OPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCCEDINGS m (RIVERS AND HARBORS CONGRESS' "Phe Official Call has been issued for the-Eighteenth Convention of the Nation- al Rivers’‘and Harbors Congress, which is td be-held.in Washington, D. C., on Wed- nesdayfand Thursday, December 6 and 7. Thi$*wilt be the second convention of the congress' in 1922, "the Seventeenth, which would Trégularly. have been held in Dec- efber, 1921, having been postponed until the Ist and 2nd of March of this year be- causé of the Conference on the Limita- tion of Armament. One of the liveliest discussions at the coming convention will center around the questiorf whether or not water competition justifies a violation of the long-and-short haul, clause of the Interstate Commerce Act. Before the Interstate: Commerce law was passed, the railroads reduced the rates to-waterway points to any extent that was necessary to destroy water competition récauping themselves for the losses so in- curred by charging higher- rafies-.to in- termediate points and much higher rates tz inland points ‘equally distant but no intermediate. ¢ "Phe-eities situated on waterways insist’ that they are entitled to the benefis due to. their location, including lower freight rates than inland points and realroads de- clare that inland points are entitled, not to the:same rates as waterway points, but to ratemithat are reasonable for the service rendered’ ;that if they are not allowed to mak“:cumpeting rates to waterway points all ,tié.'.’traffic would go by boat instead of by.rail and that this would cause suehi a; loss of railway revenues that, in order to avoid.bankruptcy, they would have to cgna.rge to inland ports ratesthat are much higher than those they now pay. The Intermediate Rate Association has agreed-to furnish a speaker to state their views and it is expected that a speak_er from some city on the Pacific Coast will present the other side of the question, af- ter. which it will be thrown open for dis- cussion by the delegates to the convention. $———§ .

The green ray is not exactly a new discovery; but there is a great revival ot interest in the alleged phe- nomenon. Doctor Molder, a Dutch scientist, has just written an elaborate book on the green ray, and says he saw it at Xifracombe in July, 1907. The late Lord Kelvin and Sir Henry Miers, of Manchester, are other witnesses. .~ In 1832 Jules Verne published a Te- markable novel on this rare phenome non.
