Strenuous objection to the proposed
merger of the Lake Shore railroad
with the New York Central was made
when the proposition came up for con-
sideration before the Michigan rail
road commission.
Otto Kirchner, of Detroit represent
ing a syndicate having an interest
in the New York Central and Attor-
ney Hodge of New York, who appeared
for the minority stockholders of the
Lake Shore each declared that the
Michigan commission has no jurisdic-
seeking to be consolidated own parallel
and competing lines and that the
merger would be in violation of the
constitution and laws of this state.
A. II. Smith, president of the New
York Central, vice-president and gen.
eral counsel A. H. Harris and r. A.
White, general auditor for the New
York Central were present, but the
entire case was apparently placed in
the hands of Harris as he did all the
talking.
Harris declared that President Smith
had estimates of experts on the saw
ing in the cost of accounting which
he claimed would amount to 100000
per year if the companies were
merged. He said that in the next ten
years the Lake Shore would require
800, 900 and the New York Cen
trail approximately $3.50, 100000 to car
~ on the business of the two corpora
lions and that by merging the inter-
ests the saving on interest would
alone amount to 100000 per year.
Harris declared that the lines affected
by the proposed merger are connecting
lines and not parallel and competing
as alleged by Kirchner and Hodges.
Both Kirchner and Hodges raised
objections as to the manner in which
approval of the merger was secured
at the stockholders meetings in each
company Vice-president Harris adj
mitted the charge that the New York
Central owns 80 per cent of the stock
in Lake Shore. Hodges alleged that
the minority stockholders had not
been given proper consideration The
matter will be taken up again by the
railroad commission and complete arg
uments will be made by each side.

THE LITTLE HEAT PUSH
The Scientific American gives the
novel view of combustion.

The Scientific American gives the
following novel view of combustion:
What happens when you touch a
match to the kindling in your kitchen
stove? The simple and obvious an
swer seems to bet burns" That
is true enough so far as ii goes, but
the answer does not even suggest the
complicated and ~far-reaching results
that are accounted for the very simple
chemical principle involved in the
lighting of a small fire.
In a mass of paper and kindling
wood We have various forms of carbon.
The flame of the match heats a por-
combines rapidly with the oxygen of
the air; that is to say, a small part
of the kindling burns, or oxidizes, and
from this small start the process of
burning or oxidization spreads rapidly
to every carbon compound that can be
heated by the fire up to the point
where it will combine with oxygen.
OF course all this is an old story, but
there may be new morals to old stories
and there is a new moral to this story
if we look at it from a certain point
of view.
From this point of view all burn
able materials represent a state of un-
stable equilibrium. A big wooden
dwelling, for instance, may feel and
look almost as solid and enduring as
a mountain, in point of fact it is made
up, barring the nails and other hard
ware, of a great mass of carbon COM
pounds that a little push in the shape
of a few hundred degrees of heat will
completely upset.
The upsetting is not quite so instan-
taneous as the fall of a vase which
you may knock off the table with your
elbow, but ace given that heat push
in the right place, and the overturn-
ing of the carbon mass that we have
been calling a house may be very rapid
indeed. Moved by this initial heat
push the carbon in the floors, the wood
finish, clapboards, the roof, the franz
ing, the outside paint and the inside
furnishings, all rush into combination
with the oxygen of the air, and what
was a house, carpets, tables and
chairs, curtains, becomes suddenly a
rising whirlwind of carbon oxide and
carbon dioxide-it goes up in smoke
and heat.
This conception of every burnable
substance as being in such a state of
balance that a small push at some ap-
propriate time will upset and destroy
that substance is of more practical
value than may appear at first sight.
1t is perfectly true, of course, that

John Prins, the convict from the

out on parole and making his home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Carrot Boersma OF
Havana township, skipped for parts
unknown last Friday morning. When
he is captured he will be returned to
the pen and made to serve put his
sentence to the end. Prins made a
pitiful plea to the charitable people of
this place for "a chance to make
good" He promised by all that was
great and holy hat he would be good
and that his confinement in the pen
had taught him that the right way was
the best way. His appeal was so pitt,
full that Rev. John Wood took up the
matter with the arbitration authori-
ties, secured a home for the kid and
succeeded in getting him out on
parole. Mr.. Wood also purchased the
boy an eighteen dollar suit of clothes
and did much besides to make his stay
here pleasant and teach him that the
people were with him as long as he
was straight. No boy ever had a bet
ter home than he had at Boersma's
but he went wrong land last Friday he
skipped. 1t will be only a matter of
time when he will be picked up by
some one and then he will be taken
back to the pen to finish his sentence
of two years. 1t is too bad to see a

of this place have done all that they
could to help him.-Clear Lake Cour-
