not enough attention to the art Of ~

given 10 the motive power.

time trying to find literature on the

go into that field, we at last did find

them. that all the failures-and all the

BARS SECRET WEDDINGS.
Couples In New York Must New Get
A License.

New York Especially Hitherto 1t
has not been necessary for couples
to secure a marriage license in order
to be married in this state. Begin
ming with the New Year the new law
suggested and approved by Governor
Hughes will go into effect
The new bureau for the issuance of
licenses to persons to be married was
opened at the city clerks office, in
the city hall. The new law provides
that the intending bride and bride
groom shall appear at the bureau
and apply for the license, or affidavit
to marry" as it is called. No mat
ter who the parties may be, rich or
poor, official or layman, they must
answer the questions put to them in
order to obtain the license. Then
they may go where they please to be
married.
The corporation counsel delivered
an opinion that the city clerk m ght
issue licenses before the year 1908
began, when the law goes into effect,
so that those intending to be wed on
New Years Day might get their IL
censes ahead CT time.

SERIOUS WRECK
ON THE PENNSYLVANIA
-Four Persons Injured ard Property
Loss Heavy.

Pittsburg, Pa. Especially. - Four
persons were injured, heavy property
loss was sustained and three tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad were
blockaded for the night by two
wrecks near Bolivar, Pa, 58 miles
east OF here, at Z o'clock P. M. Ex-
ira freight train No 1854 left the
rails of Track No. because of a
broken rail, Il is believed, and 20
cars were smashed and piled up over
tracks Nos. 2 and 3.
Almost Immediately after the acci-
dent to the freight, No. is, known as
the Chicago mail, running at high
speed to make up lost time, reach
ed the point on track No. 2, and
plowed into the debris with terrific
force. Every person on the train
was badly jolted and shaken up, many
OF the passengers being thrown from
their seats.
None of the passenger cars left
the tracks, but a number of the win
dows we're broken and several per-
sons were cut by flying glass. At
the office of the company here 1t is
stated that one mail clerk was Sc
verely bruised and bumped by be-
ing thrown against the side Of his
car and that three passengers were
more or less cut and bruised. No
one on the freight train was injured.
The mail train consisted OF five
mail cars, two express cars and three
day coaches, drawn by two locomo-
tives. The front locomotive was al
most completely demolished
After a delay of three and a half
hours the passenger train was run
back to the first crossover, transfer
red to No. track and continued east.
All of the injured remained on the
train.
The tracks under the freight
wreckage are thought to be consid-
erably damaged. The freight cars
were all loaded and the loss is heavy.

THREE ARE KILLED
AND MANY INJURED
Fatal Collision on Pennsylvania
Elevated.
THE wREcEAGE is SET ON FIRE
Prompt Action of the Camden Fire
Department In ExtInguishing the
Flames and Splendid Rescue Work of
the Uninjured Passengers Prevents
Further Casualties.

Camden, N. j. Especially Three
persons we're killed and 1s injured
in a collision on the elevated tracks
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Just
outside the station here, when q
Pemberton accommodation train ran
Into the rear of an Atlantic City ex-
press.
All those killed or injured were
passengers in the first car of the
Pamberton accommodation. Both
trains were due in Camden Station
at s.31, the Atlantic City Express
having precedence. The fog was 80
thick that the engineers Of the two
trains we're running cautiously, and
Just outside the station the Atlantic
City train was slgnaled to stop.
The engineer OF the Pemberton
train failed to see the Atlantic City
train in time to avoid a collision, but
he instantly 1ammed his brakes down
hard when It loomed up through the
fog. The sudden Jolt forced the ten
der of the Pemberton train into the
first car, wrecking it BADLY and either
killing or injurlng everybody in the
coach.
The train, however, did not come
to a full stop, but slid into the rear
Of the Atlantic City Express, causing
the tender to still further telescope
the first car. The force of the col
lision was slight, and no one was in
iured on the forward train.
Hot Goals from the wrecked loco
motive of the Pemberton train set
the wreckage on fire, and it was at
first feared that many Of the injured
passengers who were pinioned under
the heavy twisted iron and wood
would be burned to death, but the
prompt action of the Camden fire de-
partment in extinguishing the flames
and the efficient rescue work of the
uninjured passengers undoubtedly
saved many lives. Several of the
injured may die.

DOOM OF THE EARTH.
Geological Changes That VIII Come

Boston, Mass. Especially - 1T is
the doom of the earth" said Prof.
Percival Lowell In his lecture before
the College Club, ito be covered with
deserts like Mars, and the time will
come when water in this world OF
ours will be far more precious than
gold.
THE kinetic theory of matter re-
minds us that a small body will lose
its gases rapidly, as compared with a
larger one, and that is why the moon
has already lost les air. For like
reasons the seas rass away, and,
though Mars once had seas, there are
none on the planet now and no ac-
cumulations of water more than 20
miles across. The only water left in
Mars is that which is gathered semi
annually at its polar caps.
Mars thus lacks water supply
and, leaving out the question of can
ais, we are led to recognize from the
general conditions Of the planet that
1t supports some form of organic
life-a form which is peculiarly and
manifestly beholden to the polar
caps'
