The President of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company asserts that in Washington
since 1896 the cost OF coal has advanced so per
cent; servants wages, so per cent; food, 50 per
cent, and clothing, 80 per cent. while the public
is still given six street rides for quarter The
fact that the transportation companies have been
able to continue to pay dividends and provide good
service at the old rates. in spite of advancing
wages, the advent OF the jitncy bus and the in
crcasing number of automobiles would suggest
that they must have discovered and put into effect
a great many economies in the past score of years.

A HINT TO THE PESSIMIS.

a HIM ~ iflL FCOoiIuiSi'
If all is wrong as you do say,
And ugly things besmirch your way;
And clouds hang ever in your sight,
And life is black as stsrless night,
Still should you joy that you are here
To help sad world unto cheer;
To take the ugly things of woe
And beautify them as you go;
For wrong to substitute the right,
And lead darkened world to light.

Several weeks ago The Herald without great
deal of confidence, expressed the hope that the
time would come when the people of some Con-
gressonal district would call halt to the efforts
of their Representative to provide them with pork.
And now that very thing has happened. Repre-
sentative Albert Johnson, of the State of Wash
ington. introduced in Congress recently bill to
appropriate sI2sooo for the purchase of site and
the erection of Federal building in Hoquam.
Promptly the representative citizens of Hoquiam
teegrsphed him: Fifty thousand dollars for pub
lie building and site would be ample and sufficient
for Hoquiam. Any than that sum would
be pork. We urge you to advocate action on above
basis" Representative Johnson is to be cougratu-
lated on being chosen to represent so worthy a
constituency, and perhaps it is not going too far
to say that he has better knowledge of their
requirements than they have themselves. Those
honest and patriotic Hoquiamites may not need a
sI2s,ooo Federal building just now but probably
they viii before long

RAYS FROM THE SUN.
They Become Light to Us Only Upon
| STRIKING Our Atmosphere.

They Become Light to Us Only Upon
Striking Our Atmosphere.
The rays Of light that reach Us from
the sun are not light In themselves.
For instance. to show what Is meant.
suppose you were placed out In empty
space. facing 30 that you woGid look
sidewise at the light rays passing from
the sun to the earth. You would not
see them at all. You could only see
them II you looked directly at the sun,
no that the rays would enter your
eyes and, striking upon the retina. pro-
duce there the impression of light.
The rays passing by and not enter
ing your eyes would be invisible be-
cause in open space there Is no me-
dium like the atmosphere to scatter
the rays in all directions and thus pro
duce an illumination all around.
The sky at night is full of passing
sunbeams and star beams. vast and
inextricable web of radiations. but they
lie beyond the limits Of the atmos'
phere, and only those are transformed
into light which by reflection from q
planet in the case of sunbeams or by
coming straight into the eye from
star directly affect the nerves of vision

A Remarkable Experience and Rescue
In the Italian Alps.

through incredibly long imprisonments

1865, ayalanches buried the village OF
Bergemoletto. in the Italian Alps. and
on April % three women were dug out
alive from stable in which they had
been immured for thirty-seven days In
the dark beneath the mass Of snow
which lay forty-two feet higher than
the roof. With them had been buried
II little boy. six goats. donkey and
some hens.
The child, the donkey and the fowls
soon died. but the goats helped the
women to survive. their milk supple.

The weather then at last made ex'
cavation possible. and the women were
