ONE EXPRESS TRAIN STRIKES ANOTHER Dla seeaslkle fee Wreck Sear Phila delphia, f Vtbleh Ue lalla Are Larkiaa. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. -Seven per one were killed, several more will die and twenty-five or more were Injured In a rear, end collision of pe"nger trains on the New - Tork division of the Pennsylvania railroad at Eddington, Pa., nineteen miles north of thla city, shortly after I O'clock today. Following Its customary policy of silence, the Pennsylvania railroad officials declined abaolutely to furnish information regarding the cauae of the wreck or the number of killed or Injured. It is said by passengers, however, that the Long' Branch Express, bound for Philadelphia, had stopped to cool a hot journal. When the train crew were at work on the Journal the express train, whlcl. left New Tork at 7:10 a. m., thundered i round a curve and crashed into the Long Branch train. It la de clared that the express from New Tork disregarded signals and this caused the ac cident. Most of those killed and Injured were In a Pullman car on the rear of the Long Branch train. It was cut In two as with a kntfs and the Impact smashed the two coaches ahead of It. Because of lack of facllltiea It was some time before the work of rescue began. A train was quickly made up and moat of the injured were brought to this city, though some were sent to Bristol and Trt-nlon and others were cared for in neighboring farm houses. The dead were extricated from the mass of wreckage and stretched out alongside the track. Two hours later a northbound passenger train was stopped at the scene of the wreck and the bodies of seven dead were sent to a morgue at Bristol, Pa., seven miles from Eddington. General Manager Atterhury of the Penn sylvania railroad stated this afternoon th.it only two peraons were killed and twenty, nine Injured, some slightly. In the rear-end collision near Eddington, Pa., today. The dead are Mrs. W. II. Connell, wife of an employe of the railroad, and Mrs. Mat O'Maltey of Philadelphia. CURRENTS IN THE OCEAN Belief that R?n i Manges t'aaaed (trsssdlsg of Steaasera om the .Paciao. There are well-defined eurrenta In the ocean which are the reault of dlflerencei in temperature of the equatorial and polar regions, the rotation of the earth on its axis, the movement of the tides and the situation ' and direction of inequalities in the solid crust of the earth, whether above or below the surface of the sea. During the centuries In which the great oceans have been nsvlgated these currents have become known and their Influence upon a I ship's course can be closely estimated. In ! t!-e open sea they do not particularly In cse the difficulty of safe navigation, but I near coasts, and particularly In the vlcin I Ity of Islands, accurate knowledge of their direction and force are absolutely essen tial. That the direction of sea currents can be easily changed Is demonstrated wher ever a harbor is Improved by the works of man. that they are being eonatantly changed by alterations in the profile of the bottom of. the sea there can be little doubt. ... The recent loss In the Paoiflc of so many shlpa navigated by the most careful mas ters can hardly be accounted for except on the theory that the seismic activity which has been so powerfully manifested around the shores of that ocean have resulted In such changes in the profile of its bed as to make existing charts unreliable In the vi cinity of land, and especially about groups of lalnnda where tidal currents are always strong. A dispatch from Toklo Indicates the probability that a great earthquake, with Ita center somewhere In mldocean, has recently occurred, which caused changes of elevation, which may account for the recent disasters. It Is evident thst the matter should receive the Immediate attention of the maritime nations. In for mer dsya the t'nlted States navy did noble service In marine surveys. Captain Maury, In particular, achieved a world-wide repu tation for his surveys and soundings car ried on In t'nlted States shlpa. The world now seems reasonably peaceful. It cer tainly will not require all our navy - to keep Cuba In subjection, and It may be quite worth our while to send Some of our smaller ships, which must cruise some where, to maintain our reputation for ren dering useful service to mankind by new surveys and soundings In the Pacific Ban Francisco Chronicle. PROFITS IN POST CARDS O.T.rssiest Rrtsst from PreTBllla Kd Greater Tbaai Frosa Letters. An official of the railway mall servina Mys thst reg-ular letters averaged about forty-five or fifty to the pound, while the post cards averaged about 160 to the pound. Hence the postage on a pound of the former would be 90 cents or 11, and that on a pound of the souvenir cards, planing It at 1 cent apiece (with no writ ing on the face sides), would be $l0. As the average cost of carrying one pound of mail of any kind. Including that of all postal operations the entire expense of collecting, handling, delivery, etc. was IT or, J I cents, it was easy to sea how great a profit there was to the government In the extensive use of private post cards. There was no doubt, he remarked, that their use In Europe had been fostered by the postal authorities for this reason. As an instance of their vogue here, he said that at a very small and isolated village on Ing Island, where his family had passed the summer, there were post cards on sale with a number of local views, which were bought by visitors by the tialf-dnsen at a time. Postmasters at small summer resorts, where there were fewer visitors this year than usual, had told him that the stamp cancellations were heavier, because of tha souvenir cards. An officer of a news company In New Tork City, which does a great business In these cards, said that ths pioneers in it wers th. Japanese, who began to make them twenty or twenty-five years ago. Japan still produces very large quantities, both for, home circulation and for export, but Oertnany, which began their manu facture about ten "years ago. is now tha leaAlng producer. For landscapes and buildings, tli. German cards are the best, but the Japunese excel In fancy designs ef figures and flowera, and Japan contin ues to make liner and more expensive cards than any ether country in the world, including numbers which are hand painted. Comparatively few of the Japanese cards are exported to the t'nlted Mutes, the demand for them here being limited. The news company official said that his company alone bas sent to Germany for color printing from 4.000 to 1.000 photo graphs ef views In this country.

