THE DOUGLAS PINE.
A Tree That Is the Memorial Both o.
Man and q Tragedy.

A Tree That Is the Memorial Both of
Man and a Tragedy.
A tree whose name is at once the
memorial both Of a man and a tragedy
is the Douglas pine, famous for it's
magnificent cones. Now, David Doug
las was originally a Scotch lad who
came under the notice of Sir William
Hooker, the well known botanist, and
through his influence was appointed
collector of rare plants to the Horti-
cultural society. He Travelled for the
society in all parts of the world and
was extraordinarily successful in his
finds. 1t was he who discovered lu-
pins, eschscholtzias and godetias as
well as many magnificent varieties of
pine trees, including the one bearing
his name. But wien quite a young
man he met tragic fate while plant
hunting. He was in the Sandwich
isles, and there the natives dig deep
pits to catch wild animals, covering
them over with branches and grass to
conceal their openings. On to one Of
these treacherous pits Douglas walked
one day when alone and was at once
precipitated to the bottom. No help
was at hand. and he was devoured by
a wild beast which was also impris-
oned.

Will Act as Board of Arbitra-
ton for Railroad Men
And Shippers.
THE PLAN is APPROVED.
RAILROAD MEN BELIEVE THAT
MUCH OF THE PRESENT MIS-
UNDERSTANDING WILL BE
DONE AWAY WITH.

New York, July pa committee of
arbitration to decide the differences
between the railroads of the eastern
trunk line system and the organized
bodies of manufacturers and shippers
which have arisen over the proposal
to increase the rate on class freights,
is now in process Of formation.
This committee will consist of fiji
teen men, named by the representa-
tives of twenty business associations
Of the west and middle west, and fiji
teen business men selected by the rail-
roads.
Shippers Representatives Named.
The representatives of the shippers
associations have already been select
ed, but the personnel of the committee
las not been made public. Before
the railroads make their selection they
will wait to see the personnel of the
shippers fifteen.
This joint committee of thirty will
hold several meetings and will go over
the entire freight rate situation, to the
end that some amicable arrangement
may be made which will satisfy both
the railroads and the shippers, who
have protested against the proposed
increase in rates. This Is the first
real step that has been taken towards
a thorough discussion of the subject
Railroad Men Like Plan.
Railroad men and shippers of this
city say more real good can be accom-
plished through the deliberations of
such joint committee than in any
other way
Coming on the heels of the an
nouncement from Washington that
President Roosevelt had instructed the
interstate commerce commission to
hold itself in readiness to act imme-
diately upon the proposed new tariffs
when filed, this latest phase of the
rate question has given shippers hope.
May Report on Commission.
Whether the joint committee .of
thirty will make report to the inter-
state commerce commission has not
been announced. but it is likely that
such report will be made.
1t also came out that no new freight
rate tariffs would be filed by the New
York Central until Nov. 1. which will
give ample time for the joint commit
tee to go over the whole question and
reach a decision. That the railroad
will abide by the decision Of the COM
mittee of thirty is beyond doubt, rail-
road men say.
The announcement by the interstate
commerce commission that it would
begin at once to get in touch with the
rate situation, anticipating the new
and higher rate on class freights, is
viewed in friendly attitude by the
railroad men.

A SILENT TONGUE.
There Are Times When 1t Is the Part
of Wisdom Not to Talk.

There Are Times when 1t Is the Part
of Wisdom Not to Talk.
The best of us talk too much. THE
man who knew.
Many reputation has been built on
silence. Many a one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and volubly into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when your
words would wound. Faithful are the
wounds of a friend" says the old prov
erb, but one wants to be mighty sure
ones friend needs the wounding and
that we are qualified to administer 1t.
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An incred-
IDLE amount Of breath is used in the
evil practice of trying to make our
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose of exalt-
ing yourself.
Shut your lips with a key when you
are inspired to babble incontinently of
yourself-your ailments, accomplish
ments, relations, loves, hatreds, hopes
and desires. 1t Is only to the choice,
rare friend that one may speak of
these things without becoming a fool

Amount Of Rainfall Over the Earth.

The discussion of observations on
rainfall made first by Sir John Murray
and later by Bruckner and Fritsche
permits an estimation to be made Of
the mean rainfall on continents, which
Is found to be about thirty inches per
year. The rainfall on the ocean is
more difficult to measure, but it has
been estimated by Supau, and Fritsche.
taking account of all the known facts,
estimates the mean annual rainfall for
the entire surface of the earth at about
thirty-six inches. Making use Of this
number, it is easy to calculate that the
total rainfall amounts to 464 million
millions of metric tons per year, 1872
thousand millions of tons per day,
$1,000 millions Of tons per hour, $685.
100000 tons per minute or Is 900, 900
