into "trolIy" and the word came into
 use among the employees on the line. In
 short time 1t spread to the other lines and in a few years was in universal use. The travelling carriage pulled along by flexible wire. while 1t was l an advance over anything that had | ever been tried. was yet far from per .ect.
 Then in a happy moment Henry hit upon the trolly pole Idea and it proved
 an instant success. At first the poles
 were of wood. but they broke so often that 1t was not long before hollow piping was substituted. With that
 invention electric traction began to gain and in few years 1t had shown it's merits and marked the ending of all sother forms of city rapid transit.
 His scheme adopted on the Kansas City-Independence line. Henry began to make money and soon abandoned his little Westport experimental line and secured the use of some sidetracks of the old Kansas City. Fort Scott and Gulf road near Rossndaie to continue his experiments. In the fall of 1885 he secured some new machinery and with ample backing went to work to develop the speed of electric motors, which until then had proved somewhat era ratio. @Y-
 Twenty-Five Horse Power Cars.
 Ills experiments were successful and he undertook the contract of equipping the old East Side Street railway, the foundation of what is now the North cast or. Foreet Park line. The first Side line had a mile of track and Henry installed upon it four single twenty-five horse power moter cars. The motors were built in Kansas City and people who had lived along the line can still remember the noise they made. The cars palatial for those days. would look like a cigar box alongside the big cars of today The motors were not connected directly with the car axle, but were mounted in the car in full view of the passengers and the power was transmitted to the wheels by belts.
 Henry continued his experiments after equipping the East Side line and soon became known far and wide ih the electrical traction field. In 1878 lie went to California. where he built several electric -,treet railroads, the machinery for which he had made in Kansas City.
 Tn the field of electrical engineering the success he made with the meager facilities and the still more meager funds at his command is considered re- markable. He was remote from every thing that he needed and yet his Ingenuity overcame all obstacles. The groundwork of his inventions still en- dure and hls word ''trolly" is in univer- sal use, even though he may be almost forgotten

NO HUMAN LIFE ON STARS.
Existence of Beings Like Man Possible
 in Solar System Only.

Astronomers can see with great modern telescope at least 100000 stars in the entire universe. The question arises: How many other bodies like the earth exist in space?" Professor T. J. J, See of the United States navy claims that the study of the double stars tends to support the contention of Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace that the universe Is not inhabited except the earth alone.
 In 1896 Dr. See published a work on the orbits of all the double stars which could be determined at that time and he found the double stars so different from the solar system that he says no other system like that to which the earth belongs is known tc exist in the heavens. The double stars revolve in orbits of high eccentricity and the members of system are usually equal or comparable in mass, while the planets of the solar system move in circular orbits and have masses which are infinitely small compared to that of the sun. about which they revolve
 The result is that the solar system affords equal conditions of heat and light, such as organic life requires. while the system of the double stars would furnish such great change of light and heat that life could not survive on a planet attached to q member of daubie such as Sirius or Procyon.
 The sun has mass TAG times greater

INVENTED TROLLEY
JOHN (. HENRY, TELEGRAPH OPERATOR, ALSO GAVE NAME
 TO INVENTION.
Government Report Gives Kansas City Honor of Coming the World First Experimental Line
 Built Between Place Named and
 Independence.

