ANIMALS AND HEAT.
Varying Effects Of the Searching
Rays of the SUM-.

Varying Effects OF the screening
Rays Of the Sum-.
Wild animals oppressed by heat are
almost human in their actions. They
seek shelter from the sun, thirst much
for water and fall down at last sun
struck. The tigers Of India seek jun
giles nearly impenetrable to man,
where in the pools they wallow for
hours chin deep in the water rather
than endure the heat of the sun driv-
ing through the mass of foliage over
head. Further than this, they may
sometimes be surprised, like deer, in
the water.
Cattle seek the woods and shaded
spots when the sun begins to show its
fury, but they are soon driven out by
more deadly enemy, the armies of
bloodthirsty and keenly weaponed in
sects, and resort to the hills. CuriOusly
enough, many insects prefer keeping in
the shade to quenching their thirst
with blood. When the cattle seek the
pools and streams fish gather around
to snap up the flies killed by the tails
of the beasts.
Fishermen see deer along Adiron-
dack and Maine lakes and streams in
the hot days of summer. The deer in
the streams nibble at a lily pad now
and again and swim across to islands
or the opposite shore.
No mammal bears the heat so well
as domestic cats. When dogs seek the
shade cats stretch themselves out in
the sun, and not till dogs pant in the
| When it is hot cats drink a good deal
and lie quietly in sort of doZe, as if
thinking Of ice heaps and snOwdriftS.
| According to an animal collector, the
polar bears seem to enjoy the heat OF
midsummer. When the sun beats
down hottest these thick skinned
brutes lie stretched out in the full
glare, just as dog or cat lies down
before fire In midwinter.
The birds of the fields, the roadside
birds, the sparrowS and the pigeons
battle in the hot dust. but also find de
light in pond, drinking great quaint
ties Of water and splashing about with
| the greatest enthusiasm.
In England the rocks gather round
the sheep troughs waiting eagerly fol
the evening supply of water to be
turned on. In Australia parrots an(
birds driven from their shady perches
and flying over an opening in time Of
drought sometimes fall dead.
The woodchuck retires to the moist
depths Of its burrow, the squirrel t(
, its home tree. The hare lies in the
long grass beside brook in an alder
bed.
The snakes, the mud turtles, the
drooning insects seek the cattle path!
and road sands or some log in a poo
of water on which the sun beats heavi

First-Whether the revenue from

not be made commensurate with the
actual cost of the service rendered in

distinctions.
Second-In case second class mat

Thirdly what amendments of ex-

AS will be seen from the scope of
this inquiry, there is to be a grand
shake-up of the second class business
as whole, and it will be the first one
the country has ever had The legis-
iatlon which will follow the inquiry
will almost certainly raise the cost OF
the second class service. Just how
much it will raise it will depend upon
the resistance of the publishers of the
country.
The commission while its work is
under way will pay careful attention
to abuses of the second class privileges
and to various classes of fake pub

Comprehensive Inquiry Into Second
Glass Regulations
REFORMS WILL Be WORKED OUT
PLANS ARE ON FOOT TO IN
CREASE THE INCOME FROM
THAT BRANCH.
REFORMS WILL Be WORKED OUT

After a long wait and much discus
sion of the subject, in and out Of con-
gress. provision has at last been
made for comprehensive inquiry into
the second class laws and regulations
with a view to such legislation as will
correct existing abuses and place the
business on a proper footing. Inc
commission which has been appointed
as a result of the new law will begin
it's hearings in New York city, Octo-
Der l. and will continue it's work, there
and in other large cities of the coun-
try, for several weeks. Then it will
make a digest of the testimony and
unite in recommendations to congress-.
The commission is composed of men,
bers of congress-three senators and
three representatives, with Senator
Penrose as chairman-and on that ac-
count the recommendations will with
out doubt cut a good deal Of figure
during the short session next winter,
is the report that comes from Wash
ington.
In a general way, the commission is
to inquire into and report to congress
it's conclusions on the operations and
effect of the exinting sscond- class laws
and regulations and what changes, if
any, should be made in them. There
is not a publisher in the country who
is not directly or indirectly interested
in this hearing, for it will pass in re-
view the entire second-class law and
perhaps result in radical recommended
lions with a view to increasing the in

vice.
Cost of Department.
During the last fiscal year it cost
the government $167 ,O00, 900 to run the
postoffice department. The postoffice
receipts during that year were $685.
00O, 600 Of all the mail matter ham
died in that year, second class mail
constitutes two thirds, while it yield
ed but $6,2S6,O47 in revenue, or only
about one twenty fourth of the total
revenue of the department.
Henry H. Classic, who has been
named as secretary of the commission,
says on this point:
Not only has the postal revenue
suffered by reason of the undue ex-
tension of the second class matter as
compared with all other classes, but
in dealing with the matter itself the
postal authorities are hampered at
every step by difficulties Of admins
tration. The rates governing second
class matter are numerous and in
volved, and the application of them
seems to require a constant inquiry
into matters for which an admins
trative office is not properly equipped.
The system as a whole has been re-
peatedly condemned by postmasterc-
general as lacking in simplicity and
uniformity, and as being confusing to
the publishing world as we'll as to the
officials of the service
Having these facts in mind, Mr..
Classic says that the commission
deems it advisable to direct its in
quiries especially into three lines,
which he outlines as follows:

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The recent accident on the Pennsyl-
vanIa electric line to Atlantic city, by
which 70 many lives were lost, was all
the more deplorable because It is freely
admitted, that It could easily have been
avoided Eastern papers claim that but
for the universal impatience which has
caused making time" to he the first
duty Of motorman, the train could
not have plunged into the thorough
fare, Accidents of a similar nature
are really too numerous In this coun-
try. Congress should appropriate the
necessary means for a thorough inyes-
tigation OF the entire subject OF railroad
accidents, with view OF finding the
remedies that may be needed. Acct
dents will always happen. but II should

would therefore mean substantial
saving to the companies every year.

REMEMBER THE AMENDMENTS.

The attention Of the voters is again
called 10 the fact that they are sup
7 posed TO express, on election day. their
Z mind and will on two important sub
jects. one relates TO the support OF
high schools. 1t is whether q constisu.
tional amendment ought TO be adopted,
( making II possible for state funds to
I be used for the partial support OF local
high schools. As the law now stands,
such schools can be supported only by
local taxation, and the consequence Is
that some school districts are more
highly favored than others In the mat
tor OF higher education, because their
financial resources are greater. and that
hundreds OF young men and women arc
thus deprived OF such education because
( OF their financial inability TO attend the
educational Institutions In the more
/, highly favored districts. The question
In simply this, whether tho State should
undertake 10 offer all the young men
and women an equal opportunity Of
pursuing their studies after they have
J left the district schools, by giving tho
4, state board the authority 10 come TO
the assistance OF tho less favored
I districts in the maintenance OF high
uhools. The voters should make up
their minds on this important subject
before they enter the booths on election
day. so that they can vote intelllgently
and With a full understanding OF what
IL Involved In the question.
The other subject. which is equally
important relates TO the exemption OF
mortgages from taxation. According to
the law, AS II now Is, mortgages held by
money lenders outside the state are not
subject 20 taxation. while those that
are held by local capitalists are taxed.
The object OF the trainers OF this pro-
vision OF the law undoubtedly was to
add to the sources OF revenue OF the
state. while at the same time encoir-
aging outside capitalists TO make In

the arrangement has not been satlsfac-
tory. Governor Cutler In his thought

ception and dishonesty" And we be-
lieve II IL generally understood that the

which the voters should prepare them
selves TO express their views on election
day.
