rate their timber holdings in the
state to the extent of $500 for the

Employers Liability Commission.

The employers liability COM
mission will present its final report
to the two houses of congress in
January. 1t will embody a bill
providing a graduated scale oi
compensation through government
instrumentality for injuries to en-
ployes CT railroads engaged in
interstate commerce.
The bill was drawn by Senator
Sutherland, chairman Of the COM
mittee, and he will introduce it in
the senate. Representative Brant-
ley of Georgia, member of the
committee, will present both the
bill and the report in the house.
The preparation of the bill is the
result of constant labor by the COM
mittee since its origin almost a
year ago.
During the last of the series of
hearings, which closed recently.
representatives of union labor gen.
orally indorsed the measure, while
the attorneys of the roads indicated
satisfaction with the proposed law.
Senator Sutherland estimates
that the proposed bill will entail
an expense of about $500, 900 on
the part of the government, but
says much of this amount will be
compensated for by the curtail-
ment of expenses in the courts
under the present system of COL
lecting damages under the COM
bination law.
The aggregate cost to the rail-
roads of the compensation pro-
posed is placed at about SIS, 900. :
900. This is only SO, 900, 900 in
excess of the present outlay, but a
large percentage of payments now
made is expended in connection
with the litigation incident to the
collection.

RADIUM RAYS.
Their Velocity the Highest Known
Speed Of Matter In Motion.

Their Velocity the Highest Known
Speed Of Matter In Motion.
The earth travels in its orbit round
the sun nineteen miles a second. The
sun itself. like all the other stars, has
its own proper motion through space.
Some authorities have calculated its
speed at twelve miles u second. A
few stars move more slowly than this.
others much more rapidly. Arcturus
maintains a speed of not less than 100
miles q second. and the star called
"Groombridge 1880" travels $50 miles
in the same brief time.
But the speeds of the heavenly bod
les are slow compared with the mo
tions of the tiniest known particles OF
matter. The sun would seem TO stand
still could we compare its velocity with
that Of the radium rays" These ra-
diations are produced by successive ex-
plosions of tiny groups of the tiny
atoms of radium. The "alpha rays"
being themselves intinitesimaI frag-
ments of matter. are thrown out with
a velocity of perhaps $1,000 miles a
second The "beta rays travel still
faster.
In the emanations of this wonderful
radium we find the highest known
speed of matter in motion. At $4,000
miles a second 1t would take little
more than two seconds for a particle
of matter to travel all the way round
the earth. Look at your watch and
note the duration of two seconds; then
imagine that In a chariot drawn by
.alpha rays" you have been round the
world. There Is hardly time in two
seconds for you to think the journey.
The highest measured speed. how
ever. Is not the speed Of matter. but
the speed of that etheric vibration
which we call light And light trav-
els at the rate of 10000 miles sec

The Idaho Washington Boundary.

In accordance with a provision of
the sixtieth congress In the sundry

DEATH BY FALLING.
Pain and Fear Seem to Have No Place
In the Ordeal.

In the Ordeal.
1t Is difficult to imagine q more hor.
rible accident than falling with 40
airship. yet in the opinion OF Ger
man psychologist. Fritz Kahn, death
resulting from such a fall ia not ex-
ceptionally painful. says the New
York Evening Post. He argues that
It is likely to be met In a state OF In.
difference or even IN agreeable half
conscious condition Of mind. He wit
messed the fall Of Helm-a fall which
lasted number of seconds. as the
airship fluttered to and fro like q
piece of paper before the final descent.
The distance was about eighty yards.
On recovering consciousness after sev-
eral days Helm remembered only the
ascent. Everything between that and
his awakening in the hospital was
blank.
Mountain climbers have had similar
experiences. A French geologist who
fell over a precipice attests that he
swooned and never knew what. hap
pened. Whymper. on the other hand,
remained fully conscious when he fell
on the Matterhorn. Bounding from
rock to rock, he calculated the inter-
vals between the shocks, wondered
how long he could stand 1t, felt no
pain and came to the conclusion that
death through fall must be one Of
the least disagreeable ways of ending
ones life. A boy Of eight who fell
twenty-five yards declared that his
only thought was that he might lose
his new pocketknife
At a meeting of the Swiss Alpine
club the geologist Helm described his
feelings during q full. His first
thought was that now he would be
unable to deliver the address he had
promised; then he thought of the ef-
feet on his family of the news of his
death. He waited to take or his spec
tacles to save his eyes from being
damaged by broken glass. Various
scenes from his past life fitted across
his consciousness In rapid succession.
There was no fear. no pain, but rather
an agreeable state of mind. like that
which Is brought on by soft music.

of 1.-The Thunderer." Two ladies' at
Kew had been splashed by an unman-

strong leader alleging the offender to
have been the Duke Of Cumberland.
In due course It was found that the
horseman was not the duke, and In

public that the name of ''Thunderer"
was bestowed on the paper forthwith.
