched by
spreading rails at Nowich Siding, a
few miles south of Metz and the ter
rified refugees were forced to abandon
the cars and rush for safety either
down the track with burning forests
on either side, or into the ploughed
fields near the siding.
Eleven of the victims were women
and children who were unable to es-
cape quickly enough from the gon-
dola car which they were occupying.
Their charred bodies were found there
when rescuers reached the scene.
Two of the men victims were men,
bers of the train crew.
-Four additional fatalities occurred
In the neighborhood of the wreck
Thursday night. Mr.. and Mrs Fred
Wagner died from heat and exhaus-
ton on their farm near the scene of
the wreck and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Nowickl, Jr., lost their lives in their
burning house near the siding where
the wreck occurred.
When the forest fires closed in on
Thursday about the little village a
special train of three empty box cars
and two coal gondoas was rushed to
Metz.
AS rapidly as possible the people
anu tlltll Subuo were lOdubu Ill lHt
cars. When the train started there
were about 100 frightened people
aboard. The flames We're already
sweeping through the village
Nearing Nowicki crossing, the en-
gineer saw blazing piles of cedar ties
on both sides of the track Opening
wide the throttle, he tried to dash
through at full speed, but the heat
had loosened the rails and they had
spread and the train left the track.
Brakeman William Barrett sprang
into the water tank behind the engine
only to be literally boiled to death as
the flames swept over it. Engineer
Foster and Conductor Kinville fed
down the track through the fire and
smoke and were the first to reach the
village of Posen and report the wreck
and ask for assistance.
Behind them struggled a burned and
wounded procession Of refugees from
the wrecked train. 1t was a fearful
march over the hot ties with the
flames from the burning woods on
either side of the track roaring and
swapping In their faces.
