Little Hope of Clearing the Cali
fOrnia Rate Situation.
The AtchisOn and the Union Pacific
Wider Apart Than Ever-The New
Bill of Lading Changed.

The California rate situation is in a worse
muddle than it has been at any time. and
there is no telling when it will improve.
The Western Passenger Association con-
vened again at Chicago, yesterday morn
Ing, but no representative of the Atchison
was present, and when Chairman Caldwell
went TO the office of that road he was in
formed that the AtchisOn did not propose TO
attend any more meetings. This decision
was brought about by telegram from the
Union Pacific which informed the Atchison,
as the latter road had been the first to re-
duce the rates. it must be the first to re-
store them The Union Pacific also made
1t a condition of restoring rates west of the
river that the Atchison should restore them
east of the river. AS the Union Pacific has
no line east of the river. the Atchison sim
ply took this demand as the corroborative
evidence of a combination between the
Union Pacific and the Northwestern, and
promptly refused to negotiate longer. Not
one of the lines has an idea of what will
develop next.

A Clearing Hnnse.

1t was but a few months ago that rail-
way presidents and managers were loud
in their denunciation of associations; there
were too many Of them, they were too eX-
pensive 10 the roads and took too much
valuable time TO attend them Now the
leaning is directly i'm the opposite The
latest association is TO be called the United
railway clearing house. the formation of
which the leading roads are now discuss
Ing. Circulars giving its aims and pur-
poses are being sent 10 the higher officials
OF the important roads. The object of the
organization is to enable railroads to make
a monthly or fortnightly clearance OF the
Interchange sale OF tickets as reported
from the general ticket agents department
of each OF the subscribing companies. 1t
IS proposed To adopt the same methods that
are used by the banks in making their
clearanCeS. The management would be
placed in charge OF officers elected by the
companies belonging TO the association. 1t
IS estimated that balances can be made a
month or two quicker by the clearing house
plan than by the present method. and there
would be a considerable saving I'm expense
for clerical service. The association seems
TO be still I'm embryo, and its success de-
ponds upon the cooperation OF a consider
able number of railroads

Model Railway shops.

The Big Four Railroad Company claims
to have the most modernly equipped shops
In the country. In the past year the COM
paRy has constructed at Bellefontaine o.,
veritable village for the exclusive purpose
Of -epair wcga for this system. The plant
comprises a seventeen-staH roundhouse,
erecting and machine shops, boiler shop,
blacksmith shop and tank and copper shop.
The roofing is of slate, and the lighting of
the plant is accomplished with the most
modern devices known. A steam blast APP
paratGs furnishes the heat for the machine,
boiler and blacksmith shops. The round
house. tank and copper shops are heated
by steam from boilers located in the annex
TO the roundhouse. The steel plate fan
used by the heating apparatus is driven
at night by an independent automatic en-
CINE, and>during working hours by belt
from a pulley on the main line shaft. The
heater uses either exhaust steam from the
Corliss engine or live steam from the boil
ers. Fire protection is assured by the lOca-
ton of fire hydrants and hose reels about
the plant. The erecting and machine shops
are under one roof, the building being look
go feet In one half Of the shop are the
tools i'm the other are twelve tracks with
n capacity of eleven engines. Each track
contains q pit with bottom raised in the
center, running the entire length of the
engine At intervals along the track are
drop pipes to supply the necessary air from
the blacksmith shop fan, for the purpose
of supplying a portable forge for heating
rivets, etc Each pit Is provided with hose
connections to water mains for filling boil
ers. At right angles 70 the pits runs
standard gauge track through the shops.
Heavy machine tools are located near this
track and suitable trucks carry material
TO and from machines. The shop is pro-
vided with the necessary columns and sup
ports for eccentric travelling crane of
sufficient capacity TO lift the heaviest To-
connective. Power 10 drive the machinery in
the shops Is derived from a 1S0-hOrse-pOwer
engine situated in the annex TO the ma
chine shops. The blacksmith shop is
equipped with twenty double FORCES, a 1000
pound steam hammer, a heavy bar iron
shear and steel pressure blower. The shop
IS kept free from smoke by a duplex steel
fan

Monkeys.