New Vork Post. - SPORT OF HUNTING FROGS Rets, Spears, Hook aad Rifle I sed la the Chase la Peansyl , vaeln. Frog hunting and frog eating la cri tatnly extensive enough to have raued consternation among many frog hunters and Joy among frog eaters generally when two years ago the Pennsylvania legisla ture pased an act protecting the amphi bian. It is true that when the bill w:is Introduced the members of the legislature treated It ss a huge joke and laughed heartily during Its passage through the two chambers, but they voted fnr it solidly, and the governor signed it. So the frogs croak in comparative safety during the balmy days of April, during their love making and during their first family raising. Not that they are de voted and tender guardians of their pro geny, the greatest solicitude of each seems to be lest his neighbor eat more of his own polliwogs than he does htm self, but it sounds better to attribute to him virtues which he doesn't possess than to picture htm as he really is. a cannibal of unblushing and winking effrontery. , On July 1 boys and men begin the quest of frogs with nearly tha same enthusiasm thst tha angler does for trout on the opening day of the season. Only 1n some respects the enthusiasm of the frog hunter Is usually unlike that of ths trout fisher, founded not on one but on two senti ments, the craving of both sport and coin. The frog hunter In Pennsylvania has an advantags over tha trout fisher. He can, at the close of his outing, sell the results of his sport, while under tha law the trout fisher must either eat his catch or give It away to hla friends, neither of which is entirely satisfactory when he Is hard' up or tempted by the sliver of a man with a mouth for trout but with no ability to catch them. There are no legally prohibited devices for the capture of frogs. Anything is etiquette which will accomplish Its ob ject. Bare hands, a stone, a club, a book and line, a gun, a gig or spear or a trap all these or anything else short of dyna mite is permissible and any or all of then are likely to be used aa occasion arises. The favorite, device of the caterer for the market is a spear made like a fish lg, only smaller, and the best time Is night. Daylight quests may yield good results, but usually not as good aa at night. Be sides, there Is then more attractiveness about the sport. The stillness of the darkness, the heaviness of the night Shadows, the gloom of (he waters, the flare of the gig lights appeal to the aver age healthy man or boy who goes hunting for frogs much more strongly than the sunlight, the hum of human and animal life or vistas of scenery. When frogs are plentiful and the hunter skilled the. latter may by the use of a iftg or spear be able from the falling of dark ness to midnight to capture enough "bullies" to bring him in a "daddy" dollar, perhaps another to keep It company. A throw or cast net and a scoop net with a long handle are also pet methods with many and both are very effective at times. Only the man who uses the fir it named In Pennsylvsnla must of necessity be wary of wuen or how he uses It or who Is around at tha time. There la no lew against catching bullfrogs with a cast or throw net; but the fishery autho rities have a strong and unyielding anti pathy to the device and should a warden happen along the user might and probably would be drives to bis wits' and and ex i Surplus easy payments and ship pianos haust all his resources to explain and prove that he was only catching frogs with it. There is as much fun In catching frogs with h scoop net as there Is in catching crabs with the same device and It requires quite as much expertness and agility, if indeed it does not require more. It is nut as easy as It looks, for generally there are grasses, lily pads and logs to bring the user to confusion. But there are men who will employ no other method, and who be come so expert that their bsg will aversg as heavy as that of tho man who sticks to the gig or spear. Obviously a scoop net Is only at its best during the day time, and obviously, wherever possible, it Is more de sirable than the gig or spear, because the frog is not mutilated, and is therefore easier to skin. Just as some people will only use a scoop net, so there are others who will employ only a Flnbert rifle. A msrksman will often secure a goodly number; but of all the methods it is the most expensive on amount of the cost of the cartridgea. 14 is not so much the market men who use the Flobert as the person who desires a mess of frogs for his own consumption, and to exhibit his skill as a marksman. Young men and boys are oftenest seen) with the rifle, and It must be said that it is this class who seem to get the most enjoyment out of their occupation, especially when there is some one looking on and the mark is hit. There are three speclea of frogs more or less numerous in Pennsylvania. These are the leopard, the green and the common bullfrog. The last named is preferred by the market hunters because of lta great sise. It Is the "bloody bull" of boyhood days, the frog which utters such a loud, booming sound. The common frog is not only huge in length and girth, but he has great sturdy lega on which there Is much meat. The green frog is preferred by those who kill for their own eating and by the real epi cures In frog flesh. The greed frog la much smaller than the commun, its legs are much slimmer and with less flesh, but is much more delicate and delicious. The green frog Is the diamond back turtle among frogs. It is the tidbit of the spe cies, the sweetbreads, so to speak. Forest and Stream. ABOUT SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE Tree Little stories f Toga. Feaalc aad D.aaberg W.rlh , Repeatleg. When his photograph was first displayed In the shop windows of Tokin, Admiral Togo was ruich troubled. One morning ha walked Into the office of Marukl, the court phoygrapher, who had taken the admiral' picture. "I am shocked to find," He said, "that people are buying my photograph. It is very wrong that they should spend money on the portrait of such a stupid person. I wish to have the negative, so that you may print no more copies." Marukl was making a fine harvest from the picture and had no desire to part with It. "Your excellency will have to pay for the negative," ha explained. "I know," the admiral replied, sadly; "what do you ask for It?" Marukl considered a moment and then named what he thought would be a prohibitive price ao yen (110). Togo sighed. "That la a great sum for a poor man like m to pay but I must have the negative." So he counted out the money and carried off the picture.
