A citizen remarked to the Register

here most every day. 1t is not an I'M
usual thing to see teams treated I'M
mercifully on the grade leading from
the ferry landing when they are COM
relled to move loads that are even out
of reason on good level road. On
Tuesday a team belonging to one of the
wholesale houses of Wheeling stalled
on the grade and was abused by the
driver until the by-standers would toll
crate it no longer and forced the man
to desist There is standing COM
plant against persons who do not
make calculations for the heavy grade
on that highway and an enforcement
of the law intended for the protection OK
dumb brutes would have salutary eff
feet.

RAPID TRANSIT.
Its Effect Upon Suburban Property in the
District of Columbia,


Special Correspondence of the STANDARD.
At no time in the history of WASH
ington, which since the Inauguration
OF the improvements instituted by
Gov. Sheppard has been marked by
steady and healthy improvement in
real estate values, has there been so
bright future for the owners of sub
urban property lying within the
boundaries of the District of Colum-
bia, as at the present time. While
this is due to several causes, among
which an essential factor is doubtless
the liberality of Congress in making
appropriations amounting in the ag-
gregate for the present year to about
sc, 600, 900 for District Improvements,
the Improvements which have been
instituted by the syndicate that has
recently gained control of the street
railways have probably done more
than anything else to bring about
present conditions. The street rail-
ways are being reconstructed and new
lines established. The roads are being
equipped with modern rapid transit.
The obsolete overhead trolley has
been dispensed with, and uniform
electric underground system has been
adopted. The lines have been ex-
tended in all directions to the boun-
daries of the District, and as far as
street railways are concerned the dis
tinction between the portions of the
District formerly known as the city
and the country have been abolished.
A system of free transfers between the
various lines has been established, and
it is now possible for person to go
from one part of the District to
another upon paym ent of single s.
cent fare. with as great facility and in
little more time than was heretofo re
required in going short distances
within the city limits. All of the
former suburban lines" have become
merged in the general system, thus
bringing remote sections near to the
center of the city in point of time,
and the advantages which are already
apparent in the development of real
estate in the suburbs are difficult to
estimate. The demand for suburban
property is increasing to an extent
that renders it practically certain that
no more promising investment for
capital is offered anywhere than in
suburban property lying within the
boundaries of the District of Colum-
bia.
Probably never before was so in.
viting an opportunity offered for the
profitable investment OF large amounts
of capital in the forming of commune
ties where homes can be procured
within the means of people of moder-
ate incomes, and where houses will he

A Shooting Star.

Sir Robert Ball, who is the world 8
greatest living astronomer, told a
London audience recently some inter
esting facts about meteorites and
shooting stars. In describing the
origin of meteorites he said that mil
lions Of years ago, when the earth was
an infant at play and volcanoes were
giants, the meteors we're thrown up

OF the earth's discarded rocks returned
at once, but those which were flung
upward at a rate greater than seven
miles second passed beyond the
earth's gravitating influence and
sought paths of their own, no one
could tell whittier.
And then, after millions of years
they once more came within the reach
OF the world, and old Mother Earth
resumed her sway, took back the
rocks to her bosom and the astrOnO'

Sir Robert asked his hearers to
imagine wrapping OF some hundreds
of miles of air round the earth's sur.
face. Now just in the same way that
gimlet, boring its way into wood
becomes warm, so that bullet going
20 miles minute would become ex.
