The joint traffic agreement for pre-
venting rate cutting between east and
west having been upset by the federal
courts, the railroads were bound to find
some other way of accomplishing their
end, and the report Of a combination
between the three largest railroad in
.terests suggests that it may have been
found. OF course it is not officially de-
signated as a trust, but only combi-
nation between the Vanderbilt lines,
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore
and Ohio railroads. Between them they
hope to control all the trunk lines be-
tween Boston and Chicago. The Van
derbits and allied interests profess to
control all the New England lines save
the Boston and Albany, and to be able
soon to take that in" The area of
the central states is represented to have
been parceled out among the Wander
bilt, B. and o. and Pennsylvania, and
the process of absorbing branch lines
seems to be going on with something
like regularity, but the reported plan
of management seems rather cloudy.
A denial of the entire scheme may be
expected, especially from the Boston
and Albany interests, though the
steady rise of that company's stock
convinced the public long ago that
something is in the wind" The states
interest in, or rather option on, the pro-
perty has Away been regarded as a
disturbing feature in the problem of the
future of the Albany road, but this
might not be an insuperable obstacle to
a sale if a customer could be found
that is willing to pay the price likely
to be demanded for the stock.

two Wears of the established church are
on trial in England for making use of
incense and lights in the service. The

the archbishops of Canterbury and

no binding force in law, it is expected

Interesting Discussion of the Subject at
Natural History Rooms.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Sarah
Averill spoke very interestingly to a
large audience at the Natural History
museum, on Gross fertilization" sup
Elementary to lecture last week on
the same topic. The pollen and nectar
were first spoken of, and the means
adopted by plants to protect them from
the depredations of insects that would
not be likely to help in pollination. The
value of the visits to fruit-bearing
blossoms of insects which help in cross
pollination, was shown, and results of
experiments with plants artificially pro-
tected, were given, showing that those
s-fertflized were much more fruit
full than those self-fertilized. Then
followed description, by means of
many flowers and charts, Of the vari-
Gus ways by which f-pollination is
prevented, and CROSSE ollination effect
ed by means of insects.

LOWELL REDUCED.

Few incidents Of a commercial nature
in recent years have so startled bust
ness circles as the announcement OF
the remarkable reduction in the price
of the 1899 Lowell Diamond bicycle.
This wheel achieved worldwide fame
by it's own merits At the original
price a Lowell Diamond was regarded
as very high class investment, and
it is not to be wondered at that bicycle
circles should have been astonished
when it was offered at about one-half
the price which has hitherto been
asked for it.
There was a tendency to explain it by
the statement that it was not so good
a wheel" The Lowell Arms Company,
however, guarantees that the wheel at
half price is, and will continue to be
exactly as good as the wheel which has
made the firm famous.
The Lowell Arms Company has its
own factories, its bicycle designs are
furnished by its own superintendent, it
buys raw material in large quantities,
it makes the most Of science and skill,
and it is supported by the public-that
is the secret of the whole matter
