the smallest station the line has
good a chance as the big towns. That this

ment at various points on the road send
in recommendation as to awards to the
Chicago office, together with data. to eS-
tablish these recommendations. On the

proposed reductions for less than car
load rates which affect the greater part
of the jobbing traffic of the state; on

The ear consists of three parts: the ex-
ternal ear, the tympanum or middle ear,
and the labyrinth or internal ear.
BY the external ear we mean the 'fpin-
Ra'' or tissue that projects on each side
of the head to assist to gather sound
through which they are conducted to the
ear drum
The ear drum is the membranous parti-
ton that separates the external from the
middle ear.
The middle ear ''tympanum" starts
from the inner side of the ear drum and
extends to the internal ear The middle
ear contains three movable bones, the
.'malleus's or hammer, the ''incus'' or an
vii, the "stapeS'' or stirrup, which form
chain across the middle ear and connect
with the internal ear. The steustachian
tube leads from the pharynx or back
part of the throat upwards to the middle
ear. allowing air to enter and used sounds
to escapes from that cavity.
The internal ear or labyrinth consists
