The Interstate-commerce Commission is
preparing 10 make things warm for the
roads running east out of Chicago. IL has.
during the last ten days. issued forty sub
penas for shippers and men connected with
the freight departments of the Eastern
roads. They are to appear before the federal
grand jury on May 4. The inquiry which the
commission will make at that time will be
in connection with rebates and cut rates on
dressed beef and other packing house prod
ducts from the stock yards in Chicago.
Nearly every Eastern road is included in the
list. and among the men summoned are sew
eral of the large shippers. who will be called
on to tell what they know of rebates and cut
rates generally. No subpenas have been Is

provided that what is known as the half
sight should be taken as the normal

in drift. This is the method taught in our

the conditions.
In the new Krag-Jorgenson rifle the
notches in the rear sight have been placed
slightly to the left of the center of the

suit of two seasons practice, together
with many extra experiments, has shown

not so responsive to the pull on the trig-
ger. A man with good strong nerves can

consequence of these corrections every
shot aimed squarely at the center of the
target goes twelve or more inches to the
left of the bulls eye.

There was only a little girl asleep,
Who opened her eyes with a smile.

For he'd lost his every dollar,

Next to the horrors of the spectacle of
inhumanity, the foreign observer notes
the shocking contrast of the uninter-
rupted festivities at court. Nor can ne
help being disguised by the heartless
way in which the Moscow Journals
were made, evidently by government
order. to restrict their report of the
unparalleled event to a hundred words,
couched in the coolest language, with
out a syllable of sympathetic comm1ser-
alton.
The righteousness OF the condition of
Russia, in spite of the outward glitter
of pompous ceremonies, is thus brought
home to the slowest understanding. 1t
would be a fortunate day for a nation
whose peasantry is so degraded, and
whose educated classes are disinherlted
from all legislative representation, if
at last beginning were made with
home reforms in a parliamentary sense,

being necessarily used for new terri

There is a group of islands to the
south of New Zealand called the
Sisters, or Seven Sisters. which are re-
puted to be subject to a practically
constant rainfall. The same may be
said of the islands and mainland of
Terra del Fuego, saving for the differ
ence that the rain often takes the form
of sleet and snow. On a line running
around the world from four to eight or
nine degrees there are patches over
which rain seldom ceases to fall This
is called the zone of constant precipi-
tation,' but at the same time there are
several localities along it with very
little rainfall. Thus, for instance.
while the town of Panama. has a six
months dry season and a very fine
wet one, Colon, on the other side of the
isthmus, about thirty-seven miles
away, is deluged with rain during the
wet season.
