C The Impression Is becoming more widespread every day that the Interstate Commerce CornmiHHlon will grant the Eastern railroads a substantial increaxe In rates as a result of the convincing testllmmy submitted by them since C per cent, advance case was begun. Carriers Involved may not receive) the full G per cent, they have asked fur. It is (tilto probable that a blanket order to thin effect will not be Issued, but an Increase that will go far toward meeting the financial needs of the rail roads Keems to be assured. And if the full amount involved in tho present proceedings is denied by tho commission the reason will be, it is now believed. I hat the commission ers have effected savings in other di rections which, they hope, will com pensate the roads through the con servation of the revenue received un der the present rate status. For instance, the commission has conducted a plmultaiieous Investiga tion into the free or cheap service, given by common carriers to private lines, to tap lines. In switclilni:. in spotting cars and in handling of freight at terminals. All these ele ments Jiave been brought into associa tion with the advance asked for and they promlso to play an Important part in the findings of the board. licprcKcutntivcs of the carriers who have appeared before the commission havo readily granted the Importance of the Inquiry into these side Issuesi They have welcomed any readjustment of tho relations of the railroads to the private lines and terminal companies tliHt will save their rompanies money, but they have never agreed that the sum involved in this free service is lare enough to meet the exactions outlined in the pending case. The commission is under direct pres sure and lnlluence from every quarter to render Its decision at tho earliest practicable moment. The carriers ar for expedition. The whole business world. In fact, is urging that tho pres ent uncertainty be ended at the earliest possible moment. 1'rnctically all testimony, for and Bpninst the railroads, has been sub' milled. The arguments will he short and the briefs will be easily digested. There seems no likelihood, therefore, that the doubt In this quarter w 111 con tlnue much longer. On April 22 MaJ. Gen. William W.

The distance from which an average man can blow out a candle rarely ex ceeds three feet, remarks the New York Tribune. If he le an adept at blowing smoke rings, however, a candle may be extinguished at 12 feet. Of course, smoke Isn't necessary. An ordinary air ring will do, and has the added advantage of being Invisible. Simply pucker the mouth as you would to blow a tmoke ring and expel air In a quick, sharp manner. It takes a good deal of practise to do it. An easier way to show the effect, if one Is doubtful, Is to place a sheet of cloth or canvas over the open side of a box otherwise closed, making a small round hole In another side. Then tap in a sharp manner on the canvas and Invisible air rings will be pro duced. If the hole is pointed at a per son's face and the rings are made be will f.-.c! them as they strike his face. Only a few trials are necessary to ex tinguish a candle at 12 feet. To ren der the rings visible a smudge may be burned In the box, or a small dish of ammonia may be placed side by side with a small dish of hydrochloric acid, the combined fumes of these liquids making a dense smoke. The explanation why one can't put out the candle nt 12 feet Is that the energy of expulsion is conserved and practically all retained In the smoke ring, while a simple blowing has to sot In motion a whole stream of air and Is, therefore, wasteful. Speaking of Races. "Saw an odd race yesterday." , "Indeed?" "Yes, it was between two dogs a fox terrier and a dashchund." "Well?" "Two saucers of milk were placed In front of them und the object was to see which could lick up his first." "Which won the race?" "The daschund won In the last lap."
