NEW SYSTEM
Of ACCOUNTS
Railroad Commission Plan
to Keep Informed Upon
Railroad Workings.

New York. June 29.-The uniform
followed by all railroads, by order
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, goes into effect Monday, and
hereafter monthly reports must be
filed by all roads, The system is a
highly ingenious one. and was pre-
pared by Henry c. Adams, statistican
for the commission, who devoted
many months in perfecting it.
Four of the accounts are issued
under the general heads of operating
revenues. operating expenses, expen-
diturs for road and equipment, and
locomotive car and train miles
Formal depreciation charges are
set up in operating expenses for all
classes of equipment The object OF
these depreciation charges is so that
the fact that the cost of a particular
month or a particular year shall be
assigned to the earnings OF that
month or year, and thus enable a
correct statement of net revenue
from operations. The definition of
beterments and additions will also
result in keeping the cost or I'M
provements out of operating expenses
and of excluding them from the cost
of performing current business
A useful feature of the classified
ton for operating expenses is that
the expense of advertising and solicit
ing traffic is kept separate from the
cost of hauling and handling the
traffic.
The accounts of construction work
are so kept that when a physical
valuation is made of railway property,
the additions and betterments from
year to year can be added to such
valuation, thus keeping current
record or the physical value of rail-
way property.
The accounts of revenues are so
drawn as to enable the examiners of
the commission to easily check the
amounts stated as earnings, in order
that there should be excluded from
earnings all improper payments Of
all sorts
All of these cIassifcations have
been worked out with the assistance
ard cooperation of many railway
accounting officers. and no question
has been finally decided by the com
| mission without first soliciting the
opinions and suggestions of all i'm
pOrtant railway companies.

THE LEAD PENCIL.

its Development From the Markers
Used by the Ancients.
| 1t is difficult to determine the exact
period in which 'bIack lead" was first
utilized as an instrument for writing
or drawing, as il has been confused
with other mineral bodies TO which ii
bears no relation. The ancients used
lead, but the metal was formed into
fat plates and the edges of these plates
used to make the mark. If an orna-
mental design was desired, the tran
scriber drew parallel lines and traced
therein Illuminated designs, usually
with a hard point, but also with soft
lead That lead was known to the an
clients is also proved by the fact that
it is mentioned in the book of Job.
During the year 1915 there was a de-
scription of the black lead pencil writ
ten by, Conrad GeSner. He says that
pieces of plumbago were fastened in a
wooden handle and a mixture of fossil
substance, sometimes covered with
wood, was used for writing and draw
ing. About half century later a very
good account of this mineral was Civ
en-, and it was then used in Italy for
drawing and mixed with clay for man
ufacturing cruCibleS.
We are informed in Beckman's "His-
tory of Inventions" that the pencils
first used in Italy for drawing We're
composed of a mixture of lead and tin,
nothing more than pewter. This pen
Gil was called a stile. Michael Angelo
mentions this stile, and, in fact, it
seems that such pencils were long used
in common over the whole continent
of Europe. At this period the name
plumbagO or graphite was not in use,
but instead the name molybdena or
molly bdoids, which is now applied to
an entirely different mineral.
Graphite or black lead is formed in
the primary rocks. In the United
States it occurs in feldspar and quartz,
in Great Britain in greensboro rock
and gneiss and in Norway in quartz.
The mine at Borrowdale, England, has
supplied some of the finest black lead
in the world, but the quantity varies
owing TO the irreguIarity with which
the mineral occurs
The Jews were for awhile the only
manufacturers of pencils. 1t required
great skill to perfect the manufacture,
according to the degree of hardness or
sOftness required OF recent years the
manufacture of pencils has increased
to such an extent that the price OF
these articles has decreased proper
tionately. Graphite and pure clay are
combined and used in the manufacture
of artificial black lead pencils, and. on
the other hand. the greatest perfection
Is attained in the making of the higher
class pencils. Graphite is exposed to
heat to acquire firmness and brilliancy
of color. Sulphur is also used to secure
more perfect color.-Scientifc Amer

Real Use of the Bees Stino.

