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

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

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

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.
