Children, in many directions, under
stand more than their elders give
them credit for, and on the other hand
are unable to comprehend many
things that they are assumed to un.
derstand-for example, the reasons for
certain lines Of conduct This is be-
cause they look upon the world with
eyes that see but little of 1t and their
visions Of the years to come are filed
with strange and wonderful things.
They do not know that these coming
years are to be governed by what
they are doing now and can not be
made to understand it by being told.
They must be guided into paths that
lead to a happy future by other means
than mere cold instruction. Their
hearts must be won. In other words,
they must be fathered or mothered in
the best sense. 1t is not always easy
to get child's heart, but when it is
done it is worth while. Sometimes a
hayward boy most readily comes un.
der the influence OF sympatnetio
man, sometimes of woman, but 1t re.
quires the true parental heart in eith-
err case. 1t is working of the old
law that tbs love that makes the
world go round" Love is indeed the
one law that applies to children.

Books crowdinq the Libraries.

The nearest approach to a sky
scraper in Germany is the new royal
library in Berlin, with thirteen stories.
The 100000 books now in it fill 81
kiiometers Of shelves, and there is
room for perhaps 40 kilometers more
1t will take about half century to
fill these. The British museum has
found it necessary to store it's Lews'
paper files in separate building, and
other libraries will, sooner or later.
be obliged to follow the example. Pro
fessor Alois Brandt of Berlin sees In
this the first step of a movement
which will end in providing separate
libraries for different classes of books.
In the meantime, the policy of public
libraries will undergo radical
change. Selection wiz take the place
of an attempt to store every book that
is printed, and experts will be ems
ployed to do the sitting. The appalling
increase in the number of volumes is
sued will Of itself make this change
imperative. OF new books in the Ger
man language alone there were print
ed In Germany, Austria and Switzer
land 30,317 in 1908, as against only
1885 in 1889. The number Of books
which have as ephemeral an interest
as most newspapers is increasing
rapidly.

GAS BLAST BRINGS
DEATH IN NEW YORK
Tank Explodes and Many Victims
Strew StreetsSh Felt
Miles Away.

New York.-Twelve persons were
killed, LOG injured sufficiently to re-
ouire the aid of police and treatment
at public hospitals, ard perhaps twice
that number subjected to minor
hurts in their homes by an explosion
of Pintsch gas in an annex of the
power house of the New York Cen
trail railroad, at Lexington avenue
and Fiftieth street
BY the terrific force of the concus-
sion houses were riven, heavy timbers
were hurled into walls Of masonry,
the building under which the gas had
accumulated crumpled like paper and
the region for many blocks in the vi
cinity of the railroad yards was swept
as by a cyclone.
Damage, which will amount at least
to $250,000. was visited upon the
surrounding property, and the claims
which will be made against the cor
poration will undoubtedly amount to
high figure. Ambitious claim agents
AMI adjusters estimate the property
loss at $2,000,00O.
1t is estimated that fully six thou
sand windows were broken by the
conclusion which rocked the gneiss
underpinnings of Manhattan and
strewed street and avenue with de-
bris.
The damage to the plant of the
New York Central, which may not be
more than $4,000 to $4,000, is tri-
fling as compared with the outlay
which may have to be made to make
good the devastation which was
wrought by the release Of the Titanic
force which swept through the centre
of the metropolis.
The persons known to have lost
their lives were:
Gallucci, Nicola, forty-six years
old, porter in the night shift of the

1t is the theory Of Chief Croker OF
the fire department that a pipe carry.

broken by the timber hurled against
it by the impact of the runaway
train. The ignition was due to an
electric spark in all probability from
some broken electric wire.
The shock of the explosion was

Dead Hand shows Through Ice.

Orange.A boy, shedding in
swamp on the border line of Bloom

hand, which proved to be that of
Harry r. Wicks, the Lackawanna
railroad purchasing clerk, who, on
November 20, was reported missing
from No. 38 Ninth avenue, Orange,
where he had lived for several years
with his wife and three small chill
dren. 1t took an hour to dig the
body out of the ice. The hand and
arm had been extended above the
head, as if signaling for help. The
police found, they said, no marks OF
violence. In the vest pocket was the
watch description OF which had
been sent broadcast by circular. In
the case is the description: Harry
R. Wicks, in memory of Mary A.
Titus. The police say they believe
Wicks fell into the swamp when he
passed that way late at night. The
mans friends assert he never passed
that way to or from New York. The
place is more than two miles from his
home Since the disappearance OF
her husband Mrs. Wicks has been in

Philadelplia,s Horror.

