Herodotus tells us that the knives
used by the Egyptian surgeons were
made of stone. The first mention Of
knives anywhere speaks of them as
being Of stone, so they must date back
to an ancient epoch.

A GREAT ADVANCE.

II is plain that the railroad bill which
has just been reported to both houses
Of Congress- from the conference com
nlittee marks q great step forward In
the federal regulation of railroads. The
powers and duties of the Interstate
Commerce Commission are enormously
increased. The attitude of the law
toward the railroads is in important re-
spects totally changed. This change is
Illustrated in the section which gives
the commission authority TO suspend in
cleases IF rates and 10 approve or reject
them The attitude of the law has been
this: Railroads are free TO make their
own rates. and those rates are assumed
to be Just unless complaint is made
against them in case of complaint the
commission investigates and determines
whether the rate complained of is just
or not. and if not names one that is

The advance in the policy of regu-

agitation and excitement that its
significance is likely to escape notice.
But we hope il Will receive due atten-
