ESCH RAILROAD BILL
Is PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Extends Governmental Guar
anty for Six Months-Vote is
2O3 to 15o.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-On virtually
passed and sent to the senate the Esch
railroad reorganization bill. Final ac-
ton came after six days of continuous
debate.
The Democrats made the passage of
the measure a party issue as protest
against the section which continues
the guaranteed operating income OF
the railroads for six months after the
termination of federal control. 1t was
openly declared by the Democratic
leaders that this issue will be carried
into the national campaign of 1920.
A motion by Representative Sims of
Tennessee to recommit the bill with
instructions to strike out the guaranty
sections was defeated by vote of BOB
TO 159.
The measure goes to the senate, bat
1t Will not be taken up there until the
regular session in December.
An effort was made without success
TO cause the house to reverse the &C.
Jlon of the committee of the whole in
rejecting the arbitration plan of the
original Esch bill and substitute for it
the Anderson-Sweet scheme approved
by organized labor. The labor forces
again showed their supremacy, the
amendment being approved by vote
of 253 to 112.
The bill as passed provides for the
return of the roads to their owners,
extends the governmental guaranty for
six months after the return, authorizes
the railroads to borrow funds from the
changed by the proper authorities. and
broadens the authority of the inter-
state commerce commission in many
respects, including control over the
issuance of securities.

GOLD-COIN SCALES A RELIC
Missouri Man Has Device That Was
in Daily Use in That State
Many Years Ago.

A gold-coin scales of the type SO
useful to merchants in the middle of
the nineteenth century is one of the
relics kept by Jeff Davis of Boonville.
Modern methods of exchange have
rendered the scales useless but it is
in as good condition as it was when
his grandfather used it at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time B. B. Brereton set up
his little store at Cole Neck, just a
half mile north of what is now Cliff
ton City, the pioneers were crossing
the plains in search for gold. Gold
Sweating was common. Particles OF
gold dust were removed from the coin
so that it's value rather than its APP
pearance suffered. The merchant hai
to be constantly on the lookout FOR
underweight coins when dealing with
such q class of trade.
A pair of scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose. A brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. A slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, So, 80,
$40 and 500 coins. Coins failing to lit
exactly in their respective slots were
rejected. (Mo.) Republican.

GOSHEN, IND, u. s. a.
Perfects Radio Device.

According to a leading Norwegian
newspaper, Engineer Hermod Peter
son has patented a device for the pro-
duction Of electrical current for radio
telegraphy.
The electricity is received by an ac-
cumulator, which releases it at certain
intervals. The system is sparkless,
and the sounds are clearer than in the,
older inventions, says the Scientific
American. The clearness of sound de-
ponds upon the regularity of the cur
rent, and with this system the current
is released with mathematical ex-
actness.
The device has further advantages
in that it is cheaper simpler and more
durable than those now in use. If the
claims for this invention prove we'll
founded, it is thought that it will mark
a distinct step in advance of what has
so far been accomplished in this line,
and hence it's possibilities are creating
considerable interest in the radio,

Velocity of Linht.

The velocity of light was obtained
by the Danish astronomer Roemer in
1876, by observing the eclipses of Jupi'
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter, the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and one-half min
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud-
ed the reason to be that it required IL
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earth's
orbit, which measured the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter. This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about 10000 miles a second.
