According to Henry Clews there seems
to be but one true solution of the an
tagonism between the railroads and
the people; that is the establishment
of some court or tribunal designed to
arbitrate and settle all such diferen-
ces. If such court could be devised,
securing fair treatment To the rail-
roads and just and reasonable rates to
shippers long step would be taken In
removing one of the most acute sources
of financial and political disquiet.

The Comets Tail.

The tail of a comet is composed of
gas. existing in q highly rarefied con-
dition. Little particles Of electricity
called corpuscles. or ions, are being
constantly given off at enormous
speed by the sun. Each meteorite in
the comets head is surrounded by its
own rarefied atmosphere. When one
of these little ions strikes one of the
molecules Of gas in the comets at.
mosphere, II carries 1t off with II to
form the tail. The electrical charge
makes the gas luminous. and II is by
this light, and not by reflected sun.

us. A comets tail. therefore, seems
to be merely very extended aurorea.

This was the fear expressed in a state
ment today by the state department.

law
Unless reciprocal tariff concessions
are made by the two countries, a num-
Der or important articles OF export
from the United States. which now en-
JOY low rates under the present con-
Ventional Japanese tariff, will have TO
pay considerably increased rates.
Although the treaty between Japan
ana the United States does not expire
until July, 1912. it contains no conven-
tional tariff arrangements whereas
those between Japan and other coun-
tries do; and for this reason the Unit
ed States, on July II. 1911, when the
treaties other than its own expire. must
pay the duties in so far as they are
enforced upon imports into Japan from
other countries.
