Music and Work.

Sir Lawrence CONNIE, London statis-
tician and archaeologist. regards music
as an end to work. He related that
at the beginning of his official career
he used to add up huge columns of
figures for statistical purposes by the
simple process of doing the task to a
Gregorian tune, and that he was al
ways correct in his totals. The Lon
don Chronicle says that there are
probably not many brain workers of
this order, but manual laborers have
long shared the opinion of Adam Bede

TRAIN BOUND IN SNOW
PASSENGERS SUFFERED HOURS
WITH COLD AND HUNGER.
Train Into Cleveland, Ohio, EncOunt-
ers Largest SnOwdrift Known
in Many Years.


PITTSBURG, Pa.-Conditions in
the storm region of western Pennsyl-
Vania, northern West Virginia and
eastern Ohio were rapidly improving
today. Telephone and telegraph
companies made progress during the
night in restoring communication
and railroads had dug out trains that
had been buried for hours in the
largest snow drifts this section has
seen for along period of years.
One train arrived from Cleveland
early today after having been on the
way a little more than thirty hours.
1t was stalled in a drift for twenty
eight hours not far from Cleveland
from cold and hunger. Train sched-
ules were restored to something near
normal and wires along the rail-
roads were again in communication.
The hope was held out that if the
elements did not interfere during the
day this entire section would be as
usual tonight.
Some anxiety was expressed TO-
fear that a sudden thaw would trans
form the vast amount of snow into
water and floods in the Ohio, Monon-
gahela and Allegheny river valleys
would follow. But the local weather
forecaster anticipated nothing but
continued low temperatures for the
newt +vyoptuefo1Ir hours
