Seyenty-ive passengers who had
been transferred from two other
traiRs stalled In the snow, were in the

plow were equipped with two engines
each, and OF the four engine crews
only n man escaped alive, and he
was injured.
The passenger train, known as the

gers were transferred. Later a mail
train from the coast arrived and its
passengers walked more than a mile

20 Minneapolis with passengers OF the
ether two trains and its ow when the
wreck occurred.
The TIVE engines on the train
buckied together and fell 20 feet over
Hae embankment, carrying their crews
with them. The engineers, r. A. Nc
Donald and Hugh ]. Johnson, were
buried under the mass OF twisted
steel, and are believed to have been
killed instantly.
The engines of the snowplow were
als0 hurled into the ditch. The first
rolled 20 feet from the rails, and was
turned completely around. The other
turned over and landed 60 feet from
the track, with its wheels in the air.
Victims Pinned Under Wreck.

with its engines in the ditch and bag
gage and mail cars derailed and over.

snow to their waists. 1t was known
that the engine crews had been pinned
under the cabs. but the passengers
were helpless without equipment TO
lift the heavy steel.

LEACOcK HAD OTHER. PLANS
Distinct Reason Why In Death ne
Could Not Lie Beside Lord
Strathcona.

ing anecdote: A short time ago Ste
phen Leacock was the guest Of lit
erary club to which I belong, and
when I was called on to speak ex-
planned how that morning had been
walking in Highgate cemetery and
paused by the tomb Of Lord Strath-
coma. One of the cemetery custodians
Joined me, and said regretfully, Lord
Stratheona's the only distinguished
Canadian we have here" Then he
frightened up little. "But there's
vacant lot beside his lordship."
Whereupon l explained to him curl
ously enough that was going to meet
another distinguished Canadian that
evening, and would try to induce him
to make the necessary arrangements
for occupying the vacant space by
Lord Strathcona. Leacock listened to
this with strained attention. On rising
to reply, he disregarded the points
made by the other speakers, and said:
whilst l am deeply grateful to Mr..
Burgin for his thoughtful arrange
ments regarding my obsequies, l re-
greet to inform him that they will have
to be cancelled, as l have already de-
cided to be buried In Westminster alb
bey."

BASS ALWAYS A WANDERER
Fish Has No Special Abode, but Seeks
Places Where Food Is tho
Most Plentiful.

The bass, both large and small
mouthed, is a roamer. He Is always
looking for the place where the most
food Is, and is fond Of variety. You
can fish for him night or day, as he is
a 24-hour feeder, but early morning
and late afternoon are the surest times
to get him right.
He is an active rogue, and cOntinu-
ally rising from the bottom to the
surface, at times jumping above the
water in pursuit Of food. He changes
his home and feeding ground as the
season passes. In the spring he is
found in shallow water In streams and
rivers, below rapids and rifles, and as
the water warns up he moves to deep
pools sheltered by logs, weeds or
lodges. During the summer, he mi
CRATES to greater depths, where the
water Is cool.
The same is true Of the lake bass.
In the spring he frequents the shall
low places, but later he goes into the

bass favors stony bars or shoals vary.

FIGHT MINE FIRES WITH MUD
Experience Has Shown That Is as
Practical a Method as Any
Known.

Fighting fires In mines Is slow.
tedious job and since the dawning of
mining has been considered almost a
hopeless undertaking. Rich mines in
many parts of the world have been
burning for generations. Underground
fires no longer are considered un-
quenchable. In the Butte district
process of fire fighting has been de-
veloped by mining company which is
salvaging an ore body Of tremendous
extent. Fires that have been burning
for 15 years in three connecting mines
are being smothered under 100000
tons of mud.
At the end of 1922 100000 tons of
metalliferous ore, containing, accord
ing expert estimates, at least 3d.
600 tons Of copper, once more will be
accessible.
Sand, decomposed rock and other
materials which came originally from
the slopes and were discarded as tall
ings in the process of copper extrac-
ton, simply have been turned back
into the fire area. Water, which In
many cases has proved its uselessness
as an extinguisher of underground
fires, Is used for transportation. 1t

regions. 1900 to 2.200 feet under

NEW USE FOR SCOTCH LAKES
Long Famed In Song, Il Is Now serI-
ously Proposed to Develop Their
Water Power.

Scotland Is waking up to the fact
that its lakes and waterfalls may be
made to serve other purposes than
providing scenic attractions for tour
lists. AS proof Of this the "Grampian
Electricity bill" has been given Sec
ond reading in the house of commons.
In this company is empowered to
collect and use the waters of Is lochs
and 80 small lakes, rivers, and streams
over an area Of AT square miles.
The waters proposed to be utilized
are estimated to be capable of gen.
Grating $4,000 horse power to supply
electricity in the counties Of Perth,
Kinross, and -Forfar, and districts in
four other counties. The capital is
placed at f4,5OO,OOO ($22, 5OO,OOO).
That any Of the beautiful lakes and
falls Of Caledonia stern and wild"
should be used to set the wheels of
industry spinning, many in Scotland
regard almost as sacrilegious desecra-
ton. And that opinion Is shared by
not few Americans who are accus-
toned to visit Scotland annually.
But the promoters declare that the
preservation Of the natural beauties
of Scotland is expressly provided for
by the terms of the bill. And they add
that when the hum of the electrically
driven wheels Is heard in the land
and dividends begin to come in, the
cry of "desecration' will be heard no
,more.-New York Post.

COLD DRINKS ON HOT DAYS
Belief That They Were Highly Dan
gerous Is Not as Generally
Held as Formerly.

Medical men have their folklore, as
have the people at large. Mistaken
ideas, sanctioned by time, die hard,
even among so-called men Of science
In the differentiation Of diseases and
the sorting of causes and effects it Is
little wonder that there should have
arisen confusion Of ideas that to a
degree still persist.
There Is general belief that 1t Is
highly dangerous to drink cold water
in warm weather when we are very
warm, and in a much recommended
book on dietetics of the present CEN
fury the warning against this prac-
tice is down in black and white.
If we trace this teaching to its
origin, we find that the fatalities that
occurred from this practice always
happened when the temperature Of
the air was IS degrees or upward. The
symptoms described are those of sun.
stroke or heat exhaustion, and the
clinicians of the day had confused, or
rather not yet differentiated, the ef-
fects of heat suppression and the very
different experience of giving the in
terror of the stomach cold bath.
So strong was the belief that the
taking of cold drink, and not the
inability to get rid of heat, was the
cause of those pathological catastro-
Plies of hot weather that in one of our
largest cities a century since the hui
name society placed printed posters
On the public pumps, warning the hot
and thirsty to pause before imbibing
and hold the cup in the hands until
some of the dangerous cold was ex-
tracted from the water. Very differ
ent from what humane society might
be doing in this day.-New York Medi-
cal Journal.

Moth-Proof Wool.

A moth-repellant has been intro
duced In the German market, which, II
Is claimed, will positively make tho
wool fabric absolutely moth-proof. All
additional advantage of this product,
known as Eulan F, Is that it does net
discolor the fabric, so that the wool
can be dyed In bright shades without
any difficulty. The product Is white
powder which does not dissolve very
easily In water. Acid must be added
to make 1t dissolve. In this condition
1t Is used in the textile mill, and 1t is
preferable to put the wooden fabric
through the moth-prooflng treatment
in the factory. Another form Of the
product Is sold for use in the house
hold. In this form the powder will
dissolve very easily in water. The
wooden fabric Is then soaked In the
solution and permitted to dry. Only a
l per cent solution is required. Eulan
is now, on the market in Germany
