STILL BUYING BOOKS.

The travelling men are still pur-
chasing the 1000 mile interchangeable
books, although the sale is not as
heavy as it was previous to the effec.
tiveness of the two-cent law, because
the men can buy their tickets for the
same as they would the books. A lit
tie money is saved however on inter
state travel. The only feature of the
purchase of the books now is that it
saves the commercial travellers keeping
a long expense account of money paid
out for travel. Many are buying the
books for this particular feature alone.

CAR SITUATION IS
SOMEWHAT BETTER
Relief in the Past Few DAYS
Has Been of Such Nature
to Remove Complaint.
EFFECT OF GRAIN RATE
GENERALLY, is EVIDENCED BY
THE MOVEMENT OF TRAINS
THROUGH THIS CITY.

The car situation in Richmond im-
proves as the weeks go by. Although
there is yet shortage OF cars for par
ticular lines of freight, the relief in
the past few days is so great that the
shippers have ceased to find fault with
the railroads entering Richmond. This
is judged from the tenor of the talk
of shippers and from statements of
railroad men in this city. There has
been one noticeable feature of the in
crease in grain rates, and that has
been the checking of the demand for
cars, but this win be alleviated should
the price of grain keep up. In other
lines of freight there is as heavy
movement as during the heaviest
months OF the winter and spring. The
manufacturers of Richmond are now at
their busiest season, and especially is
this true of the farm implement manu-
facturers, but according to them they
are securing enough cars to handle
their product satisfactorily from both
the c., c. & L., and the Pennsylvania
lines.
That the railroads are still suffering
a car shortage generally, is evidenced
each day at the local Pennsylvania
station, by watching the freight trains
pull through the station. Stock cars
go east loaded with cattle, hogs or
horses; they come back west loaded
with coke, coal or even manufactured
goods. The refrigerator cars of the
western lines go east loaded with per-
ishable goods and return west loaded
with non-perishable goods. These
would never exist unless
there was a car shortage of great di-

EMPLOYEES ARE SET
AGAINST 16-HR. LAW
Railroad Men Say the New
Statute Plays Havoc with
Their Monthly Pay Roll.
GET NO EXTRA TIME
PERHAPS THE c., c. & l.. EN-
PLOYES WILL FARE WORSE
THAN THOSE ON THE PENNSYL.
VANiA IN THIS MATTER.

The majority of the Pennsylvania
railroad employees in this city are now
standing against the sixteen hour law,
recently passed by the Indiana state
Legislature, as they say their pay roll
next month will be materially decreas-
ed owing to the measure, as many
trainmen have been relieved within
ten or fifteen miles of their destination
just because they had served sixteen
hours. The local trainmen, especially
those on the freight trains, will not
need to be disconnected with the six
teen hour law long, as the Pennsylva-
MIA officials have already issued the or
der that trainmen must serve only
eight hours on duty and eight hours
off duty. Many local trainmen have
taken as high as twenty-four hour
shifts without rest in order that they
might swell their monthly pay roll, but
such will be a thing of the past short
ly. The local employees base their
complaint against the sixteen-hour
law because it has been Influential in
the Pennsylvania making its ruling it
did
The c., c. & L. trainmen are all set
against the state law, as it will work
havoc with their pay. 1t is understood
that c., c. & l.. trainmen do not re-
ceive the wages per hour or per mile
that other trainmen do, for some rea-
son, and when they are required to
work only eight hours, their pocket
books at the end of each month will
look as flat as the proverbiaI pancake.

A TORNADO
The Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.

Tho Spiral That Connects the Earth
With the Clouds.
While in Kansas a few years ago
had q very clear view of a tornado. 1t
was about ten miles distant, passing
swiftly over the prairie. 1t presented
the appearance of a long rope about
two feet In diameter. 1t extended
from a dark, irregularly shaped cloud
to the earth and was slightly curved.
1t was of nearly uniform thickness
and leaned about thirty-five degrees
from a perpendicular toward the cloud.
A line drawn from where l stood to
the cloud would have made an angle of
about forty degrees with the earth's
surface. After this ropelike projection
had parted l noticed in the irregular
cloud a perfectly shaped spiral of sill
yer Wilderness. 1t was shaped like
great anger and extended from the
point where the funnel or rope had
been connected with the cloud forward
in the direction the cloud was moving.
All around 1t was In wild commotion,
but the spiral itself seemed to stand
like a great white ribbon coiled auger
shape and fixed secure This spiral at
the time / caught sight of it was lying
in a nearly horizontal position, the for
ward end being only slightly elevated.
I have never met any one who has
seen this spiral in the tornado cloud,
but by one who came dangerously near
being caught by a passing tornado 1
was told that the center Of the whirl-
ing funnel was as white as milk. From
his statement, taken in connection
with my own observations, I have
formed the opinion that the center Of
all tornadoes is perfectly shaped cleo
trical spiral and that when in opera
ton it connects the earth with the
cloud. 1t is manifest that such spiral
would give the middle of the tornado
funnel a white appearance. But it is
not likely that one looking at it in its
upright form would detect its spiral
form. Indeed. 1t would have TO turn
itself in a most favorable position in
order to reveal to the eye of the OBJ
server its spiral form.-Scientific Amer

The place where it Reims cathe-

thedral in France that can equal it in
wealth, in extravaganza, in gorgeous

Dame of Paris, while something like it
in general design, is of Puritan sim
plicity beside the facade of Notre
Dame Of Reims. No other west doors
are more deeply recessed, more richly
charged with sculpture. row upon row,

Unexpectedly Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on so large and imposing scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward in such high, acute angles. No
other show such an enlargement of
figures and traceries. And the great,
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery Of kings
