year The fact that such complaints
multiply is highly significant Yet the
authority Of The commission in respect
to these matters has not been en-
larged in the least by the amendment
in question.
One of the most significant things
in railway operations for the past
three years has been the marked and
general advance in rates. Such in
crease applies in almost all sections
Of the country, and to many of the
most important kinds Of traffic
These increases are general and
they amount in the aggregate to an
enormous sum. The effort Of these
advances has been to correspondingly
increase the tax laid upon the gener-
al body Of producers and consumers
/ in this country for the benefit of the
owners of railway property. These
advances have been usually, If not al.
ways, the result of concerted action
/ by the carriers. 1t is idle to say that
where such a condition exists there
has not been an understanding he
tween the carriers. The theory Of our
law has been that competition between
different carriers would prevent un-
reasonable advances and secure rea-
sonable rates
Without expressing an opinion as
to whether the action of these car
riers has amounted to violation of law,
the commission desires to point out
clearly and emphatically the fact that
such concert OF action does not pre-
vail as practically eliminates all COM
petition in the tariff rate. The re-
quirement of the law that carriers
shall compete affords no protection
to the public. While railway manag-
ers insist that these advances have
been justified by increased cost of
operation, the commission says that
the great Increase in the amount Of
traffic, together with many economies
in operation, has enabled railroads,
as a matter Of faci, to handle it cheap
er in proportion
The commission sees no assurances
Iol a decline in rates in the future.
The commission refers again to the
evils resulting from excessive pay
ments by railroad companies for the
use of private ears. particularly those
owned and controlled by shippers. and
recommends that the payment Of car
mileage for their use be regulated.
The commission calls attention to
the Importance of a trustworthy yalu-
alton Of railroad property, ana rec
ommends that congress take this mat
ter under advisement.
For the year ending June 80, 1908.
.S21 passengers and 3.2S3 employees
were killed in railroad accidents, and
6,97s passengers and S9,OO4 employees
injured.
The appalling loss Of life and prop
erty in collisions is noted and the COM
mission urges the desirabillty of the
introduction OF the block system.
The gross earnings OF railways for
the year ending June 80. 1903. were
81 $50 15O,659. The gross earnings
for the previous year were sl.726i-
sSo.267.

some abnormally large ones. He picked
out one and measured it. The she'll

FIRST BOOK OF LAWS.
Statutes Drawn Up by King of Baby
lon Five Centuries Before
Laws OF Moses.

The well-known assyriologist. DR..
Hugo Winckler, says the London Ex-
press, has published an account of
the legation promulgated by King
Amraphel of Babylon, which, so far
as is known at present, was the first
book of laws ever given to the world.
King Amraphel lived 2,250 years B..
c., and is mentioned in the bible as a
contemporary Of Abraham, so that
his statutes were drawn up fully five
centuries before the laws of Moses.
They number 2s2, and contain the
following:
"If woman who sells beverages
gives bad value for the money paid
her, she shall be thrown into water.
IF wife be spendthdift, or if
she otherwise neglects her duties,
her husband may put her away with
out compensation; but if man put
away his wife for no other reason
than that she has no children, he
shall return her whole dowry.
"If betrothal be rescinded. the
man shall pay the woman compensa-
tion.
"a widow with grown-up children
may not marry again without permis-
sion from judge"

Now anyone who has looked at the
skeleton of snake-and it is really q
very beautiful object-will have been
struck by the great number of ribs,
which may be as many as 1,050 pairs.
In these lies the secret of the ability
of the serpent to do some of these
wonderful things. The lower end of
each rib is connected with one of the
broad scales that run along the under
side of the snake, and when a rib is
twisted slowly backward, it pushes ON
the scale, the edge of the scale
catches on the ground or whatever
object his snakeship may be resting
on, and the body of the snake is
pushed just little bit forward. OF
course, each rib moves the body but a
mere trifle; but where the ribs are
so many, and they are moved one
after another, the result is that the
snake moves slowly but steadily
ahead.-St. Nicholas.

the public servants are reasonably re-
warded for their services. The teach
er who instructs the children of the
people receives a sum that barely
sustains life comfortably, while the
janitor of the building is paid nearly
twice the salary for about two OF
three hours labor day. The moon

Evidently Mayor Seaman means
business in dealing with the Board OF
Education muddle. For the first time
in many years the teachers in the
public schools were, on Friday, forced
to go without their salary when pay
dav arrived. Such a condition of
affairs is disgrace to Perth Amboy
and the Mayor has taken the right
course in:demanding that the whole
board be dismissed.
Perth Amboy is justly proud of her
school system. The teachers do not
get as much, pay as in some other
cities, perhaps, but even that matter
will be remedied at the first oppor-
tunity. Five school houses have been
built within the past fifteen years and
another is now being erected. This
has taken about all the city could
afford in the line of education, but
the money thus spent has not been
begrudged. The citizens look with
pride upon what they have accom-
plished.
To great majority of the taxpay-
ers, it makes no difference whether
the Democrats or Republicans control
as long as tAsa work is done properly.
!. The Board6nf Education Is elected to
take charge of these matters and the
public wants no child's play. The
board is supposed to elect president
at their first meeting and local patriot
ism should have overcome all political
feeling so that one could be chosen.
Failure to select one means that the
board is failure and the Mayor has
taken the right course in asking the
State Superintendent to dismiss the
members that their successors may be
appointed.
The one thing to be regretted is that
the teachers have been drawn into the
matter and made to suffer-. Teachers
salaries is subject which Perth Am
boy does not like to discuss. The
teachers..get little enough money now
without Withholding it altogether.
It is to be hoped that the State
Superintendent will respond promptly
and will do his duty with all fear.

