THE RAILROAD RATE BILL.
Some Provisions Of the Measure as
Passed by tie Senate.

The railroad rate bill Iassed the
senate last Friday with only three
dissenting votes. 1t, is now up TO
the house to accept the amendments
which were added to the bill by the
senate, and there is but little doubt
but what the measure will go to the
president for his signature in prac-
tically the same form as it stands to
day. The principal purpose of the
bill is to permit the interstate COM
merce commission to fix rates. The
provision comforting this authority
is found in the fourth section of the
bill, which amends section l5 of the
interstate commerce law so as to ac-
compllsh this result. That section
directs the commission to investigate
complaints on unjust and unreason-
able charges on the part of the COM
mon carriers IN the transportation
of persons or property, or of regula-
tions or of practices affecting such
charges. 1t also authorizes an in
quiry as to whether the rates or
practices are "unjustly discrimin-
atory or unduly preferential or pre-
judicial or otherwise in violation OF
the act' and in case any of these
conditions are alleged to exist the
commission is empowered to deter,
mine and prescribe what will be ths
Just and reasonable maximum ratt
and what regulation or practice il

authority is given the commission

On the Diamond.

The game Of ball at Soda Springs
last Sunday between the Montpelier
and Soda Springs mines was called
off at the end Of the seventh inning
on account Of rain, with the score
standing s to s. As 1t was the first
attempt Of the season for both nincs,
it was not expected that either one
would put up very good games.
However, considering all condi-
tions, the game was satisfactory.
Soda Springs made all but one of
their runs in the second inning
when, through comedy of errors
on the part of the home team, they
placed seven runs to their credit.
After that our boys settled down to
business and gave Soda goose eggs
on short order in the third, fourth
and fifth innings. In the sixth Soda
placed one more tally to their score.
Montpelier had the honor of plac-
ing one run to their credit in the
first inning. The other scores were
divided as follows: three IN the
second, one in the fifth and three in
the sixth.
Soda has much stronger team
than last year, and with a little
practice they will be able to &c
against any amateur team in the
state. The team will receive the
handsome donation of $50 a month,
for four months, from the mer
chants of the town, which glyes The
team great encouragement and
makes them feel like playing ball.
Although Montpelier will have
only about four OF last years play
ers in the lineup this year, we be
lieve that the team will show ur
fully as strong as last season.
Soda Springs will play here next
Observation-Disclosures Day, and
thev are coming up with the deter
mination of taking the big end oi
the gate receipts.
This will be the first game of the
season here and if the weather il
favorable there ought to be big
attendance. The Montpelier team
will entertain the visitors with &
big dance at the opera house a
night.

The Man-Fish

THERE used to be traditions among the
L sailors of mermaidS at sea, half women
and half fish, and there are fishes which may
have gwen rise to the belief, from their resem-
blance to human beings One of these is
called the man-fsh
This animal inhabits the mouths III
Amazon, Orinoco. and other South American
rivers. Its name (manatee) has reference to
the peculiar form of its swinmng-paws; these
are composed of soft parts and a membrane
which intoldS the bones of the hands and fin
gers; but in the manatee four fiat nails are
seen attached to the edge of the paw.
The tail also is peculiar, being about one
fourth the length of the body. and oval-shaped
not unlike that of the otter. The head is
round, attached to the body without a neck
the muzzle, in which the nostrils are placed
IS large and f1eshy; the upper lip. cleft and
bristled at the side; the lower lip much shorter
and the mouth small.
When seen at a distance, with the anterior
part OF the body out of the water, they are
sometimes taken for some creature approach
ing to human shape. The effect has been
deepened by the thick-set hairs of the muscle,
giving somewhat the appearance of human
hair or a beard. Thus, the Spanish and the
Portuguese give the manatee a name which
signifies woman-hsh; and the Dutch call it the
dnd0Hg bdGrdmannetse, or little bearded man.
New-York tribune., 1906-04-29
A Live Unicorn

