Fixina Railroad Rates,

Making railroad rates is like playing
a game of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for it's effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing of freight rates may mean the ruin
Of city, of great manufacturing in
terest, Of an agricultural community.
Railroads strive to build up all these
SO that each may have an equal chance
in the sharp competition of business.
So sensitive to this rivalry are the
railroads that in order to build up bus
mess along their lines they frequently
allow the shipper to practically dictate
rates. Rate making has been matter
of development; of mutual concessions
for mutual benefit. That is why the
railroads of the United States have
voluntarily made freight rates so much
lower in this country than they are
on the government owned and operated
railways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportation
rates in the world.

WORDS AND THEIR USES.
About 5000 Only Are Used by Edu.
Gated People.

Gated People.
No one can say how many words
there are in the English language, be-
cause there are SO many words Of
DOUBTFUL standing, says the Springfield
Republican The Century dictionary
contains about 225,OOO words. and the
new edition of the Standard dictionary
lays claim to over 100000 OF these
many are obsolete, and many others
are rarely used. Science has added
vast vocabulary Of polysyllables that
are scientific formula rather than real
words. They have no place in general
literature. The ordinary English vo-
cabulary may be said to contain from
10000 to $4,000 words, the latter esti-
mate being large. No single writer of
literature has used SO many as the
lower number named.
Shakespeare, whose vocabulary 10
larger than that Of any other English
poet, unless 1t be Browning, used about
$1,000 words, while Milton, whose
range was narrower. employed only
about half that number. The vocabu.
larry of the illiterate has been set as
low as 80 words. but this must be ex.
ceptional. It's more likely that the
ordinary workingman" uses from g.
600 to 5000 words, while, of course,
he is familiar with several thousand
more, which he recognizes in print but
does not himself use. The common
estimate of the average vocabulary
Of educated people is from 5000 to
5000, but in this case the number of
words which are not used is enormous
ly increased. A well-read college grad
uate should be familiar with perhaps
100000 words, while in the course of
a year he might not use 5000 of them
in his writing or conversation. Short
hand reporters find about $500 word
signs and contra ctions ample for rep.
resenting the words which are com.
monty used in public speaking.

CANADA ADOPTS SIGNAL.
Submarine Bells Will Be Installed in
the st. Lawrence River.

Submarine Bells Will Be Installed in
the st. Lawrence River.
The Canadian government. by an
order adopted In council at Ottawa,
will enter into an agreement with a
submarine signal company of Boston
for the installat ton Of thirty bells in
the St. Lawrence River and of the
coast Of the maritime provinces. OF
the thirty stations to be established,
twenty-six are to be operated from the
shore and four from lightships, says
the Boston Transcript
1t Is expected that all ships making
Canadian ports will be equipped with
the telephone apparatus for picking
up the sounds of the bells. Already
provisional arrangements have been
made with the principal steamship
companies of the Dominion for the In
stallation of the apparatus.
Although Canada has taken prece-
dence of the United States in the for
NAL adoption Of the signal system as
an aid to navigation, it Is believed to
be only a question Of short time
when the United States government
will adopt the system. 1t has been
Investigated thoroughly by the navy
department and by the lighthouse
board, and all Of the officials who OBJ.
served the working Of the system unite
in recommending it as the most I'M
portant invention, for the safety OF
ships at sea, that has yet been discov-
cred.
The system has been installed ex-
peimentally for some months at Bos-
ton lightship. Pollock Rip Shoals light
ship and Vineyard Sound llghtship,
and scores Of government officials and
ship owners and masters Of the United
States and Canada have made the trip
from New York to Boston on the
ships of the Metropolitan line, which
are equipped with the receiving ap-
paratus, to test the working Of the
system. These tests have been uni
fOrmly satisfactory.
The telephone wires on the ships
never fail to pick up the sounds Of
the bells at distances ranging from
four to ten miles. AS there is no diff
hculty in locating the direction from
which the sounds come, the mariner.
by the use of the signal system, is en-
abled to know his position, when near
a signal station, II he has wandered
from his course for any reason, or If
he is picking his way through a dan.
Yerous passage in fog or storm.
Many Of the recent accidents at sea
would have been avoided had the sub
marine signal service been in use. If
these bells had been on the lightship
near where the City Of Rockland went
on the rocks, that accident would not
have happened.

