the old fight between the railroad
companies and the Indiana railroad

however, they have been getting along
pretty we'll, this being partially due
to the fact it is said. that no cases
of great Importance have been before
the commission.
However at this juncture the rail
road companies have decided to con
test the headlight decision in the
courts and the shippers as stated in
a previous article have decided tc

for a fine crop of apples this year. The

state that when the temperature goes

When You Can't Sleep.

There Is al odd theory, which many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless. that sleeplessness may often
be cured in the following odd way:
Move your bed out into the room so
that no part Of bed or covers will touch
the wall. Then place under each caster
Of the bed piece OF rubber or a rub
Der overshoe or set the caster in q
thick glass dish. Then go to bed. max
ing sure the covers do not touch the
wall. Thus the bed and yourself will
be cut of from all electric contact with
floor or wall. Such absence Of electric
contact, it Is claimed. will make you
sleep better. 1t is said to have cured
stubborn cases Of insomnia.

EARLY BAllOONING.
Some Odd Ideas That Prevailed In the
Eighteenth Century.

Some Odd Ideas That Prevailed In the
Eighteenth Century.
As far back as 1914 the American
public were led to believe that the
Atlantic had been crossed in a bal
loon. On May IS in that year the
New York Sun published detailed
account Of an aerial voyage from Liv-
erpoOl to Charleston. which purported
to have been accomplished by the
steering balloon Victoria in a period of
seventy-fve hours from land to land"
Five columns were devoted to the de-
scription of the journey and to sci
entific account Of the balloon. of
which a woodcut was given, and an
air Of verisimilitude was added by a
list Of eight passengers, one Of the
names mentioned being that OF Iarri-
son Ainsworth, who was then at the
height Of his fame.
At the end of the eighteenth century
balloons were all the rage Then, as
now. enthusiasts predicted time near
at hand when war would either be an
awful matter Of the humiliation Of
armies and forts by bombs from above
or would cease altogether through the
abolition of frontiers and the fusion
of nations. Prophecy went even fur
Their.
Canals and roads were to vanish and
the space occupied by them to be re.
stored to agriculture. And ships Of
any still existed when caught in a
storm would be grappled by the mast
from balloons above and safely con-
veyed into port or even carried over
mountain ranges.-Chicago News
