THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTE.
Work of Washington Institution
Highly Appreciated.

From the Rochester Times
It Is known in a general way that the
Carnegie Institute at Washington is do
ing a valuable work along scientific lines,
but few persons realize how extended
that work IS The tenth annual report OF
the institution discloses that 1,5O0 persons
have been engaged IN the researA work
of the institution; two astronomical OBJ
servatories, five laboratories. and a non
magnetic ship have been built. The total
OF its real property is sixty buildings, ten
vessels, AMI thirteen parcels Of land.
The research work Of the institution
has covered the widest range. II has
published nearly 10000 volumes for dis
tributiOn to Libraries and authors. and in
addition about 1.5O0 research papers by
its workers have appeared in current
journals. The institution has spent
s5.00o.0O0. its endowment having been in
creased by Mr.. Carnegie from $l0,OOO, 900
to ~, ,OO0OO0.
A number Of valuable discoveries have
been made by persons working under the
direction OF the Carnegie Institute. II
has also furnished the funds which have
made possible the publication of many
books on scientific matters. Often books
of great value could not be published II
publication depended simply on their
sales. since they appeal to only lin
tied number of readers Criticisms have
been made to the effect that Carnegie
might better have expended the money
in the direct aid OF distress and poverty.
But II must be remembered that an In
crease I'm scientific knowledge has ten
dency to do away with poverty and 10
better the general condition Of mankind
The money spent on the Carnegie lnsu-
tute. Is well spent.

How to Get
Rid Of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need OF this
suffering. You can get rid of IL by sim
pie, safe inexpensive, home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser, who. for over
thirty-six years, has been treating
catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. It is
not q spray, douche. salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thorough
treatment than any Of these. It cleans
out the head, nose, throat, and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge, so that you win not be
constantly blowing your nose and spit
ting, and at the same time it does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
as internal medicines do.
II you want TO test this treatment with
out cost, send your address to DR.. J. w.
Blosser. 261 Walton Street, Atlanta, Ca,
and he will send you by return mail
enough OF the medicine to satisfy you
that II is all he claims for It as a REM
edy for catarrh. catarrhal headaches, ca
tarrhal deafness, asthma, bronchitis,
colds. and all catarrhal complications

Mr.. Monden further said:
our first intimation was the crash
followed by the grinding bump as the
long glide toward the ledge began. One
Of the trucks had broken and torn the
steel rails for the length OF two cars.
The baggage car plunged over first, fol-
lowed by the first of the sleepers.
"one Of the front sleepers turned two
complete somersaults as il fell over the
ledge, landing at the bottom on its
wheels and looking, when we saw II, as
II Il were standing at some station sid
ing. Another car plunged over once, end
on end, and others turned as they reach
ed the descent and rolled down sideways.
TT was in the two front cars that most
Of the serious injuries occurred These
cars, with the diner, piled up at the
foot Of the descent.

Two OF the passengers killed were at
dinner in the first car. When the
the crash came they were hurled to
the far end OF the car. and second
later, when the other dining car
crushed the first one like an eggshell'
they were pinned under tons OF debris
Every occupant of the car was more
or less seriously injured. The colored
matron was in the compartment at
the end OF the first chair car as II went
over the bank. She was hurled Nio-
lently against the end of the car, and
when the second impact came she was
crushed to death.
At the point where the train lett

ing to a lock on the old Pennsylvania

the cars were hurled by their own mo-
mentum.
The cars were all Of solid. steel con-
