MORNING FOR AMERICA. London, Aug. 22.-Li Hung Chang, i special Ambassador of the Empire of China, with his suite, left Waterloo Sta- ; tion at 0 o'clock this morniug for South- ampton, where he embarks on board the lammrit-uu. line steimer St. Louis for View York. 'The Ambassador and the metnbers of his suite were driven to the ' station in four royal carriages. A large of friends gathered around the railway car occupied by the distin- guished Chinaman and remained until the traiu moved away. 11 Hung Ching shook hands fud conversed with every- : body in the groupe, which included Sit Dorrld A. Sinith, Canadian High Com- missioner in London; Hiram Maxim, the Inventor; Dr. Irvine, an American, und Archer Baker, European traftie Hhalllday MacCartney, English Serre tary of the Chinese Legation, accom- panied the party to Southampton. Just before the train started Ii Hung Chang lighted a long sgilyver-tubed pipe, which he began puffing with satisfaction. As the train steamed away he was still smoking, at the same time responding to the farewell cheers of his friends by smiling, bowing and waving his hand. When Li Hung Chang and his party arrived at Southampton: they immedi- ately weut on board the steamer St. Louls ,which became the scene of a { of ia most genial character. The drawing recom of the St. Louis was converted into a great reception hall nud the Chinese Ambassador held a levee which Insted some time. Indeed It Is not within recollection that any visitor to England has received so grand At. \send off,\ 'The Mayor of Southamp- ton, United States Consul Kinkaid, and the other Consuls stationed at South- wmpton ind the local dignitaries made farewell speeches, all of which were addressed directly to the Chinese statesnin and as the steamer was lear- ing hor dock the Ambassador and his party wore cheered by thousands of people who had gathered on the wharf tu bid bood-bye to the visitors.

A FAST FREIGHT TRAIN CRASH- ED INTO ANOTHER FREIGHT TRAIN NEAR ROCHESTER-- MUCH PROPERTY DAMAGED. Rochester, Aug. 2 2 .-An extra edit- ion of the Democrat and Chronicle says a most disastrous freight wreck occurr- ed .on the Central-Hudson railroad one and one-quarter miles east of Fair- port, 10 miles from this city, about mid- night, last night, piling the tracks of that road with demolished cars and en- gines. Shortly before midnight train No. 572, standing on track No. 8, wait- ing for another westbound train to take water, was run into by the Syracuse & Rochester local, running between De- witt and East Rochester, The head of train No, 572 was around a sharp curve, but the lights in the caboose were in a position to be seen for a mile down the track. Engineer Woodford of Engine No. 571, which crashed into the other train, was seen at the wreck shortly after the trains came together. He stated that he did not have any signals thrown out against his train and that he did not see the lights of the train pulled by engine No. 572 until it was too late to stop his train. He re- versed his engine and stuck to his post. Engine No. 571 is a complete wreek, having telescoped the caboose and nearly a dozen freight cars loaded with valuable freight. In the caboose of train No. 572 were several of the crew | and their escape from instant death is miraculous. 'The members of the crew who were in the caboose of the forward train were spilled out into the wreckage which is scattered all over tracks 1, 2 I and 3. 'The rear brakeman, named Mitchell, is severely injured and like other members of the crew is badly bruised. l EngineerWoodford was severely shocked by the collision but not serious- } ly injured. The crew of train No. 57 1] were mostly on deck when the crash ' came and they were thrown from the ! train with great force. 'Train No. 571, consisted of 60 cars, the contents of the last ten cars were scattered in all direc- tions. to Crane & Breed, undertakers, of Cin- { cinuati, were nearly all/ demolished. i The wreck caught fire from the lamps in the caboose and several cars were de- ' stroyed before help arrived. The head brakeman ran to Fairport and notified the operator to telegraph to Dewitt for ia wrecking crew. 'The pilot and wooden ercss beams of the engine on train No, 571 were burned away when help arrived. 'The front of the boiler was crushed in, the smokestack was torn off, the bell-hanger bent, the driv- ing rods twisted like wire, the cylinder head blew out and the machinery was itll demolished. Railroad men say the loss will certainly reach $50,000. It could not be ascertained who was to blame for the accident, but the engineer on train No. 571 will likely be called up- on for an explanation. He has stated that the lights of No. 572 were in posi- tion to be seen for a mile down the track. At 5 a. m., the three wrecking crews from Dewitt had cleared up two of the tracks and the ather two will be cleared before noon. Electricians aver that it is possible for those inured to the business to re- ceive with impunity double the volts that would kill any one who was in mortal fear of the mysterious fluid. .