'"The bees sting is a trowel, not q
rapier," said nature student. at is
an exquisitely delicate little trowel
with which the bee finishes off the
honey cell, inIects little preservative
inside and seals it up. With its trowel-
like sting the bee puts the final touches
on the dainty and wonderful work.
With the sting it pats and shapes the
honey cell, as mason pats and shapes
a row Of brick Before sealing up the
cell 1t drops a wee bit of poison into
the honey. This is formic acid. With
out it honey would spoil. Most of us
think the bees sting, with its poison,
is weapon only. 1t is a weapon Sec
ondarily, but primarily it is a magic
trowel, trowel from whose end, as
the honey cells are built up, a wonder.

The Weatherino of Coal

1t is probably not generally known
that coal exposed to the atmosphere
undergOes chemical changes greatly
affecting its quality. Moisture is the
most powerful agent in producing such
change. 1t is a matter Of common
knowledge among men engaged in the
making of Illuminating gas that coal
which has been stored for a long time
experiences a loss of hydrocarbons.
and the effects of the change are
shown in diminution of the volume
of the coal and in loss of illuminat-
ing power in the gas produced from if
such chemical changes occurring in
great masses Of coal may even produce
sufficient accumulation of heat to cause
spontaneous combustion.

Mercury and Air.

The reason that mercury rises and
falls in the barometer is that dry air Is
heavy, moist air is light, and the col
umn of mercury is affected by atmos-
pheric pressure The tube OF barom-
eter being open at the bulb end, the
air when moist cannot support the
weight of the mercury. When the air
Is dry, the mercury cannot resist it's
weight; hence the rise and fall in dry
and wet weather.

enthusiastic and cordial reception
that has been accorded any public
speaker who has delivered an address
here during the campaign. His en-.
gagement had been widely heralded,
and he was greeted bv an audience
that taxed the capacity Of the Court
House. and overlooked out into the
corridors. Mr.. James is considered
one of the first orators of the State
noted for its eloquent men, and well
did be sustain that reputation We'd
nesday. His experience in Congress
had given him added power as a
speaker, and he far surpassed the
already high record he established
here during the last State campaign.
lie was enthusiastically cheered time
and again, as he scored strong points
and his appearance here has done
more to arouse enthusiasm and inter
est in the campaign than anything
else 1t is regretted that he was
able to be here only between trains,
and his remarks were necessarially
confined to the space OF short hour.
He went taking with him the regard
and admiration of every one who
heard his forceful and eloquent
speech. -Richmond Kentucky Reg

IMPERIAL GETS 1907 CROP
Arrangements are Now Being Made
to Sell Last Years Crop to
Same Company.

Henderson, KY, Oct. 31.-The
Stemming District Tobacco associa-
ton today sold the entire crop Of 1907
in this district. The crop was pur-
chased by the Imperial Tobacco com
pany. Mr Elliott, the general man
ager of the company in this district
is in England and the contract for
the sale of this years crop was signed
in that country and notice of the sale
was received here today.
All the tobacco sold was in pool.
The district includes Henderson,
Webster, Union, Crittenden and
Hopkins counties. The prices in to-
days sale were as follows: First
grade--Leaf SO; Tugs, SO; trash,
81. Second grad 50, 80 and So.
Third grade---ss, s. and 50. Fourth
grade---s7. 81 and 50. 1t is esti-
mated that there are sixteen millions
pounds in pool and the average price
was ; cents. The total price for the
tobacco will be about 1920, 600.
The work of the "day riders" in
marching through many of the coun
ties and asking the companies not Il
sell the OF crop until last years crOE
has been disposed of, did not beal
fruit. Today's sale, however, seems
to be satisfactory to the farmers a.
arrangements are now on foot to sci
the entire crop of last year. Nearl,
all the tobacco IN the district was il

Bio Crowd Hears Ollie James.

Princeton, Ky, Nov. 4.--Con-
gresham Ollie James made the clos
ing speech of the campaign here to-
night to one of the biggest crowds
ever present at a political speaking
in Princeton.
Congressman James devoted much
of his speech in answering an attack
made on him by former Senator Viii
liam Deboe in a speech in this city
on last Saturday, and his remarks
concerning the Republican Sena-
tor were received with applause.
Mr.. James asked the voters of Cald-
well county not to let the tricks of
the Republicans and Anti-saloon
League workers deceive them into
casting their votes for Wilson and
the Republican ticket in the belief
that the Democratic party had pledged
itself to the whisky element. He
denounced the tactics employed 10y
Young and Collins as being unworthy
of the respect of intelligent people.
