Is it the RaiIrO ad?

Complaint is heard that the railroads will
not supply cars for bituminous or soft COAL
the demand for which is increasing. Can it
be that the B. 81 o., now the vassal OF the
Pennsylvania, the former soft and the lat
ter hard coal road, is thus refusing to per.
NIT soft coal to replace anthracite at the bid
ding of it's master2 If there are grounds for
the charge that as few as onehalf the cars
required are furnished and that they are two
weeks on the way, when ordinarily they go
through in three or four days, an explana-
ton is due and it looks as though determ.
ination to aid the hard coal roads, virtually
the hard coal companies. in their present
strike troubles, is an explanation. If soft
coal shipments would relieve the pressure,
manufacturers would be disposed to blame
the hard coal operators for not having done
the same thing long ago. Further, soft coal
might permanently displace the hard at many
points and as the latter interest controls the
railroads that are today able to deliver btu
minous coal, naturally, they purpose to pre-
vent it, for the time is coming when the
Gould roads will put soft coal along the ell
tire North Atlantic coast, despite the power
of the hard coal roads.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has a heavy
soft coal tonnage, heavier than the anthra-
cite. and is making money by the advance in
price of that commodity.

We Go a-Fishing.

For the first time in three years, we went
a-fishing last Thursday.
We recall nothing novel in our experience,
for we worked hard all day, as usual and the
bass seemed glad to see US, giving US tie
slightest possible trouble and we reciprocal
ed by occasioning them no Inconvenience
worth mentioning. We are not an expert
fisherman. but few excel us in getting in be-
tween their "biting" days. Weawait report
that fish are biting. fix date, 60, and find
that, having surfeited themselves, they are
either dieting. or unwell and not able to be
about: then in day or two their digestive
apparatus gets into fine working order, they
go foraging aud tie other fellow gets big
string of them.
1t was day off, however, though we did
get but four bass and sunfish, we had fine
ride across the country, waded four or five
miles over Monocacy rocks, developed an ap-
petite like unto two edged sword, wrought
out job for our shoemaker, slept ten hours
without winking and awoke feeling so good
that there was not wickedness enough left
in us to instlgate fish-lie.

Harvest Machinery Combine.

A gigantic combine has been formed, with
a capital stock of $3.50, 100000 to mauufact-
ure harvesting machinery, composed of the
following firms:
The Mccormick Harvesting Machine Co.,
Deering Harvester Company, Plano Manu-
featuring Company, Warder, Bushnell g.
Glessner Company, and (Champion) Milwau-
kee Harvesting Company.
The company is capitalized upon an ex-
ceptionally conservative basis. OF its assets
$S0,000,000 are in cash working capital. The
company will require no financing and there
will be no offer of its stock TO the public, all
the cash required having been provided by
its stockholders"
After abiding to the advance in prices Of
raw material and the possible consequent ad.
vance in the price of harvesting machinery
unless economies in existing conditions OF
manufacture could be accomplished, the
statement continues;
"The manufacturers realize that their well
fare and interests Of the farmers are identi.
cal. An advance in the price Of agricultural
machinery would injure the farmers and re-
act upon the manufacturers. But on the
other hand, if existing conditions continued
an advance In prices would be inevitable. 1t
thus became necessary that either the prices
should be advanced or that substantial econ.
omles should be effected in the manufacture
and distribution of agricultural machinery"
Four important companies not included in
the consolidation are D. M. Osborne s. Co..
of Auburn, N. Y; The Johnston Harvester
Company, of Batavia, N. Y; The Walter A.
Wood Moving and Reaping Maching Com
pany, of Hoosic Falls, N. Y, and Adriance
Platt & Co., Of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

A Sensible Calendar.

Camille Flammarion, the eminent French
astronomer suggests new calendar, making
the year contain 80 weeks, or 1854 days. He
would have fete day not counted in any
month and every four years he would have
two such fete days. There would be four
quarters, each containing one month Of u
days and two of 80 days, the year beginning
with the vernal equinox March 21st) when
In reality 1t does begin.
BY this arrangement the same dates would
occur on the same day of the week and there
would be no change in calendars necessary.
To illustrate the advantage, our Inaugural
ton Day falls on the 4th of March; this at
times falls on Sunday, but under Flamma-
rion's plan it would recur on the same day
of the week; so would Christmas, July 4th'
your birthday and all like immovable festi-
val and holiday dates.
There is nothing rational in the present
time division: the year begins at no astro'
nomic or other epoch and the odd day over
fiitytwo weeks, the four different numbers
of days in the months and the mixed and
meaningless nomenclature Of The months
render Flammarlon's suggestion very pro-
per and sensible ono.
The odd fete days required TO keep the
seasons adjusted, or mere properly to make
up the real length of the year would become
World Holidays and would in no possible
way complicate time keeping.
With new calendar and the decimal sys
tenn established, calculations Of every char
acter would be simplifled and something like
system would be introduced.
