WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. The investiga
tion into the recent advances of freight
rates on grain, parking house products.
Iron and other commodities was concluded
ftortay.
rice President Caldwell ot the Delaware,
Lackawanna A Western, Comptroller Buck
ley and General Traffic Manager Wight of
the Baltimore at Ohio, Freight Traffic Man
ager Powell of the Southern, General
Freight Agent Knight of the Wabash. Traf
fic Manager Guthrie of the New Tork Cen
tral, George F. Brownell of the Erie and
F. W. Janvlerr, counsel for the Lehigh
Valley were witnesses. In general thev
contended that the increases were based on
commercial and traffic conditions, present
and prospective, but admitted that the
earnings ot their systems were ample.
In reply to questions by Assistant Secre
tary Decker of the commission, Mr. Buckley
said the Baltimore ft Ohio waa contemplat
ing an advance of salaries to men getting
1200 a month or more. The Increase in
salaries of men getting $200 and under,
which went Into effect on January 1, would
make the cost of labor at the end of the
present fiscal year $3,000,000 higher than
for last year. The exteut of the Increase
now In contemplation waa not settled, but
he did not believe the net expenses ot the
road would be greater than before, because
ot Increased traffic competition.
When he was asked sbout coal expenses,
Mr. Buckley said both he and the general
superintendent believed coal prices, which
have been steadily Increasing, would go
higher.
Mr. Wight agreed that the cessation ot
the rebate practlre had saved the railroads
much money, but declined to make any
estimate of the amount.
Mr. Caldwell reviewed the attitude ot
traffle managers and contended that the
railroads were the real basis of commer
cial prosperity and without them the Indian
still would be roaming the land. The rail
roads were entitled to a fair return from
the Investment on the basts ot service given
and not according to what so-and-so sayt.
"Is what the courts and legislators have
said about reasonable rates all nonsense,
or Is It otherwise?" asked Commissioner
Prouty.
"The supreme court decision," answered
Mr. Csldwell, referring to a freight rate
derision, "is not. In my opinion, altogether
practical."
Continuing, witness referred to the rail
road policy of avoiding depressing rates,
which he claimed had maintained commer
cial prosperity.
"Your' Idea, then," auggested Mr. Prouty,
"la that railroad men of the past have been
actuated by a spirit of pstriotisra?"
"No," replied Mr. Caldwell, "but many
were."
He said much of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna A Western stock was held by chart
table organizations.
"Then," Interposed Commissioner Prouty,
"when I have to pay $1 more for coal de
livered at my home I am making a contribu
tion to some charitable organization."
Numerous questions were asked to ascer-'
tain what the railroads thought would be
a fair return on Investments, but the com
missioners could get no specific answer.
WHERE SOUTH WINDS BLOW
Coral-TlpiM-d Islands Swept ky Devas
tating Hsrrlesst and Tldnl
Wave.
The experience of the Taumotu Islands
with a tropical cyclone last month, of
which news has just been received from
Tahiti, illustrates once more the rule that
heavy mortality Is an Indirect and not a
direct consequence of such storms. Ship
wreck, prostration of buildings and other
damage to property are usually Immediate
effects of the wind, says the New York
Tribune, but any considerable loss of life
la almost Invariably the result of floods
and tidal waves caused by the hurricane.
Such was the case at Galveston only a few
years ago, when ' something like 10,000
deaths were reported within a day or two.
Even more appalling disasters ot the same
character have occurred on the shores ot
Bengal Bay after the visit ot an East
Indian typhoon to that part of the world.
That Hikuero and her alater Islands
should suffer ao severely from auch a
meteorological disturbance is easily ex
plained. They are nothing but vast coral
reefs, rising only te the level of the sea
from unknown depths and covered with
little sand. Had they originated from vol
canic action, as have most of the Society
Islands, and the Marqueaas and Samoan
groups, they wonld undoubtedly have stood
out of the water hundreds of thousands
of feet. Only their coasts wpuld have beea
affected. A wave twenty or thirty feet
high might make a good deal of trouble,
but it could not travel far Inland. It la
doubtful If the Paumotu Island were more
than ten or fifteen feet above the level ot
high tide. No wonder that the great nav
igator Cook should think "Dangerous" aa
appropriate name for them!
Large aa waa the destruction of human
life from thla cause last month. It prob
ably creates less of a sensation In the
metropolis of the New World than a more
trifling sacrifice nearer home. It la no
exaggeration to aay that the Weatfleld ac
cident a fortnight ago, which waa attended
with scarcely more tkan a score of deaths,
produced a much greater shock In this
community. The difference Is partly ona of
mental perspective. A hand beld at the
distance of only two feet from the eye
covers a wider angle than a cathedral a
mile away. So. too, the Importance of
events depends upon their geographical
nearness. It is natural and p'.oper to feel
a livelier sympathy for the former than
the latter. No one possessing the aver
age amoukt of aenslblllty can view with
Indifference the audden extinction of a thou
sand liver, but he might well be stiri:
more deeply by a alnfle death in his 0.11
immediate environment and aphere.
Among those Paumoru 'slanders who sur.
vlved last month's visitation the moat
pressing need would be for food. At the
present time summer weather prevails in
the southern hemisphere. Besides, the
scene of the calamity Ilea within fifteen or
twenty degrees at the equator. Clothing
Is needed there only for decency. Even
roofs could be dispensed with for weeks
without Serious Inconvenience. Yet in the
most genial ot climatee msn must eat. It
la not unlikely that all accumulations ot
grain and jfrult and nuts existing before
the recent flood were swept away thereby.
Sickness and starvation, therefor., may
poaaibly carry off many who were not
drowned.

