ance with supply and demand. and
the cost of operation. We can now
charge anything we like, yet we do
not charge but 81 for the business
and $3.50 for the residence tele-
phones. The new ordinance simply
means that never within twenty
years may the company have a high
er rate than 81 and $3.50 respectful
ly. except for every extra thousand
subscribers. II would certainly not
be right to say that no matter what
the conditions or cost of operation
within the next twenty years, that
the company would have to furnish
service at lower rates than these. We
expect at all times To make the ser
vice as cheap as we can to get and
hold business. If we wanted to raise
rates and keep them up. we could
now make them anything we desire.
for there is no limit to what we may
charge. A great many people seem
TO think that the ordinance, in sim
ply limiting the rate that we may
charge within the next twenty years.
means that It is legal rate they viii
hereafter have to pay for their
phones, when as matter of fact,
we must always have fair, reason
able rate To hold business, for no
one is compelled to keep in a tele-
phone il the rate is not satisfactory.
The East Tennessee company last
year paid out in Paducah for labor,
which includes the service in ahe To-
cal exchange, $4,000. This year It's
expenses have increased at a ratio
of fifty per cent over the gross re-
ceipts. Manager Joynes says he can
at any time show anyone that the
company lost money in Paducah last
year.
There has been some criticism of
the Commercial club for taking this
matter up "The club, as | under

here to invest, instead of attacking il

pie will II be To which to call the at
tention to capital seeking invest
ment, when the club Is pointed out
as an institution that seeks to handi-
cap and keep Il from realizing any-
thing on It's investment? Such mat

the council"
The members Of the Commercial
club deny this. Some of them may
have been misled, but they are now
better understanding the situation.

Hummel today. 'is to have the al

EARLY ELECTRIC ROADS.

Line In Baltimore Perhaps Our First
Regularly Operated One.
Daft began work on the Hamp-
den .brHnch of the Baltimore Union
passenger Railway company in Ap-
gust, 1885, at first with two and a
year later with two more dummies,
which pulled regular street cars. A
central and the running rails were
used for the normal operation, but
at crossings an overhead conductor
was installed, and connection was
made with it by a transversely hing
ed arm carried on the car and press
ed upward against it by a spring.
The driving was by a pinion operat-
ing on an internal gear on one of
the aXles.
This was, l think, the first regu-
larly operated electric road in this
country, and the conditions under
which the contract was taken, in
Guiding waiting a year for payment
conditioned on satisfactory opera
tion-and finally, even on these on
erous terms, secured only in the face
of an opinion by a well known sci
enlist that no one but "a knave or
foor wouiu undertake IU--were any
thing but encouraging. Fortunate
ly for Daft, however, T. G. Robbins,
the general manager Of the railroad
company, was strong in the faith.
This equipment was followed by
more ambitious one-that of a
section of the Ninth Avenue Elevat-
ed railroad for a distance of two
miles, where a series of experiments
was carried on during the latter part
Of the year 1885 with a locomotive
called the Benjamin Franklin. The
motor was mounted on a platform
piVoted at one end, and motion was
communicated from the armature to
the driving wheel through grooved
friction gears held in close contact
partly by the weight of the machine
and partly by an adjustable screw
device. This locomotive, pulling a
train of cars, made several trips.
But the experiments were soon sus-
pended, and they were not re-
sumed until three years later, when
during several weeks a rebuilt and
Benjamin Franklin was
frequently run between the steam
trains on the section between Four
tenth and Fiftieth streets, attaining
at times speed of twenty-five miles
an hour, and on one occasion pulling
an eight car train up the maximum
grade of nearly 2 per cent at seven
mile rate.-Century.

The Deadly Cobra.

Most deadly of all snakes is the
cobra, or cobra de capello. 1t in
habits India and Ceylon, Burma, the
Andamans, southern China, Indo-
China and the Malay peninsula and
archipelago. To the west it ranges
to Afghanistan, northeast Persia
and south Turkestan as far as the
east coast of the Caspian sea. Cobras
are most active at night. They feed
on small animals, BIRDS eggs, frogs,
fish and insects. They attack hen
roosts and swallow the eggs whole.
They drink a great deal of water, al
though they can live for weeks,
even months, in captivity without
touching food or water. As rule,
they are not aggressive, and unless
interfered with or irritated they
crawl along the ground with neck
undated, looking like some HARM
less snake.
