 The careless handling of line of hose in connection with the testing of a hydrant in Main street resulted in the thorough soaking of a pasSerby and the inf1iction of two deep cuts in the mans right leg, one at the ankle and the other at the knee. The cuts were caused by the force of the heavy brass butt at the end of the testing hose. The accident was due to putting more pressure on the hose than the two men at the end of the line could hold, so they were forced to let go of the hose, and it was lashed about with great force until the water was shut off at the hydrant The injured man was coming out of nearby store when the accident occurred,

 There is a report Rome to the effect that the Italian government is contemplating the erection along the Campagna of mOnument to Wilbur Wright, bearing the simple inscription. ITO Wilbur Wright-the American genius who gave wings to humanity" This monument would be touching tribute a great inventive discoverer, whose has yet, but will in time. be fittingy commem Orated in his country.

London's Traffic Problem
(Boston AdVertiser)

While Boston is wrestling with the problem of congested street traffic London is worrying loss of life the loss of money caused by the in- creasing competition of privately owned chimes with the cty's electric tramway In the eleven months ending with November this year about 130 persons have been killed in the streets by motor omnibuses It is evident that congestion of traffic is the prime cause, the accidents being most frequent where the traffic is Public opinion demands a remedy, but find effectual remedy is difficult A conference held at the home office has come to the conclusion that the only thing to do is to reduce the number of motor buses They have to be licensed by the commissioner of police. and this year he has issued nearly 20O0 licenses. If it is in his power grant a license surely power to refuse one and indeed to decide how many shall be issued-though there who think that legislation may be necessary fix the number of buses that shall be permitted ply in the streets
 any large reduction would be opposed by a great number of people to whom travel by the motor buses is convenience, if not necessity, be- cause these vehicles run freely through so many streets and roads in and around the city where the trolley cars do not go. An idea Of the growing popularity of the buses the expense of the cars. may be obtained from the traffic receipts the last eleven months the receipts of the London Gen erall Omnibus company have increased the average rate of less than $56,890 a week, and the cepts of the National Steam Car company the of $478O week; while the other hand the revenue of the London city council tramway has declined the rate of s10160 week This condition of affairs is very disquietng the public authori- ties they have invested almost $60000O00 of the public money in the tramway system.
 It seems the counsel of despair seek relief by of trackless troleys, yet this has been sought through the light railways bill which is being considered by the house of commons The clause drafted gave power the light railway commissioners authorize the construction of trackless trolley systems but in committee amendment carried making promoters of such schemes liable pay for any damage done to the roadway. This would have imposed liability from which the omnibuses free. and therefore the clause has been withdrawn. But the street traffic problem could have been solved by track less trolleys These would only have increased the congestion, and that is the first thing be remeded if human life is valuable than revenue.

Uncle Sam's Competitors

The express companies have announced that they will go into competition with the parcel post. It may be asked why they did many years make such reasonable for transportation that there would have been demand for parcel post
 The express company plan has yet been worked out, but stated that while the will be higher many articles carried in long haul the will be lower perishable goods.
 Only articles weighing eleven pounds less will be carried under the proposed low rates There is doubt that the competition of the express panies will draw much business away from the parcel post which will be gratifying the railroad companies which operating under mail contracts based weighing tests made before the parcel post law effect.
 The competition however, cannot disastrously affect the government which has engaged this enterprise for but relieve the people from the eXactiOns of the express companies It is all to the government that the express companies preparing engage in the relief work.
 It with hope driving the govern ment of business that the express companies adopting this feature It is that they find the competing rates though almost infinitesimal parison with their exactions still profit able.

