was an increase in tota earnings
OF s302.711.37 over March OF last

When asked as TO the cause for a
steady and heavy increase In earn
ngs. President Stevens said that
large movements OF coal and lum-
Der was the cause. About seventy
five per cent OF the total freight of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway is
included in these two commodities.
Owing to the increasing move
ment of these two commodities as
well as all other kinds of fire ght
the mechanics employed in the shops
of the company from Newport News

ing the large number at Richmond,
"a tota OF about $500, will go or

means a nne hour day every day ex-
cept Saturday. when all the shops

From these statements t seems
probable that the May meeting OF

Leonhard Euler, who was born In
1907 and died IN 1888 at ST. Peters
burg. where he spent his life as a
teacher OF great power and as a pro
lific writer. was an instance OF the
genuine mathematician endowed with
almost superhuman powers. He left
more than 200 manuscript treatises on
his favorite subject. and the bulk Of
the works published by his academy
between 1927 and 1888 were from his
pen. In his old age he was totally
blind. Then be carried in his memory
a table OF the first six powers OF the
"series OF natural numbers up TO 100"
It is related that on one occasion
two OF Euler's students attempted to
calculate a convergiDg series. AS they
advanced they found they disagreed
in the result by a unit in the fifteenth
figure. The question was referred to
Euler, who decided to make the calcu-
lation. He did this mentally. and his
result was found to be correct-New

ATLANTIC. Ga, May 24-There is a
possibility to-day that the strike OF the

ernor Smith to-day called on the rail-
way company and the strikers each 20
name a committee Of three TO arbi-
trate and they will do so. In the
meanwhile strong pressure is being
brought to bear on the railway officials
to meet the demands Of the men and
stop employing negro iremen.

the north. which reached tho terminal
during the night were all diverted 70
other roads which are not affected
while all passengers and mails are be-
ing shifted by other roads.
There is a likelihood of forcible Fed
erat interference in the strike. Under
the recent instructions sent by the at
torney general TO the district attorney
at Macon, the Federal government put
itself on record as determining that
there should be no interference with the
United States mails.
The government is determined To
move the mails at all costs. and post
office officials have been instructed to
read the statutes forbidding interior
ence with the mails. TO all the strikers.
If any one then commits an overt act
the postofiice employees are TO report
him TO the United States district at

that help may be needed at any mo-