Philadelphia. - Fourteen known
dead, IS firemen and policeman,
and more than fifty injured, of whom
rs are still in hospitals, is the record
of the fire in the leather factory OF
Daniel Friedlander in this city. These
figures were given out by the police
and the city officials believe they have
accounted for all the men who were
at work at the fire when the walls OF
the five-story building fell in on them.
The monetary loss will not exceed
$25, 900.
The number of firemen and police
men injured will total nearly fifty, of
whom several may die. The injured
are scattered in about dozen hospi-,
tails. OF the injured several are in a
critical condition and may die. Most
of those hurt, however, received
wounds OF minor character.
This fire is believed to have been
of incendiary origin.

MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro-
nouncement against gas lighting ~
not the only instance Of clever sci

early history Of submarine cabling fur1
nishes two striking examples. Con-
suited on the scientific side Of the
project, Farady asserted that the fifsr
cables were made too small. Then
be said that "the larger the wire the
more electricity would be required to
charge it," and in this quite wrong
opinion he was supported by other
eminent electricians. AS a result o.
his dictum the current was increased
until the operation literally electro
cuted" the wire and the cable broke
down. It was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy ca
bles with incredibly weak electric
currents proved that Farady was mis-
taken.
Sir G. B. Airy submitted the project
to mathematics and arrived at the
conclusion that q cable could not be
submerged to the necessary DEPTH
and that IL it could no recognizable
signal could ever travel from Ireland
TO Nova Scotia. In aviation Professor
Newcomb, one of the cleyerest mathe.
maticians America has produced, who
died last year, declared that he had
automatically investigated all tho
conditions operating against the heava

[OIG UP DINOSAUR
In PALISADES
Students Find Bones Of Ante.
diluvian Reptile in Jersey.
Belonged to the Lizard Family and
Was Nearly Forty Feet Long
Goes to Natural History Mu-
scum in New York City.

Trenton - Firmly imbedded in q
stratum of red shale underneath the
trap rock formation of the Palisades,
the skeleton of huge autediluvian
reptile, possibly a dinosaur, is being
dug out of the rocks on the New Jer-
sey shore opposite West 155th street,
New York. The bones will be mount
ed and added to the collection of the
Museum of Natural History. Geolo-
gists and naturalists consider it one
OF the most interesting finds ever
made in the vicinity of New York city.
The discovery was made about
year ago by three graduate students
Of the geological department Of Col
umbia university. e. Hyde, D. D.
Condit and A. G. Boyle who noticed
what appeared to be an outline Of
bones in the shale formation. Real
izing that the find might be one of
Importance, they broke off only
small fragment, which they tested,
and found to contain phosphate, thus
proving the piece was bone.
Through Prof. J. r. Kemp, they
notified the museum, which sent Bar
mum Brown, assistant curator, to in
vestigate. He confirmed the belief
that the skeleton was that of pre-
historic reptile, and, although none of
the officials would be quoted until af-
ter further investigation, they per-
mitted it to be believed that it was
undoubtedly that of dinosaur.
Mr.. Brown, with an assistant and
two rock drillers, has now begun to
get out the skeleton. Great care is
necessary, as the rock has to be CHS
elled away piece by piece without In
juring the bones. No previous an
nouncement has been made of the
finding of the specimen, as it was
feared that pieces of it might be TAX
en- by unauthorized persons, thus i'm
pairing its value. The museum has
recently obtained permission from
owners Of the land to remove the skel-
eton, and as soon as this is done for
NAL announcement will be made.
The dinosaura were the diminant
animals in the triassic period of the
eartr's history, some ten millions or
more years ago. The shale or Newark
formation, in which the bones were
found, antedate the igneous rocks of
the Palisades by millions of years.

Outdoor School saves Her.

Montclair. Although she has snf-

diccio, 10 years old, is recovering
from the accident which almost cost
her life. The little girl was run down
by a train of the Lackawanna rail-
road and, as no person witnessed the
accident, the child lay in the snow
for long time with both feet
crushed. The hospital physicians say
that the child's experience as pupil
in the outdoor school may be respons-
ible for the recovery of the little girl.
At the school the children have be-
come accustomed to the cold and
their physical condition has improved
In the open air Had the Pendiccio
girls health been as poor when the
accident occurred as it was several
weeks ago, when she entered the
school, it is probable that she would
have succumbed to the exposure that
followed the accident.
