bring about the defeat Of the new

Monday at the public service COM

Practically the entire day was de-
voted TO legal argument on whether
the new corporation is a public util-
ity and may acquire the properties
scattered about the state. The ques-
ton was still pending a formal decis-

the commission, but the discussion
between counsel and the commission

William Taylr, representing the

with the cities in the effort 10 have
the corporations case dismissed. and
ne carried on the brunt of the af-

proposed only purchase of utility

that the element Of sale was includ-

The Cup That Cheers.

The tea of commerce is the leaf
of a cultivated shrub which thrives
best In the Far East-in the Indian
peninsula and on some of the adjs cent
islands, in large parts Of China, and
in Japan. In only one part Of the
world is tea known to grow wild, and
that is in the forests of Assam. the
northeastern province of British India
adjoining Burma, noted among other
things for having the heaviest rain
fall of any part of the world. In the
Assam forests indigenous tea Is a
tree of vigorous growth attaining a
height of thirty feet. In Assam is
grown one-thlrd of the tea produced
In India. 1t is believed that the plant
was taken from Assam to China, and
1t was from China that the western
world learned the use of tea. The
first tea-hOuse was opened in London
in 1867, and from that time tea be-
came a popular beverage.

Standard Classification.

The term prototype in mcteorology
means an original standard TO which
others must. conform. and which,
though i; may be initiated from some
thing else. is not required 10 confo.-G
to anything else, but itself serves as
the ultimate definition of a unit. Thus
in reference to the metre DIES Arc
hives" and the International prototype
meter, and to the corresponding kilo-
grams, these national standards are
copies; but their formal adoption as
the authoritative standards to which
other standards in the United States
are to be cOnformed has caused them
TO be called. perhaps with justice, the
national prototype kilogram and the
national prototype meter.
