EXPRESS COMPANIES OPERATING
IN MICHIGAN WILL NOT
SUFFER UNDER NEW
LAW.

VIII the express companies operat-
ing in Michigan suffer greatly by the
new schedule Of rates which will be
put in effect by the state railroad COM
mission Aug. 2?
Figures obtained from the offices Of
the state railroad commission show
that for the fiscal year ending June
so. 1910, the six companies operating
i'm this state Declared dividends
amounting to $6I61 500. and in add-
ton TO this amount they laid aside a
total surplus of $3.50, SO152 With this
amount of profit for a single year it
looks as though the 20 per cent aver
age reduction Which the companies
win suffer when the new schedule Of
rates goes into effect will not cripple
them, as some of their representa-
tivcs said at the session of the legis-
lature when the bill providing for the
new rates was passed.
Michigan Is Fortunate.
There are fourteen states that at the
present time are having litigation with
express companies overt the matter of

tempted to place the new schedule of
rates in effect and in each case were
met with opposition. The state rail-
road commission of Michigan has not
met with this opposition, however, and
Michigan today stands out as the only
state in the union that has successful
ly put the new rates ito effect without
litigation. OF course the companies will
fight the new Moriarty- james bill
which provided for a fat rate of %
cents on all packages weighing 10
pounds or under. II is expected that
litigation on this bin will be COM
menced the first week in August.
Companies Make Money.
AS an indication that the express
companies are making money under
the existing rates the following figures
are given:
The Adams Express company in 1903
declared a dividend of $1,200000. The
American Express company i'm the

czARlNA's ICE PALACE.
The building and All the Furnishings
Were of Ice.

the use of ice for architectural pur-
poses is an art that has been carried
to a high state of perfection in north
ern countries. and some almost incred
ible feats have been accomplished IN
this curious branch Of industry.
Probably the most remarkable build
ing constructed wholly of ice was the
palace built on the Neva by Czarina
Anne of Russia in 1899. The first at
tempt to construct this building was
unsuccessful, as the slabs of ice were
too thin, and the building collapsed In
the first thaw.
Subsequently large blocks of ice
were cut and squared with great care
and laid on one another by skilled ma
sons, who cemented the joints witt
water. which Immediately froze. The
building, when completed, was So fee

of but one story.
The facade contained a door sur
mounted by an ornamental pedimen
and six windows, the frames and
panes of which were all ice, An elab'
crate balustrate adorned with statues
ran along the top of the facade and
another baustrade surrounded the
building at the level of the ground
Tho side entrances to the inclosurC
were nanked with pillars supporting
urns, the latter containing orange
trees. whose branches, leaves and
flowers were all of ice.
Hollow pyramids of ice on each side
of the building contained lights by
night. The grounds were further
adorned with life size figure of an
elephant, with his mahout on his
back. A stream of water was thrown
from the elephants trunk by day and
flame of naphtha by night.
A tent of ice contained hot BATH in
which persons actually bathed. There
were also several cannons with NOR
tars of ice, which were loaded with
bullets of ice and iron and discharged
