RIGHT OF SHIPPERS.
Important Principle Involved in Com.
plant Filed Today.

A complaints involving an Insignificant
sum Of money and some important prfn-
cipies was filed with the Interstate COM
merce commission today by James B.
Mason against the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific railway. The complainant
claims that on shipments Of baled straw
from Center Point. Iowa. to Chicago the
defendant line charged him IA cents per
hundred pounds on weight of $4,000
pounds to car, although the precise
weight was only 1920 pounds. He alleges
that the charge was unreasonable. The de-
PENDANT also exacted a charge Of 81 a car
for alleged delay In unloading at Chicago
delay over which complainant had no con-
troll. He says that there should be reci-
procity in demurrage charges, and that the
defendant and other railroads should pay
shippers such charges for delays in ship
ments. because they are careless in fur
nishing cars after they are ordered. The
complainant demands that the commission
give him reparation and that an order be
issued requiring railroads to furnish cars
within a reasonable time.

FIRST TRAMWAY ENGINE.
Believed to Have Been Invented By
Richard Trevithick.

Who was the great genius, for he
must have been such, first to conceive
and apply steam locomotion? Accord
Ing to drawing Of one of the earliest
steam locomotives, or, as 1t was desig-
mated at that time, high pressure tram
engine" invented by Richard Ire
vithick, which drawing was made in
accordance with the testimony of Rees
Jones, who aided in the fitting, and
william Richards, its driver, 1t Is prov
ed to the satisfaction of historians that
to Trevithick is due the credit for the
application of steam to locomotion. In
this engine the exhausted steam was
discharged into the chimney stack and
the wheels were combined together.
Underneath the drawing 1t Is stated
that the engine was designated on the
original plan, dated 1903, as Tire
vithick's high pressure tram engine"
and was constructed partly in Corn
wall and partly at Pen-y-Darren works
by Richard Trevithick, engineer for
Samuel Homfray, proprietor of the
Pen-y-Darren Iron works.
The story is related as historical
fact that Merthyr Tudyvil, while dis

ANTIQUITY OF BEER.
This Beverage Was First Brewed by
the Egyptians.

Beer IL of great antiquity. 1t was
manufactured first by the Egyptians
and afterward by the Greeks, Romans
and ancient Gauls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus, Pliny, Xenophon and others.
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing Of beer or ale, as
It was then called, to the Britons. at
the time of the latter's conquest by the
former. The Britons continued the
brewing Of barley malt, calling 1t ale,
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing Of hops with
the barley malt, calling it bier or, in
English, beer.
The history of the New England colo
nies shows that the Puritans were
great beer drinkers and that for long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beer was the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
Of Massachusetts its retail price was
fixed by law at penny quart. Its
sale to Indians was not forbidden. A
law of 1919 ordered that every vict-
ualer or ordinary innkeeper should al
ways be provided 9th good whole
some beer for the Entertainment of
strangers.
The laws of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture of beer, and even
as late as ten years after Massachu
sets had become state law was
passed entitled, "An act to encourage
the manufacture and consumption Of
beer, ale and other malt liquors"
The act freed beer from all taxation,
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the i'm
portation of cheap rum from Jamaica.

Snow and Hail of Queer Color..

Storms in which red, yellow and or
ange colored SHOWS fell were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century. Hum
boldt mentions hailstorm which once
occurred In Palermo in which every
hailstone was as red as Globule of
frozen blood. On March IA, 1913, there
was hailstorm in Tuscany in which
the individual stones were each of Il
bright yellow color. In 1908 at Carnio-
Ia, Germany. they had fall Of Grim
son snow which was nearly five feet
In depth. Snow of 4 brick red hue fell
In Italy in 1916 and in the Tyrol in
1917. IN some sections of Iceland
snow seldom falls 10 any considerable
depth without being composed of al
ternate layers of frozen crystals of
different colors. There are arctic banks
of red snow which are so we'll known
to explorers that they are called the
"crimson cliffs"
