NothinE Done at the Conference ON
the Diferential QuestiOn-Septen-
Der Business of Local Lines.

The conference at Chicago of the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines with the 500 line and
the Canadian Pacific regarding the east
and west-bound rates from st. Paul has
adjourned without accomplishing anything.
The differentiaI asked by the 500 line came
down to 81 from $3.50. but the others could
not see their way clear to granting any
differential. On the question of percent
ages the estimates of what should be al
lowed the 500 line were so far apart that
it was seen that no agreement could be
reached, and the meeting came to an end.
1t was decided, however, that the Chicago
st. Paul lines should in the near future
hold a meeting Of their own and see if they
cannot devise a schedule of straight rates
that will be satisfactory to the 500. This
meeting will be held in the course of the
next fortnight.
The meeting of the advisory committee
of the emigrant clearing house regarding
the high rates of commission paid by the
Southern Pacific road was to have been
held at Chicago yesterday, but was ad-
journed until to-day to await the arrival
of General Passenger Agent Lomax, of the
Union Pacific, who could not arrive in time
to attend the meeting to-day.
The presidents of the Western roads are
still working in a. half-hearted way on the
successor to the Western Freight Associa-
ton, but there is no chance of any result
IN the immediate future: Strong opposi-
ton to the pan proposed, and, in fact. to
all of the plans proposed, has come from
some road or other, and there seems to be
as many opinions as there are roads in
terested in the matter. 1t is likely that a
big meeting of the presidents will be called
IN a snort time and a more decided effort
made to arrange matters than has been
made this time. us

TIL. height of FACTORY ch,mn.,..

The notion that the greater the
height of a chimney for boiler plant
the greater will be its draught-produc-
ing power is responsible for the exist
ence of many chimneys of impossible
size. and at the same time, unneces-
sary expense. A very tall chimney,
well proportioned. and gracefully out
lined, may be striking architectural
adjunct to a factory, but 1t Is also one
that costs considerable money, without
doing any measurable amount of good.
Where chimneys are intended to carry
off noxious fumes from chemical works
there is. of course, some method in
providing unusual height, since the aim
in such a case is to insure as COM
plete as possible diffusion of the
vapors and prevent their mingling
with the air Of the lower strata; but
for boilers simply unusual height. as
stated, is rarely based upon good
reason.
AS matter of fact, the draught-pro-
ducing capacities Of chlmneys having
fiues Of the same size are in proportion
to the square roots of their heights, SO
that II one were to have double the
power. II 1t may be so called. Of the 9TH
er, 1t would have to be four times as
high and not merely twice as high, as
many would suppose. A height of $50
feet may be considered, on good au-
thority, as the maximum necessary in
any case for producing the requisite
draught, providing, Of course, that the
area Of the flue has been properly pro-
portioned. This latter should be made
to bear a pretty nearly direct ratio to
the combined areas of the boiler fiues
connecting with 1t. A chimney much
beyond $50 feet is generally suggestive
of misspent money.-Cassier's MA;a-
9iHa.

Then the majors sole advantage Is
in his imported jockey"
Il am sure of it,
The familiar scene at the track need
not be described. All the people OF
the county were there for a holiday and
many guests from other sections en-
lIvened the scene. Before the sad
ding bell rang for the call Of the race
for the cup. nearly every one had
risked something on the outcome.
Flash and Witch carrying the money,
for it was accepted that one of them
must win. The general CHANGED some
more on the stretch Of those dreams
and the major plunged because of his
sure thing" for Sam Gum had men
toned no change in the program.
After the preliminary canter 1t was
not the generals words: You will
win." or the exaggerated assurances
OF the stable boys. but the flaming
eyes of 10 that caused Fielder to set
his teeth like a man fighting for his
life.
They're on" went up the shout. and
there followed the breathless silence
OF suspense. For three fields the
horses ran punched. Flash and Witch
back. with their riders watching each
other like hawks. but as they neared
the fourth jump. an ugly ditch and
hedge. Sam imperceptibly pulled his
gray until hardly length ahead of
the favorites. the Witch coming to his
left and Flash to his right. Over went
the leaders. but Sans horse apparently
refused. and swerved to the left.
There was . time for Wimple to stop.
Following the crash. the crowd saw
the two horses and a man In con-
fused mass. Sam having gone from his
saddle to the other side of the hedge
with the ability OF circus rider. All
Fielder had to do now was to, guide
Flash over the course. winning ese
race. the cup and one Of the loveliest
of all the lovely women Of Kentucky.
Ever since the general has been an
implicit believer In dreams. though
he scouts at everything else which has
a flavor Of the supernatural. He did
dream Of Flash and Fielder because
they were the chief objects OF his
thought. but he never knew that 10
heard him confiding the vision to his
old friend Col. Buckler that the dreams
she reported were all evolved from her
imagination in broad daylight and
that she had been instrumental in
having Tom. the rubber. make the
speech to Flash which was meant
solely for the ears Of her owner.
