A CAR CUT IN TWO. Results in the Killing of Six Passengers. Three Are Fatally Injured and Thirty VIore Are Hurt, The horror of the great Quincy accident was recalled Saturday night, when a through freight express train, west-bound on the Fitchburg railroad, ran into a passenger train standing on the out bound track at West Cambridge Junction, telescoping the rear car,

killing six persons outright and injuring thirty others, three of whom have fluoo died. Passenger train No. 1.11. due to leave Boston at 10:15 p. in., started on time When West Cambridge Junction was reached the engineer found it necessary, owing to the dense fog, to run close to the cross-overs in order to see if he had the right of way from tower,which is located close by. The passenger train was said to be five minutes late and about 1 the same hour the local passenger fain from Waltham, scheduled to leave taere at 10:30 o’clock, was due at West Cambridge Junction also. The west honed train which left Boston had come to a full stop in order that the east-bound tram from Waltham, which had the right of way, could pass that point before it crossed over to the Walortown branch. While standing near the cross-ovor the express freight (train, which wa ; bound west, came thundering along, auc just as the passenger train started to ci ss flte Watertown branch the freight train crashed into the rear of the passeag* train with the result above described. The passenger train, engine and the forward truck of the smoking car. No. 73, had crossed over on the hr,inch track, which loft passenger cars 39 »nd 150 on the cross-over, and 38, the fatal car, standing on tiie main west-bonud track. Engine 200, to which the freight _train was attached, was a powerful eight-drive-wheeler of the mogul pattern. When the engine struck the rear car it entered like a wedge, splitting it into two parts, each of which foil outward upon the tracks, while the roof of the car lodged on top of the locomotive. The recoil from the collision drove the heaviiy-ioadod cars backward, and although the two cars nearest the engine, which were a refrigerator car and a Burton stcck car, were not injured, the ten or twelve cars behind them wore smashed into kindling wood. Several of these were loaded with lumber, and this was strewed all along the track. The cars wore piled upon one another in indescriba. ble confusion, completely blocking both tracks for fully ono hundred yards. The flag ship Chicago, of the North Atlantic squadron, Captain John F.

SOMEWHAT CUEIODS. The population of the United States in 1800 consisted of 32,067,880 males and 30,554,370 females. The first book in which the word America appears was printed in the little mountain monastic town, St. Die, in 1507. The longest canal In the world is the one which extends from the frontier of China to St. Petersburg. It measures in all 4,472 miles. The largest theater in the world is the opera house in Paris. It covers nearly three acres of ground and cost about $20,000,000. Several years ago there was a law in Poland which compelled all slanderers to walk on all fours through the streets. The size of America can be fully realized when it has been proven that there is land enough to give every person in it a farm of one hundred acres. Bergen, Norway, boasts of a cluipch built entirely of paper and waterproof. It can seat nearly one thousand persons in comfort. According the United States statistics farm land in New Jersey is rated at an average of $65 per acre, the highest of any State in the Union. The pension agency in Topeka is the largest in the country. It pays out annually $15,000,000 to the veterans of Kansas, Missouri and Colorado. In South Greenland the color of the hair ribbon which a woman ties ai’ound her head denotes the social condition of the wearer, whether she be maid,.or wife, or widow.

Stockings made from human hair are worn by Chinese fishermen as the best preventive of wet feet. They are drawn over ordinary cotton stockings, being too rough for putting next the skin. The world-famous grape vine at Hampton Court, the largest in England, and supposed to be 125 years old, bore nearly 1,200 bunches of , ripe grapes this year. The fruit was packed in boxes and sent to the Queen. A chimney piece carved from wood over six thousand years old has recently been erected in a house in Edinburgh. The wood, an oak tree, was found in a sand pit at Musselburg, thirteen feet below the surface. The largest book ever known is owned by her Majesty Queen Victoria. It is eighteen inches thick and weighs sixty-three pounds, and contains the adc'resses of congratulation on the occasion of her Majesty’s jubilee. A strange ■ is followed by Mexican farmers. They use oxen cf one color in the morning, and another color in the afternoon. They do not know why; but they know that it must be right thing to do, because their forefathers did it. If you could cut sections out of the side of soap bubbles, and then had some delicate contrivance with which you could handle the pieces, you would find that it would take 50,000,000 films, laid one upon the other, to make a pile one inch in height. Mrs. Cora E. Thomas, of Hanover, Pa., who is visiting her mother at Libert}', Md., is thirty years of age, thirty-five inches in height, thirtysix inches around the waist, and weighs but thirty-nine pounds. In all her actions and habits she is still a child. Oregon is a name formerly given to an imaginary river of the West. Carver, an American traveler, mentions it in 1763.

Although whales grow to enormous size, sometimes eighty and even ninety feet long, the throat is so small that it cannot swallow a bite as large as a tea biscuit. This applies to the whale; the spermaceti has a mouth large enough to swallow a man.
