Burlington Express Wrecked i t Butte, Mentone. CAPTAIN AND NINI MIN SAVED MAIL CAI IS BlDLY SHATTERED Engineer Killed and Fireman Terribly beeidet.— VobaDly Vengeful Work o f Hoboes. Butte, Mont., May 2.— Eastbound Burlington train No. fl, due in Butte at 11:30 o'clock tonight, was dyna mited about a m ile west o f the Northern Pacific station at 11:37 o'clock. The explosion caused the first or helper engine to leave the rails, but It plowed along for a few hundred feet without turning over. The eecond engine crashed Into the bank south o f the track a few car- lengths from where the explosion occurred. Every person o n 't h e train has been accounted for excepting Engi neer Bussey, o f the second engine, who Is supposed to be burled under his locomotive. Carl Mange who was riding on the blind baggage, had to be taken from the mass of timbers under which he was burled. His arm and leg were broken. Fireman George Hhle, o f the eecond engine, was badly scalded. Both were hurried to the hospital In the police patrol, which wae at the scene of the wreck, as quickly as possible after the men were re ceived In the city. Locom otive No. 2100, In charge o f Engineer Bussy and Fireman Ehle, is lying on Its side south of the track. The mall ear, which was right be hind It, was hurled on Its side and badly wrecked. A cold storage fish car was next to the mall car, and It was smashed Into kindling wood Follow ing the fish car was the ex press car. Only the front trucks of the express car left the rails. The baggage car also remained on the track. The general theory o f the explo sion Is that the dynamite was placed directly on the rails, but It Is Impos sible to say whether a tim e fuse or some sort of percussion cap was at tached to the explosive. Those who saw the flash agree R came from the south side of the track. The dynamiting Is believed by the officers to be the work ot some hobo seeking revenge for being ejected from a train. Express Messenger J. B. Valentine was seriously bruised, being badly cut by a flyin g grenade. His escape from death In his car Is considered miraculous. The force o f the explosion wss terrific. According to the crew of the first engine the engine was lifted bodily off the track. f H jr r Ite h A U TR U LY T O B J C ID A B L X W h i c h l a t e r e li e s B a 4 e w e 4 w i t h E le c t r ic B a t t e r ie s . When it comes to a consideration ot those who are well-heeled to protect themselves against enemies, do not for get the electrical fishes that run In the ■ea. Nature hoe endowed these deni zens o t the deep with batteries which come In right handily In overcoming foes or those o f their finny neighbors upon which they prey. Probably tbs most dangerous Is the torpedo, a fish of the same family and appearance as the rays The torpedo is a dlsk-llke creature, frequently at taining a length o f five feet and a weight of 200 pounds. They abound on the Atlantic coast and sometimes fish ermen who make them captive In their nets are very sorry for I t Recklessly handled, the torpedoes quickly wreak vengeance on their captors. The shock they give Is tremendons and strong men who have fallen tbelr victims have often been knocked down and paralyzed for a considerable time. In the fresh water, particularly the marshes end sluggish streams, o f Brazil and Guiana, there la to be found the electric eel. This fellow is very like the common eel which Is found In our own American waters as to general looks The difference— the presence within It of the natural electric battery — Is ■ tremendous one. though. This, says Dr. R. W. Shutfeldt In the Scien tific American, consists at two pairs of peculiarly constituted bodies, passing between the skin and the muscles, longitudinally, In the region of the tall — one pair being next to the beck, and the other along the anal fin. Upward of 280 cells make up the structure of one o f these organa, and they all re ceive a very generous nerve supply. Now, when one comes to know that an eel of this species may attain ■ length o f fully six feet and posses«# the power of voluntarily giving a shock with Its battery at any Instant, then It will at once be appreciated what a truly formidable creature this flab really I a Moreover, it having a smooth. Unless hack, the body for Its entire length be ing of a dull brownish color shove. It becomes quite difficult to eee It In the water where It lies, especially i f the latter be stirred up snd made muddy. It Is then that this moat powerful of all electrical fishes becomes the most dan gerous both to man and beast. Violent shocks and discharges can be given by It, at will, both as a means of offense as well as defense, and these often re peated until Its enemy or prey Is dis abled or stunned; or, what has often happened, sinks Into the water to be drowned. Examination of one of these electri cal organs baa shown that In action It la very much like a galvanic battery, with the anterior extremity positive, the poe.erlor negative, and the current only discharged at the point of contact with an object. This has been proved to be ao powerful when complete that chemical compounds are decomposed by It, and steel needles magnetized. SH IE LD E D BIQ SIN N E R S. Attorney Jerom e Charged With Fa voring High Financiers. New York, May 2.— Before Com missioner Hand, who Is hearing evi dence on charges against District A t torney Jerome, Franklin Pierce, counsel for the complainants, today called for the evidence taken by a grand Jury In the W a ll and Cortland street ferries cases, In which Thog. F. Ryan and H. H. Vreeland testi fied. “ W e contend,” said Mr. Pierce, "th at Mr. Jerome could have gone before the grand jury with the evi dence that he had and secured in dictments. Instead he called Mr. Ryan before the grand jury and fo r ever barred the road to prosecution.’’ Mr. Jerome agreed to submit the evidence privately to the Commis sioner, with the understanding that Mr. Pierce shall not be allowed to read It. Mr. Pierce asked for an adJo*rn- ment until Monday, when he prom ised to take up Mr. Jerome’s Investi gation o f the American Ice Company. He said Mr. Jerome Investigated the company for half a day and then turned the Investigation against three or four small Independent Ice companies that the American Ice Co. wanted to smash, and that he ad vised that Indictments be returned against them. Seek Aid From Japan. Pekin. May 2.— Japan Is facing a serious situation as a result o f the boycott arising from the Tatsu Maru Incident, and is seeking the support of Great Britain to put a stop to the boycott by Joint representations. The Japanese authorities here attribute the growth of the movement to the native press, which Is without con trol and which has been conducting a campaign to make generally known the Chinese side o f the Incident. They hold the Viceroy o f Canton chiefly responsible. Expect Great Western Business. Omaha, Neb., May 2.— One hun dred and forty-eight big locomotives are being hurried to the Harriman lines as fast as the Brooks Locomo tive W orks of Dunkirk, N. Y.. can turn them out. W. J. Smith, Install ing engineer for this concern. Is in Omaha today consulting with W. B. McKeen, Jr., superintendent o f mo tive power and machinery o f the Union Pacific. Mr Smith declares the railroads are looking for an Im mense business this year, and are demanding the locomotives be d eliv ered as rapidly as possible. Evens' Weight Increasing.

