A Big Parcel Post Rate Cut.

Postmaster General Burleson's pro.
posals to increase the weight limits oi
parcel post packages in the fret and
second zones from twenty to fifty
pounds, to admit books TO the parcel
post, and to reduce rates in the third
fourth, fifth and sixth zones, we're ap-
proved Saturday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The maximum weight of parcels to
all zones beyond the second was in
creased from eleven to twenty pounds.
The approved changes in rates and
weights to be in effect January /, 1914,
follow:
To reduce the rates for the third
zone from seven cents for the first
pound and five cents for each addition
al pound to six cents for the first
pound and two cents for eacn addition
al pound.
To reduce the rate for the fourth
zone from eight cents for the first
pound and six cents for each addition
al pound to seven cents for the fret
pound and four ceuts for each ad-
ditional pound.
To reduce the rates for the sixth
zone from ten cents for the first pound
and nine cents for each additional
pound, to nine cents for the first pound
and eight cents for each additional
pound.
1t seems obvious" says the COM
missioner, shat the service to the
public will be prompted by these
changes provided the revenue from the
service is not less than the cost there
OF, Your experiences and statistics
seem to show clearly that the revenue
will not be less than the cost OF the
service.
"We can conceive of no opposition to
the increased weights and reduced
rates proposed except from the car
riers that transport the mails. We
have had some objections from them
on the ground that the increased
weight should not be permitted until
provision for additional compensation
to the carriers has been made"
1t is provided that the rate OF post
age on parcels containing books weigh
ing eight ounces or less shall be one
cent for each two ounces or fractional
part thereof, and on those weighing in
excess of eight ounces, the one parcel
post rates shall apply" This is to be
effective March l6. 1914.
Consent was also given by the com
mission TO the admission of shipments
OF gold, gold bullion and gold dust in
Alaska and TO and from Alaska in pack
ages weighing not more than eleven
pounds. The rate OF postage is fixed
at two cents an ounce or fraction there
of for all distances,
The change relating to books has
strongly been urged by circulating
libraries, schools, colleges and pub
fishers ever since the establishment of
the parcels post service, as the present
restrictive weight limit and rates on
books are prohibitive to great extent
except in the case of catalogues.
1t was not deemed advisable to place
the order changing the classification
OF books in effect on January /. as j,
was desired to give at least three
months notice to firms whose Iata.
logues were now being printed.

StammerIno Children,

Stammering Is often caused by try
ing to force left-handed children to
use the right hand, according to P. B.
Ballard, London county council inspec-
tor Of schools. He also asserts that to
be left-handed was to be not merely
awkward, but prone to wickedness. He
presented many statistics.
Out Of one group Of $40 left-handed
children one per cent. of pure left
handlers stammered, against 4.3 per
cent. Of 800 being taught to use Tx
right hand. In another group of 2Os
the figures were AZ ner cent and 212
per cent. respectively.
Six out Of ten left-handed children
who had been taught to use the right,
hand were practically cured Of STAN
mering after being allowed to use the
left hand exclusively for Is months.
There were twice as many left-handed
boys as left-handed girls, and STAN
mering was twice as prevalent among
bows.

some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was kind of eczema.
"She treated for some time and It
did not help her. 1t kept spreading

STILL AN UNKNOWN REGION
Atmosphere at Extreme Point Above
the Earth Has Never Been
Determined.

Except for narrow layer OF air
the atmosphere above us Is practical
ly unexplored. The most daring bal
loonists have only penetrated to a
point seven miles above the earth. In
this first stratum are found the clouds
and the moisture and here the storms
are formed The second layer has
been penetrated by pilot balloons car
rying meteorological instruments TO
a distance twenty miles above the
earth. The thermometers carried
through this stratum show practical
ly no change of temperature.
At an altitude of 80 miles the at
mosphere consists almost entirely or
hydrogen and this marks the upper
limit of twilight Clouds Of fine vol
canic dust sometimes rise to this
height, which may be seen by reflect
ed light, but this Is the only solid
matter found in this region. 1t is be-
lieved that hydrogen is replaced by
some unknown gas of extreme light
ness above this stratum, but as a
matter of fact nothing Is definitely
known. The most daring scientists
scarcely dare guess what Is to be
found at height beyond a point l2o
miles above the earth's surface.