PEANUT-EATERS IN CARS.
Would Like to See Put Down
and Out.

"If l could have my way about it,
said sensitive citizen, according to the
New York Sun, 81 would have law
passed forbidding the eating of pea
nuts in elevated OF surface cars, and re-
quiring the guards or conductors to
eject from the cars any person so Of
Tending.
Men, strange as it may seem, not
children, are the chief offenders in this
direction. You may see grown men
sitting in a car, and, regardless of their
fellow passengers, calmly eating pea
nuts and dropping the shells on the
floor.
TO many persons the odor of pea
nuts within a confined space, as in a
railroad car, is unpleasant, as the sight
of the litter of shells on the floor must
be to all. But the men peanut eaters
go right on eating, and so disposing of
the shells. Why, have seen district
messenger boy eating peanuts in car
do better than they in one way any
how. This boy put his empty shells
back into the paper bag from which he
had emptied the peanuts into his pock-
ct.
Il have seen men eat apples in an ele-
waited car and throw the core under
the seat. I have seen a man eat an or
ange in an elevaed car and not even
take the trouble to do that with the
orange peel, but just lay that down on
the vacant seat beside him. But such
men as those regard as fine gentlemen
as compared with the grown man who
eats peanuts in an elevated car and
drops the shells on the floor. Him re-
gard as
well, the peanut eater would have
firmly, even if gently, put off the car"

WHITE WATER IN THE OCEAN.
Singular Phenomenon witnessed at
Rare Intervals In the TrOp-
ical Regions.

Of the many sights witnessed in the
oceans of the globe, one of the most
curious and most weird is that de-
scribsd by sailors as ''the milky sea-"
ships being surrounded for several
hours by water that appears to be a
snowy whiteness. Compiled from ex-
periences recorded during the last 70
years, an interesting account of the
phenomenon is given on the North At
lantic and Mediterranean Pilot Chart.
The spectacle is restricted to the dark
ness of night and rare occasions, and.
while it is limited mainly 10 the warm
er waters of the tropical belt, it ap-
pears to be more common in the In
dian ocean than in the Atlantic and
Pacific. From the white water the
light is so strong that ordinary news
paper print can be read on board ship,
but the scene all around is of an awe
inspiring description. The horizon is
blotted out, sea and sky seem to be-
come one in sort of universal lumi-
nous fog, which, like London fog.
robs the observer of the sense of dis
tance and direction, the deck being lit
up with ghastly, shadowless light.
Last June off the west coast of South
America a bucket of the white water
emptied back into the sea resembled
molten lead. This curious sight has
interested scientific Investigators, Dar-
win among them; but while it is, no
doubt, related to the many phosphor-
escent displays common at sea, there
-is no difficult explanation forthcom-
ing of this particular manifestation or
of the singular atmospheric effects re-
sulting from it.

GETTING DRUNK ON BREAD.
Chemist Says 1t Can BE Done II One
Eats Enough of the Fresh
Article.

"You could get drunk on fresh bread
IL you eat enough Of 1t at one time" I"
said a chemist to a woman with Q white
ribbon in her buttonhole.
"I don't believe It," the woman an
swered, reports the Philadelphia Rec
ord
"And yet it is fact" the chemist
pursued. 1t used to be thought that
the alcohol which bread in it's ferment-
ing generated all passed out in the
baking, but Thomas Bolas, distin-
guished scientist, has proved that
bread, after it is ready for eating, still
contains alcohol. l myself analysed
the other day 12 loaves of fresh bread,
and found that they contained on the
average alcohol in the proportion Of
.514 per cent. When, therefore, you
have eaten 100 pounds of bread you
have consumed five ounces of alcohol.
That is quite as much alcohol as you
get in pint of whisky.
'You, madam, eat, fancy, about $50
pounds of bread year. That is $500
pounds in ten years. In those $500
pounds there are IT'S ounces of alcohol,
which is the same as II quarts of whis-
ky. Think of It'll Every ten years you
consume II quarts of whisky with your
bread!"
"I don't believe it," said the woman
with the white ribbon.

A conference of prominent labor
men will be called in the near future
to outline some plan of action on the
Legislatures disregard for their in
terests.
The feelings of prominent labor
men in New Jersey are voiced in the
following interviews:
President Cornelius Ford of the
New Jersey State Federation of Lab
or, says: "The action of the legisla-
ture in failing to take favorable ac-
tion on measures in the interest of
labor will not be forgotten. Repre-
sentatives from all sections of the
State iourneyed to Trenton, appeared
before the several committees to
whom the bills were referred and
requested that something be done to
correct existing evils.
Arguments were offered and stat
istics presented which showed con-
clusively the necessity for legislative
action in the interests of the children
of the State, and what was done
After passing the committee substi-
tute for assembly bills Nos. and SO
in the house, the bill went to the
senate and was referred to commit
tee of which Senator Shinn was the
chairman.
"All efforts to have tho committee
report the bill were unavailing and
instead of the original bill being re-
ported amendment to the present
law, increasing only the age limit
of boys from 10 to IA years was in
troduced and passed both houses.
The several provisions of the original
bill whereby the present laws could
be enforced by local authorities were
eliminated and the enforcement left
entirely to the State factory depart
ment.
