Only the presence of mind of an engineer and the quick response of the air brakes controlled by him prevented a terrible accident at th street and Marsland avenue this morning and the loss of many Itves. About 7:30 this morning car No. 26 of the Belt line, occupied by about a dozen passen- gers, reached 6th street, going westward, just | as the gatemen dropped the gates acrows Mary- land avenue to allow an engine to pass through 6th street. The engine having passed the gates were raised and the car started across 6th street. Just aw the driver started up his herses atrain dashed into 6th street from Virginia avenue. The gateman immediately dropped his gates, the eastern one falling between the driver of the car and his ‘horses, Soe- ing thet he could not go back he hipped his horses up, breaking off the gnte. ‘The western gate, however, prevented from ‘crossing ‘his’ car on the 6th street tracks directly in the way of the coming train. The engineer of the train, taking in the lous condition of the street car at a glance, Instantly applied hia air brakor, and fortunately thev were in perfect working condition. Never- theless, it was the tightest of shaves, for the engine was Qualty bronght to « standstill but ten feotfrom the street car. The car was an open one, and the passengers lost no time in jomping fromit. But according to. the state- ment of One of its passengers, an old railroad man, made to a Stan reperter, had the air brakes refused to work or had the engineer & second late in applying them the engine Ubave plowed its way through the street eone of ita passengers could have jumped.

The flames had not gained | much headway and the chances were that the | task under ordinary circumstances would be an | casy one, but resulting as it did from an over- head electric light wire in close proximity to the | roof, the metallic covering of the building was | charged with electricity, and the firemen were | therefore in danger.

Enongh of the roofing was torn away to give the plucky firemen plenty of Teom to work and they soon succeeded tn ex- i the flames.

As indicated in Tux Star, the Georgetown the hour there was a good-sized crowd assem- bled to see the horses start off. They were hitched to the cable, and as they struggled along over the smooth pavement the great cable was uncoiled and found a resting place upon the aystem of wheels at the bottom of the conduit. The cable had been conducted out of the power house and “up the avenue and 15th street, passing over the serios of wheels at the curves until the turn was passed at 15th street and New York avenue. STARTED TOWARD GEORGETOWN, Then the sixty horses were attached and the cable was started toward Georgetown. Fresh Telays of horses were stationed at different points along the road, and as the cable wound out and tho totel mass to be moved became | hesvier the fresh horses were brought in and the line was kept moving. The horses showed the benetit of the training received during their service on the road and were ready to start at the given sigual. At the head of each team stood a driver, and he stimulated the animals by voice and whip. At the curves men were down in the conduit to see that the cable fell in place 1m the grooves of the pulleys. ‘went on so emoothly that the cable was carried over the entire line from the power house to Georgetown and back and the work wa: completed by early morning. ‘The cable to the Navy Yard and the one to will be laid, and by the end of next week a few cats will be run to thoroughly test the working of the new road. -__~» ___ GEORGETOWN.

To the Faitor of The Evening Star: ‘The first part of the summer was rather cool, even up to the middle of June; then came the hot weather of the last half of the first stated summer month. We then thought that we had had some hot summer weathor—weather hot enongh to be spoken of as typical of summer heat. The first part of July followed, cool and pleasant, delightful summer weather, which all praised and enjoyed. The heated term many thought to be over early in the season, But later—the last half of July—fol- lows a heated term, beside which that of the hot, speli in June is’ comparatively mild. The same meteorological conditions asin June are repented, only intensified. That 1s, continued north “lows with the “highs” far away, and of little value, as well indicated on the map by | the positions of these factors,“high” and “low,” the gradients being far apart and the figures oa the highest line of “high” showing only 30 and one or two-tenths and that of the “low” about 29.9. Such conditions of location and degree of measurement will produce the same effect every time, though at one time they may be more intense than st another. ‘The “high,” what little there was, was in the southeast and far uorthwost and the “low” ly- ing far to the north, from the “lake region” to the St. Lawrence valley. There was (on the 23d) a “high” in the aorthwost, from which seemed to promise relief by the 25th at least, | but this “high” did not move on such a line as to make it of any value to the greater portion | the United States. It evidently moved np into Canada beyond our line of stations and where it would have no effect in counteracting the in- fluence of the relatively north “lows,” from which we were having so much tropical heat. To repeat for the benefit of those who have not seen former articles sent to Tux Stan the wind is from the “high” to the “low,” therefore if we have the “low” ona relatively high line of latitude, say centering as far north as 50 or 55 degrees north latitude, and no very positive th,”” with a clean sweep way to the gulf, south winds must come for a lo over a country that is heated day after day by the action of the sun. The airs, ae it were, are thereby passing over miles of heated becoming hotter and hotter as they advance toward the “low” fur to the north that is draw- ing them on toward the territory for the time occupied by it. Of course there are counter- day the thermometer, even way up in northern New England and throughout the north gen- erally, reaches to the 100 taark or beyond. Where there is no bank of “high” there can be no basis for a wind. Where the reservoir is large and well elevated the flow of water therefrom will be great and the current strong. So with the air. “When there is a large and powerful “high,” say 30.6, and covering an area of 1,000 by 700 miles, the wind therefrom * will be cold and’ will reach a velocity of many miles to the hour, eay twenty-five to fifty or more. The summer condition of the atmosphere is of a very negative form, represented on the map by the gradients being very far apart, showing the pressure to be very even over tho surface of the country. A midwinter map, when the temperature is relatively low all over the coun- try, and the winds are blowing what the sailors call “great guns,” the gradiente will be found to be much closer together, and the “high” will be extensive, and both the “high” and the “low” be of a very positive nature. Where the gradients are far a) writing, there isa better opportunity for the | there are no winds to take the heat away. Stagnation prevails in the atmosphere. Such weather as this it is refreshing to read the philosophers who so delight to write about the cvoling process of the earth and the sun. Such weather as this, though, they do not seem to come to the front. Despite all their calcula- tions there is evidently some heat left in the sun, and only give it a fair chance to show it- self and the evidence will be quite convincing to the world that Old Sol is good fora many years yet. LPN.
