Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-08-05

of the Ohio Valley Electric rail-
road company, held yesterday at
the office of V. B. Archer in Park
ersburg, it was decided by the
company to build the first section
of the proposed road at once. The
section will be five miles in length,
and work will be started in this
city and at Friendly as soon as
material can be placed on the
ground.
P. II. Anderson of Friendly,
was in the city last evening and
Informed Review representative
that there was not the least doubt
in the world but that the road
would be built between this city
and Friendly within the next few
months. Mr.. Anderson is interest
ed in the proposed enterprise, be-
ing one of the directors. He was
present at the meeting yesterday,
and among other business trans
acted was the organization OF a
construction company and the
APPLICATION for a charter for said
company. Four thousand dollars
was also subscribed for the pur-
pose of paying for the right-of-
way between this city and Friend
ly. A meeting of the directors OF
the road is called for next We'd
nesday at Parkersburg, for the
purpose of completing the organl-
cation of the construction COM
pany. V. B. Archer is president,
C. L. Williams superintendent and
R. j. A. Foreman secretary. These
gentlemen all reside at Parkers-
burg, and are men of wealth and
energy, and just the sort to insure
success to the enterprise OF which
they are the principal projectors.
Mr.. Williams has had many years
experience in the railroad bus
mess from the construction OF .
road to the operating of the same,
and is today one of the most prac-
tical men in the country.
The construction of the line
from Sistersville to Friendly alone
means the expenditure of $4,000.
1t will take that much, or perhaps
more, to extend it on to Bens Run.
That money will be circulated all
over the western portion OF the
county. 1t will be spent for board
ing. for labor, for timber, for haul
ing, and will make market for
anything and everything the far
mer has for sale. That much add
ed to the wealth of our county
and placed in distribution in one
short season by one enterprise
means much to the people of the
county. And we can not see how
any citizen of the county can fail
to ascertain in it some advantage
to himself.
Millions of wealth have been ac-
cumulated by those whose only
stock in trade was their ability to
see ahead of other people and dis
cover the development that would
follow the iron track, whether it
be steam or electric. Broad acres
seemingly isolated and compare
lively valueless have become
city lots shortly after the advent
of the locomotive; bare and bar
rem hills have given up countless

Julius H. and Junius n. Ben
ham. probably the oldest twins in
the United States, celebrated the
eighty-seventh anniversary of
their birth with a shore dinner
which they gave to several of
their friends at a summer resort
near Bridgeport, Conn. The par
ty was merry one, but not the
least active of those present were
the two hale old men, who look
alike, dress alike, speak alike, and
some of their friends say, think
alike.

Power and Speed

When it is understood that the
fastest vessels now sailing under
theBritish fiag-the Campania
and the Lucania-make only
about % knots, while the fastest
German vessels are operated at %
to 23t knots, the magnitude of the
undertaking of the Cunard com
pany to give their two contem.
plated vessels an average mini
mum speed of 24a knots will be
seen. Roughly speaking, the
power, and consequently the coal
consumption, of two steamships
OF about equal size varies with the
cube of the speed; that is, to driye
a vessel at double a given speed
would require eight times the
power, and to treble the speed
would require q times the power.

very large and the system ha,
been found to be great thing foI

ICE AT THE EQUATOR.
10 to Be Seen If One Win Risk the
Ascent of Mountains.

! 10 to Be Seen If One Win Risk the
Ascent of Mountains.
Itmust sometimes be almost in:
conceivable, even to many people
who have been to the equator, that
within the sweltering barbarism
of the tropics there are places
where there is any quantity of
snow and ice. Natural ice, more.
over and not the dirty apology for
it which is manufactured, and re-
garded now as a necessity by the
white people, and who are gradu-
ally crowding into the languid
warmth perennially filling the
equatorial portions of the earth.
Right ON the equator, says Pear
sons Magazine, there are both ice
and snow covering wide districts,
where, as in an English January
midnight, "the air bites shrewdly
and it is very cold" The law that
as we ascend the air gets cooler
and cooler about degree for
every hundred feet holds good in
the tropics as we'll as in the tenn
perate climates, and thus it is only
a question of the existence of suf-
ficiently high land anywhere to in,
sure the presence of both frost
and snow.
AS matter of fact, if we look al
a spherical map Of the earth, or
globe, the line where snow lies per
petually rises in great curve,
which begins at the sea level
within the arctic circles and
rises over the equator to height
of between $4,000 and 14,000 feet.
In the British Isles this line pass
es but few hundred feet above
the tops of the Scotch mountains,
and it strikes the Alps about 1902
IecI ABOVE the sea.
The Alps and the Caucasus, the
Pyrenees and the Himalayas and
the desolate arctic wastes are al
ways covered with ice and snow
above certain heights and above
certain iatitudes; but all in these
extra tropical regions the snow
and the ice shrink and expand as
the seasons wax and wane, the
snow Of the arctic extcndipg tie
winters over the wide areas in tie
temperate regions, while from the
high mountains the snow fields
invade the deep forests and The
cultivated areas in the valleys
every time the winter sets it.
The occasional oscillation of
the snow lines on the noun
tains and in the winter has
far-reaching effects upon the yege-
tation of temperate climates,
which affect the forests as we'll as
the flowers that grow under them,
for they are both covered up with
snow, or frozen out, for many
months IN the year.
1t is On aeeoHnt of this circum-
stance that we get, in the great
ranges north and south of the
equator, what are termed Alpine
f1orae, or plants, the welfare of
which depends upon their being
covered up in deep snow for half
the year, structure having become
especially adapted to it.
At first sight we should perhaps
expect that the snow and ice upon
the mountains in the tropics
should ossillate in the same way.
but as matter of fact it is per-
haps the most marked character
istie Of the sweltering tropics
that they continue to swelter,
without let or hindrance, through
out the year. the seasons being
simply marked by fits OF hot
dreughts and fits Of equally hot
rain.
