The manner of making up through rates, that is, rates between points neces sitating transportation ever two or mere reads, Is new comparatively elmple. Prier te the parage of the Interstate commcrre nrt, certain agreed rales prevailed at all Junction or common points (prevailed until seme ene read felt Inclined te cut), nud points local te ene read wcre fixed at ns high rates ns wcre considered necessary by the read reaching them. New, how ever, the majority of the reads have thrown their local territory open by tak ing common points as Uaiing points, and malting the rates te intermediate local territory the sainens theso in effect at the next farthest basing point. In ether words, illvldingtlie read Inte groups, each group telling certain fhed rntcs. The through rates nre divided between the reads forming the linn, en a milcige basis that Is, each read receives n crcentge of the through rate ns great -as the dis tance traversed ever its rails licars te the outlre distance from telnt of shipment te destination. I The numerous cases of delays and less of property in transit are in a large meas ure due te careless or improper marking of morchandlse by the consigner. If nil packages wcre properly and plainly marked thoseaunoyiug occurrences would be reduced te a minimum. As it Is, how ever, the systematic methods of handling freight In practice by all reads render It a imes i impossihie ler anything te be car ried te n wrong destination, although Mtne errors In routing occur which, In the ense of perishable freight, are equiva lent te actual less. When a shipment fails te nrrive en tlme a "tracer" Is sent after it. These "tracers" nre in the shape of a request upon forwarding ugent te fellow up the nhlpmcnt by means of his way bill, car number, tralm number, date nnd seals, nil of which nre kept In his station rec ords. The "tracer" is sent nleng the line traversed by the shipment, nnd ench agent In turn notes thereon date of arrival nnd departure, whether transferred Inte nn nn ether car, and seal record, and forwards te next junction point. In this manner freight is always ultimately discovered, though semetimes it takes conslderablo tlme. In urgent cases this U dene by telegraph. The great bone of contention between Hhlppers and railroads is the tlme con sumed lit adjusting claims. When n claim is paid the mass of correspondence that has accumulated is usually detached from the claimant's original papers, nnd he cannot, thorefaro, understaud Iwhy It could net have been paid eoeticr. Claims nre never purposely delayed nnd if nhlppcrs but knew the amount of labor involved, even in the simplest cases, com plaints en this scere would be less fre quent. The larger business houses nre gifted with mere paticucein this respect than the country merchants. It is also true, ns claimed by these smaller dealers, that the large shipper has his claim "put through" In much less tlme. There nre fcovernl reasons for this; the constant shipper, In presenting n claim, accompa nies it with nil necessary documents, nnd gives a clear nnd concise statement of the case, whereas the country merchant writes iiiambllug sort of letter, threatening te glvenll ills shipments te the A., I), nnd 0. read, nnd te de vnrleus otlier terrible things In the event of non-payment of his claim, and studiously avoids giving par ticulars, thus, In home cases, forcing the railroad te make out n cawj against itself. A mistake the country merchant fre quently makes is te Bend his claim te the Milppcrs, nskiug them te push It through for him. Tills courseof procedure nlwnjs causes delay. A claim presented by the owner of the property if bill of lading or receipt, nud paid freight bill, together with n letter of explanation, is submitted te the delivering read will be handled with dispatch, be the claimant n large or small shipper. As n geueral rule overcharge claims nre the most quickly disposed of. If occa sioned by t error of ene read in n line such rend usually stands the amount, and If the claim be based en a rnte in fmce by n competing route all reads interested wllllugly rcduce te that llgute upeu pro pre pro Huntatfen of proof. The les and d.imnge claims are mere dilllcult te handte. In the investigation of tkese matters, particularly darange claims, each reed attempts te disprove any liability, nnd endeavors te nhift the responsibility upon another, nnd it is this discussion betwecn the reads which causes the delays complained of most frequently. The methed of investigating claims of this nature is simple enough. The shipment is traced through from point of shipment, nnd the read n whose line fthlpmeut checks damaged or short pays the damage. It often happens, however, that the less or dumage cannot be located. It is tlieu that correspond ence accumulates, nnd the clnlmnnt's hair turns gray while waiting for his eucher. In cases where it is utterly lraposslble te 1 eca te the damnge or less it is te custpm for nil reads participating in the haul te join in payment of the damages.

