The Western Roads VIII Unite in Up
holding Rates.


Chicago. July 1S.--The great strike Is
likely to have the effect of uniting the
railways, particularly those Of the west,
in closer union than they have ever
had up to the present. The General
Managers Association handled the
strike in a manner so satisfactory to all
the roads concerned, that they have be-
gun to ask why the same spirit of har-
mony which enabled them to make such
q fight in dealing with the strikers,
could not be utilized to advantage in
traffic matters. There is the strongest
kind of feeling that all roads should be
concentrated in an effort to maintain
rates, and so far as possible diminish
expenses. Several schemes have already
been proposed, the principal one Of
which is that all roads west Of the Mis-
souri, river shall be formed in an asso-
citation similar to the Western Passen>
gen Association, but at the same time
independent of that body. but working
In harmony with 1t.

Carroll D, Wright, the csm.

an agricultural poiRt Of view, can
not be svsr-rstsd. Previously to

trsducsd from tho Chinchs islaads
of Peru, and owisg ts the greater
solusility Of this commodity, the
dsmand fer it rapidly increased.
As time went on. however, the
inadequate and rapidly decreasing
supply of gasas and bone dust led
to ths sctive development of the
phosphate Industry OF South
Carolina in 1867 and in Florida
seas q years later. La 1889, the
last year for whish statistics are
csmplsts, the quantity Of phos-
pilates produced ia the Usltsd

1asar of the fertilizer 10 France,

credited with 100000 tons, after

EARTH Solid ALL

it presents. La some respects h'
know. more &beut the planets anC

knowledge OF the sarth's surface ia

greater than his knowledge of it's
iAtsrisr. It"wss the belief OF
seiaatIsts years age, aud 1t is still
the belief of the majority of
tslsrahly well.rsad people, that
this .arth of ours is molten mass
covered by a thin srsst of chilled
and hardened material. One of
the Suggested -rsssens for this
belief is ths obssrvatiS. = ,.s..tt-the
temperature of rocks increases az
ene deseends lats the earth at the
rate OF ons degree for about sixty
four feet. 1t has been assumed
from this observation that a
temperature which wenld mslt tha
rocks would be reached before
going many miles. Volcanic ac-
tiSa has also suggested q Aeltea
interior, and SO also has the ap
psarsnee of rscks subjected to
great heat. But scientists do not
accept these observations as con-
elusive. On the csntiary, they
show that SO far az these obssrva-
items go, the question is still left
open, and that there arc certain
other facts whish APPEAR mere
coscluslvsly to show that the
earth is solid or nearly solid. Ths
increase sf Temperature in the I'M
terror of the earth 10 accompanied
by Increase of pressure, which it
is believed, raises the melted
point, SO that notwithstanding the
observations in nines, the melting
point of rocks may never be
reached. Moreover, volcanoes
may net be vents for the iAterior
molten mass nsr for large rsssr-
voirs. Th~ matter they eject nay
be rendered fluid or gaseous at tho
momsnt of eruption by a saddsn
withdrawal of pressure or by the
setios OF water. The proofs Of
ths thsory that the earth is solid |

cowardly blood, writes the Rev. L. DE
Witt Talmsge in the December Ladies
Home journal. The tendency may
skip a generation or two. but it is sure
to come out, as IN a little child you
sometimes see a similarity to great
grandfather whose picture hangs on the
wall. That the physical and mental
aud moral qualities are Unbeatable is
patent to any one who keeps bis eyes
open. The similarity is Sd striking
sometimes IS to be amusing. Great
families, regal or literary. are apt to
hsve the characteristics all down
through the generations. and what is
more perceptible IN such families may
be seen on smaller scale in all fami-
lies. A thousand years have no power
to obliterate the difference. The large
lip of the House of Austria is seen in
all the descendants, and is called the
Hapsburg lip The House of Stuart
always means in all generations cruelty
and bigotry and sensuality. Witness
Queen of Scots. Witness Charles

James III. and oil the Others of that
Imperial line.
Scotch blood means persistence.
Dutch blood means cleanliness and
good breeding. English blood means
reverence for the ancient Welsh blood
means religiositv. Danish blood means
fondness for the sea Indian blood

blood means feryidity Roman bood

The Jewish faculty for accumulation
you may trace c;oar back to Abraham,
OF whom the Bible says. ''He was rich
