BOSTON PLAN FOR SHARING GAS PROFITS

Has Been Experimented With for Six Years and Has Been Found an Unqualified Success.

It might have been possible, according to officers of the company, to effect such a reduction, but it was thought better to inaugurate the profit sharing plan by which all employes of the company have an interest in the business, depending upon their terms of service. Possible profits have thus been turned into good will, as well as into betterments, enlargements, and the ordinary costs of maintenance. By thus capitalizing profits, the company officials declare they expect

within a term of five years to effect a further substantial decrease in the price. In interviews with city officials, with members of the gas commission, and with officers of the company, all concerned agreed that the system is an unqualified success.

An Uncrowned King of Franco. The president of the French chamber enjoys an almost regal state. Every time be goes to his official palace in the Quai d'Orsay he is jrreeted by beating drums. Whenever there is a ministerial crisis he must be summoned by the president of the republic to give his advice. He receives what is an extraordinary salary for a French official 100.000 francs per annum. The appointment dates from the days of the convention. On Sept. 21. 1792. was held the debate by which the appointment was created. The first president was Petion. a violent Girondist. His six secretaries were also Girondists. It was symptomatic of the times that eight months later the seven were condemned to the guillotine by the deputies who elected them.

London Through the Ages. The occupation of the site of London dates back much farther than most readers are aware. The city that Julius Caesar found occupied a site which had been Inhabited for unnumbered thousands of years. . It Is now known that during paleolithic and neolithic times the two great divisions of the stone age man dwelt on the site of London, bnt it first became the settlement of a community at the opening of the historic age, when it was a stronghold of the Celts. The remains of its Roman period are the finest of the kind in Great Britain. The AiiglO'Saxon and Danish periods are finely represented, and even later periods, such as the Tudor, furnish relics that have been buried by that strange process of superincumbent growth which makes the soil under a great city resemble the fossiliferons strata of geology.

Today leaders of the union, while refusing to give out the vote before the ballot of the night men is completed, admit that the day men rejected the scale and intimate that the vote was almost unanimous. It was predicted by the union men that the night men would vote against the scale. This will leave the elevated and surface railroad men in the 6ame position that of having rejected the proposed scale and demanding arbitration. The meetings of the carmen, their employes and Mayor Harrison yesterday did not succeed in arranging for arbitration between the employes of the surface lines and the companies. A further meeting was held in the mayor's office today.
