EIGHTEEN KILLED AND MANY INJURED
In STREET CAR COLLISION In BERLIN

Berlin. Sept. 26.-Two trains on the
Berlin elevated RAILROAD were in col
lision early this afternoon. AS result
eighteen persons are dead, eight seri-
ously and many others slightly injured.
Most of the deaths resulted from con-
tact with the electric rails.
The accident was caused by a mis-
placed signal. One of the cars, which
was crowded with passengers, was
thrown into the street forty feet below
and shattered. The greatest mortality
was in this car.
The police were quickly at the scene
and the work of eXtricating the dead
and wounded was begun. Ambulances

TITLECO.INNEWHOME
Took Two Months to Move Its Records
With the Assistance Of 100 Employees.

The Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust
Company has at last completed the din
cult task of moving its various depart
ments from the Chamber OF Commerce
Building. at 80 Liberty street. and it's own
building. at 81 Liberty street. to the tall
structure which it has erected at 100
Broadway. The task Of completing the
removal OF the oompany's Offices and
plant to its new Broadway structure
has been an enormous one and has taken
more than two months time. occupying
not only the company's 700 employees
but also an immense staf Of outsiders
especially competent to accomplish work
OF this kind.
The company's new building is on the
east side Of Broadway, between Liberty
street and Maiden lane. Nowhere else
in the world Is there to be found a build
ing more completely equipped and soi-
entifcally planned for the accommoda-

The company was founded by Edwin
W. Coggeshall. who has filed the Office
OF president from 1887. when it began
business with a capital Of $500, 900. until
the present time. 1t occupied at that
time only a small suite OF rooms in the

Some thirty years ago a Swedish pro-
fessor named Lemstrom sought to eluci-
date the aurora borealis by trying to
initiate its appearance by electrical ex-
periments. For this purpose he produced
high tension discharges of various kinds
and sent them through vacuum tubes
until he got an appearance very like those
Of the northern lights.
Some Of these experiments he con-
Quoted In his greenhouse and he noticed
incidentally that the plants seemed to
thrive under the treatment. He also
noticed as remarkable the fourishing
development Of plants in arctic regions,
where the sunlight was very weak, and
he attributed part of this growth to the
influence Of electric discharges.
He says that when the plants in the
north OF Norway, Spitzbergen and Fin
nish Lapland have resisted the frequently
destructive night frosts they show a de-
gree Of development which greatly sur
passes that Of plants in more southern
regions, where the climatic conditions are
more advantageous.
This rich development appears prin-
cipally in the fresh and clear oolors Of the
flowers. in their strong perfume. In the
rapid development Of the leaves on the
trees and their scent, but particularly
in the rich harvest which different seeds
such as rye, oats and barley-will pro-
