Sterl Melt ffom Within.
Krom Pit tabu rs comes the news ol
a discovery uttributed to O. P. Black
Iston in regard to the way In which
uteri melts. Contrary to the general
belief, and to the known laws of phy
sics, llliicklston has shown that steel
melts from the Inside tlrst. He has
bad photographs made showing the
shells produced by the melting of 8,
000 bars of crucible steel, one flat and
the other octagonal. These showed
that both bars are hollow, while the
outside surface remained In Ha origi
nal shape. It was discovered acciden
tally while the man was experiment
ing with a new type ot oil furnace.
Hluiktston thinks the melting of the
Interior tlrst is due to the oxidi
zation of the surface to protect It from
the heat. Others see an analogy be
tween the molten Interior of the Iron
and the molten Interior of the earth,
dun to causes as yet undetermined.

The government's brief In its suit to
break up the alleged anthracite coal
trust vvks filed In the United States
Circuit Court In Philadelphia the oth
er, day by William S. Gregg, special
assistant to the Attorney General. The
suit was brought In April, 1907, and
the government's case was prepared hy
J. Carroll Todd and J. C. McReynolds.
The three years that have Intervened
were taken up with the examination of
witnesses for both sides. It is con
tended by the government that all the
defendants have long been parties to
a general combination and conspiracy
which stifles competition and obstructs
trade and commerce In anthracite coal
and that they have monopolized the
trade. The government asks the court
to enjoin this alleged monopoly and
to enjoin the defendants from carry
ing out the contract with the so-called
independent companies by which the
latter turn over their product to the
larger companies for 65 per cent of the
tidewater selling price.

TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT,
Canadian Pacific Train Plunges Into
River and 48 Are Drowned.
Forty-eight persons are dead and
ninety-two are Injured aa a result of
a wreck on the Canadian Pacific Rail
road near Webbwood, Ontario, on the
Sudbury branch of the road. Two
coaches, a diner and a first-class day
coach plunged from a bridge across
the Spanish river. Not a person In
the two cars escaped. All were caught
like rats In a trap. They were drown
ed In the Icy waters of the river.
A few hours after the disaster the
coaches lay In the river with only
their tops showing above the Ice. The
bodies of the victims of the disaster
were still in the cars.
The plunging of the diner and the
day coach Into the river threw the
other coaches of the passenger train
from the track. Some of these roll
ed down a steep embankment. The
cars caught fire. A number perished
in the flames. This added to the hor
ror of the disaster. The wreck is tha
worst in the history of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad.
The wrecked train was No. 7, west
bound from Montreal to Minneapolis.
Spreading of the rails as the passen
ger train crossed the bridge Is sup
posed to have been the cause of the
catastrophe. The scene of the disas
ter is in a desolate, sparsely settled
country. Telegraph facilities are lim
ited. Details are hard to obtain.

The Russian foreign oHtee has re

thereby In the hands of the powers re

which would see that the lines were
conducted on a purely business baBls

purposes. The reported merRt-r of the Waters
