by the District Commissioners on account
Of the condition Of the municipal finances,

TO PREVENT WRECKS
FREIGHT AND PASSENGER OPERA
TIVES RECEIVE LETTERS
FROM OFFICIALS
HEART TO HEART TALKS
1t Is Thought That Extra Precau-
tiOns Will BE Taken as a Re-
suit of the COmmu-
nicatiOns.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-OwinS to the Sc
fies of disastrous wrecks which have
occurred within the last six months the
general superintendent of many of the
roads centering in Chicago are sending
a special circular letter to the employees
engaged in the operation of passenger
and freight trains.
The tenor of the circulars so far issued
is the same, and although the letters
icannot be considered as reprimands, they
are ''heart-to- heart talks, which will
undoubtedly result in extra precautions
i.oeing observed. In general the circulars
call attention to the wrecks occurring
recently, and suggest that in the major
ETY. Of cases an exercise of ordinary pre-
caution and strict attention to orders
and duty would have avoided the dis
asters.
1t is stated that the management of
the road desires extraordinary care to
be taken for the safety of trains and
suggests that every man who does his
duty faithfully will be kept in mind by
the management. Attention is called to
the necessity of a proper understanding
of train orders, absolute verify of the
orders, and the harmonious cooperation
of every employee to the end that safety
may always be attained in the opertion
of trains.

with Maj. Cabrera and a renegade priest
named Castillo, gave themselves up TN
conditionally Jan. 10 to Gen. Bell, who is
conducting the campaign against the in
surgents in Batangas provincel occurred
today at Taal. The insurgents created a
surprise by bringing in sixty more lilies
than the authorities thought Marisigan
could command in the district of Taal,
Which he controlled. The Filipinos who

major, FIVE captains and twelve lieuten-
ants They gave up 2l9 rifles and one

Col. Marisigan says ne can prevail on
many more men to surrender during the
next few days and also obtain possession
of number of additional rifles. Gen.
Bell says the surrender pacifies, for the
time being, all the eastern part of
Batangas.

SHIPMENTS WE'RE HEAVIER.
Burlington Handles Major Portion
of Business Last Week.


East-bound freight shipments last week
were an Improvement on those for the
week previous. This was due principally
TO improved weather conditions.
Grain shipments from Chicago to the
East by the ten east-bound roads were
2,514,000 bushels, an increase of $4,000
bushels for the week. but a decrease of
S4S,0 bushels from last year. 1t was
largely the cleaning up of old business.
and there is little new offered. Shippers
are not yet prepared or willing to pay
the advanced rates, and they hold the
grain in anticipation of another break in
the rates before long.
Flour shipments were the smallest in
over a month, amounting to 1884 bar
rels, a decrease of 62, 1874 barrels from the
last year. Shipments of provisions were
"a 769 tons, a decrease of 1926 tons from
the previous week, and 6,165 tons from
last year.
Western roads are not doing nearly So
large business as they did few weeks
ago, and in consequence they are getting
into better condition as regards cars and
motive power. the Burlington only claim
ing to be still short of cars. The grain
traffic of these roads last week was the
smallest in over nine years for the sec
Ond week of January, and 10000 bushels
less than previous week, receipts at Chi
cage being 2, $4,000 bushels. Wheat re-
ceipts were about so per cent those of
corn, while in previous years arrivals IF
corn have been about to 1 as compared
with wheat. The loss from last year was
3,44S,G00 bushels. There was also loss of
2,603, 600 bushels from 1900, and 3 6S5, 600
bushels from 1899. The total corn re-
ceipts last week were only 100000 bushels.

AN OPTICAL ILLUSION.

A method of securing an illusion of
plnocular vision wholly without instru-
mental aid occurred to me recently
winch is interesting in connection with
the study of pseudoscopic vision. A lead
pencil IS held point up an inch or two in
front OF wire window screen, with a,
Sky background. If the eyes are con-
Eerged upon the pencil about the wire
sduze becomes somewhat blurred and
OF course, doubled. Inasmuch however
as the gauZe has a regular recurring
pattern two images can be united ana
llttIe effort enables one to accomm0-
G i,,1oe,o LOT Qisunct vision Of the united
images OF the mesh AS soon as accom-
modatiOn is secured the mesh becomes
perfectly sharp, and appears to lie near
IN the plane of the pencil point when
Sun sun appears single and fairly sharp. If,
now. the pencil is moved away from the
eyes, which are to be kept fixed on fhn
screen, the point passes through tne
mesh ana appears double and distinct
between the two images increasing until
the point touches the screen.
If now the pencil be removed. If wi11
be found that the sharp image of the
complned images of the gauZe persists
even though the eyes be moved nearer
to or further away from the screen
Move the eyes up to within SIX or eight
lhches OF the plane in which the screen
appears to lie and try to touch it with
the finger 1t is not there. The finger

ing, IN reality, a couple of inches further

ing illusion that I have ever seen. for
we apparently see something occupyfng
a perfectly definite position in space be.
lore our eyes, and yet if we attempt to
put our finger on it we find that there
is nothing there. It is best to begin by
holding the pencil an inch or less in
front of the screen. AS the eyes become
accustomed to the unusual accommoda-
tlon the distance can be increased.-Sci-

MAY ABOLISH PARTY RATES.

Western Passenger Association Sc
riOusIy Considering Such a Move.
CHICAGO, Jan. Alt is not unlikely
that the Western Passenger association
will decide to abolish party rates. At
the coming monthly meeting, to be held
Thursday, 4 committee appointed to con-
slider the question will report in favor
of doing SO for the purpose of leaving
the government no peg upon which to
hang a claim for military rates based up
on the party rates. The committee,
however, is in favor of retaining the
rates in effect, and will recommend a
system Of rebates for theatrical parties
and other organizations entitled to the
party rate.
1t is purpOsed to have such parties pay
the 1ull passenger tariff, with the under
standing that upon presentation of a
claim rebate amounting to the differ
ence between the regular and the party
rate viii be paid

such an evil to the railways that steps
must be taken to correct it. One is is
sued to every shipper of two car loads of
live stock. Return transportation is also
provided. The railroads give these passes
in consideration of being relieved from the
