Produce Shippers Don't Like to Paint
Their Egg Cases.
recent order made by the inter-
state commerce commission isn't be-
ing received with any great degree OF
fcrvor by the local shippers. This
order provides that every article re-
ceived for shipment must have stem
ciled or painted upon it the name and
address of the consignee. A tag won I
fill the provisions of the order, except
when the article of shipment is too
small to have the address painted upon
it. AS a penalty the carrier company
must place the article in class1f1ca-
ton one degree higher.
This in itself doesn't look very bad
But there are sometimes cases where
the shippers feel that are victims OF an
unjust ruling. The local produce mer-
chants are the chief agitators against
this ruling Egg cases as rule last
about a year. In this time they are
handled by perhaps thirty different
dealers. To have to have the name
of the consignee painted or stenciled
on them restricts their use and in
many cases renders them valueless.
Hence the kick.
The local shippers are not alone in
their complaints but in every other
shipping center the same rules apply.
The shippers organizations in the
larger centers have united in sending
protests to the commission and an
early repeal Of a portion of the man
date is expected.

years ago the golfers of Great Britain

pounds in token of their admiration
of his ability as the champion of the
world. Every day from the time he

Heye. There are now three different
classifcations in the country, the Off
cial which prevails in the eastern states,
the southern which governs freight
classification in the south and the west
ern which includes all the territory
west of Chicago. The changes that are
to be made in the rates Will be pri-
marily to make a uniform classification
which will prevail over all sections of
the country. This will necessitate max
ing the rates higher on some com
modities and lowering them on others.
In the main, however, I believe the
rates will be practically the same as
they are at present"
"A change of 10 per cent in many
cred by the official classification,
was announced effective De-
cember Is. 1t was then thought by
leading shippers that this would prove
the cue for subsequent raises through
out the country, and grave were their
fears. This, however, was frustrated
through the efforts of the interstate
commerce commission, and later
postponement of three months was an
nounced in order to allow of a revision
to confrom with the mandates of the
commission.
Should raise take place in the near
future, that is any substantial advance
in tariffs, the carriers will have to
bend their energies along different
lines. The freight departments of the
different railroads have been working
for several months, in the work of tar
iff revision, and are not through yet.
This is a big task, and sometimes
takes a year or more. On this account
the work is being done with thorough
ness and with a view of making the
rates as revised Withstand the effects

FIGURES ABOUT THE EARTH.

Through study and observation of
the volcanic outflow the geologist
knows to a close approximation the
earth's crust to depth of ten miles
below sea level. AS DR.. Frank w.
Clark, of the United States geological
survey, says, in his Data of Geo
chemistry" this thickness of ten
miles represents known matter" The
vastness of the figures necessary to
employ in the discussion of this ten
mile atmosphere. as 1t is termed, trans
cends ordinary human comprehension
The volume of this lithosphere, in
Guiding the continents elevated above
the sea. is 1.633,00e.00O cubic miles.
Each cubic mile of average rock
weights 12,800. 900 900 tons. Atlas
was therefore beyond question a very
strong man.
The volume OF the ocean is 3O2, ,000,-
600 cubic miles.
The atmosphere, reduced to liquid,
would equal 1.268,0OO cubic miles of
water. only one two-hundred- and -thir-
ty-sixth of the volume of the ocean;
yet this would be sufficient to raise
the level of the ocean forty-five feet
on all shores and to submerge a large
part of civilization.
One per cent of the water Of the
ocean would cover all the land areas
OF the globe to depth of 29O feet.
The salt In the ocean would make
100000 cubes each one mile in di.
mensions, which. IL spread over the
United States, would form a layer I.6
miles high.