nNE OF these strange marine creatures now
~ so rare IN this part of the world, was
caught and stuffed not long ago near Cape
SaSani, and put on exhibition IN San Fran
cisco.
The body IS of the size of a small deer and
covered with scales about an inch in diameter,
with tufts Of reddlsh-brown hair growing plen-
titully between the scales. Its legs are slender,
and have long hair about the hoofs, which re-
sembe those Of a deer or goat. The tail is
straight and tufted, like that OF a COW, while
the snOut IS enlarged at the end like that OF a
swine, and the mouth shows formidable tusls
protruding either side. From the center
than SIX inches in length and less than an inch
III diameter, which curves upward slightly.
In addition, there are two long feelerS or
tentaCles, one on each side of the mouth. The
hair on the neck Is longer than elsewhere, of
the same reddish color, and has the appearance
OF a short name. The fishermen related that
this sea wonder was sometimes seen upon the
shore OF the island, and that it made musical
noise, which gave 1t the name of the singing
sea-unicOrn, and some of the more CredulOuS
islanders had taken its notes, heard family in
the distance, for those of mernaids.
The unicorn still exists in the interior of
Tibet 1t Is there called the one-hOrned tsO-pO.
In that country 1t is more of a land animal; its
hoofs are divided; it IS about twelve thir-
teen hands high. 1t Is extremely wild and
fierce. yet associating in large herds. Its tail
IS shaped like that of a boar, and its horn,
which Is curved, grows out of its forehead.
1t IS seldom caught alive; but the Tartars fire.
quently shoot II and use its flesh for food.

Something About Ants

THE ants in Lapland are three times as
large as our common ant. Their nests
are hllockS OF tlr SprlgS and rubbish often
four feet high, the inside a mass of eggs and
ants. We-beaten roads diverge from them
IN every direction. like the lines of railway.
These ants cross the little streams and brooks
by means of natural bridges.
One day a naturalist was jumping over
brook, and brushed with his head and shoulders
two willow branches which met over the water.
In an instant he was covered with ants which
were making their way across the bridge which
he had disturbed.
The Indians of Brazil have a curious method
of stitching up a cash which is as efficient as
the methods of modern surgeons. There is
a species of large ant, which has mandi-
bleS that can bite through almost ANYTHING
One of the peculiaritieS of this ant is that
when it catches hold of anything with these
jaws it cannot be made to let go Even if the
rest OF the body IS pulled off, the jaws still keep
their hold
When the Brazilian Indian receives a cash,
he catches some of these ants, and, holding
them to the wound, which he has previously
closed together, lets them bite They fix
their mandibles on each side of the wound,
and then he pinChes off the rest of the BODY
The jaws do not come apart. and a row of
these ants heads keep wound together until
it heals.
Ants know their friends after they have been
separated from them for a long time. An
Englishman took half the ants from a nest and
after SIX weeks marked one and put it into its
old home with a stranger. The ants in the nest
flew at the stranger, but took no notice of
their old friend. He did the same thing about
once a week for a month, and every time the
stranger was killed or driven out.
One evening a friend of mine observed an
animated black ribbon, half an inch wide, ex-
tended along his gravel walk. 1t proved to be
colony of black ants moving their quarters
Every ant carried a larva-a milk-white ant
almost as large as itsef-going in one direc-
ton, while those returning were without loads

The Nest in the Boulder

IN a somewhat desolate region near the valley
L through which runs the brook forming the
outlet to Sand Pond in Norway, Maine, is
peculiar-looking boulder of large dimensions.
On one side is deep cleft and small
shelf jutS out in such way that no rain or
storm can reach it. On this shelf is a birds
nest made from moss, taken from rocks in the
brook.
y citizen owning land in that vicinity tells
me that he has annually visited the place in
June for over fifty years, and has found either
eggs or young birds without single exception.
The nest is renewed every year, and is in
variably made of the same material.
More wonderful still is the statement that
his father had noted that a bird of peculiar
species annually built its nest and reared its
young in the same place as far back as 1872.
