RATES
LON IN VIRGINIA.
Commissioner Stuart Says They
Are Under Those in Other
Eastern States.
SCHEDULES ARE sIMPLIFIED

Corporation Commissioner Henry C..
Stuart. who is at the head OF the rate
department OF the commission. when
seen yesterday with reference to the
resolution passed by the State Horti-
cultural Society at its meeting in
Staunton, relative to excessive express
rates in Virginia and the need OF
publication of express rates for gen
eral distribution in simple form, stated
that the commission has already for-
mulateds published, and to some OK
tent distributed throughout the State,
tariffs. rules and classifications gov
erning express companies. which seem
to cover the very want expressed by
the horticultural Association. that Is
to say. schedule of rates which Is
accessible to and easily understood ny
the public. Mr.. Stuart stated that ex-
press rates were necessarily somewhat
complex. and that 1t s,very difficult
to present the tariffs in such way
as to be as easily understood as
freight rates, but that the tariffs all
ready issued. he thought, would meet
the wants of the public.
yirxfnia's Rates Low.
Mr.. Stuart did not care to discuss
the rates themselves pending the ap-
pearance OF the committee OF the Hor-
ticultural Association before the COM
mission in furtherance OF their reso-
luton. He stated generally, however.
that the rates prescribed by the COM
mission, and put in pa...phlet form
and distributed. were the most COM
plete In detail of any that had been
published In any of the States. and
that in fact, no other State within mis-
knowledge has attempted to make a
complete set OF express rates for pub
liz distribution. Mr.. Stuart further
stated that the general level OF the
rates themselves was below that Of
any state east OF the Rocky Noun
tains.
Secretary Wilson. Of the Commits
sion, said these tariffs, rules and class
sifications, as amended to November
/. 1907, were now printed and bound.
and that copies would be furnished to
all persons desiring them upon appli-
cation.

The Reainnlnas of Life.

The beginnings of life have been
lately studied by Miss Rina Monti
in some of the newer lakes of tho
Alps In the Lake Of the SeracN,
which has been formed within the
memory of present inhabitants, only
five species of life are to be found,
and these are all plants, four being
diatoms.
In Ong and Tignaga, two older lakes
animal forms-feeding upon the dia.
toms-have begun to appear. The oh
servations make 1t evident that life
in lake begins with diatoms that
absorb the carbonic acid in the water
and that the next stage is the devel
opment of simple animal organisms
like rhizopods, that subsist on vegeta
BILE forms already existing.
Biologists have inferred that the
first life on earth began in the ocear
in this same way.
