The wrecking train was sent for, but while waiting for the wrecker the en- zine of the wrecked car managed to push it and it's trucks aside, and at 7.35 the main track was reported clear The roadbed had not been injured, having shown that 1t was in shape to stand the strain.
 At S.05 p. m. the p. m. northbound passenger train went through, and at S.15 the southbound passenger train due out of Yantic at 6.41 went south.
 What was the astonishment of those saw that southbound train pass to mo- tice that all the passengers. men and women together, were huddled into a single combination smoker and bag gage car.
 The wrecker then went over the track after the southbound train, but it was decided not to do anything further toward clearing the yreckage away.

TO SET CLOCKS BY WIRELESS
Plan Adopted by the German Post
 office Department

From the Berlin Correspondence of the
 New York Times.
 The regulation of all the public clocks by wireless energy is the progressive and ambitious plan just adopted by the secrc- tary of the imperial post office depart ment.
 According to the project of the inven- tor, an electrician named FerdiRnd Schneider which has received the support of the military and naval authorities, a central station will be erected near Fulda, centrally situated for the whole empire. It will have a tower 325 feet high, from the top of which the electric waves will be discharged at one minute intervals, affecting the hands of all the clocks in the system. Three clocks will be employ in the central station, switching in inter- changeably to guarantee absolute &C., curacy.
 It is planned to have only one receiving clock in each town. other timepieces in The same place being connected with 1t on the ordinary electric circuit now in use.
 Preparatory steps have already beer taken toward erecting the central estab. lishment at Fulda. The inventor guaran- tees that the system will work with abso- lute accuracy and that the waves cannot be interfered with by those of other wire less stations. The service, it is thought. owing to the great number of clocks which can be controlled from the one sta ton, ~ill be comparatively inexpensive and the obvious advantage of absolutely uniform time throughout the country has also it is understood, appealed to the post office authorities.

 The instrument used by those ancient nekeepers for measuring time was the tile, or gnomon, a slender, vertical shaft, or pillar, which casts a shadow as the earth rotates on it's axis, or revolves around the sun. The priests were the as- ltroromers, or, rather, astrologers. in those learly days, and used the fiat roofs of their temples as observatories; and it need hardly be remarked that they were as watchful of the lengths and direction of those shadows as the mariner sailing his ship over unknown seas by means of the pole star. By this simple contrivance the Chinese and Egyptians derived their knowledge of the solsticial and equinoctial points of the ecliptic, the obliquity of the ecliptic, and also found the length of the solar year to be 365h days, nearly 20 cen turies before Julius Caesar framed his

1 only to large craft passing much
 ST aller one at speed. Theoretically ] can believe in suction; practically l dc not; and the solitary evidence of the Hawke with the uncertain tank expert | ments are not enough to settle the matter"
 We have no doubt that our own yachts men have had abundant experience con firming the above. But, of course, as the writer In the Times points out, it is not conelusively of the Olympic Hawke case, where a narrow channel was occupied by two huge ships and the conditions were somewhat assimilated to those of canal. The truth Is that proper tank experiments must be made before the suction theory can be either proved or disproved. The bottom of the Solent should be reproduced and the maneuvres of the ships closely followed. By such ex- periments the "suetion theory can be either confirmed or demolished.
 In the meantime the critics of the wke-Olymplc decision will continue to make game of the suction myth" We find much to sympthize with in the fol. lowing pleasant passage from @ corre- spondent writing to the Times as "Vor tex" in reply to a letter from 'Nau- titus" defending the suction theory:
 "As Nautilus puts again to me what he calls the pertinent question. If it was not suction, what was 1tY l VIII reply with the more pertinent question. If it was not a sea serpent that elbow the Hawke out of her course, at the same time tanning her rudder with his tall, what was 1t? This question is moro per- tinent because the worst that can be said against the sea serpent is that his existence has not been proved to the satisfaction of everybody: but the non existence of suction, a force by which one ship can drag another from her course 300 yards away, is proved by physical laws of which Nautilus appar- ently has never heard. It Is also proved by the fact that if such a force existed 1t would long ago have been notorious to every one connected with ships, and would have been provided against in the shipping regulations. Whereas 1t was never heard of either in the navy or the mercantile until 1t was invented to shield the Hawke; and in particular has been daringiy and continually dehed by his majestys ships in the Solent itself. Some book of no particular authority has been dug up, in which some theory of suction is set forth, probably with limitations conveniently dropped by the suctioners. We'll I could dig up more evidence than that for the sea serpent or for the latness of the earth'
 We trust that the controversy between the sea serpent theory and the suction theory will be fairly investigated and de- termined.
