Inere are those who do not see much
in the fraternal features OF the u. C. n.
or at least pretend they do not. but

TRIBUTE TO THE
TRAVELLING man
SOLE PRODUCER or BUSINESS
SAYS THE NASHVILLE TENNEs-
EAN--oNLY MAN OF INDUSTRY
AND INTEGRITY CAN SUCCEED
ON THE ROAD.

In speaking of a big parade of trav-
cling men at fair in its home town
the Nashville Tennesean pays the fol-
lowing tribute to the salesman OF the
road:
Manufacturers may spend millions
in plant and bank up products sky
high; jobbers may bring to a market
trainloads after trainloads of various
commodities; but not one atom of this
can be moved until the salesman, the
sole producer of business, takes up the
matter and has his say.
The commercial traveller, represent
ing the jobbing end OF business, Is the
right arm Of commerce-yes, more, he
Is the tongue and largely the heart of
trade. Upon his efforts depend the
profits Of the firm and every expense
from the salary OF the credit man in
his office, tearing out his hair trying
to decide whether to ship or turn down
an order from this salesman, to the
porter in the basement, sweating under
the burden OF trucking out the piles
Of goods distributed by the man on the
road.
Stop the statesmen, and the firemen
pank the ftres OF the industrial fur
naces, while the skilled mechanics slip
the bands from their pulleys and go
home to remain idle and live on what
they may have laid by. The mighty
moguls bringing into the city heavy
loads Of merchandise would move
slowly to the roundhouse and there
remain until the travelling man has
again been heard from.

the sanitary reformers for years. Peo-
pie need have something from which ia
drink The most careful attention
to washing does not free the train
drinking glass from disease germs. and
the only intelligent substitute for the
microbe-l laden glass il a cup made OF
sanitary paper sold cheap enough to
lead people to buy them for Individual
use on the train where railroad man
agements cannot be induced to provide
them
The announcement is made that the
latter plan Ia being taken by the more
enterprising railroads. The Lacka-
wanna road is providing an individual
cup made Of waxed paper which when
used once Is thrown away These cups
are held In a nickel plated tube near
the water cooler and the cup once re-
moved cannot be replaced. The instant
appreciation of the idea by the travel
Ing public will likely cause other roads
to adopt the plan.
The undoubted dissemination, of dis
ease by these promiscous drinking cups
should cause commercial travellers to
advocate and urge the paper cup for in
diVidual use and in the meantime they
would strengthen their position by
themselves carrying some kind OF an
individual drinking vessel for personal
use on the road.

meteorology. A severe electrical storm
spread over the country on mornine
Of Sept 25. That forecast was too
great a success not to have an import
ant bearing on planetary meteorology
II demonstrates first principles and is
too easily understood to be cried down
by those who will not see.
On Sept "a the earth passed between
Mars and the sun, or within one degree
Of straight line drawn from the sun
to the planet Mars. 1t is believed that
in accord with laws of magnetism. a
current of electricity passes from the
planets to the sun in straight lines
while magnetism passes from the sun
to the planets in spirals that encircle
the electric currents. These electric
currents from planet to sun carry mat
ter to be deposited on the sun and the
outward flow OF magnetism is the resi-
dual of the electric currents after the
matter has been taken from them. The
whole universe works under the same
magnetic laws and when the earth
passes between q planet and the sun,
or the sun between two planets. or a
planet between the earth and sun the
passing electric current is disturbed
and as all the bodies of the solar sys-
tenn are electrically connected every
such disturbance is felt throughout the
system.
Whenever the earth has heretofore
passed between Mars and the sun an
electric disturbance occurred on some
part of the earth. Such events oc-

demonstrated that similar astronomi-
