Conclusions Reached Make Interesting

latlons Between the Railroads and
Certain Grain Buyers.
Washington. Aug. 2A-When con.
gress next reassembles one Of the
most interesting reports which will
be submitted relates to the grain and
elevator situation in the Northwest.
Last October John H. Marble of
Washington, attorney for the inter-
state commerce commission, conduct
ed an Investigation into the matter Of
the relations of common carriers to
the ownership and operation of ele-
vators and the buying, selling and for.
warding Of grain. The testimony was
taken before Commissioners Prouty,
Lane and Clark and as now reported
furnishes the basis for line of fed
eral suits against number of railroad
companies and elevator men.
The hearing developed that the laws
to regulate commerce on the federal
statute books as we'll as the several
state laws have been frequently, vio-
lated by Western railroads. who con-
troll elevators. It was brought out that
In several instances switching charges
and other expenses at terminal points
were, waived by railroad companies
for the benefit Of favored elevator
men and to the great detriment of in
dependent grain buyers.
Railroad Builds Elevator.
A contract between an elevator COM
pany, which has large warehouses and
elevators in Minneapolis, La Crosse
and many other towns, and q railroad
company. one Of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines, was produced showing an agree.

bound itself to pay $50, 900 toward the
erection of an elevator at Green Bay,

The contract provided that the ele-
vator company should pay but NOM

VIBRATION.
xxomWTeS Of Its Wonderful H0wef
and Penetration.

AxomUHeS Of Its Wonderful FoWof
and Penetration.
The wonderful force Of vibration Is
recognized in all its power by few
architects and builders. 1t would
amuse them If they were told that the
most solidly built of their walls would
be injured by the continuous scrapiD2
of q bow across a violin. OF course 1t
would take years Of playing to loosen
masonry and render iron brittle but
there are facts on record which show
that such a result has occurred. On a
first class battleship a man may feel
the vibrations Of a violin though he
may not be able to hear the music. 1t
is the regularity of the vibrations
which tells. The player is not affected
by them, for he is a flexible object and
can give way to motion.
Every one knows that a squad of
soldiers or any body of marching men
break step in crossing bridge, no
matter what it's size and strength may
be, for none could withstand the vibra-
tons of this concerted action. Even
the tread of dog may make bridge
shake because Of the regularity of the
vibration, so that on many of the big
suspension bridges dogs are not al
lowed unless carried in the arms of
their owners
A good illustration of the power of
vibration can be found In the Green
witch observatory. 1t stands on the top
of a hill on whose slopes hundreds of
children play OH fine evenings. Their
favorite play Is to join hands at the
top and dash headlong to the bottom,
the vibration Of the hill to such an ex-
tent that the scientists of the observa-
tory are unable to carry on their OBJ
servations, which depend upon the mo-
tionless state of a tray OF mercury.
The solid hill is in such a state of ire
NOR that the vibrations continue till
long past midnight, when the children
who have caused it have been asleep
for hours
A still more wonderful Illustration of
vibration is in the human throat. Six
ty vibrations per second is the least
number by means of which sound
can be produced. This is a sound new
er used in speaking, but is found in
mems voices in an extremely low reg
lister. The highest sound produced by
the human voice-that is. Il In altissimo
lis caused by 1,024 vibrations per Sec
ond. This, too. is exceptional, being
only obtainable in the highly cultivated
female or boy voices.
1t is simply the vocal chords which
vibrate. not the throat. In the lower
notes the whole length and thickness
of the vocal chords are used. the thin
edges being employed for the highest
ones Thus i'm SDeakinc for q minute
or two there is sufficient vibration On
gendered In the throat, were it's walls
of a solid nature instead Of soft and
flexible. to shatter and destroy it. Ev
cry minute we speak the vocal chords
vibrate from 10000 to 10000 times
