MEETINGS UNSUCCESSFUL.
No Arrangement Reached Concerning
Gulf Route Rates.


1t begins to look as if the reduced
rates put in by the Gulf lines and other
water routes would remain in effect,
and that the all-rail lines will either be
forced to meet the reduction or lose
the business from Atlantic seaboard
points. Since the reduction was made
representatives of the interested lines
have held meetings in st. Louis, Chi
cago. New York and again at st. Louis,
in the hope of effecting some kind of
settlement, but so far their efforts have
proved futile. The meeting held yester-
day in st. Louis was also unsuccss-
full. and now the matter will be passed
up to the presidents and financial heads
of the different lines to see what they
can do. If they can arrive at no agree
ment. then all that remains to be done
is for the all-rail lines to meet the
reduced rate or lose the business.

Juliet of Romance and Reality


A movement is on foot to restore
and renovate the tomb of Juliet in
Verona, Italy. It is proposed to make
the structure just twice as large as it
is at preset and to continue the small
arches whic4l are now only in the
front of the structure all along the
sides. 1t is not commonly known,
perhaps, that Romeo and Juliet are
not creatures of the brain of Shakes
peare, but they lived and loved and
died in Verona.
The home of this favorite of Shakes
peare's work is still standing in the
little town, and there may be seen the
famous balcony in which Juliet stood
when Romeo breathed his words of
love to her.
Verona is the capital of a province
in Upper Italy, which has nearly TO-
900 inhabitants. It is situated on
both banks Of the River Adige, which,
next to Venice, is the most important
and interesting town Of ancient Veni-
cia.
It is rather a remarkable fact that,
though students of the works of the
Bard of Avon have always known OF
the existence of this tomb, the infor-
nation does not seem TO have been
spread to the general public. Indeed,
it is probable that most people. while
wondering at the beauty Ct this love
story, have supposed it to lie a fanci-
,fat creation of the poets imagination.

The difficulty that may lie in a
matter apparently 50 simple is we'll
shown in n of Poe's stories. The
oblurate father of the maiden-evi-
IDENTIFY with the Greek calends in

occur in one week. To his consterna-
ton, and the JOY of the lovers, this
seemingly impossible event ipdubita-
bly, happens when two sea captains ap-
pear together upoL the sea who have
circumnavigated the globet in op-
posite directions. ii
AS matter of fact, ,ttsesbit of fc-
ton represents what is taking pace
every day in the year, and must con-
tinne to occur as long as our present
method Of reckoning time is retained.
And the reason for this is simple aud
familiar The civil day begins and
ends at midnight, but for convenience
OF explanation let us assume las is the
practice of astronomers that the day
begins at noon and ends at the fol-
lowing noon. It is clear that the in
terval of time between two successive
moons will be, for us, "a hours IA day
as measured by one complete rotation
OF the earth) only when we remain on
the same meridian. For if at noon on
the beginning of Monday we move,

sun again stands at noon, for us, only
90 hours will have elapsed since we
shall have accomplished one-24th of his
journey for him; that is, Tuesday will
begin, for u.s., one hour too soon.
Similarly, if we repeat this eastward
movement, Wednesday will begin two
hours too soon; and so on until, when
starting point is reached. We shall,
in count of days, be just "a hours
ahead in our reckoning. The result
will be that, instead of ending the
journey in "a days las We seem to do)
and On a Wednesday, we shall actually
complete it in % days and on Tues
day. On the other hand, if we move
westward, in this way, the reverse
viii happen; our days, as measured
from noon, will be 25 hours long, and
we shall actually complete the trip in
% days and on Thursday. For the
stay-at-home, and for travellers re-
turning thus from the east and rom
the west, there will, accordingly, if
no correction is made in the reckonings,
be for each day three distinct dates;
each perfectly correct by diary or log,
and each day of the week-not Sun
day simply-will be repeated thrice.