Peculiarities of Clouds
(Detroit News-Tribune)

How many people that you meet in the course of a day have ever observed carefully the motion Of the clouds that have been uncomfOrtably prevalent last summer? If asked about the matter would not most of them say the clouds move Tn the same direction the wind at the surface of the earth? Perhaps the oldest nhabtant," who considers it a personal obligation to the community to keep an eye on the weather for the benefit of settling arguments between neighbors might be able to tell you that a thunder cloud has way coming up against the wind" and he might add, by way of good measure that clouds great heights appear to move in directions differing from those at a lower elevation And again, some people might volunteer the information that cirrus clouds which have the greatest average height, all. in any very slowly. while low clouds move much more quickly.
 Meteoroogy-a word which has lost it's original meaning and now applies solely to the science of the atmosphere well clouds and their motions has extended it's operations in recent years by taking the conditions which prevail in each of the several layers of the surface In spite the advances made in this science, diverse theories as to the cause of certain conditions still remain, and the exact reasons for many things connected with clouds are vague the clouds themselves.
 The thing that has caused considerable specu- ation is the fact that, although clouds are really heavier than air they remain suspended at least appear to do in defiance of the law of gravity. Meteroogcaly speaking, cloud is composed of innumerable globuIar particles precipitated invisible state of vapor These particles small that they cannot descend rapidly through the dnary atmosphere. so-called internal fluid friction The particles of cloud are kept from falling to the ground by even the slightest ascending cur rent of air In like manner the vertical effect of horizontal current of air enable the cloud to maintain it's elevation.
 Within the affected by thunder cloud the barOmetric pressure is of course low. that spot being in the center of the storm radius. Low barOmetrc pressure indicates that the air all about must rush in to fill the place. This creates cur of air rushing into the of the and observer the ground, it that the wind is rushing toward the cloud. At the ele vaton of the cloud however the probability is that the air currents responsible for the direction of the clouds motion.
 The various kinds of clouds appear to- be peculiar certain elevations and appear except be- tween fixed limits For example, cirrus clouds. which appear a thick haze range three miles in elevations; cumulus clouds next with average height of three miles.

Smoking Chimney Stacks

There is much food for thought in the observa- MT. J. A. Smith of Bessmer City, N. C. in an interview with him which appears in The Repub ican this morning Mr Smith speaks from a cessfuI experience when he states that community make the of itself only by supplementing it's other industries by manufacturing. The pro- ducer of the raw material not get the cream the product By the producer here, mean the community which is first at the mercy of the pur- chaser, the middleman the manufacturer. The com munty is mulcted for heavy transportation charges All that money passes out for ever. The wages paid for the conversion of the material into manu- factured product is lost the community as well as is the profit, the difference between the value of the material rather, what the producer ceives and the value of the finished product
 Mir. Smith makes this point clear by illus tration; cotton seed which is sold here at SIS lon. by the process of manufacture would be worth sS6 ton Cotton which is sold twentythree cents a pound could be converted into fabrics worth $1 s2 pound.
 Of course, we do not mean to be understood as saying that difference between SIS and s36 or the difference between twenty-three cents and $2 represents the net profit to producer Out that difference wages would have to be paid; other expenses of manufacture would have to be met. But the community, this difference would be a net profit included in which would be payroll without which city has grown to full size and prospered.
 Here is the thing that Phoenix needs the have more factory stacks belching smoke is only under the pail of such smoke that cities thrive most luxuriantly.
 believe that these things coming and that the sprnging up of the cotton industry will preciptate them Six months not one man in ten in the Salt River Valley knew that almost in the outskirts Phoenix there field of 200 acres of Egyptian cotton, the largest field in the United States; or, that the south side of the river were many fields aggregating about 200 acres o Egyptian cotton.
 Now every cotton manufacturer in the United states is aware the magnitude and success of the industry in this valley. The cotton also aware they make a better use of their cotton than selling at twenty three pound, though that very profitable. Progressive and far seeing citizens of the valley who not directly interested the industry that the com munity cannot afford let this material go out a twenty three a pound at other price of the raw material When this conviction becomes strong enough, (and believe it will grow as fast have cotton mills and other mills for have much raw material of other kinds much of the possible profits on which we are losing.
 The industry in this valley is already established. Its profits have been proved beyond a those risks which attach to many other crops. The of the farmers last year will encourage the planting of many hundreds year, and with such acreage mills for the handling ot the product surely