Peres aaldos, the “ Spanish Dickens,” and one of the most popular Spanish writers, sells In South America half a dozen copies of every book to every one he ■ells In 8paln.

Whatever may be thought of the lasting qualities of this work.

We rarely realize how he Ip leas mat» has rendered the plants he cultivate* by the centuries of protection from their weed enemies that be has give* them, aaya the American Botanist An experiment that well illustrates this point wae made on one of the govern ment farms some time ago. A field about one acre In extent upon which wheat bad been grown for forty year* In succession, was not harvested, but allowed to stand and shed Its seeds as it would. The next year a fair crop of wheat come np, bat the weeds were gaining the ascendency, and by the fourth sea- eon ell the wheat bad disappeared from the field and the weeds held full sway. I f man should suddenly disappear from the earth It le certain that his cnltl- vated crops would soon follow him. And yet these very plants held their own against their competitors before man took them under bis cere. The reason they can no longer persist In the fees of competition Is not Slone because they have grown weaker, but lu a measure because the weeds have grown stronger. In protecting bis croisi man has constantly killed out the weak and least persistent weeds, and only thosw were left to perpetuate tbelr kind that were able to elude man. One species, the self-heal (prnnella vulgaris), which ordinarily grows a foot or more high, baa produced a variety so low that It is able to thrive on a closely mowed lawn. Darwin never considered the lawn mower as one of the factors of evolution, but undoubtedly tble Yankee Invention has played Its part in the great struggle.
