that a certain rate fixed by statute
would not yield fair return. viii re-

that have been urged by lobbyists
against the establishment of a public
commission should 1t be established
The decision not only recognizes the
right of states TO fix rates charged by
public service commissions, but out
lines the plan that shall be followed
in determining whether or not rate

can not be included.

CHEAPER AUTOMOBILES.

The great automobile show is on IN
New York and thousands from all
parts are flocking there to see the

are going up to take look. The
New York World in an editorial TO-
day has the following on the future
OF automobiles:
The doom of high automobile prices
has sounded. One can buy a better
car today for 81, 500 than he could

Automobile building was more or

science When the modern car is
turned out of the shop the makers
know that it will run, and run well.
Close watching OF the performances
of the earlier machines has pointed
out the defects of construction. These
have mostly been remedied. Shops are
better equipped now. Cylinders, crank
shafts, axles, gears and the Ike are
made i'm great quantities by special
machinery. The cost of labor and ma
terials has been much reduced by

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
What the Sailor Will Do to Obtain
Shore Leave.

AS illustrating how men respond and
adjust themselves TO reward, or, what
comes to the same thing, the maximum
fort, two instances that came under
my observation while in the navy are
very interesting. One cruise was made
on vessel whose executive officer was
In most respects very able man.
Discipline in general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave OF the
enlisted men, however. he managed so
to arrange matters, strange as 1t may
seem, that it was possible for a man
In an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one of the best be-
baved men. This was of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination of two separate systems
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving of at least a GER
tain amount of shore leave to men In
the second grade, while the system he
was using actually allowed less to
man in the first grade. The result was
that in a short time the bulk or the
men were in the second conduct graue
where they could get the most liberty.
At a later date, on another ship, the
executive officer was an extremely
able man. who had studied this ques-
ton more carefully and was great
believer in making it worth while for
the men to behave themselves anG
keep in high conduct grade. He so
arranged matters that if any man be-
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount OF
liberty The result was that this ship
had more than half its crew In what
is known as the special first class,
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation

AT an informal meeting of the as
Economical section Of the Maryland
Academy of Sciences, in Baltimore, a
discussion of Halley's comet was the
feature. A series of lantern slides
showing the relative opsition of the
comet to the sun and the earth at its
various stages were displayed.
At present Halley's comet is esti-
mated to be 617, 100000 miles from the
sun and 6s2 600 900 miles from the
earth The movement of the earth and
the comet is toward one another to a
greater degree than the movement OF
the comet toward the sun.
Owing to the great advances in as

the comet will be made this winter.
1t will be visible here next July. The
comet was last seen in 1885, and at
