not appear in the volume. Considering the fact that the hgh-saa1iedl

TO make some futile recommendations to the railroad companies, which they
are perfectly free to disregard, the magnitude Of this annual report of 46
pages is extraordinary. In the general appropriation bill last year the COM
mission vas given $4,000 for salaries. In the supplemental appropriation by
the Legislature the amount as increased by $4,000 for salaries and ex-

THE LENGTH OF LIFE.

To the Editor or the Evening Star;
Is average length of life today greater
than 1t has been in the past?
READER.
1.-THE insurance tables of mortality
show that the average life is increas-
ing. The average mar of today lives
probably ten years longer than did such
man of two or three centuries back.
The fact that the average of life is
gaining is proof that the strain of mod
ern life is better for the human creature
than the less enterprising conditions of
the olden time. It has been proved
that the coats of mail of the old
knights are considerably too small for
the average man of the present time,
showing that civilization is better for
bodily development.-Ed.1