CANARY THAT CAN WHISTLE
Remarkable Bird Possessed by aa
Actress Cheerily Pipes,
"I'aa a Lody."
There are a few casea on record of
canaries that have learned things. There
Is a bird out In Iowa that it reported to
whistle "Yankee Doodle" all the way
through. A woman who lives In Philadel
phia haa a canary which distinctly says
"Pretty Dewey, dear." These accomplish
ments, however, are surpassed by "Pltty

In the world a bird that can whistle In
perfect musical tune th answering refrain
of a soag. It belongs to Miss Haute Wil
liams,' who has the leading female role in
"The Rogera Brothers Jn Harvard" at the
Illinois . theater. Jt waa during tho re
hearsal ot the song "I'm Lady." which Is
sung br Miss Williams, that Pltty Pat de
veloped his remarkable mimic refrain.
When Miss William was "trying the
song out" at her piano Pltty Pat waa alt
ting on top of the Instrument. Miss Wil
liams played the song over a few tlmea and
whistled It again and again Instead of sing
ing It. Finally ahe began playing and sing
ing It softly. Of course ahe did not .alng
the chorus answer. To her surprise when
she . repeated the retrain- from somewhere
above her head came -the whistle ot the
answer,' Just' aa she had whistled It a few
momenta before. It was Pltty Pat sitting
on the upright piano case looking at her,
with his head eocked over comically on onu
side.
To see if the bird would do It again she
played the chorus over. Beyond doubt this
Is the only bird that haa any appreciation
of the musical bugaboo "time." The bird Is j
a Harts mountain canary, with a yellow
breast and brown, wings, and was given to
Miss Williams In . Los Angeles, Cal., as a

COLORS IN PHOTOGRAPHS
Recent Advacoes in Applying the Three
Plate System.
COLORED SCREENS SECURE GOOD RESULTS
Methods Pinned In Ueveloplnar the
Keiratlvee and In Printing A
Series of Complicated
Proeeases.
That system of reproducing color by
photographic meana which has given the
best practical results Is the one which em
ploys three separate negatives, reports the
New York Tribune. One sensitive plate Is
exposed by Itself In the usual manner, ex
cept that a red glass screen or filter Is
placed In front of It. Without moving the'
camera or changing the focus, a aecond
plate is exposed behind a blue screen, and
finally a third one is used with a green
screen. When these three plates are de
veloped they all bear the same picture,
but a comparison will ehow that the dif
ferences between light and shade (in black
and white) In one are not Identical with
thoae of the others.
Halftone blocks made from these neg
ative are used tn succession on an or
dinary printing press with colored Inks, as
In chromo lithography. With the block de
rived from the red screen the printing Is
done with blue Ink, while yellow Ink It
employed for the blue screen block, and
pink or-red Ink with the one which "was
made with the green filter. If the- right
shade of pigment has been chosen. If the
Impressions are equally heavy, and If the
three successive pictures match exactly
"register," as the pressman says a ftlr
degree or fidelity to the original tints and
hues Is secured.
Oelatlne Prints.
Instead of transferring the result of the
work done by the camera to paper for mul
tiplication, the photographer may want to
make a lantern slide that can be exhibited
by a lecturer. He will then pursue a dif
ferent method. He can make a print on
transparent gelatine from each of the three
platea, and then dye them properly. It tbey
are mounted, one in front of another, their
effects may be combined In a single slide.
LTwo or three methods of prepsrlng such
films have been devised, but that with
whose development Sanger Shepherd (ot
England) is identified is Just now regarded
the most satisfactory.
It wat long ago discovered that If a
certain chromium aalt waa added to gel
atine, and a film of the latter was exposed
to the action of light under an ordinary
photographic negative, this effect would be
produced: Under the clearest and most
transparent parte of the negative the gel
atine would be hardened so as to be prac
tically Insoluble, while those parts that
lay under the dente portions of the neg
ative would be almost unaffected. Tho
Intermediate shades would act according
to their density. If, afterward, the surface
of the film were thoroughly washed, fhe
protected psrts would psrtlallv dissolve,
while those acted upon most strongly by
the light would stand up higher than the
rest of the surface. In other words, there
would be a colorless Imsge In relief, the
thickest portions corresponding to what
were the shadows In the orglnal aubject,
while the thinnest ones would correspond
to the high lights. Staining would now
give transparencies In a single color, and
the amount of stain absorbed would be
governed by the depth of the gelatine at ,
any particular point. To three Alms, one