Kansas City Star. How and where the word ''trolly originated has been a matter of some dispute but there Is little question that the honor of giving birth to word now In almost universal use belongs to Kansas City. This distinction fig accord- ed to Kansas City in q recent publica- tion of the government census office dealing with the growth and develop ment of electric traction in tho United States
 The place of the birth of the word trolly'' was the present Kansas City Independence line and the man who probably first uttered 1t was John C. Henry The circumstances attending its origi aform m interesting bit of history of the use of electricity as motive power in Kansas City.
 John C. Henry was for several years in the early sos an operator for the Western Union Telegraph Company. He lived in Westpoint and used all of his spare time and money in making ex- periments toward the perfection of electric traction. Henry was a genius and. considering the difficulties under which he worked. the success of his experiments was marvellous. He was far remover from any center electrical development and without proper facili- ties for work. and yet the results of his apartments are embodied in many of the electrical motive power machines in use al the present time His great est invention was the trolly.
 Hcnry's Experimental Line.
 In the period of 1sS4-s5 electric street railways. as we know them now. were in the first stages of development. Experiments that had been made up to that time had all been along the third rail and conduit methods of transporta- ton of electric energy to the motors. The latter method, no doubt was sug- gested by the conduit of the cable roads. which was then coming into almost universal use as a solution Of the rapid transit problem In the cities.
 Both methods were full of faults and little headway was made. Henry was quick to recognize the defects in both, methods and he early turned his genius to devising a method of overhead transmission. He worked day and night and finally reached a stage of de- feet He built little experimental line at his home in westpoint and there gave a practical demonstration of the worth of his invention.
 This was at the time when the Kan sas City-Independence line was taking shape. There was aa question as to the motive power to be used and 1t was with the idea of demonstrating to the promoters of the line the advantages of electric traction that Henry built his experimental line. His trolly of that day was far different from the trolly as we know it now. His trolJy was a travelling carriage. which was moved along the wire with the car by the flexible cable which carried the power to the motors. Henry rigged up his invention on a short section of the Kansas City-Independence line.
 Origin of the Word '"TrOIly."
 He called the travelling carriage troller," because 1t was trolled" along the wire. Then he corrupted "troiler

 It was only in this way that Mir White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of Mir. Blacks worst enemies Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four ta- ble, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare:

But Mir. White could not be de- ceiVed; T am afraid you can't stand the gleam. Mir. Black. Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with 1t? You'll always have that hun gry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia Now listen My stomach was In just as bad condition as yours at one time. But now I can eat any thing, at any time. For instance, this clam chowder or sirloin steak or even the Holsters would be just as welcome to my stomach as your crackers and milk.

 Really this is a question worth think Ing about seriously, both on psycholog- teal and physiological grounds. It Is probably true, as Prentice Mulford said, that we would not grow old so fast if we would cease celebrating our birth days and so far as possible forget all about them.

Once others think constantly of a man or woman as getting old, that concern trated thought Is bound at length to strike in until the victim begins to ac- cept it, too Physical decreptitude will follow. and in numerous cases it comes quite fifteen years before there is any need, just because the victim and his

Railroad Files Formal Objection to

DECLARE RATES ACCORD WITH ORDER

MEETING-ROAD WAS CITED
IN COMPLAINT.

papers from Olympia says:
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany today filed with the railroad
commission formal objection to the or
der of the commission relating to joint
wheat rates, together with brief in
favor of a modification of the Or
der. In the brief it is argued that no
evidence was introduced at the recent
hearing to show that any shipper
would be prejudiced by there being
no joint rate from or between points
on the line of the Northern Pacific
Railway company Or from points on
the line of the Washington & Column
bia River Railway company, with
which it has a traffic agreement and
an established joint rate to any point
on the Northern Pacific. 1t is argued
that the circumstances are such that
no injustice could possibly follow the
failure of any other railway to make
a joint rate between the same points
1t is insisted that the commission
should not order the establishment Of
joint rate from either Oakesdale,
Garfield, Pullman, Spokane, Council,
Walla Walla, Dayton, Waitsburg
Hunts Junction and Wallula and the
Puget Sound terminals of Tacoma Sc
attic, Everett and Bellingnam, be-
cause the Northern Pacific and the
Washington & Columbia River are
now carrying freight between the
points named at the rate fixed by the
commission.
The Northern Pacific also objects
to the Bellingham terminal rate being
directed against it, on the ground that
the company was not included in the
citation issued by the commission in
the Bellingham terminal rate COM
plant.
Formal application is made for
modification of the order Of the COM
mission in these matters, and 1t is
probable the Northern Pacific attor-
neys will be given an opportunity to
present further arguments to the COM
mission at Olympia during the coming
week
