SOIL particles and the flbers of the

lions or Influences draw II away. Cap
lllarity In science is not considered
as one of the natural forces, yet 1t is
so nearly akin to the forces that, for
practical working purposes. 1t might
be called one.
Capillarity is sometimes called sur.
face tension, since water tends TO
cling to the surface of things II
touches. The oil in the lamp rises, or
Is drawn, up to the burner on the sur
face of the finest threads composing
the lamp wick If marble, a piece
OF stone, piece of wood or iron be
immersed in water the surface will
be made wet; or, in other words, the
water clings to the surface of the
objects by surface tension, an inner
ent attraction between the water and
the surface of the objects which II
vets. If bale OF hay or a bag OF
grain is left standing on the damp
ground, the hay or grain will become
moist through capillary action or sur.
face tension.
Through capillary action or surface
tension, then the hill is able to hold
| hundreds or thousands of tons of wa
ter from winter rains and melted
SHOWS after the hill has run dry in the
spring, to feed the trees, grass or
growing crops upon it. Every stone
and every little soil particle in the
hill will hold this precious store Of
water in the bosom OF the hill just as
long as 1t can and they will not give
up the water they hold till other con
ditions or forces stronger than they
force them to do SO.
In very large hill much moisture
can be found by digging after it has
ceased to rain or snow for many
months and the brook at its base has
become dry and parched for very
long time.

EARLY MEDICATION FOR IN
SURGENT AMENDMENT.

The insurgents in Congress have re
ceived early vindication for their in
sistence on a provision IN the new rate
bin giving the Interstate Commerce
Commission power TO suspend railroad
rates pending an inquiry as to their
reasonableness- The vindication comes
in the form Of a press dispatch from
Chicago. The little news item speaks
eloquently:
CHICAGO, IL, July 14-Shippers in
the Missouri river territory are prepaT-
ing 10 file with the Interstate Com
nerce Commission TepaTatlon claims
acgregating $4,000, and based upon the
decision Of the commission and OF The
Supreme Court in the Burnham-Han-
nah-Munger rate case
The claims viii date back TO October
10 1908 and the shippers viii endeavOr
to collect the differences between the
rates charged by the railroads and the
rates that were prescribed by the com
mission and the courts These dir
ferenceS amount to from 9 cents per 100
pounds on firSt-claSS commodities to
1 cent on the lowest class, and apply
10 all shipments that have been made
from all territory east Of Buffalo and
pittsb1.rz to the Missouri river cities
II is admitted that the shippers may
renaratiOn, IN view Of the fact that
when the case was begun before the
commission reparatiOn was not re-
qUested-
In October, 1905, nearly two years
ago, the shippers-who were wholesale
dry goods dealers-Objectrd 20 the
rates between tl.e Mississippi and SIS
souri, rivers on shipments from At
Iantie seaboard points. They took
their case before the Interstate Com
merce Commission and a reduction was
ordered The railroads appealed to the

( In the meantime, however, the rail
roads have been going right along

course now open to the shippers Is tC

Court has told the shippers the rate

was too high, and that they need not
pay II, but, unfortunately, the rail-
roads have the money, and in this
case it's possible that possession viii
prove nine points of the law.
The most interesting ph, Sc of the
situation produced by the proposed suit
OF Western shippers is found in the
reflection that the insurgents in Con
gress experienced the greatest difficulty
IN having the rate suspension pro-
vision included in the new law Leaders
of the Republican regulars resisted the
demand to the last possible moment
and then sought by every means TO
bring about compromise which would
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion as little authority as possible As
finally enacted, the rate suspension
clause fell below the effective provisions
desired by the Republican independ-
ents. BY just that much it was less
Objectionable to the railways, and less
advantageous TO shippers and con-
sumers.
