H OLDEST SCHOOL.

THE Boston Latin school is the old
/ est educational institution in the
United States, having enjoyed IL con-
tinuous existence since April, 1885.
From the start, it was a school for
higher education, especially Latin and
Greek. 1t appears to have been the
determination Of the founders ITO
beat Satan in each and all Of his
lairs :" therefore, "FOr the omlmOn de-
Tense and for the general welfare
should the classical languages be
taught Mt the common charge"
One day during the early days of
the revolution, the master Gas the
teachers were called in those days.,
a loyalist, announced, as he dismissed
school, WARS begun and schools
done; dcponite libros," but the school
was soon r%e-Opened, and when the
British evacuated Boston in March.
1776, the master went with them as
d prisoner. Ills said that in his day.
all that was required for admission
was to read n few verses in the Bible.
School began ut even O'clock In the
morning in summer (eight o'clock in
winter) and ended at five in the after
noon, with Il recess from eleven to One.
The present building, completed in
1880, was, at that time, 1.-THE largest
structure in America devoted to ed
ucational purposes. and the largest in
the world used as q free public school,"
It contains Sc school rooms, each ac-
commodating 35 students.
1t is doubtful, indeed, If any other
school boasts of a more honorable ca
reer, can show as long a list of promi-
nent men as graduates or more per-
sistently conformed to the aspirations
of its originators.

When Life Grows Broader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count it. Our sense of proportion
Is largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is quiet and sheltered, and
the stream ms smoothly, we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief. calamity. or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything. Our old interests
are dwarfed and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trihes to burden souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards of measurement
for our fellow men as we'll as our
selves.

cost will exceed $1O.O0O,O0O, and al
though it has been under construction
for more than twcnty-six years, no
one can now say when it will be CON-
pleted.
The architecture Is Of the French
gothic style. The plans for the great
organ call for 1000 pipes and 81 chime.
The crypt will seat 500 md the altar
is to contain 10000 pieces of mosaic

THE MOST POWERFUL LOCO.
MOTIVES.

AT the time Of their completion, the
"A locomotives used for hauling the
long, heavy coal and other trains over
the steep railroad grades in the noun
tains of Virginia were the most pow
erful in the world.
The enormous size. weight and pow
er of these leviathans of the rail are
positively astounding. Each engine
(nnd tender) weighs almost 100000
pounds, is considerably more than 100
feet in length, has 20 driving wheels,
IL fired by machinery, exerts IL
straightaway pull Of 10000 pounds
and, tits said, will haul any load that
the coupling pin will hold.
The boilers Of these giants on wheels
are about 9h feet in diameter. Each
boiler contains 391 two and a quarter
inch tubes, which, placed end to end,
would reach almost two miles; also
seventy 5h-inch lues, having a total
length Of more than n quarter Of a
mile. The fire boxes are Is feet long
and Q feet wide.
The shipment Of these large locomo-
tives from the point Of construction
to the point Of service presented an
unusually peculiar and difficult prob
lem requiring great care and attention.
for the reason that the tracks and
bridges Of the various railroads over
which they had to move were not, in
oil cases, built to withstand such ire
mendous weights. They were shipped
In Il partially knocked-down condition
and approximately two weeks were re-
quired to move them from Schenectady,
n. V, to Princeton, W.. Va. Three
cars were necessary to carry the loose
and detached parts belonging to each
locomotive.

BIGGEST CRASH
 IN 6 DAY RACE
 INJURIES RIOERS

New York, Dec. 3-The biggest and most damaging spill of the twenty seventh annual six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden occurred last night at 9:05 o'clock. a short time prior to the start of the evening sprint for points. when four riders of the fourteen remaining teams in the grind went toppling over each other in Q bone-scraping crash on the Twenty-seVenth street side of the Gar den. None of the riders sustained serious injury, by some miracle, but all four were so shaken that they had to remain off the track temporarily to recover.
 The crash came on the closing lap of premature sprint, started when an enthusiast in one of the boxes of fered $50 for a series of five spurts at mile each. The first one was near it's finish when Willie Keller of Harrison, N. J., who is teamed with Fred Weber of Newark, went crash ing to the board floor while rounding the famous death curve on the Fourth avenue end of the Garden in to the Twenty seventh street stretch.
 Keller fell clear of the rest of the neIQ, WnlCn was Tn the midst Ot a mad sprint for the money. As the finish line was reached, however, Freddie Hill of the Boston team and Tom Bello of the Italian-American com mbination touched wheels and were sent sprawling. The two riders were about in the middle of the speeding pack when the accident occurred, so that some of those following them were caught.
 Oscar Egg, the Swiss rider, follow ed Hill and BeIo in the crash, fall ing over the prostrate forms of the first named. Then Spiessens of the Belgian -Bearcat combination, riding at terrific speed, crashed into the three fallen riders. His momentum caGsed Spiessens to be catapulted out of the saddle, and he described a complete somersauIt in the air, flying over the handlebars of his bicycle, before landing with a thud astride the others who had gone down.
 The Belgian rider was the most painfully hurt, and his partner, Mar eel Buysse, was immediately sum mOned to the track, as were the partners of the others concerned in the accident By the time the eSfrst sprint of the evening for points start ed, however, the full complement of riders were on the track, although some of them were painfully bruised.