ON MENTAL RELATIONS
Rev. j. S. Thomson at Dobinson
Auditorium

Rev. J. S. Thomson, pastor of the
Independent Church of Christ, in Dob
inson auditorium, preached a sermon
on Mental Relatives"
We see mental relatives in soldiers,
teachers, lawyers, financiers, botanists.
Blood relations are often mental rel
atives. In some families the men are
ministers, in others poets and in 9TH
ers farmers. Again, members of one
family find their real relatives in 9TH
er families. David and Jonathan were
dear friends, but David's brothers did
not like him. All the members of some
families attend different churches.
Differences sometimes makes lasting
friendships. DR.. johnson and his biog
rapher were very different, but yet
they were true friends. Socrates and
Plato were good friends notwithstand-
ing their differences of nature and
character. Roosevelt and Hay fit into
one another, because they are quite
different The home to be complete
needs persons of different tempera-
ments, tastes and aims. Jesus refused
to let the man whom he had healed
stay with him and his disciples. He
sent him home to declare Gods mercy
and grace, and the man had great sue
cess. The disciples and this man could
not have agreed. Paul disagreed with
Peter and Barnabas, but Timothy was
his "own son." Moody and Sankey
worked we'll together with their differ
ent talents; and Davy and Faraday
helped each other, the one being
complement of the other. Christ was
deserted when his doctrine appeared
too hard for his hearers. He said they
were not of his sheep, and that they
who were of the truth would hear his
voice. He also said that whatsoever
shall do the will of my Father, who is
in heaven the same is my brother and
sister and mother" The servants of
God are Christs relatives. Those whom
plucked out of his hand because they
had become his everlasting relatives.
Every day we are making friends or
enemies. We are investing our lives
in the lives of others some way We
cannot help it; for no man liveth to
himself nor dieth to himself. God
gives us people whom it is our duty to
put into Gods hand consciously.
'Those that thou gavest me have
kept, and none of them is lost. but the
son of perdition."

PAvEs WAY FOR REVIVAL
Rev. C. A. Smither breaches on
"Jesus' First Disciples"

In harmony with the evangelistic

First Christian church upon Jesus
First Disciples" He said In part;
"In evangelistic work. as elsewhere.
we may sit with great profit at the
feet of the Master. AS i'm other things,
so in winning disciples he was the
worlds ideal, AS planned by Christ his
church's perpetuity in the world was
dependent upon his disciples. Limited
as he was in his physical life, the pro-
pagation of his gospel in the world
rested upon his followers. They must
therefore be won to himself and quail
fed for the great task soon to be COM
mitted to their hands. In calling them
to so great work. that of cooperation
with himself In the worlds redemption,
he bestowed signal honor upon his dis
eiples and upon all subsequent CO.
workers in his kingdom.

SHOULD KEEP ON SUNNY SIDE
Chaplain KIdder Says Brightness Is
Necessary

keeping on the Sunny Side" was the
topic taken yesterday afternoon by
Chaplain A. w. Kidder of the strang-
ers' Friend society at the meeting in
Burbank hall. He said in part:
"Citizens Of this bright Southland
may congratulate themselves that they
inhabit the sunny side of the map.
IF what is called the fortune of men
could fall on the sunny side for all,
how the careworn faces Of men and
women that throng our streets would
brighten up and the shout Of mirth
would drown the creeking Of the
money-making machines. The mill of
commerce makes sunshine for some and
clouds for others. 1t is a regular rain
maker for many whose Ill success has
covered their faces with tears and be-
clouded half their lives.
How to keep on the sunny side is
the great question of today. The first
essential is to have faith in Cod The
man who loses faith in the heavenly
Father is a wreck even if he is still
floating on the sea of life. The ship
that has lost her rudder can never
reach her destination unless the rud-
der is replaced or friend supplies one.
Faith in God is the rudder Of the
soul and the man may steer on to the
sunny side who has faith in God.
"The next almost equally important
possession is to have faith in man.
This is often as difficult to retain as
the other, but the man who loses faith
in man can't keep on the sunny side,
he is sure to get under cloud. When
a man loses faith in his brother, he
deprecates himself.
1.-THE Strangers Friend society pro-
claims faith in God and faith in man
and earnestly seeks to live in the sun
shine and drive the shadows away from
the discouraged ones who come within
it's reach"