LOOKING FOR MILLIONS. BUFFALO MAN HEIR TO A SCOTCH ESTATE OF FABULOUS VALUE. TORONTO, Aug. 22.-At Niagara Falls lives Mrs. Cook, a ladv 90 years of age. She was married years ago to Frank Cook, a soldier in the Dragoon Guards, The day after Cook enlisted, and on the eve of his departure with his regiment, he was told a strange story by his reputed father. It was that he was not his son, but was the son of Wilbraham, fifth earl of Dysart, by a secret marriage with a lady to whom the family objected. Cook was the result of this union, which was never divulged. The child was given to his reputed father to be taken care of, and was brought up in the parish of Wilby, near Thrambingham, in Suffolk county, in total ignorance of his illustrious birth. There he met Mrs. Cook, whom he also married on the quiet: 'Then be enlisted in the Dragoon Guards, and accompanied by his wife wandered about with his regiment, which finally came to Canada and was stationed at Chambly. *. Cook's time expired and leaving his regiment he went to Niagara, where he worked until his death in 1851, at what- ever turned up. During that time he tried secretly to verify his foster father's story, but failed. The matter has been put into the hands of Lawyers Horn and Barrett, who are sifting the claims of Mrs. Cook. This claim is that her husband's father was Wilbraham, fifth earl of Dysart, who suc- ceeded his brother Lionel, the fourth earl. Wilbraham married openly his brother's sister-in-law, but had no children. Cook claimed that Wilbraham had previously married his mother secretly. The presont earl derives the title by de- scent from Wilbraham's sister who suc- ceeded him. The Scotch estates are enor- mously wealthy and there are the county possessions of Ham House, Petersham, Surry and Buckminster Park, Lincoln shire. * John Cook of 291 Plymouth avenue, -Buffalo, is Mrs. Cook's grandson and tho heir to the supposed title. Raines Law Receipts. ALBANY, Aug. 22.-The amount of money collected under the Raines liquor tax law still continues to swell and the returns from all counties up to Aug. 15 show the total to be $10,801,095.56. Of this amount New York city has contrib» uted $4,905,189.92; Kings county, $2,124,- 504.41, and Erie county, $835,977.71 Itis confidently expected by Commissioner Lyman that more than $11,000,000 will be collected during the first year the law is in operation. Death of a Distinguished Physician. PMILADELPEIA, Aug. 22. -Dr. Charles G. Raue, a distinguished physician and one of the four medical men who intro- duced homeopathy in this city, has died of general debility, aged 77 years. Dr. Raue came to this city in 1848 from Sax- ony, the place of his birth. He was the author of. Raue's \Special Pathology and Diagnostics,\ which since 1867 has been used as a textbook in all American home- opathic colleges. THE. MARKETS. New York Money, Market. New York, Aug. MA.

Inexporsizs Apparatus Recently Devised _by a New York Man. The expense of special Crookes tubes, powerful coils and batteries has de- terred many from entering this inter- esting field of experiment; but Mr. R. McNeil, of New York, has recently de- vised an apparatus in which an ordinary incandescent lamp is substituted for the Crookes tube, and an induction coil of. common form is made to supply electricity of sufficiently high poten- tial to produce the X-ray phenomena. The lamp, which is a 52-volt and 16- cundle power Sawyer-Men Jamp, is made of German or lime glass. For convenience ' it is mounted in an in- sulating standard. The top of the lamp is covered with aluminum foil, which is connected with one terminal of the secondary of the induction coil, and the bottom is connected with the other terminal of the secondary, as shown. The X-ray proceeds from the cathode. X RAYS EXPERIMENT SIMPLIFIED, By means of the fluoroscope the shad- ows of the bones of the hands and feet, also of the limbs, may be seen, when they are placed between the instrument and the lamp. It has been found in this experiment that when a blue fog appears in the limp, the vacuum is too low for the best results. By placing the lamp in the house cirouit for 15 or 30 minutes the high vacuum is restored by the heat and will remain good for about 15 min- . utes. The coil is capable of giving a three- inch spark, and the X ray produced by this simple and inexpensive apparatus is sufficient for making mdiographs.-- Sclentific American. . 7 AFTER-DAMP IN MINES. Hew to Detect Deadly Gases Resulting . from Explosion. When there have been explosions in coal mines, due to the presence of in- flammable gases, there result other gases which exert an unwholesome, if not positively fatal, influence on human life. In a certain instance, mentioned in a recent British scientific report, 52 . deaths resulted in this indirect way, and five directly, from the explosion. Hitherto, the \after-damp or gas pro- duced by the ignition of \fire-damp\- in mines, has been believed to consist essentially of carbon dioxide, or a com- bination of carbon and oxygen in the proportion of ong atom of the former to | two of the latter. But in the case just mentioned, carbon monoxide (which : contains only half as much oxygen) played a conspicuous part. The lips, skin and mucous membrane, through which the color of the blood was visible, were of a much brighter red than is ob- served when death results from other causes. It was suspected that this was due to the presence of carbon monoxide, and subsequently tests verified the sus- picion. The coloring matter of the blood contained no less than 79 per cent. of this gas. It was thus ascertained for the first time just what percentage of saturation with this particular gas is neccessary to produce death. The report which contains this information calls fresh attention to the fact that the flame of a miner's lamp, which gives in- dications of the presence of, carbon dioxide, does not.reveal the existence of carbon monoxide. Dr. John Haldane, who prepared the report, advises, there- fore, that white mice be kept in cages near to, but outside all coal mines, and that one or more of these animals be taken down the shafts for test purposes . whenever there has been an explosion. It has been found that mice are much more sensitive to the baleful effécts of carbon monoxide than are human be- ings. EYES OF ANIMALS. They Possess a Musclo Not Found in the Human Organ. Human beings have six muscles to gach eye, that they may with facility move it on either side; but horses, cows, sheep and other quadrupeds, which habitually incline their heads to the earth in. search of food, have a muscle by which the eyelids are suspended and | supported, and which we do not need. This is a wonderful adaptation to the circumstances in which the poor crea- ture is placed. For‘gxample, the eyes of the amphibious animals partly agree with those of the fish and quadruped. The cat and the tiger, which prow! by night, have a peculiar power of ex- panding the pupil. Theeyes of fish have no apparatus to moisten them, and it would be obviously unnecessary. The eye is adapted to the properties of light, so that it refracts the light and brings it to a focus on the retina. Our best and most perfect glasses are by no means equal to the human eye. Gnats and flies have a great rumber of eyes; they can see on every side without any movement of the organ of vision.. Fish have a crystalline, almost round, to fit the eyes to the strong refraction of light in the element in which theylive, and though they have no eyelids their cornea is horny to defend their sight. The mole has two very small eyes hid under its velvet coat; these are admira- bly suited to his mode of living, chiefly under the ground. - Pittsburgh Dis- patch.\ - < Scales on the Human Body.