' THE RED flaSEnffifiST IT HAS BEEN LATELY MAPPED WITH GREAT'PRECISION. Wey Are Rtmlylng It BarfiM with ,'Mm 1'ewerfnl OlaM of the Uck Otowrratery. FelaU About IU drat Caul Bad the Continent Libya. Astronomers and these generally inter ested in astronomy are eagerly expecting eme Interesting devekmmenta from the mammoth refracting teleacope recently mounted In the Uck observatory in Cali fornia. There are two elements that en ter Inte observations made with this lei lei lei eseope which combined are expected te make some rcmarkabla revelations as te the heavenly bodies, ort least seme of them the great power of the instru ment and the dryness of the atmosphere through which the objects are viewed. Tolescepcs during the present century have been remarkably developed, and the most important single instance of this development is the object glass of the Lick refractor. Up te the year 1815 there' was no glass In America larger than 8 inches in diameter, while 13 and 14 Inches were the sizes of the largest glasses abroad. The dimensions have been growing till 00 Inches has been at tained in the Lick glass, or 0 inches greater in diameter than any glas previously made. The ether clement of advantage for this instrument the atmospheric dryness of the coun try In which it is located has for many years drawn the attention of astronomer te California. A dry atmos phere Is' beneficial In astronomical obser vation because of Its clearness and stead iness. MAP OF MARS. The continents are white, the bodies of water black. The continents are here represented by numbers as follews: 1, Amnzenls; 2, Mcmnenla: 8, Phlegra; -1, Zephyria, 5, Acelis; 0, Elysium; 7, Hes perla; 8, Aelherla; i), Libya; 10, Aerla; 11, Arabia; 12, Eden; 10, Edem; II, Chry Bia; 1C, Tempe; 10, Thessis; 17, Arcadia. The three islands nre ns fellows, in the order of their filze: Thryle I, Thrylp II, Argyle II. It bheuld be explained that this map is drawn en what is known as Mcrcater's projection. Thnt Is, ns If the planotwcre cylindrical in form, nnd ltstsurfacehad been peeled off nnd rolled out fiat like se much paper. Tite map should be viewed with the paper held sidowlse, with the Seuth pole (surrounded by the Australian Bea) at the top. This reversal of the poles is common te nil astronomical maps, and is the result of tbe revcrslng powers of nil astronomical telescopes. Nebula) nre perhaps the best ebjects en which te test new glasses; nt least they are the most delicate. As each new glass is put ou certain nebula) parts that liave appeared filmy through ether telescopes ' nre resolved Inte stars. But the faverite object for astronomers in the planetary By&icm en which te bring new glasses te bear Is the planet Mars, especially when Mars is in what is called opposition that is, when the planet, which.rovelves In an orbit nest exterior te that of the earth, is en the same slde of the sun with the earth, and is I-IC.000,000 miles nenrcr us than when It is en the oppeslto side of the earth from the sun. Tn 18-15, when the first of the lorger bize glasses came te America, Mars and the earth wcre as clese together ns they ever get, or at an inter inter vel of about C3, 000,000 miles, nnd the glass was tested upon the planet and seme new points noted. The Lick observatory wus netiready for observations till the mlddle of July Inst. An opposition of Mars took place during March, April and May; but notwithstanding that they were rather late for favorable observations, the astron omers of the Lick observatory made a number of careful drawings of the planet'a disc as Been through the instrument. M. Schiaparelli, of the observatory at Milan, Italy, has dovetcd himself te the study of Mars, and has made a map of Its Burface, which Is here giyen. The por tions which are given in black in the map nre euppebcd te represent water, the whlte land. On the planet these differ ences nre, of course, very much slighter in degrce, and nre differences in color. It will be Been thnt the map divides the sur face into the land and the seas, nnd the lines whicli cress in every direction nre called canals, theugli this Is a misnomer, for seme of them nre 1,000 miles long and 80 miles wide. They are supposed te be the same substonce ns what nre called Martian sens, because they nre of the Bame color. The transitions, hewever, en the plan et's surface nre be sudden as te seriously interfere with the land and water theory. M. Perretln, director of the obsorvatery nt Nice, declares that the continent marked Libya en the map, nleut equal te Erance in area, entirely disappeared bo be t ween two observations, the latter made in April last. The truth is that the sun nnd nil the great planets which we cau hee under fnvomble circumstances under go apparent lapid burface changes. The variations en the disc of Saturn and the "clouds" of Jupiter have long puzzled as tronomers. A few j ears nge n great red spot appeared en tho"uwui.e of the latter planet, which lias net jet entirely faded away. There occasionally appear spots en the sun inle which the whele earth could be thrust, and befere the astron omer cau make a drawing the whele ap pearance of the vast crater has changed. The theory, therefore, that Mars is com posed of continents which are constantly being changed in their area or submerged by oceans must be taken purely r.j . theory. The astronomers themselves de net agree, even in their observations. Professer Uelden, of the Llclc observa tory, Bays: "Out of forty drawings which we have been able te secure since July 10, l less than eight represent the continent Libya in its accustomed place." Perretln Bays the continent Mlsappeared Jast April. Mr. D. Smart, of Londen, and M. l'lam l'lam marien, of Paris, both confirm Mr. Uel. den's observations. Professerllolden gives the most reasonable explanation of the disappearance and reappearance, of Libya by supposing it te occur from the passage of cloud. This Is certainly mere roason reason roasen nblothantonttributoit te overflow or sub sub sub mcrgonce. Meanwhile the world waits for some remarkable discovery by means of the great Lick telescope, which has cost se much pains, and which Is supposed te unite such great advantages.
