ments are taken here to mean that the

that which is granted.
Actually, much relief is granted. The
Increases allowed on coal, coke and iron
ore and on class rates In the East and on
rail and water transportation should bring
the roads approximately 500, ,OOO, 900 a year

will accrue chiefly to the eastern carriers,
which are admittedly In the worst condition
and hardest pressed for new money.

France in 1852, tile same year In
which Franklin made his still more

which soon became popular in America
and Europe. Epinus, Bergman and
Canton made the main discoveries in
regard to pyroelectricity about 1770
Henry Cavendish Q731-1S10) was the
discoverer of many of the most impOI-

made known in the nineteenth century
by Couloub, Ohm and Faraday.
Luigi Galvani. the discOverer Of cur

tricity, made his famous observation
Of the twitching of a frogs legs in
1880. And in 1894 Volta discovered
the correct explanation. which led to
the invention Of the sO-called vOltnIc

Cltv Of Vicissitudes.

The history of Freiberg goes back to
the latter part of the eleventh century.
1t Is supposed to have been founded by
one of the dukes of Zabringen, in
whose possession it remained until the
first quarter of the thirteenth century,
when the line became extinct and 1t
fell into the hands of the Urach family,
from whom the Freiburgers, after try
ing in vain to rid themselves by force,
finally purchased their freedom for
10000 silver marks. No sooner had
they succeeded in throwing off the
yoke of the old master, however, than
they became involved with new one,
for they were unable to settle with
the creditor who had advanced the
purchase price of their freedom. The
city then passed into the hands of the
Hapsburgs, under whose dominance it
remained for more than four centuries.
