BOTTOM OF TROPICAL SEA
WILL BE REPRODUCED IN
BASEMENT OF MUSEUM

NEW YORK, May 2s.--Dr. r. E
Dahlgren OF the American Museum of
Natural History has just returned
from the Bahama islands, bringing
with him nearly 200 cases of coral
1t is the purpose of Dr. H. C. Bum
pus, director of the museum, to cut
out a section of the first floor of the
museum building and reproduce below
the level of the floor a representation
of the bottom of the sea, showing coral
reefs in all stages of development. The
section OF floor to be cut out will be
by 80 feet.
When the reproduction of the reef
and sea bottom have been completed
the flooring will be replaced by a rec
tangle OF heavy plate glass. The work
so far has been quite expensive, and
the actual installation of the reef will
be a task of very tedious AMI deli
cate character, requiring six months
for completion. 1t will be begun ut
once under the direction of DIR. Dahl
gren and Mr. Miller, also of the mu-
scum, who went to the Bahamas with
the doctor.
Or. Dahlgren while in the Baha amas
got an unusually complete collection OF
coral and scores of excallent photo
graphs showing the live and tender
rolyps in the actual coral making.

Three May Die-Physicians
Hurried to Scene

CONNELESVILLE, Pa, May 29.-
Twenty -eight passengers were seri-
ously, three of them probably fatally
wounded, shortly before noon today
when the observation parlor car on
the Royal Blue flyer train on the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, bound from
Chicago to New York, left the rails
two miles from Garrett, Pa. and

2 o'clock, however, it was emphatlcal-
ly stated by the railroad officials there
were no fatalities.
The injured were hurried aboard a
special train and taken to Cumberland,
Md, where hospital accommodations
had been prepared. The train, which
is one of the finest on the system, left
Pittsburg this morning at 8 O'Clock.
Owing to the warm weather conditions
prevailing, the observation parlor car
was taken advantage of by as many
passengers as could secure accommoda-
tions. When the train reached point
two miles east of Garrett and while
roundinga sharp cure the observation
car swung from the track.
The train was running on schedule
time and like the crack of whip the
coupling snapped and the observation
car was thrown down an embankment.

A number of them who were seated
on the platform under an awning were
pitched far into the air alighting clear
of the wreck, but among stones and
cinders, causing painful injuries to all
The injured were given hasty lnedi-
cal attention and placed aboard the
special train.
