Perpetual Motion.

AS the term is generally under
stood, perpetual motion is the motion
of an engine which, without any sup
port or power from without, can not
only maintain it's own motion for
ever. but can also be applied to drive
machinery and therefore do external
work. In other words, it means a
device for creating power or energy
without corresponding expenditure.
This Is absolutely impossible, no mat
ter what physical forces be employed.
The quantity of force In existence be-
ing fixed, no new stock can be Great
ed, and therefore, a self-moving ma
chine is out of the question The
modern physical axiom. the conserva-
ton of energy, founded on experiment
tai bases as certain as those which
convince us OF the truth of the laws
OF motion. may be expressed In the
negative thus: Perpetual motion is
impossible.

would not be put off with short re-
plies.
"Eh-how do you manage to plant
on this hill?" he persisted
The farmer gazed at him pityingy.

earth with shotguns, stranger" he as
sured his guest.
The visitor gasped Really" he

his guest look Of whitening scorn.

Laugh on the Supreme Court

There is a quiet laugh going over
the capitol on the supreme court in
regard to the question of employees
salaries, which is now pending before
the court. The issue is whether the
help around the legislature whose pay
is on per diem basis can receive pay
for seven days in the week. Attorney
General Kuhn has held that they
cant.
An examination OF the record re-
veals the fact that for years previous
TO 1909 the court crier of the supreme
court, who was entitled to receive 30
per diem." was paid for 365 days in
the year, one chief justice after an
other certifying to the correctness OF
the voucher In 1909 the law was
changed so that the crier was put on
a yearly salary. but the fact remains
that for years an employee OF the
court was paid for seven days In the
week.

RATE INCREASE
DENIED ROADS
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY
SAYS EVIDENCE DOES NOT
JUSTIFY LIFT.
CARRIERS HAVE NOT SHOWN
THAT THEY HAVE USED
PROPER ECONOMY.
Carriers Are Required to Cancel Be-
fore March 10 Their Advanced
Tariff Rates.

Deciding the most important case
ever brought before It. the interstate
commerce commission pronounced
against the railroads, eastern and
western, in their attempt to boost
freight rates. Here is the decision
In nutshell:
which establishes the necessity for
higher rates. Before any general
advance can be permitted 1t must
appear with reasonable certainty
that carriers have exercised proper
economy in the purchase of their
supplies, in the payment of their
wages and in the general conduct OF
their business. There is no testi-
mony tending to show the cost oil
reproducing these properties. 1t is
plain that physical valuation would
introduce In the calculation new ele-
ment WHICH might lead to a different
conclusion. The conclusion reached
here extends, therefore. no further
than the facts Jon which 1t is based.
Proposed advances in class freight
rates in official classification territory.
aggregating among all the railroads
in the territory approximately s27.-
100000 year. were disapproved by
the commission.
In the case involving the increases
by the railroads in western trunk
line territory the commission also de-
clined to approve the proposed adj
vances in commodity rates.
The carriers in both cases are re-
luired to cancel on or before March
10 their advanced tariffs. and restore
their former rates, which are the
rates now in effect. Ii this require
ment is not complied with. the com
mission will issue a formal order sus-
pending the proposed advances and
putting into effect the existing rates
for at least two years
The decisions were In the nature OF
surprise to railroad officials and
other experts who had followed close
ly the proceedings majority of
whom believed the commission would
grant some Increase to the western
lines If not to the eastern

the case OF some of the roads an In

ing good dividends upon existing
rates, while other carriers in the
same territory were barely able to
make both ends meet-a few OF them
scarcely that.

Value Of AthIetics.

The person who undertakes to oe-
velop his muscles by entering the ath-
letic games gets pleasure as well as
benefit from his exercise. And the
pleasure adds directly to the benefit,
for pleasure in itself has positive
disease dispelling power Not only
will his muscles be trained. but his
eye and brain. He will learn the
value of steady, persistent effort as he
can hardly learn 1t elsewhere. He
will be taught self-reliance, even while
his egotism is kept BEAUTIFULLY in
check. In short. his training In ath-
letics will bring about coincident
mental development that will stand
him In hand in the classroom or
study, and in the practical affairs Of
life.-Dr. Henry s. Williams.
