ROCK WRECKS FLYER;
FOG HIDES THE TRACK.
Pennsylvania Eighteen-Hour Train
Meets Accident-Those in Berths
Are Shaken Up.

Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-The Penn
sy]vania special, the 18-hour flyer
from Chicago to New York, struck
rock at Newton Hamilton, SO miles
west of Harrisburg, shortly AFTER 8
a. m. yesterday, wrecking the train.
Official reports to the company in
this city say that beyond severe
shaking up no one was severely in
jured.
A heavy fog obscured the tracks at
the time the accident occurred, and
the engineer had no time to slacken
the speed Of the train before striking
the rocks which had fallen from the
hillside. The Pullman, the combina-
ton smoker, baggage car and three
sleepers were derailed, the engine and
first two cars turning over on their
side. The last car remained on the
track.
All the passengers were still in their
berths, and were thrown about and
badly shaken up. The number of
passengers on the train was very
small. They are being brought east
d, d.,
shortly afterward.
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 16.-One passen-
ger was killed and eight others in
jured, some of them seriously, when
three coaches of Missouri Pacific
passenger train left the rails at
Union, a small station 40 miles south
of here
Tom G. Barnum, a stockman of
Union, was killed. The injured are:
Frank Heavrin, South Omaha; Amos
McNamee, Omaha; M. E. Thomas,
Omaha; Oslo Hustin, Plattsmouth;
c. Massey, Unadilla; Gus King, South
Omaha; j. E. Goldsmith, Omaha, and

The wreck is said to have been
the result of spreading rails

NN1E have already learned some
wv thing Of the value of water
as plant food. This is

only one of it's minor uses,
however In addition to the water
which is decomposed by the plant and
used IN making starch and other prod
ucts, many times as much is used for
other purposes. One of the PRINCIPAL
of these is dissolving plant food and
carrying 1t upward to the leaves Aft
er reaching the leaves most of the wa
ter Is evaporated, leaving in the leaf
cells the materials which 1t brought
up.
The cells Of which the leaves are
made are very delicate and depend for
their stiffness on the water which they
contain. Without this water they
would collapse in the same way a BIZ
cycle tire does when the air is let out
This is the very thing that happens
when the leaves wilt The rise Of
water from the roots has been checked
In some way, and as evaporation still
continues the leaf cells become partly
emptied and shrink up.
The leaves are not entirely helpless
at such time, however. On each side
OF the tiny pores on the underside Of
the leaf Is a cell known as guard
cell. When the supply Of moisture
begins to fail, these guard cells shrink
up and In doing so close the openings,
thus checking evaporation. In some
plants, like corn, the leaves curl up at
such a time, thus still further lessen
ing the rate Of evaporation OF course
when leaf is wilted in this manner
the work of building up plant tissues
Is seriously checked This often hap
pens during the dry weather of July
and August, when the soil becomes so
dry that the roots have difficulty in
obtaining the needed moisture. The
checking Of development which results
often reduces the yield Of corn as
much as twenty to thirty bushels per
acre and that of other crops in pro-
portion. For every pound Of dry
matter in mature plant from 300 to
500 pounds of water have been brought
up by the roots and evaporated from
the leaves One of the most impor-
tant factors in the production Of
a plentiful water supply within easy
reach Of the roots.
There are three classes Of water in
the soil. The first is known as ground
water and is that water which col
lects In a hole dug in a wet soil or
runs of through the tile in drained
land. The second is the capillary
water and is that which Is left be-
tween the soil particles after the
ground water has been drawn off.
The ground water is affected by grav-
1tation, while the capillary water is
not
If a sample Of soil that looks per-
fectly dry Is placed in an oven and
heated for some time it will be found
that Is has lost considerably in weight,
owing to moisture being driven off.
This is the third class, or microscopic
moisture. This, of course Is Of no
value to the plant, since the roots
cannot extract moisture from an air
dry soil. Neither can they use the
ground water. This is really a dam
age In the upper two or three feet Of
soil, since it so fills the spaces that
the roots cannot get enough air.
During rain the ground water
passing through the soil draws con-
siderable air with it. AS soon as the

Martins Ferry, O., Feb. 16.-George

made the circuit of the fairs with him
and then took him to Chicago, where he
won first prize in a big class and the
steer which won first at Des Moines,
was also on exhibition, but was not

ton of the ideas Of the paper would
do away with much of the medivalism
now seen in teaching. He, however.
would welcome this change, and homes
that the teachers will do all possible
to bring it about.
Professor johnson of Hillsboro
spoke commencing the study OF
geometry and the making of the
study concrete, and asked for further
light that he might make it yet more
real to the pupils. AS his question
was not answered, we take it for
granted that there are many others
who would like light on the same
thing.
Professor Chandler advocated tho
appealing to the common sense Of a
thing more and to the Journalism SO
much Of which is seen in geometry
less. He said that pupils should be
asked: is it reasonable? rs it trlie9
Professor Travis thought that ri4u h
of the trouble in teaching geometry
might be avoided If the construction
were made in conformity to the hypo-
thesis. He said that it is the common
plan to make. say, two triangles equal
that they are equal This is wrong.
He protested against the long artiti-
cial forms of explanation which the
pupils are so often compelled TO use.
Professor McArdle seconded this
protest and reminded the assembly
that the work in geometry or arith-
metic is often made a mere language
lesson.
Professor McMullen said In part:
What we have heard is revolutionary.
What are we going to do? I do not
know. Shall / bring a steam engine
into the class room first or shall /
teach physics first and let the pupil
apply this knowledge to the engine
when he has opportunity? Is there
not some mental discipline?'
