brought to realize how old are the poli- cies of government by bringing to light an inscription written upon monument of Babylon 225O years before Christ, re- lating to the laws of that period. In it there were some regulations of the business of transportation. For example,: Section 271 If man hire an oxen, wagon and driver. he shall pay 1so K A. of grain per day. Section 272. If he hire wagon only, he shall pay K. A. of grain per day Section 276. If man hire sailboat he shall pay 2h S. E. of silver per day its hire Section Z17. If a man hire a boat of 60 Cur. ton- nage he shall pay one-sixth of a shekel of silver as it's hire per day From which 1t appears. as it was quoted in the United States Senate to show, that government had been engaged in the supervision of the charges of carriers before the He brew decologue and before the days of Abraham And in the history of that great ration from which we sprung and whose literature and laws we have in herited there is found so early even as the reign of William and Mary that parliament passed laws regulating the charges of common carriers. The simi- iarity of conditions is plainly shown by the preamble to the act. which reads: And whereas divers waggoners. and other carriers by a combination among them selves. have ralSed the price Ol cdrIifSe If goods in many places to excessive rates and to the great injury of trade etc.
 ..Over 200 years ago Lord Hale an- nounced the doctrine that when private property is affected with a public use it ceases to be juris privau only This doctrine the supreme court of the Cni- ted States in the Granger cases declared to be the law of this country-that whenever one deyotes his property to a use in which the public has an in- terest. he in effect grants to the pub lie an interest in that use, and must submit fo be controlled by the public for the common good.
 Even More Essential Today
 The conditions and the principles on which these anciently established and necessary prerogatives of govern ment rest exist today and the right to exercise them is even more essential. AS methods of transportation have i'm proved the necessity to use them under reasonable regulations has proportion .ately increased. Development beyond the village state Is impossible for any inland eommunity without railroad and like development is similarly inn possible with eNtortionate and unregu- lated charges for the services of that railroad.

ALTITUDE AND THE VOICE
Races Living in LoftIer Countries
Speak In Higher Tones, As
Rule.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those liv-
ing in regions where the supply of
oxygen is more plentiful.
Thus, in South America, among
the Indians living on the plateaus
between the ranges of the Andes, at
an elevation Of from 10000 to A.
900 feet, the men have voices like
women, and the women like chill
dren, their singing being a shrill
monotone.
The Australian native have a
weak voice, but a knack Of sending
it a long distance, and the lowest
tribes of African Bushmen would
come into the same category; but,
it is said, of all human beings, the
pygmies of central Africa have, in
point of volume and compass, the
weakest of human voices.-HarpeTs

SUNDAY SCHOOL STILL LIVES.

Are things going to the bad when
General Secretary Marion Lawrence
is able to report to the International
Sunday School convention in San
Francisco a Sunday school attend
ance in this country only few thou
sands short of 100000? Since
the last convention, three years ago,
the increase in enrolment has been
1,431, O06-itself not a bad sign. In
the numerous new organizations be-
ing planned for the church, the Sum
day school remains the best as well
as the Oldest, rightly styled the
strong right arm of the church.

ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR.

We have comparatively new
trouble with our teeth in which the
teeth loosen in the jaw without ap-
parent cause and drop out, leaving
the dentist in mystery. In these re-
cent years the general tendency to-
ward badness has been marked as
unusually apparent. Are the electric
waves used night and day in wire
less telegraphy cause?
Professor Hensingmuller suspects
they may be. The effect of cleo
trolysis is marked as it escapes from
the cables of power station. He
says that in the sending of wireless
message only one mile, that portion
of the electrical energy used is only
1-3OO,OO0,OOOths of the energy ex-
pended. The rest goes into the air.

FEARED LIVING BURIAL.

A weird incident occurred lately
in the cemetery of Pausa, village
in SaIony. The clergyman of the
parish was preaching a funeral ser
mon at the grave of a seven-year-
old girl when he astonished the
mourners by asserting that he had
dreamt that the girl was not really
dead. The clergyman called upon the
pall-bearers to open the coffin, and
although they at first declined final
ly yielded. The clergyman ap-
preached the corpse, but after wait
ing in vain for the body to show
signs of life, allowed the coffin to be
lowered into the grave.

laTTLEsHIP or THE FUTURE
May Be ekpntlc Submarine Capable
Of Dlvid Below Surface After
Firing Broadslde.

Albert Knox, discussing in The
Navy the necessity of a new style of
~arship, says that if modern steel
protective armor has failed to an
swer the purpose for which it was
manufacturers fact that seems to
have been demonstrated beyond dis
pute byHhs experiments on the San
Marcos1then heavily armored ships
of war may soon be things of the
PAST and modern battleships must
seek new means and methods Of pro-
lection from the attack Of, or while
attacking, an equal or superior en-
envy. Among the methods might be
suggested increased speed, greater
accuracy of gunfre (if possible),
shortened time for finding range.
Even with these points of superior
ity the future battleship needs as a
requirement of paramount impor-
lance the ability to hide or to be-
come invisible to the enemy. OF
course this requirement can only be
met by the future Dreadnought be-
ing gigantic submarine capable of
diving below the surface of the sea
after firing a broadside and reap
pearing in an unexpected place. That
such battleships will be built within
the coming century is entirely with
in the range of probability.

MORE NURTURE THAN NATURE
Character Depends Especially on Ones
surroundings, His Conduct and
His Habit.

A Chicago preacher gives this
definition Of character: "The mu-
tual product of nature and nurture,
with more of nurture than Of ma
ture." Ones surroundings, his con-
duct, his habit, are more important
than his ancestry and his blood. We
note this every day-how children Of
alleged blooded stock drop out Of
the race and other fellows, with no
heredity behind the old cottage or
dusty shop, forge ahead. If there
is spirit in mans blood he is all
right. He will win. But this blood
may have been pounding nails or
hoeing corn Cor fifty years before.
1t is the knack of getting at q
thing that tells, and when one stops
to count the profit Of it he will like
ly fail 1t is the doing of the thing
unselfshly and almost blindly that
commands success. Let any man go
over his life and pick out some work
or success that he is proud of, and
he will find he didn't think it out,
but rather strayed into it; saw an
opening and wandered in. That is
why so many poor boys get rich
they had to do something, and did
it.-Ohio State Journal.

COTTON STANDARDS.


The desirability of establishing a
uniform basis for cotton grading has
long been recognized by a great ma
jority of those interested in the cotton
industry, and an act of congress, June
80, 1909, authorized the secretary of
agriculture to establish a standard of
nine different grades. to wit:
/. Middling.
.. Strict Apod middling
3. Good middling.
4. Strict middling.
8. Middling.
6. Strict low middling.
Z. Low middling.
s. Strict good ordinary
8. Good ordinary.
A committee of cotton experts were
called to assist the secretary of agri-
culture in preparing samples of the
nine different grades and the depart
ment of agriculture now announces
that it has a number of sets of sam
Piles for distribution. The price is $35
per set and the department is without
to dispose of them otherwise
than by sale.
The Galveston cotton exchange has
formally adopted the grades and a
number of the more important ex-
changes have already adopted these
standards. -Commercial Secretaries

The editor of The Eagle went out
into the country yesterday and exam
ined several upland fields OF cotton
but found no worms or weevils. In an
auto spin down to Pitts Bridge no sign
of the depredationc of insects in the
cotton fields of the bottom was seen.
The worst feature observed was the
willing of the leaves in some OF the
fields in the sandy land, caused by the
drouth and intense heat. But the
drouth and heat seem to have put the
insects out of business, temporarily,
at least
