shakesneare,s Eyebrow


Miss Sarah W. Gillette of Evans
ton, Ills, rejoices in the possession of
what she believes to be Shakespeare's
eyebrow.
Miss G.'s father, the late DR.. H. G.
Gillette, bought the relic from R. G.
Oaks Of England In 1851 Oaks was
deputed to carve an olive wreath to
encircle bust of Shakespeare. At
that time the Duke of Devonshire
owned the Kesselstadt death mask of
Shakespeare.
This death mask had been discov-
cred in pawnbroker's shop in Kes-
selstadt and pronounced to be a
Shakespearean mask.
Oaks was permitted to use the mask
in making the laurel wreath He

Value of the Atmosphere.

Careful experiments have shown
that the rate per second at which
bodies acquire velocity in falling
through the air is 80 feet per second
at the end of the first second from
starting. At the end of the next
second it is going at the rate of "a
feet per second, and so on through
the whole time of falling. Where
the velocity is known the space
through which the body has fallen
may be ascertained by multiplying
the velocity at that period by the
number of seconds during which it
has been falling and dividing the
result by two. This rule applies,
however, only to bodies falling
through a vacuum.
The resistance of our atmosphere
materially retards raindrops, hail
stones, aerolites and all other bodies
which fall through it, and were it not
for the resistance it presents every
rainstorm would be disastrous to the
human race, as each drop would fall
with velocity great enough to pene-
trate the full length of a full grown
mans body. London Nature.

"The small boy" has amused himself
snow. balling the last few days, and the Gel
lestial residents haye been the victims.
The poor Mongolians, who quietly so about
their business, are annoyed at every street
corner by hoodlums snow-balling them.
They take this good naturedly with some
exceptions, and the youthful scion of the
soil soon beats hasty retreat when at
tackled by billigerent Cinnamon. 1t is not
agreeable to pleasurable state of existence
to be attacked by snow.balls, and in many
instances they inAict bruises and hurts
which are not conducive to angelic condi-
tion of existence. Cold philosophy might
dictate that it would be better "to bear the
ills we have than fly to those we know not
of" but when remedy can be easily and
readily applied, human desires will resort
to the quicker method, and the "small
boy" must make himself very scarce" or
take the consequences.

/ In an article entitled ''Fe leral Control Of
/ Railways" in the current number If the
/ RaIWJY Age. Senator Culio.n, the author
Of the Interstate commerce act, discusses
the pooling question He SAYS:
! "Railroas companies urge tina, no Law fo-
/ the prevention of unjust determinations
will OF can be enforced as against all the
! common carriers, unle the anti pooling
section Of the cOmmercs act shall be re-
pealed and law passed leGslzing contracts
between railroad common carriers author
izing pooling in some form. Opposition to
pooling by common carriers is strong in
the minds of the people, and it is urged
with great force that to legalize pooling of
freights ana earnings or either, would re-
suit in the carriers being able to maintain
higher rates than would other wise obtain:
that whatever power might be given to the
commission the charges upon freight and
passengers would be increased as the result
of the effect OF contracts under which COM
petition would cease"
Senator Cullon is Of the opinion that IL
pooling we're authorized rates would be
higher, ami says that while stability OF rates
is important to the business of the country,
as well to the railroads, fucsuation in
rates is less Objectionable than high rates
that would Cypress business. 1t is true that
rates that would Cypress business would be
far more Objectionable than fuctuation in
rates, but would 1t necessarily follow that
il pooling were allowed rates would be
higher than they are under the law pro-
hlbiting pooling3 Would it not be an easy
matter for the interstate commerce comS
mission to regulate the rates-much more
easy in fact than it IS to prevent discrimina-
ations2 Oppressive rates would cause com
plants, and if the commission hasn't already
the power to fix rates it could be given that
power.
At present there is no stability in the
rates. There are associations for maintain
ing rates, but the fixed rates are not adj
hered to. The rate agreed upon may ap-
pear in the bills made out against shippers,
but the shippers may have received thou
sands of pounds more of freight than they
are charged for. Such shippers have great
advantage over those who are not in posi-
tlon to get such advantages. The roads lose
money that rightfully belongs to them, and
shippers in some cities cannot compete with
men in the same line Of business in nearby
cities.
Senator Cullom does not seem 20 have
given the subject of pooling very thorough
consideration,

stiu Harping on the Roach Case.
Although the Senate has adjourned the
republican press continues to talk about thu
Roach case The New York Tribune
virtually SAYS that it does not believe that
Senator Roach was acting in good faith
when be rose IN his place in the Senate aud
stated that he wanted the resolution pro
viding for an investigation Of ths charge
/ against him passed. It iusinuqtes that his
act was part Of a well-understo0d pro-
gramme to prevent an investigation. and at
the same time TO create the impression that
the charge was without substantial foun-
dation.
The Tribune practically charges that the
purpose Of the democrats is to prevent an
investigation, not because they think Sena-
tor Roach is innocent, but because they are
afraid be win lose his seat if the investiga-
tion is made, and that it will not be possible
to elect a democrat to succeed him-that the
North Dakota legislature being republican
body he was not elected by fair means.
There is no good reason for saying that
Senator Roach was not sincere in his de-
mand for an investigation. He stated
that he had not before in
sisted upon an investigation for
the reason that the opinion prevailed among
those who advised him that the Senate was
without authority to inquire into charges
against senator that related to matters
that occurred before that senator was
elected. Whether or not the Senate has
such right hos not yet been determined
The question will come before that body
again at its next session.
But it seems altogether unjust to Senator
Roach to assert not only that he is guilty
of the charge that has been preferred against
him, but also that his election to the Senate
was not an honest one. II be was elected
by dishones: means that fact ought to have
been shown before he was permitted to
take his seat. 1t is safe to assume that there
is no ground for saying that he was not
elected honorably. the republicans
were too anxious to retain control Of
the Senate not to have kept Senator
Roach out of his seat if they could. And it
is not at all improbable that he will show
that the charge that he is an embezzler is
not true. His manner is, and has been ever
since ne has come into prominence, that of
an honest man. 1t is confidently believed
by those who know him that he is able to
give a satisfactory explanation of the
charge OF emoezzlement that is now so
freely made against him in the republican
newspapers
