Der OF the combination. Those that are
the most complete organize a selling bu-
reau whose business it Is to take all OF
the orders and to distribute them among

In the coal mining industry is found the
most successful combination in Germany,
and the iron industry is very similar. The
iron industry is organized into five large
combinations along different lines.
He says ne learned from manufacturers
in Germany that there had been considera-
BILE talk Of an international combination
along certain lines, and it seemed to be the
case that the French and Belgian pig iron
manufacturers do work more or less in
harmony with the German manufacturers
Lately a meeting was held with American,
English and German representatives to see
If an international combination along GER
tair lines OF iron manufacture mot of pig

suit is not known. A new sugar combina-
ton has been formed In Germany within a
comparatively short time, modelled after the
Austrian combination and it includes %
per cent of the sugar reffneries and raw
sugar manufacturers of Germany. new
combination for the manufacture OF refined
spirits has lately come into existence, and
comprises almost that entire industry.
The courts of Germany seem on the whole
not unfavorable to the combinations. Con-
tracts for combinations have been upheld
in court decisions in Germany.
England and Germany seem to be consid-
erably more favorable to the combinations
than are Austria and France. In Germany
however, these combinations, when they take
the form of corporations, are under very
rigid supervision and are required to fur
nish balance sheets annually showing the
state of their business. 1t seems to be con-
ceded generally that these combinations
have been made largely to prevent ruinous
competition, and that they have succeeded

bank to control the majority of the direct

Movement Less Rapid I'm France.
The movement toward combinations has
apparently developed less rapidly and less
completely in France than In any other of
the leading European countEies. There are,
however, quite a number of combinations
in France some of which are of a great
deal of Importance. The most frequently
mentioned are the sugar and the iron COM
binations. The law of France provides a
criminal clause in case of any one giving
out misleading statements for bringing
about the raising or lowering of prices diff
ferent from what it would be under free
competition. The movement toward combi-
nation, however, is increasing In France.

A Frog Barometer.


A singular kind OF water glass is common
in German middle-class and artisan homes.
This is the frog barometer. The frog is I'M

perforatsd paper. At the bottom of the Jar
are q few pebbles and sprig or two o.

During fine weather the inhabitant OF the
vessel so furnished remains in the watery
half OF his dwelling: when rain IL present

effect may seem to the foreigner, II Is quite
familiar to the German and Swiss eye, and
froggy's demonstrations. as a rule, are
found to be wonderfully correct.
Froggy indeed. is In the majority OF cases
a family pet, and many a fat fly Is caught
and poked into his domicile by friendly
hands. Under these circumstances froggy
skips up his ladder quite regardless OF the
climate conditions. His ridiculous carriage
of his "neckless'' head makes him a perfect
caricature of the German military carriage.
The scientific basis upon which the frog
barometer works Is very simple Approach

UNION VETERAN UNION
RAILROADS REDUCE RATES ONLY TO
ENCAMPMENT DELEGATES.
Sessions Begin Early in October
Sketch Of Organization and
It's Objects.

National officers of the Union Veteran
Cnion which Is to hold its annual encamp-
ment here October 2 to 5, inclusive, were
rather disappointed today over a letter sent
by the Trunk Line Association, which COM
prises all the important northern and mid
die western railway systems, to Quarter
master General F. F. Bogia. 1t had been
confidently expected that the association
would grant a reduced rate to all persons
visiting Washington on account Of the en-
campment and that such wise Hberality
would attract a substantial crowd to the
capital city. The reply Of the railroads to
the request for such rates contained in the
letter referred to was not satisfactory in
this regard.
The association agreed to give reduced
rates one and one-third first-ciass fares for
the round trip to delegates to the encamp
ment only. to be placed on sale September
% and good until Ocober o. The communi-
cation stated that delegates should pay full
fare coming to Washington and then, upon
presenting certificates from the quarter
master general that they were In actual at
tendance upon the sessions of the en-
campment, would be provided with return
tickets for one-third of the regular rate.
VIII Keep Crowds Away.
This action" said Gen. Robert ST. George
f5yrenforth, commander -in-chief Of the
union, will have effect upon the en-
campment in point of the attendance of
delegates and the transaction Of business,
but 1t will have, / am certain, considerable
effect upon Washington by preventing the
coming of big crowd Of money sDenders
who would take advantage of the reduced
railroad rates to visit Washington at such
beautiful time of the year Many COM
rades who are not delegates, and citizens OF
places where our organization has branch
es, as well as Grand Army men. who would
have been glad to come. will, | fear, find
themselves unable to do SO under the cir
cumstanceS.
General Dyrenforth said he expected be-
tween 700 and 500 delegates to the encamp-
delegates to the meeting of the Woman's
larry body.
The sessions Of the encampment will be
held in National Rifles Armory Hail, and
the national headquarters will be at the
Riggs House.
Organization and Purposes.

Veteran Union is an organization of battle

Sailors SuperstitiOns.

Sailors have superstition that the first
vessel to enter port with a certain kind Of
cargo foretells the death of some person
connected In some way with the vessel
The American ship Erskine M. Phelps ar

kind to arrive at Manila In an American

the yards of Arthur Sewall in Maine With

HIGHER POLES
For Electric Wires Will Probably B,
Insisted On by the Council.


Insisted On by the Council.
Electric light matters OF consid cradle
i'm portsnce will come up before the re-
gulsr sessionof the city council tonight.
The question to be discussed is as to
what action the board of aldermen
should take In regard to the height OF
the poles used by the electric light
company for stringing its wires.
The statement published q few days
ago in the herald just after the re-.
cent hard storm, when several vslu-
able shade trees were Injured by the
e electrical current coming into contact
with, and burning numerous branches,
has attracted the consideration Of the
city council, and the electric light
company will probably be called upon
to erect higher poles, az least in come
parts Of the city.
The short poles now In use bring the
wires directly through the branches of
the trees, and in q storm or hard wind
the insulation is rubbed of. and the
trees damaged to a considerable extent.
There Is also danger from crossed and
broken wires. This matter was brought
before the attention of the city council
on the 18th Of July, two months ago. 1t
is understood that the company pro-
missed at that time to erect higher
