REDUCED WITHOUT DELAY. JOINT INTERSTATE RATES ON WESTERN LINES COME DOWN. Local Interstate Rates Will Not Reduced Until the First Of October. Be Presidents of the railroads west of Chicago and St. Louis have notified their passenger agents that the joint Interstate rates shall be reduced with out delay, but that local interstate rates are not to bl reduced until Oct 1, although preparations to do so at that time are being made. The In terstate Commerce Commission is de dared by the Kastern passenger agents to be responsible for the de cision of the president whereby a railroad may reduce the joint Inter state rate. It Is asserted that the commission has authorized the railroads to reduce their joint Interstate rates, in which two or more railroads participate, on one day's notice to the commission of their proposed change In rates, but the act of commission prohibits every road from making any reduction in Interstate rate3 between points on Its own line without giving thirty days' notice to the commission. EXPECT GOOD RESULTS. Good results are expected to follow the meeting of high officials of all the

Indiana roads with the State Commission of Indiana, in Indianapolis the latter part of last week. Questions which have been agitated and none settled since the commission was appointed were brought up and thoroughly aired. The railroad men explained their position in the matter and came to a better understanding . with the commission as to what might be expected in the future, and it Is believed that good results are to follow the session of these two factions. LATEST Tr?NOVATION. The latest railway innovation Is a plan for a community of interests between the traffic associations. The Idea originated with the Transcontinental Freight Bureau, which Invited the Central Freight association and the Trunk Line association to appoint committees to attend its meeting bsjL

have eaual voice and vote on matters affecting them. STATES COMPARED. Kentucky, with a population of fifty five to each square mile, has but 8.1 miles of railway line for each 100 eciuare miles and but 14.5 miles for each 10,000 inhabitants. Indiana, Just across the river with, a popula tion of seventy-six for each square mile has 19.2 miles of railway Una for each 100 square miles. . , IMPROVEMENTS COMPLETED. The improvements inaugurated at Indianapolis by the Pennsylvania line with the appointment of J. W. Coneys as superintendent ox the terminals of the company at Indianapolis as well as of the Vlncennes division are now about completed and have greatly im proved the conditions for handling the company's business.

2 2 NAT.C. OSCAR PROCTOR. THE SEA HEDGEHOG. it Will Swallow Air Until It Swe!?a Into Invulnerability. Of. fishes a large number are pro tected from hostile attack by a covering of prickles. By far the most curious examples are the globeflshes or "sea hedgehogs" of the Atlantic and Indo-Paolflc oceans. The extreme length of the globefish Is something lesa than two feet. It has thick Hps and goggle eyes, which give it the appearance of a good natured countryman. Courage it seems to lack, and one might suppose that such a sim pleton would fall an easy prey to the first shark or dogfish it encountered Yet the globefish Is able to take care fji itself. It never under any circum stances attacks the enemy, yet is al ways ready to receive him in a suit able manner should he provoke hostil ities. . Let us suppose that a shoal of globefishes Is swimming tranquilly in the clear waters when it Is suddenly sur prised by a hungry shark. Of course the little fellows scuttle hither and thither In uncontrollable alarm. But the shark, poising himself upon his powerful tail, leisurely singles out one of the fleeing globeflshes and sets out In pursuit Now, although the globe fish Is a good swimmer, it is no match for the shark. The chase is in every way unequal and can have but one ending. "Wtthui a few minutes of its commencement the shark must over take the globefish. But the quarry is well aware of its danger. It makes a bee line for the surface and as soon as Jt gets there begins to take in great gulps of air. Then a strange thing happens. The fish that only a moment before was thin and small begins to grow stouter and stouter until, like the frog in the fable, it seems in danger of bursting. It stops inflating itself, however, Just in time to avert this catastrophe. But Its skin has become as taut as a drumhead, and th whole of its body is covered with sharp, erect prickles. It has become a sea hedgehog, and the hungry shark which comes surging through the water dares not touch It, but turns tail In search of something more eatable. Of course the globefish was cov ered with prickles all the time, but In periods of tranquillity these lie com fortably along its sides, just as do those of the hedgehog. Unlike its land prototype, however, the sea hedgehog is unprovided with a special muscle for erecting its prickles, so when danger threatens it has recourse to the mechanical method of inflating the whole body with air or with water if it cannot reach the surface quickly.

