Dear Sir: Please state in this

THE RAILROADS DO AS THEY
PLEASE ON LOCAL LINES.
WHERE THEY HAVE A
MONOPOLY.

Dear Sir: l have been reading your
paper for some time and enjoy it very
much. | have q question to ask you
if it is in the bounds Of reason:
l ordered two pieces of furniture
from Chicago, shipped to River juno
ton, Fla, and the freight was only
$3.1S. then had it shipped to
Greensboro, Fla, and the freight was
$685.
1t is not over fifteen miles from
River Junction to Greensboro.
Can you tell ne why it is the rail-
roads are allowed to do the poor
farmers this way? If possible, | will
appreciate it if you will answer this
in your next issue of The Jeffer-
sOnian.
Thanking you in advance for
your kindness. Yours truly,
Fla. J. L. FLETCHER.
(COmment.)
On through freights from such
places as Chicago, there is competi-
ton for the business, hence rates are
reasonable.
From River Junction, Fla, to
Greensboro, Fla, there is & SUPPOSED
only one line; and therefore the road
charges what it pleases.
The attention of the Florida Rail-
road Commission ought to be called
to the case: it might investigate the
local rates and give the shippers some
relief from eXtortion. T. E. w.

Made Queer Mistake,

A Pittsburgher who passed through
Washington on his way to New York
is wondering what kind of specimens
of humanity blow into the national
capital. He says he had taken Penn
sylvania avenue car going up town
from the station, and he sat next to 9
mild-looking old gentleman who
seemed to be wrestling with some Sc
cret sorrow. When the car turned
the corner of Fifteenth street the
shake-up brought the old fellow Out
of his reverie and he looked up to see
the monument towering over the ad
jacent vicinity. Pardon me-" he said
to the Pittsburgher, may l ask what
that lofty structure over there is?'
That's the monument" said the Steel
City man, who spoke of it as Wash
ingtonians do. What monument
inquired the old gentleman. 1.-THE mon
ument to Washington, of course" The
old gentleman gazed at it abstractedly
until it was hid from view. That

IN THE AIR
Americans Idea of Combating
the zeppeIins.
ohiladelphian Has Designed Project
Which He Believes Will Be Effec-
tive If Air Raids Should Be
Put Into Operation.

Picture a monster Zeppelin, as long
As an ocean liner, laden with tons of
ieath-dealing explosives, creeping
through the murky mist of winter
night toward London. Picture, again,
II you can, the skies turned to flame
and the heavens shattered as the hun
ireds of thousands of cubic feet of
hydrogen gas explodes, scattering the
sinister craft in tiny pieces over the
streets and housetops of the city.
That is the graphic sketch of what
Is likely to occur if the Zeppelins at
tempt a serious raid on London, as
given by Joseph A. Steinmetz of Phil
adelphia. Mr. Steinmetz is the orig.
lnator of the first serious considered
scheme of mining the air and the in
ventor of the trailing bombs for the
destruction of dirigibles.
In few words, the plan devised by
Mr.. Steinmetz is to install on all the
| buildings in threatened area a large
number of hydrogen balloons. They
are held ready for instant use, and
each is attached to a fine wire two
miles long, wound on windlass. The
wire is so small that a mile of 1t
weighs but four pounds, while it has a
tensile strength of 120 pounds.
The Zeppelin, sighted by the look
out, would be permitted to proceed UNI
til almost over the objective point
Then, simultaneously, scores of the
balloons, to each of which is attached
highly explosive, infiammable
bomb, would be released.
Each bomb is surrounded with a
ring of hair triggers, and the slight
est touch would cause an explosion
which would unquestionably ignite
the gas in the dirigible. The plan il
to send certain number of the mines
to a given altitude, while others will
be anchored at different heights, thus
allowing the Zeppelin no chance to
escape.
The other method of destroying the
German craft is along similar lines
but differs in that it is conducted
through the use Of aeroplanes. Eacl
machine is equipped with bombs sucf
as are used in the air mines The

lceberqs and Sea Water.

That the temperature of sea water
rises slightly near an iceberg, as one
man of science has asserted, is a con-
clusion not borne out by the investiga-
tions of the bureau of standards. Dur
ing the summer patrol of the United
States steamships Chester and Bir-
mingham in the North Atlantic, men,
bers of the staff of the bureau took au-
tomato records of the temperature of
the water The records show that
changes of temperature in the sea far
from icebergs are at least as great
and sudden as the changes near them,
and that they do not point to the
presence of icebergs. They find also
that an iceberg more often lowers than
raises the temperature Of the water
near it. These conclusions are iden-
teal with those arrived at by the OBJ
servers on the Scotia, which was sent
out to the Newfoundland banks by the
British Board of Trade In the summer
of 1913, except that they more often
observed small rises of temperature in
the neighborhood Of icebergs.--Youth
