Magazine REVIEW.
The Express Business.

Mr. Albert w. Atwood, writing in
the March American Magazine, turns
the full light Of publicity on the ex-
press business in this country and the
operations Of the express companies,
six of whom control 90 pei cent, Of it.
Mr.. Atwood claims that an express COM
pany is a common carrier aud that
the privileges of doing an express bus
mess belong to the people and not to
the railroads who get 40 per cent. Of
the express eompainy's profits for per
hitting them to operate. Says Mr. At
wood:
Railways, as we know, are public
highways, and the right to construct,
maintain and operate them is fran
chise which can be exercised only by
legislative authority Therefore, the
state may regulate them to the extent
OF the public interest But this is not
all. The railways have had conferred
upon them a certain portion of the SOW
ereignty Of the state-the right of emf
ment domain, which is the right TO take
property. even against the viii Of the
owner. Now, the highest courts have
decided that a railroad may permit sub
ordinate agencies to carry on certain
OF its functions. But that very per-
mission measures the rights, liabilities
and duties Of the express companies by
those OF the railroad lines over which
they operate. Within its limited sphere
the express company, say the courts,
bears the same relation TO the public as
does a railroad The fountain cannot
rise higher than its source.
Beyond discussion. then. is the right
OF the state to regulate railroads, and
consequently. express companies. In
deed. 1t is one Of the fundamentals Of
our law. The state Confers a portion
OF its sovereignty upon these agencies
OF its creation, but it does not surren-
der or abdicate that sovereignty. The
grant of eminent domain implies beyond
all else that rates shall he reasonable
and free from discrimination,
at may even be maintained that ex-
press companies owe greater duties to
the public than do the other common
carriers. such as the railroads, for they
are engaged in business in which the
government itself Is engaged to a large
extent The express companies COM

transporting Of small packages, bus
mess which the post Office carries on.
But the post office runs at loss,
whereas the express companies make an
enormous profit and are enabled 10
do so only because they use the public
highways which were established for
public purposes.
Indeed, it is understood that ex.
press companies. which make fiat rate

thousand packages for business houses,

in express cars, the postal rates. Of
course, being the same for all dis
tances. The relation existing between
the post Office and the express COM
panies is truly a remarkable one Tho
very least to be said in regard to this
situation is that when an individual
takes upon himself function of tho
state, power of the government. and
exercises it for his own advantage. he
assumes serious responsibilities Of pub
lie service"

This Affords an Opportunity for

Every organ in the body gets its
nourishment from the blood.
When the blood becomes thin and
weak, the body is in a condition which
doctors call ''anRmic. Every organ

THE ANGLE OF REP0SE.

The angle of repose is a well known
term in the science of mechanics. but.
besides being used in purely theoret-
teal problems, is taken into account 5y
railroad and other engineers Suppose
that we take a brick and lay it on
board and then gradually raise one
end of the board There win be a Ger.

brick will not remain at rest on the
board. but will start to slide down.
This is termed the angle of repose OF
the brick on the board 1t is at that
point where the component of force
due to gravity overcomes the resist
ance due to friction between the two
surfaces Therefore the angle de.
ponds entirely on the friction. Eric

tact. So the angle Of repose Of brick
on a pine board would be different
than its angle of repose on an iron
board, say.
Now for the application of this in
ordinary life When a railroad cut has
to be made the sides have to be sufi-
GENTLY slantlng to keep the earth or
clay from caving in. The same APP
plies when a ditch is dug or when for

The angle necessary for this is of
