journal Special Service
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 9.-In the current
issue Of the Railway World, Professor
s. J. Mclean, Canada's former special
commissioner for the department OF
railways and canals, presents an e :S
haustive exposition OF the DomlnloH
new railway rate law.
The law-barring, perhaps, some pro-
visions Of the English statutes-ls the
most drastic measure in existence. 1t
piyes to the commission, composed or
three members holding office for term
of ten years, the following general pow
ers: :,
First-Complete jurisdiction over rail
way location, railway construction, rail-,
way improvements, over the physical
conditions of railways and over their
equipment. " -,
Second-Complete control over rail
way operation, safety appliances rail-
way crossings.
Third-The authority to compel rail-
ways to obey the laws, general and sPe-
cial under which they operate, thereby
making the commission the general SUI
pervisor and enforcer Of railway laws.
- Authority Over Rates.
Fourth-Complete authority over the
actual rates, including the power to dis
allow tariffs, say what is a reasonable
and just rate and compel the: substitu-
ton at once of the commission s rate
for that of the railway.
Fifth-The commissions is constituted
the sole judge Of facts.
sSixth--The commission Is constituted
as court and is not amenable to the
courts.
. Seven-Practically the only appeal is
to the cabinet, which may over-rule the
commission, or an appeal to the supreme
court direct on question which the
commission deems a question of law, or
upon a question of jurisdiction. The
courts, hawever, do rot have the right
to over-rule the commission.
Eighth-The commission must pre-
vent pooling Of traffic.
Like English Board.
In scope the powers granted to the
Canadian railway commission resemble
those possessed by the English board of
trade. The broadness Of this scope is
illustrated by the following things
which the commission may do:
Make regulations governing the speed
Of trains in cities and towns.
Fix regulations pertaining to safety
appliances.
Pass upon disputes in respect to all
railway crossings and functions.
Determine disputes between the rail
roads and the farmers with respect tc
drainage.
Pass upon railway location plans an6
inspection to see that railways and rail
way bridges are kept in safe condition
The commission may disallow any
tariff that violates this provision. IN
der such conditions the railway mus
substitute a satisfactory rate or thu
commission may prescribe one.

story written since steam vessels

had Impressed upon him memories OF
the trail Of thick black smoke that
revealed the presence OF an enemy's
cruiser, blockade runner or posi-
ole rescuer.
The navy department has at last
begun to take notice Of this familiar
trail Of black smoke" for, beginning
in the spring. all new vessels that
are building will have to undergo
tests to show how much smoke they
do emit from their tunnels. The
amount OK smoke war vessel gives
out while under way has come to be
recognized as an important factor, for
the volume of smoke is largely re-
sponsible for the distance at which
she can be picked up" at sea. BY
measuring the up-pouring smoke ad-
ditional facts may be gathered as to
the efficiency of the furnaces and
boilers.
The departments present idea is to
take a series Of snapshots at stated
intervals of ship while she is steam
ing en- her trial trip, and from these
the quantity Of smoke may be easily
determined. In speaking OF this new
departure the other day a naval Off
Ger questioned the reliability Of such
a test. He said:
"All Of these trial trips are made
with picked coal, to say nothing Of
picked crews of firemen, who natural
ly could produce more even com

could with the stuff the average ship

On Feb. 27. with great ceremonies,

the future Westminster abbey OF the
Hohenzollern dynasty. and the kali
fers most ambitious effort In the line
Of church-building.
The new dome is in one Of the
finest and most historical places OF
the great and beautiful modern capital
OF Germany. To its right is the old
schloss built by the great architect
Sehlcuter, and the monumental eques-
trian statue of Emperor William I

Then to the. left OF the church, in
close proximity, Is the fine castle

Schinkel, the Zeughaus Historical
armory), the new and OLD museums.

dedicated Kaiser Frederick museum.
There Is probably no place in the
world where a dome could have been
placed under more suitable and har-
monions surroundings. In selecting
a site In the Lustgarten for the erec-
tion Of this church the kaiser In his
own words had In mind a distinct pur-
pose. He found wanting in Berlin,
he declared, a milestone such as is st.
Peters IN Rome. the st. Stephan's
dome in Vienna, the dome in Cologne,