Great numbers of fine old violins and vinlfnr,fllr4 that fome Into the hisrh class market of London are procured thrmmh th. moriinni nf nrl vprtisompnt inserted In obscure country papers an,i .nnutiv fhnca rr onMonf rntho. dral cities. Of course few of the fiddles thus obtained are veritable masterpieces, but a great many of them are fine exampies of early English and foreign makers, and they are often bought for rldiculously small prices by a group of experts, who have brought the business to a lucrative sj-steni. Many a struggling family of long descent, in some out of the way part of the coun try, happens to see in the one county newspaper of the week that good prices are given for old fiddles, and some long lorgotten instrument in a lumber room or put away on a shelf suddenly comes to mind. Correspondence follows. The dealer sends a deposit in order that some fid die spoken of may be sent to him and examined, and he usually replies that the instrument sent is dilapidated and but so-so generally, but that he is will ing to give 30 shillings or 2 for it. In a great many cases the offer Is accepted offhand, and in this way most of the finest fiddles extant of the second class come Into the hands of deal ers. Only lately a cello that came from a Shropshire farm at the price of 2 sold the same day to a west end dealer for nearly 100. One of the most shrewd and respect ea or an tnese dealers was until a year or two ago a humble member of the orchestra .of a London suburban theater. He began to advertise in remote papers to the greatest limits of his scanty wages and is now one of tne most extensive and prosperous dealers in the trade. London Tit-Bits. A SILLY TRAGEDY. The Duel Between Tom Porter Oir Henry Bellasis. nd Some of the royalists who were forced to endure the English commonwealth seemed to console themselves for the dullness of life under a Puritan government by fighting as many duels as they could compass, so that ignoble squabbles and foolish plots make up the history of their days. Tom Porter was of a family which had zealously served the king. Under the new government his occupation was gone, and he descended to a triviality of life which finally involved him in a most pathetic event. This was a duel which he fought with his friend, Sir Henry Bellasis, and which, 6ays Pepys In his "Diary," is worth remembering for "the silliness of the quarrel, a kind of emblem of the general complexion of the whole kingdom." But, silly as the quarrel undoubtedly was, it carried In it an element of heartbreak. The two young men Involved were Intimate friends and companions, but one day, "being merry in company," Tom Porter said he should like to see the man in England who would dare give him a blow. "With that Sir Henry Bellasis struck him a box on the ear. The inevitable dul followed, wherein each was wonnded. Sir Henry proved to be seriously hurt, so he called Torter, kissed and bade him fly. "For," said he. "Tom. thou hast hurt me, but I will make shift to stand upon my legs till thoa mayest withdraw, for I would not have thee troubled for what thou hast done. Porter profited by his friend's generosity and escaped to France. Sir Henry died a few days later, and Pepys concludes, "It is pretty to see how the world do talk of them as a couple of fools that killed one another out of love." Many ills come from Impure DTood.

