Dispatcher Davis was alive when taken from the wreck. lie was crushed about the lower part of his body and was couscious to the end. He stated to his rescuer that he knew he was dying and the end was not far off. "Place your ringer on my mouth," he said, "it feels so cool and good." In resixmse to his pleadings a fellow passenger remained with him for ten minutes, until he saw that nothing more could be done for Davis. Several cases were reported in which persons ransacked the wrecked cars for plunder. Some of the passengers are said to have participated in this, and a large amount of valuables and money scattered about the debris was taken.

Hears of Ills Friend's Death as Ho Is Entering Church. New York, Nov. "0. News of the death of Samuel Spencer in the Southern railway wreck reached J. P. Mor

gan just as lie was about to enier Grace church to attend the special Thanksgiving Day service. When the news of his friend's death was told him Morgan turned deadly pale. "Sam Spencer?'' he almost shouted. "My God! man, is Sam Spencer dead?" He trembled until his limbs almost gave way. Several friends, thinking he was about to collapse, ran to him. "This is a terrible shock," Morgan

said, when he had somewhat recovered himself. "I can't say anything now.

I was never so shocked in my life." A friend helped the financier to a car

riage and he was driven home.

The Vision of Insects. A notable fact about the vision of insects, and one which it may be supposed must largely influence their view of the external world, is the number of facets, or lense-s, in compound eyes. A German naturalist, K, Leinemann, has been painstaking enough to count the number of facets in the eyes of no fewer than 130 species of beetle. He finds that in the same species and sex the number increases with the size of the body. There is usually no permanent differences between the sexes as to the

number of facets. Occasionally, however, the difference is marked. ss in the case of Lampyris splendidula, ia which the male has 2,500 and the female 300. One species is noted which has the extraordinary number of 24,000 facets in its eye. The number of facets is greater in the rapidly moving active forms than ia '.'" more sluggish species.

Needed No Opera Glasses. The men employed under Superin-

tendent Kirkland in removing the brown-tail moths and nests from trees are furnished with cans of creosote, the cans in form very much resembling a pair of field glasses, says the Boston Herald. One day Mr. Kirkland was accosted by a stranger who asked if he was the man who had charge of the work. Mr. Kirkland replied that he was. "Well, don't you want to hire a man?" the stranger asked. Mr. Kirkland replied that he did, asking him to give his references. "Well," was the answer, "I can see them bugs without them opera glasses." He was hired.

TESLA'S STRENGTH OF WILL.

Early Proyed Possession of It to Remarkable Degree.

Except One They Were Instantly

Killed Spencer Nearly Cremated.

The collision was between the

Jacksonville express and the Washing

ton and Southwestern vestibule limit

ed, both south-bound. President Spencer and his entire party, as far as 13

known, were sleeping when the col

luion occurred, and the probabilities

are that all of them excepting Dis

patcher Davis were killed instantly. It

is certain that life was extinct before the flames touched them. President Spencer's body was- burned almost beyond recognition, as was that of Fisher. The body of Schuyler was taken from under the train before it was burned very much, having been singed only slightly. President Spencer's car was attached to the rear of the Jacksonville train, which was standing still when struck. President Spencer was lying directly under the big locomotive of the rear train. So great was the force of the impact that the forward train was sent nt least ir.O feet ahead, the locomotive going over and upon the body of Spencer . Until after the debris burned Itself out and the engine cooled off tha bodies could not be removed. The wreck occurred on the crest of a steep grade when tho Atlanta train could not have been running more than thirty miles an hour, if that fast Had It been a mile or two further south the number of dead might have been

frightful, as the train was about two

hours behind its schedule, and a condition in the grade there that would have meant a speed of more than sixty miles an hour.

Nikola Tesla, the inventor, whose electrical apparatus is used in the

transmission of power from Niagara

falls, is a strikingly handsome man of 49 tall, dark, and typically Greek in features. He possesses strength of will to a remarkable degree, and

n proof of the forcefulness of his na

ture the following story is told:

When a lad between nine and ten,

his father, a priest of the Greek

church, one day entertained Nikola

and his sister with the story or how a

martyr held his right hand in the fire and unflinchingly watched it until it

was consumed.

The priest was full of admiration

for the bishop's courageous act. but

his son appeared unable to see any

thing particularly wonderful in such a

performance. His father laughed

good humoredly, whereupon the boy

ran out of the room and returned with

a small lamp, inis ne ligntea, ana

then, holding his index finger in the

flame, kept it there until the flesh be

gan to burn. His audience begged him to desist, but it was not until the

finger was almost charred that he

withdrew it and blew out the light.

Springfield, ill., Nov. 30. Bishop Seymour continues to grow weaker. Ills mind Is not clear. Bishop Coadjutor Osborne, addressing the united congregation of the Episcopal churches of the city at Christ church at Thanksgiving service, said he had come dirt ct from Bishop Seymour's bedside and that there was no hope.

on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was subsequently released on $25

That It Is a Valuable Fighting Asset

Is Questioned.

It is a fresh experience to take up a

book which preaches a doctrine ol

hatred on the ground that a "living

personal hatred" is a most valuable

fighting asset, and this is all that can be said in favor of these "Heresies of

Sea-Power." Mr. Jane quotes Nelson

to support his curious theory and de

clares that a crude desire to kill Rus

sians contributed materially to the

success of Japanese arms lu the late

war. It is unfortunate for his argu

ment that Nelson should have been

so consistently chivalrous to oppo

nents and that the Japanese seem tc

have been anxious to spare and save

life whenever killing served no useful purpose. This attempt to connect blood lust with victory shows ho'W difficult it may be for a civilian to ua derstand the peculiar sympathy whict

exists between fighting men of differ

ent nations. "I am going, I hope and trust, to join Nelson," said Gravina on

his deathbed, and from what we kno

of Nelson he was probably the first to

greet bis old enemy in the Halls ol

Valhalla. Saturday Review.
