comparison is distinctively in favor
of the government lines. The aver
age fare in Germany is .8S cents a
mile and in England it is 1.75 cents
or nearly twice as much. All Eu-
ropean countries have different class
coaches and fares to correspand. In
Germany the first class fare is rs
cents a mile. Second class is 1.8
and third class is IL cents. The
third class in Prussia costs but .93
cents mile. In. addition a large
number of persons travel fourth
class at very low rate. The very
low average cost of passenger travel
is seen in the fact that 40 per cent
of the passengers travel third class
and As per cent fourth class while
only II per cent travel second class
and less and one per cent first class.
The following are the charges for
a trip of 400 miles, single fare, in
different countries. In Europe rates
are third class, in America in

INCOME TAX IS
Misunderstood
sTATISTIclAN NEAsE OF sERv
ICE COMMISSION EXPLAINS
PROPOSED LAW.
says Il VIII Save Corporations More
Money Than Under Direct Tax
viii Hit the Tax Dodqer.
BY W. r. KEYsER.
(Stan C~orrespondent.O

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. a.
Only the tax dOdger who is not now
bearing his fair share OF taxation and
the corporation which has a net earn
ing so great as to be out OF all proper
ton to its own Investment would be
h only ones seriously affected by the
proposed excise tax on incomes OF
corporations. according 20 n. f.
Nease. statistician OF the public serv-
ice commission.
Much OF tho objection 10 the pro-
posed income tax measure now be
fore the legislature is due to the fact
that the measure is not properly I'M
derstoOd." Mr.. Nease said today. AS
a matter OF fact a large majority Of
the corporations OF the state would
pay more taxes IL the direct state tax
were increased ten cents than under
this proposed income measure. The
following illustrations show the prac-
tical effect OF this measure and in my
opinion should convince any reason
able person that the measure IL an
equitable one.
"a corporation owning taxable
property having a value II $4,000
would pay an additional a amount
ing TO so II the state levy were in
creased 10 cents. Before "a would pay
SO under the proposed income tax
measure Il would have 10 have net
income to the amount of $1,000. This
would b ~ per cent on its taxable
value.
"a corporation having taxable prop
erty 10 tho value 81 so. 900 would paw
an additional tax Of $50 N the state
levy were Increased 10 cents. Under
the income mcasure this corporation
could have net income OF $1,000 he
fore II would paw n greater tax than
under the direct ten cents levy. a
corporation having taxable pronerfv
20 the value or $50. 900 thcn could
make p per cent net on tho taxable
value Of its property before % would
pay any additional tax Under the m
come tax measure.
ITO carry the illustration one noint
further a corporation having a taxable
value ~ 100000 would pay an addi-
VOnal tax Of 800 ~ the direct state
TAX we're Increased ton cents. To pav
a greater tax than 800 under the IN
come a measure this corporation
would have 10 have a net income IN
excess % $4,000 fn other words this
corporation would be- permitted 10
make y II per rent on its taxable
value before 90 would nay . greater

The Gorgons were creatures Of Greek

Euripides as being OF peculiarly abhor

of scrpcnts. their bodies covered with
scales and sir1led with reptiles witt,
heads erect. vibrating their tongues

Gorgons. adorned with sharp talons
were of brass. The gaze of the mon
stcrs was deadly. hll upon whom the,

One of the three terrible sisters was

HENRY SHRAPNEL.
inventor Of the Deadly Wa Missile and
Hie Reward.

inventor Of the Deadly War Missile and
His Reward.
Shrapnel was originally the name Of
a British general who. about a hum
dred years ago, was begging the board
Of ordnance Of his native land for some
substantial recognition In respect Of
the new and deadly missile he had
placed absolutely at their service and
was being told that the institution in
question had no funds at it's disposal
Tor the reward of merit"
Henry Shrapnel's invention vas
probably first employed at Surinam in
1904 and was then ~"favorably report
ed on" but eleven years later Sir
George Wood. who commanded the ar
tillery at Waterloo. declared that
shrapnel had won that famous battle.
Without it. Wood asserted, no effort Of
the British could have recovered the
farmhouse Of La Haye Sainte.
In 1914 the government granted
Shrapnel a pension Of $1,000 a year
for life. but this was interpreted by
his paymasters to cover all the inven-
tons Shrapnel had given to the army,
including an ingenious gun mounting
whereby the ecOil was utilized to
bring gun into action at the same
time as another was put under cover.
Shrapnel vas thus placed at a disad-
vantage. though he had the satisfac-
| ton of dra wing his pension to a ripe
old age. He died in 1912. aged eighty

TESTING CONCRETE.
Experiments to Show tho Acton Of
Sea Water and Frost.

One Of tue largest construction com
panies In this country is making Elk
perimcnts to determine what Is the ac-
ton of sea water and frost upon con-
crete. According to Science COnspec-
tus. the company made t~wenty-fOur
concrete columns. each sixteen feet
long and sixteen inches square,, re-en-
forced with iron bars near their or
ners. and in January. 1909. immersed
them In the water at the Boston navy
yard.
At high tide the water almost entire
iy covers them, but at low tide they are
completely exposed. Thus in cold
weather the columns are alternately
thawed and frozen as the tide rises
and falls. The columns are made with
various qualities Of cOncrete-mlxed
dry, plastic and very wet-and also
with different qualities Of cement. Elk
perts are studying the effects of the
addition Of waterprOOfng materials.
Clay and other substances are added
from time to time. and the effect Is OBJ
served.
Many years must elapse before It.
will be possible to tell with certainty
what kind Of concrete is most perlna-
nent. When last examined many OF
the columns were virtually unaffected.
but others We're badly eroded. The
columns that contain the largest pro-
portion of cement, mixed wet, have so
far shown the least wear. OF two col
umns made with n part OF cement tn
one of sand and two of stone the n
mixed dry was badly eroded Over its
entire length. whereas the other.
which was mixed very wet. was only
slightly pittel.
The experiment. it is expected. will
throw much light upon Il problem that
has long peipleXed construction -.