Another Method.
It was also found that If these films, in
stead ot being mounted together In a lan
tern slide, were laid down over a sheet ot
white paper and made to stick thereto, a
picture at good as, or better than, that ob
tained with halftone blocka and a litho
graphic press would be secured. Of course
the surface would not be absolutely level
and the process waa a troublesome one, but
the picture Itself would be an excellent one.

the superposed films with a degree of brlght-

One more advance has now haen made
upon thla process. Until recently it was

Monetary Force Wielded by the In

the
Probsbly very tew people who live and
work outside the money markets have ever
paused to consider '.he tremendous mone
tary force wielded by the Insurance com
panies of the United States. The amount
ot money that these concerns handle Is
enormous. One may read that at present
the sixty-seven leading life Insurance com
panies of the United States hold securities
of all kinds that aggregate more than $1,
(00,000,000. Imagination falls to grasp such
figures. It Is equivalent :o saying thst
there are 1,500 banks In the country, each
of which haa $1,000,000 which It must keep
Invested.
Striking as these figures are, they do
not Include the holdings of the lesser in
surance companies and they pay no heed
to the money controlled by the little multi
tude of large and small Are insurance com-!
panles.
Of course, the bulk of the money beld by
an Insurance company haa to be Invested:
that Is to ssy, every dollar not needed for
running expenses and for the prompt pay
cent of claims. It is like a fairy tale of
j finance when one reads what use Is made
of the millions on millions psld to Insur
ance companies.
During the year 1901, for example, the
total of the incomes of the sixty-seven
leading life Insurance companies waa some
thing like $376.(X ,CO0. Of this money
about $175,000,000 waa paid to policy hold
era or to their heirs. More than $77,000,
000 waa disbursed for operating expenses.
Still more than $130,000,000 wa left. Some
"economists" have figured that such fscts
show a "surplus" in which policy holders
do not partlclpate.--H. Irving Hancock in

WHAT A FALL MY COUNTRYMEN
Rise and Fall of the Bleyele the Moat
Itemarkahle In the History of
Americas Trade.
There were 300 bicycle factories In the
United. States In 1895. Tbey produced annually-
500,000 machines. These machine
cost the users $37,500,000 each year, and the
tupply was not equal to the demand. '
Nearly 800,000 bicycles were manufactured
In 1890, but the price declined 40 per cent
In the next two or three years and the
aupply was in ercess of the demand.
In 1898 the membership of the League of
American Wheelmen was 103,000: It is now
5.830. In 1SHS there were In the United
Statea fifty newspapers devoted to cycling;
now there la only one.
Five year ago our boulevards and park
ways were crowded with bicycle riders;
last summer there were comparatively few
on atreeta or boulevards. Five years ago
to be fashionable waa to ride a wheel;
last summer to ride a wheel was to be un
fashionable. The bicycle has fallen trom Ha high pop
ularity. Wheeling baa ceased to re a
hobby, and ranka simply aa ordinary recrr
atlon. Most of the capital Invested in bi
cycle factorlea haa been turned Into other
channela. The sales of wheels are not one
twentieth as large as in 1898, and the
membership of the league haa declined in
the same proportion.
. There were twenty bicycle stores in Chi
cago In 1898 where there is one now. Of
the many bicycle clubs In 1898 only on
maintains Ita organisation now. The local
rf wheela declined 90 per cent In
