"The rolling stock of the roads
is in deplorable condition, and
the managers are unable to fill
the strikers positions with COM
petent men. Passenger trains
are running from half an hour to
20 hours late, and the schedule
for freight movements is only a
memory. Trains are running
with double engines, and are still
unable to make their time.
THE roads have plenty of men,
but skilled mechanics are the ex-
ception. Thousands of dollars a
day are being paid to these men,
with practically no return for the
money. Every shop is practically
a free boarding house for the
trike-breakers, and road officials
are getting very tired of being
clearinghouse keepers.
They are trying to arrange
matters so the strike-breakers can
board and lodge outside the shops
and also purchase provisions.
They point.out to business houses
that this arrangement will result
in larger sales, and will benefit
them. In reality the road is max

BODY IS BAROMETER
SpecuIations Regarding Effects
of Surroundings Upon Man.
German Professors Paper, Entitled
"The osopsyohic Phenomena" Has
Made Great stir In European
Scientific Circles.

Berlin.--Prof. w. Hellpach, OF
Karlsruhe, has published the results
Of the first all-round inquiry ever
made into the problem: How far are
the brain and temperament OF man
dependent upon natural surround
ings?"
His report, entitled THE Geopsychic
Phenomena" has made a great stir In
scientific circles. owing to the bold
theses of the professor, who depicts
humanity as mere vitalized baron
eter. which reacts necessarily to the
stimulus of external forces, but has
little Independent control over Its
own movements.
Landscape, says Hellpach. is of in
Hnitely greater Importance than eli
mate In forming national character
The idea that climate is more import
ant Is a delusion. "In the United
States the fantastic mountain world
OF the great west will In time create
different and much more imaginative
race than that which exists in the
level east and south. At present
Americas population Is. too much In
state of fiux to allow of this difference
being determined, but the change is
going on" America will thus In the
future have two populations of entire
" different psychical inclinations and
characteristics.
