Kanxns Says Differential Hale on Hour and Mill Stuff lo the Pacific Count Works an Injuxtlce on Thnt Htntv Complaint Filed With Inter state Commerce OomiiiUwIon (luirges Discrimination In Rates. Washington, March IS. Are the transcontinental railroads In league with the milling Interests of the Pa cific coast terminals? From Kansas comes the cyclonic answer that such Is the case and that Kansas milling Industry perishes even as the state cries for help. The Howards Mill company, of Wichita, Kan., by Its complaint filed with the Interstate commerce commission proposes to show that the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe and Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific, the Chicago, Burlington A Qulncy, and Denver & Rio Grande, The Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific railroad companies are guilty of doing an Injustice to and discrim inating agnlnst all Kansas milling business, not only the Interest of the Howard mills, but all flour manu facturers of the Sunflower state. In Its complaint the Howard Mills company declares that the railroads exact a rate of 85 cents per 100 pounds for the transportation of flour from Wichita, Kan., to San Francisco, Cal., and other Pacific coast termi nals In carload lots, whereas at the same time they charge a rate of only 55 cents for wheat between the same points In the same lots. "This dif ferential of 10 cents In favor of wheat against flour exists from all Kansas points to Pacific coast terminals," says the complaint. It Is pointed out that from Spokane, Wash., and Port hind, Ore., to San Francisco, the rates on flour and wheat are the same. "Such differentials operates dlsas trouKly to the flour mills of Kansas and unjustly upbuilds the milling In ten-ot of the Pacific coast terminals, which are In competition with the flour mill of Kansas." concludes the complaint. "Dealers, manufacturers. and shippers of flour at Pacific coast terminals receive undue and unjust preference, in violation of the act to regulate commerce." The commission will designate a dale at which testimony will be taken In regard to the matter. COW SHOD 11 ALASKA. Two Mllcli Cows . Will Travel 409 Miles Over Trail. Two milch cows. Intended for ship ment to Fairbanks, were shod here today, says a Seattle dispatch. Husky blackomiths fastened to each of their hoofs, a small Iron plate, lighter than a horseshoe, but east has a two-Inch caulk. The two cows are to be driven In over the Valder trail, drawing sledges loaded with the hay they will eat on the trip. It was a most difficult task to shoe the two cows. They were driven into a stall made of heavy timber and barred In. Then their legs were strapped, and the blacksmiths, wrestl ing with the struggling cows, fastened on the shoes. The trip to be made by the cows Is of 400 miles, over snow and Ice fields that would make progress extremely difficult without shoes. Farmers, Attention.

"ssSilMiiiEnZii THE AGILE TIGER. Bm Is "Sao With Ilk-aM" and la aa ttalek mm Usfhtnlas;. Most wild animals are specialists that la to say, they are highly develop ed in one particular direction. The tiger is great as a stalker. - Ills feet seem to be "shod with alienee." It. H. Elliot, for many years a resident of India, cited an experience -(if one of his neighbors illustrative of this point. He had been much annoyed by tigers and at last tied a bullock out In a clear ing and took up bis own position In a tree to wait till the tiger should come after the bait The ground was cov ered with dried leaves, which In hot weather ana so brittle that even the walking of a bird over them can be beard for a good distance. In no very long time a large tiger slipped out of the forest and slowly edged toward the bullock, nis method was so elaborate and careful that the man who saw It used to declare that It would have been worth 1,000 rupees to any young sportsman to have wit nessed It -j So carefully did he put down each paw and so gradually did be crush the leaves under it that not a sound was to be beard. Bet ween him &nd the bul lock was a stump about four feet high. with long projecting surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as a godsend. He got upon one of the roots, bal anced himself carefully and so was able to walk quickly and silently as far as the stamp, ne approached so gradually and noiselessly and bis col- or against the brown leaves was so invisible that he was close upon the bullock before be was perceived. Then Instantly the bullock charged. The tiger eluded him and In a moment more had bis paws on the bullock s neck ready to drug him down. Then. like a flash, be caught sight of the rope by which the bullock was tied and turned and sprang Into the forest all so quickly that the man in the tree bad no opportunity to fire. SIZE OF A THUNDERBOLT. Geloaiaa Have a System br Which Bach Measures Are Taken. "Did you ever see the diameter of a lightning flash measured 7" asked a geologist. "Well, here Is the case which once Inclosed a flash of lightning, fitted It exactly, ao that you can see how big It was. This is called a 'fulgurite, or 'lightning hole,' and the material It is made of is glass. "When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed of sand it plunges downward into the sand for a distance less or greater, transforming simultaneously Into glass the silica In the material through which It passes. Thus by Its great heat It forms a gluss tube of precisely its own size. "Now and then such a tube, known as a fulgurite, Is found and dug up. Fulgurites have been followed Into the Band by excavations for nearly thirty feet Tbey vary in interior diameter from the size of a quill to three inches or more, according to the 'bore' of the flash. Hut fulgurites are not produced alone In sand. They are found also In solid rock, though very naturally of slight depth, and frequently existing as a thin, glassy covering on the surface. "Such fulgurites occur In astonishing abundance on the summit of Little Ara rat In Armenia. The rock Is so soft and porous that blocks a foot long can be obtained, perforated In all direc tions by little tubes filled with bottle green glass formed from the fused rock. "Borne wonderful ftilgarites were found by Humboldt on the high Nevada de Toluca, In Mexico. Masses of the rock were covered with n thin layer of green glass. Its iiecvillur shimmer In the sun led Humboldt to ascend the precipitous peak at the risk of bis life." It Won For Sardon. It is a singular fact that the famous French dramatist Sardou owed his first success on the boards to his excellent handwriting.