Monkeys, with some notable excep-
tions, are some degrees worse than
savage men in their treatment of the
sick. On the new Jumna Canal, at
Delhi, monkeys swarm in trees upon
the banks, and treat their sick COM
rades in true monkey fashion.
The colony by the canal being over
crowded, and as a consequence un-
healthy, did, and probably does still,
suffer from various unpleasant diseases.
When one monkey is SO obviously un-
well as to SO offend the feelings OF the
others, few of the larger monkeys
watch it, and taking favorable op..
portunity, knock it into the canal. II
it is not drowned at once, the SICK
monkey is pitched in again after 1t re-
gains the trees, and either drowned or
forced to keep aloof from the flock.
At the London Geological Gardens
the monkeys torment sick one with
out mercy, and unless it is at once re-
moved from the cage it has little chance
of recovery. The small monkeys bite
and pinch it the larger ones swing IL
around by the tail. When it dies as
many moneys as can find room SIT on

How Old Is the Human Race 4.

The fullest answer that science car
yet give to the three most interesting
questions perhaps ever asked in the
world are explained in an article in thi
Forum, by DR.. Daniel G. Brinton, tn,
ethnologist. These questions are
"When did the first man appeer?'
'By what process did he appear?" AMI
"Where did he appear?" Summing
up all that geologists and anthropolo
gists know he appeared certainly So.
900 years ago, and it may be as many
as 200, 900 years ago. The evidences Of
his existence which date back so, 00l
years are unmistakable. By what pro
cess he came into being science has nc
definite answer. If it refuse to accept
the doctrine of specific creation, il
must refuse also, for lack of complete
evidence, to accept the doctrine ol
gradual evolution-the old Darwinia !
doctrine DIR. Brinton thinks tn,
theory of evolution by leap is as
good as any other theory. According
to this, man sprung from some high
order of mammal, the great tree ape,
perhaps, by freak, just as men OF
genius are freaks, and as all the vege.
table and animal kingdom show freaks.
AS to where man first appeared it is
beyond doubt that his earliest home
was in southern Europe, or Asia, OF
North Africa. No earlier traces OF
him have been found than those found
in the area that is now England,
France and Spain.

Natural CuriOsities.

Curious resemblances in Nature
start with the cocoanut, in many re.
spects like the human skull and almost
facsimile of the monkeys. The
meat of the English walnut is almost a
copy of the human brain; plums and
black cherries like the human eye,
almonds like the human nose, and an
unopened oyster and shell perfect
likeness of the human ear. The shape
of mans body may be traced in tho
mammoth squash, the open hand Il
growing scrub willows and celery, the
human heart i'll German turnips and
egg plant, and dozens OF the mechan.
ical inventions of the present day to
patterns furnished by Nature. Thus,

HORSEPOWER OF q Whale.

An interesting study of the horse
power of the whale has been made by
the eminent anatomist, Sir William
Turner, of the University OF Edin-
burgh, Scotland, in conjunction with
John Henderson, the equally eminent
Glasgow shipbuilder. The size ana
dimensions of great whale stranded
several years ago on the shore at
Longriddy furnished the necessary data
for computation of the power neces-
sary to propel it at the rate of twelve
miles an hour. The whale measured
eighty feet in length, twenty feet
across the fanges of the tail, a 1d
weighed seventy -four tons, 1t was

English Law to Accidents.

The term accident would appear
to be easily defined, but the late Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn thought not,
and on several occasions insurance
companies have sought a definition in
the courts of law. 1t has been decid.
ed that a sunstroke is not an accident,
but that injury to the spine by lifting
a heavy weight is one. Even if physi.
cal ailments contribute to an accident
it is covered by the policy. The rela.
tives of man who, while bathing in
shallow water, wac seized with n fit
and suffocated sustained their claim, az
did those OF q man who, when similar.
ly seized, fell under train and was
killed. Again, person having fallen
and dislocated his shoulder was put to
bed and carefully nursed, but in less
than month he died of pneumonia
The connection between that comnlaint
and dislocatcd shoulder is not NJ
once visible, but on the ground that
the restlessness and susceptibility to
cold produced by tho accident lnd IN
the disease which killed him. the re,a.
tives were held to entitled to claim.
