Specialists Ant to Be One Sided.

Experto crede is sound advice. and nine
ty-something times out of a hundred we
take it and do well. The other odd times
either we take it and don't do well, or we
take it with misgivings, or we don't take
it at all. The world s experience has taught
that in certain kinds of cases the wisdom
that has finally justified itself mas been the
wisdom of the unlearned. The babes and
Stockings of knowledge have hit upon the
truth that the doctors have not been able
to see. And so ordinarily sagacious people
come to make instructive allowance for the
prejudices Of learning, as they do for what
the unlearned don't know A valuable
pocket of knowledge on some particula:
line of investigation is often acquired, like
ambergris in whales, at the cost Of a con-
siderable degeneration of the rest of the
creature.
Even so great man as Darwin had to
give up such intellectual valuables as his
taste for music and his interest in religion
in exchange for what he learned about

come in for degree of chastened mistrust,
and are in danger of being regarded as In

incessant application to one class of phe-
uomena, get a list, as the mariners say, in

VISHTASPA.

For thirty years Vishtaspa reigned alone
No King above him in the e PITY skies,
No Lord of all earth's fallen sovereignties
To mark the mighty tedium of his throne
To him the secrets of the stars were known.
He was above all sages great and wise;
Yet as the years dragged on without surprise
He wearied of this world that was his own
Earth is too narrow for the dreaming soul
Aye, though she hold it all from pole to pole,
Her least desire is wider than the whole.
Therefore who knows the limit Of his power
DIsdains the trivial baubles of an hour.
And plunges where the seas of silence roll.
Life is dream" Vishtaspa said, wherein
The dreamer lives alone. the rest is vain.
- My dream shall end, for would sleep again {"
He went his palace terraces to win.
Farewell" he said, glitter and glare and din;
FAREWELL / cast me to the quiet plain"
But as he would have leapt, a voice spoke
plain,
mortal, thy Master saith, thou shalt not SIM"
Lo, at his side, unguessed, Zoroaster trod;
Oh, sudden peace Of heart, oh, deep delight
Of souls outgrown religions earlier rite,
Yet spent and thirsting for the springs of God,
When the undreamed Of prophet deigns t APP
pear!
Vishtaspa reigned in rapture many year.

The South American eagle, the largest of
it's species known, flies to height of from
10000 feet to $1,000 feet. Its power of fly
ing to high attitudes is only exceeded BY
the condor of the Andes, which is said to
have attained the height of six miles.
On Mount Washington, in New Hamp-
shire, lives a little colony of butterflies
that never descend below 1900 feet from
the summit. They are completely isolated
from others of their kind, no other butter
flies being found in any other spot in their
immediate vicinity.
A good illustration of the amount of
change brought about by deep sea investi-
cations in our ideas of the distribution Of
the fishes is to be seen in the recent history
of the discoboli. 1t is now shown that the
discoboies. diskbearers, lumpfshes, suck
ing fishes or sea snails as they are vari-
ously called, are no longer restricted TO
the Atlantic and Pacific in their northern
parts and to the Arctic ocean.

ANflTY OR CHAOS.
The AtchIson-ROck Island Fight
MAY Result Badly.

May lecSuiC odutys
CHICAGO. March 5.-Western railroad
men do not feel at all easy in regard to
the outcome of the snarl in which they
have got regarding rates to Kansas
points. Now that the fight has mar
rowed down to contest between the
Atchison and the Rock Island, the in
terest has reached point where specu-
lation is freely INDUCED i'll as to whether
an amicable settlement is possible or
decentralization and chaos inevitable.
The order of the Kansas railway COM
missioners reduces fifth-class rates only,
from the Missouri river to Wichita. Sa-
lima, Hutchinson and points in that
state. 1t does not apply to fourth-class
freight, which consists mainly OF the
articles embraced in the fifth class, in
less than carload lots, which takes
higher rate per l0) pounds. The Atch-
isOn argues IN favor of simply obeying
the order of the commissioners without
disturbing in the least any but fifth
class rates, while the Rock Island de-
clares that such proceeding would be
illegal. and insists on corresponding
reduction of fourtt-class rates to pre-
serve the existing relations between
carload and less than carload shipments.
OF course the Rock Islands position
is the popular one with shippers at and
east of the Missouri river, because it is
calculated to protect their interests. On
the other hand the attitude of the Atchi-
son has the support OF many practical
railroad managers for two reasons:
First, because the Kansas commission
ers have announced that if fourth-class
rates are reduced they will make a
further reduction in fifth class; second,
they believe the order of the commits
sioners to be illegal, and think the rail-
roads. if they obey at all, should obey it
literally, and let the whole responsibility
rest upon the commissioners them
selves.
Moreover, the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that the railroads should, after
putting the reduced rates into effect,
carry the fight into the courts as the sur
est way of defeating the order and re-
storing former tariffs. 1t Is agreed.
however, that this cannot easily be
doHe with the Atchison and Rock Island
pulling in opposite directions, and a
regular rate war is feared.
KANSAS CITY. March Sit has at
length been definitely decided by the
Union Pacific, the Missouri Pacific and
the Santa Fe that the Kansas railroad
commissioners order of Jan. 16 regard
ing the frst-class tariff shall go into
effect as soon as legal notice can be
given to that effect. The Rock Island
Still holds out, and says it will not make
the reduction unless forced to by COM
petiOn, and then it will also reduce the
fourth-clas IS tariff.