MENTAL REACTION. the Blind Quickness of Operation and Haw It Is Measarcd. Let a dozen or twenty persons take bold of bands In a rinj. Each is to press the band of bis right band neigh bor as soon as be receives a pressure from the left. One person starts the pressure going and at the same Instant observes the position of the second band of a watch. The pressure passes all around the circle, and when it ar rives at the originator be notes bow many seconds were required for tbe given number of persons in succession to receive an impression and make up their minds to act In response. The total time is then divided by the num ber of persons. This is a crude illus tration of the reaction time which we measure with great accuracy on single persons. As the mental portion of the reaction time becomes more complicated the time becomes longer. For example, tbe processes of mental discrimination and choice require times of their own. The way we get these "higher" mental processes can be illustrated In a sim ple way. A person placed in a quiet room Is to tap a telegraph key every time he sees a red light, which can be produced at the will of the experi menter in the recording room. The in terval of time between the actual ap pearance of the light and the moment tbe key is tapped Is accurately meas ured. For awhile nothing but the red light Is used, this to obtain tbe simple reaction time. Then red and yellow lights are turned on In Irregular suc cession. The person bos now to dis criminate between two colors and to choose between action and nonaction, The Increase of time required over tbe simple reaction time gives tbe dis crimination time for two colors. In an other set of experiments three colors are used, then four colors. As the discrim ination and choice become more com plicated more time Is required. Tbe Importance of rapid and accurate reaction and discrimination is evident Astronomers havq difficulty In record ing the moment at which a star passes a line in the telescope. The sports man must pull the trigger nt just the proper moment. The football player, the fencer nnd the boxer are trained In rapidity of discrimination and reac tion. It Is very evident that a player or a pugilist who takes a long time for discrimination, choice and volition will give n decided advantage to a quick opponent. Forpim. DISRAELI'S MAXIMS. Every one loves power, even if be does not know what to do with it. Always have distinguished friends. ever have fools for friends. They are of no use. To govern men you must cither excel them lu their accomplishments or de splse them. To rule men we must be men. Our wisdom must be concealed under folly aud our constancy under caprice. Next to knowing when to seize an op portunlty the most Important thing In life is to know when to forego an ad vantage. Tbe divine right of kings may have been a plea for feeble tyrants, but the divine right of government is the key stone of human progress. Talk to women as much as you can. This is the way to gain fluency, be cause you need not cure what you say and bad better not be sensible. . Ther Didn't Plar. A monster political parade was held in Philadelphia during one of the cam paigns. It was headed by a band of thirty-five discoursing stirring mnrch- Ing tunes. The leader of the band hud contracted in advance to supply thnt mnny plnyers, but when he enme to count noses he found eight missing. It did not take him long to decide what to do. After some hustling be secured eight u.i-u, not one of whom could play a note of music, and decked them out in the regulation band uniform. He placed Instruments nnd music In their bnnds nnd paraded the full number. "Did they play?" was asked. "Yes," said the band lender, "but not music. I put a cork in each of the eight instru ments." enable. That was both a kind and a wise man who, when about to marry for the sec ond time,' settled $10,000 upon his un married dnughter. "1 should like to have her go on living at home," he said, "but who can tell whether she nnd her stepmother will be harmonious nnd quite bnppy together? She ahull feel that she Is free to go or stay." The consequence was mtitnlly hnppy rein Hons, since both women knew there was no dependence or necessity for them to live In closer relations than might prove agreeable. The Domlnnnt Air. As through an opera runs the rhythm of one domlnnnt air, so through men's lives tbere rings a domlnnnt note, soft in youth, strong In mnnhood and soft gnin in old age. But it Is always there, and, whether soft In the gentler periods or strong amid the noise of the peri helion, it dominates always and gives Its tone to the whole life. Hie Happiest Hour.

The Fair FheWinning Stroke If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit In a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to chrxise one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas ant Syrup of Figsmanufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required.