HE WAITS DEFINITE

NFORMATIOII Oil IT City Attorney Study Will Not Present Traction Ordinance, Monday. ATTITUDE OF THE COUNCIL MR. STUDY SAYS THE COMPANY HAS NO RIGHT TO OPERATE EITHER CLASS OF CARS ON MAIN STREET. City Attorney Study intimates that at the next council meeting, Monday August 5, there will be no ordinance introduced compelling the Terre j Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern trac tion company to cease the operation of all Interurban cars on Main street. Mr. Study states that at the next council meeting he intends to put it up to the councilmen as to what course of action they desire to take in the traction question. At the last council meeting after the resolution of the Commercial club sanctioning the stand the citv has taken against the traction company, a resolution of fered by Mr. Deuker referlng the fur ther action to be taken by the city againsj. the traction company, to the city attorney, was passed. Wantj Exact Information. Mr. Study evidently desires to have council definiteb' outline what action it proposes to take before he draws up a drastic ordinance. Mr. study states that he wouM not draw up an ordinance forcing interurban cars off Ma,n stn?et unlesg he knew positIvely that such aft ordinance would be ac ceptable to council. If at the next council meeting council goes on rec ord as favoring this step Mr. Study will at once draught such an ordinance. He thinks that plan of cam paign against the traction company Is the one the city should persue. "There is no doubt in my mind but that the traction company has as much rlSht to operate a freight car on Main street as it has to operate a passenger car but in my opinion tne I ... . . comDanv has no richt to onerate eithe" class of cars, stated Mr. Study, so he thinks that all interurban cars should be driven off Main street. The city attorney is certain that such an ordinance would not have to remain in force long as it would com' peI the traction company to bow to the dictates of the city officials. TAELECL0THS. The "Doublers" and the "Bubbles" of Olden Times. In the twelfth century the table cloths were very large and were alwavs laid on the table double. For a long time they were called "doublers,! for that reason. The cloth was first j placed so as to touch the floor on the side of the table at which the guests .of TVion nil tha Mnth that remained was folded so that It Just covered the table. -i,o,-i V ha.l .iTtr-oflvon tnWe--nVtlstT Aia frm flftnan tn twenty yards long and two yards wide. He had one cloth which was thirtytwo yards long, and that had the arms of France embroidered on it in silk All of these were fringed. In the sixteenth century "doublers," or double cloths, were replaced by two tablecloths, one of which was small and was laid Just as we lay ours to day. The other, which was put on over it, -. lnro-o tw1 f hntlfnltir floored linen. It was skillfully folded in such a way that, as a book of that time says, "it resembled a winding river, gently ruffle by a little breeze, for among very many little folds were here and there great bubbles." It must have required much art and care to make dishes, plates, saltcellars, sauce dishes and classes stand steadily In the midst of this undulating sea and among those "bubbles" and puffy i folds. However, the fashion had only a short existence, as is apt to be the case with unpractical fashions, and toward the latter part of the century a single cloth, laid flat and touching the floor on all sides of the table, came into gen era! use. Not the Same Bill. After much persuasion Sir John Astley allowed himself to be put forward some years ago as a Conservative candidate for parliament from Lincolnshire, ne confessed he knew little about' politics, but entered Into the campaign as rare sport. One day he j addressed a meeting of electors at a village in the Isle of Axholme, and when, he had finished somebody chal lenged his hearers to fire questions al him. Presently there came the query, 'What do you thliik of Sir Wilfrid Lawson's liquor bill?" For a moment Sir John was nonplused, but only for a moment. Pulling himself together, he replied, "I cannot answer for Sit Wilfrid Lawson's liquor bill, but I do know that last year my own was 8 deuced sight too big!" The Holly. The holly In Germany 13 called Christdorn, or Christ's thorn, the leg end being that it was of this plant that the crown of thorns was made. In France the honor is assigned to the hawthorn, which is there called the 'no ble thorn. In Spain the legend assigns the honor to the bramble. An old Scotch legend makes the crown to con sist of thistle blades, while in the folk said to have been the plant selected by the persecutors. tntnunatm.

THE CYCLONE.

How This Wonderful and Destructive Air Fury Is Formed. To get an idea of a cyclone's forma tion imagine a large circular pan or tub with quite a large hole In the middle of the bottom. With this hole plugged, fill the vessel with water. then draw out the plus and watch. There Is first a rush of water from all directions toward the hole and a turbulit effort to get through; thea the water surface above logins to sink and swirl, the particles gradually circling around and around and rushing, ever faster, toward the center. At last there is actually a hollow space through the center, around which all the water In the tub is whirling slug gishly near the rim. but with more and more violent rapidity toward the mid dle until it rushes downward through the bottom. Now, if that water were! air you would be watching a little cycloue turned upside down, for the air rushes upward instead of downward. In the cradle of cyclones during the summer mouths, when the land and the water grow hotter and hotter because of the longer days than nights, a layer of air, hot, light and full ot vapor. Is for a time held down by I denser air above it. Restless, expand ing, tumultuous, it moves about like a beast at bay until a thinner place in the air above is found; then up it mad ly rushes, and Into the vacuum left be hind the loweratmosphere hastens from all directions, pushing and twisting and pouring upward until it has fallen into a regular spinning around a com mon center. The cyclone, once formed, rushes away from the tropics toward the pole and begins its career of destruction, bruising, wrecking and sinking the luckless ships which happen to be In its path. More and more of the sur rounding atmosphere is drawn into the whirl until the storm often covers an area nearly 1.000 miles in diameter. Sometimes It flings itself upon our At lantlc coast and tears fiercely through forests, fields and cities. Then, again it sweeps away across the broad ocean and dashes Itself upon the coasts of Europe. Once in awhile it so adroitly avoids the land that we never know it has passed until ships come in torn and broken. St. Nicholas. HIS ODD AD.
