THE RAILRoAD-FARE BILL.

Immediately upon the VETO by cover
nor Palmer Of lhe bill tix,cg 3 maximum
rate to be charged by the ra,lr ,ads f5r
thetrsnspor'atlon of pssseng :rs, Mt. Sen
ator Fulltr introduced q new bill, which
is sadly defective in seV.rai particulars.
A synopsis CT this ne~ bill was published
in The TRIBUNE yesterday. The ollbiil
established mn1.mu:n n rate Of fares, pro.
hibiling asy charge in excess Of these,
but permitting the company TO take as
much les asthsy pleased. Tue new bill,
in effect, rtversIs this rule. Il authorizes
the railroad company to charge and c7!-
lect "a just, reasonable, and uniform"
rale OF fire for the transportation OF
freight and passengers, hu. it does not
permit the company, under any circum-
stancez, to take any less. Tnus, if the
fare be ween Belvide.e and Chicago be
50 Ter each passenger, and the North
western Company sh1uld offer to bring
500 OF the pood people OF that town to
Chicago AID teke item home again for
S3-ch.rg:uR ba. the one raM-lhen, &C.
cord.pg 10 Judge FuElet's new bill,
the fa1c be- Teen ChicAgo AMI Belvidure
thercefor1h and forever must remain at
$3.50. II the railroad company issue half
iare tickets to delegates attending con-
ventiops, then, according to Judge Fu!-
ler, the hasf-fare rate mus thencstorWaEd
be the full rate. The Illinois Centra
Railroad issues commutation tickets, By
which persons living at Hyde Park CAL
80 or conc the distance OF SIX miles TO-
len CENTS. Acc -1d,ng to Judge Fuller
bill, Should The 1l'iuois Central Issue sucl
tickets. thenii mus. issue ticke B tor Cairs
al The sane rate per mite. which mus
thence'orwsrd be The Uniform charge fol
riding over that road.
The bill Is AGAINST public policy becaus
It destroys compstid n. Whenever tge
roads come In ompet,ston, either for III
freight or passenger business Of certai7
portion OF their" tines, there will be, {
couEse, reduction Of rates to the CT
tent Of The competition, be 1t t,
80, 100, or 200 miles. Accordi1
to Judge FuAer's bill, railroad 1educir
its rates over portion Of its line mu
make q like 1educsicn over the who
xoad. THIS ls an tfIecsual prohibition
any 1euuc ion Of ta1es as result OF col
petition, It will drive lhe competil
roads, Of necessity, to agree upon t

Some years ago photograph of a bronze
statue was taken at Berlin. Besides the image it
showed a few small, faint streaks ofIight, one OF
which shot upward from the point of a spear
held in the hand Of the statue. What prod ucea
them was question which at length was solved
by member Of the Prussian Academy OF Sci
ences. He suggested that the figure was in an
electric condition while the photograph was
taken; that streams OF electric hight were pas
sing of at various points, and that these,
though invisible 10 the eye, were detected by
the photograph. Hence there was a talk about
invis BILE light. This has recently beer veri.
fed: BY sending an electric current through
aGeisslers tube "a glass abe almost completely
exhausted OF air., an interior light Is produced
which cannot be seen by daylight but which Is
distinctly shown in photograph of the tube
1t has often been remarked that photography
detects particulars which escape observation,
and here is another proof of it.
