The Boston Transcript ventures to point out that the so-called equinoc- tial storm—the line-storm—is a delus- ion, for, have not been' in two hundred years more than a dozen storms in close connection with the equinox. As many as that could have been connegted with any other arbitrary date at this season of the year. 5 “That the moon exerts an influence upon the tides,” says The Transcript, “has been demonstrated, and science has declared the Teason for it, but that the sun when passing southward mobi- lizes theswinds and marshals the clouds for an angry demonstration is one of the delusions that has thus far as a matter of fadt, therej As day was hrrnkmg he prison goveraor and his, staff made their-way to -the cell of Constant Troustat, and Were conside surprised to find the condemned man alrea busy at his toilet.

SEpEpe— THE SMUGGLING HABIT. Collector Loeb of the New York cus- tem house has made it plain to the country that smuggling in the past has Been made toa easy and too re- spectable. The millions taken from the government by the Sugar trust were only a part of the millions of which Uncle Sam was being annually robbed. Collector Loeb's decisive methods of investigation and his disregard of the wealth or stamding of the culprit when cornered hes made a far-reaching im- pression which facilitates the work of the inspectors on the arrival of the ocean liners. “Declare everything” is now the watchwerd of returning travelers. The fate of wealthy smugglers detected in their attempted impositions has been sent abread by cable and Jetter, and now the wireless is used to warn pas- sengers upon approaching steamers. As a result declarations are full and specific, and the work of customs in- spectors is made easy. Collector Loeb is no more popular with the violators of law than Roose- velt is, but he is constantly increas- ing in popularity with the people. There is no reason why those who are best able to pay duties should be permitted to dodge them. fa Con- SECRETARY WILSON PAYS POST- AGE. This is,a wonderful example that Secretary, Wilson of the agricultural department has set for all who en- joy the franking privileze. He draws the line at sending free through the mails a speech delivered-on Saturday last. It was about to be done by th departmental clerks, but Secretary ‘Wilson sent on his personal check to cover the postage and directed that the dues should be paid. By this act he leads in what ought to be a great reform. It is not the franking privilege so much as the abuse of it that creates postal deficits. Sending anything from a bar of soap to a bathtub free by mail, or from a hammer to a planing machine, cannot be regarded as a legitmiate exerc the privilege. Secretary Wilson does not think that the franking of h speeches ijs, either, and this may prompt other men in public life to sponge less out of the government un- der the rules of special privileges. There is plenty of chance for reform along these lines. ,The Rutland News says: “If a mil- llon doilars is expended in the electri- ficatien of the Hoosae tunnel, North Adams will get a great deal of busi- ness out of the work, as the work will be carried on from that city. It was the construction of the Hoosac tunnel put North Adams, the ‘“T'unuel City, on its feet in the first place.” Wemen are not eligible to Masonic hodies; but a few Jersey City women took trowels and helped to lay brick for a new church. They can put up walls if they cannot “meet on the square and part on the level.” With the nomination of a congress- mam, in the Second district Tuesday, the Connectient gelegation was made complete by the Pepublicans. The good old " state is confidently expected to elect every one of them. resisted all assaults. One authority says: “The equinoctial storm is sim- ply a name given to the heaviest storm that happens to occur within a few weeks at the date of .the equino: Sometimes it does not come until Oc- tober, and the believers in it say that it has been delayed, as though . the sun occasionally failed to get.through its operations on schedule time. Some- times it occurs in early September or late August, and then it is described as ahead of time.” This is indeed sad news for those who see in the line storm the auguries for the coming six months, and who bank upon them with as much if not more faith than they bank upon the Scriptural promises. wagon'to a star than to one of these old traditional forecasters. THE REFORMED GAME OF FOOT- BALL. WhHile the friends of the game of football have always denied that it needed reforming, it is now noticeable that they say that the fever for the game is increasing and that even the high schools are” ambitious to take on the game because of the new rules. Those versed in the sport say that the new game will be more fopen, speedy, safe and interesting than the old. There will be no more battering- ram play; no more massed interfer- ence; no more flying tackles, and no more crawling by the man with the pall—this latter play being one which always tempted his opponents to “pile up” on him and end his progress. In- stead of halves, the game is divided into four periods of fifteen minutes each, thus shortening it by.ten min- utes. Between the first -and second, and the third and ‘fourth periods, there will be intermissions of three minutes each, these giving the men a breathing spell and affording the coaches and trainers oppoyunity to re- move any that may be injured. Such changes and others that might be in- dicated seem to assure a running and kicking game. The new rules will, Walter Camp expresses it, “put a pre- miium upon the active and aggressive back.” In the case of linemen, adds, “brains and agility are so essen- tial that some weight may be sacr ficed for these advantages.” Moreover, “jt will hardly be necessary to secure star ends, as it was of old’ because the new end now coming down under a kick has such protection that even an average player could fill the pos tion. The game may not be quite as tamo and inviting as this des ption makes it, but if it is robbed of half its fatali- ties it will be a great improvement. NEW AUTOMOBILE RULES. The Boston fire insurance agents who take risks upon automobiles have met and made a new schedule of rates which went into effect on September 15th, all renewals being subject to the new rates. It is expressly stipulated that upon 1910 and 1911 model cars costing from upwards the insurance cannot than 50 per cent. of thé ori nal list price. Thus a car $5,000 cannot be insured for $2,600. If insured for the minimum the rate is 2 3-4 per cent. But if this car is insured for $3.500° or more the rate is 2 1-4 per cent. Cars costing from $1,500 to $3,499 of 1910 and 1911 models cannot be insured for less than fifty per cent. of the original list price; cars of this price classification, but of 1909 models, cannot be insured for more than 30 per cent. of the orig- inal list price, and cars of the same price classification of 1908 model can- not be insured-for more than 60 per cent, of the original list price. On cars costing up to $1,499 the INSURANCE costing less than e requirement as to minimum insurance holds geod on 1910 and 1911 models. On 1909 models the maximum ins ance is 70 per cent. of the original list price. and or 1908 models 50 per cent. On cars of 1907 model tiere is an e: tra charge of 1-4 per cent. on ca originally costing™ up to $1,999. cept on cars costing $3.560 or more originally the jnaximum amount of in- surance on 1907 models is 40 per cent. oider than 1207 /models are ac- cepted only at an advance over the 1907 rates. On all private pleasure ears ihat are insured with a private garage war ranty there is a reduction of one- fourth per cent. from the schednle rate, The private garage warran stipulates that the car shall be 1 t in specified private garage or stable, except that it may be sed in an- other building for fifteen days at a time, if the car is en route of being cleaned or repaired. For electric automobiles the rate is decreased from 2 1-2 to 2 per cent, with ‘a reduction of 1-4 per cent. lor private garage warranty.
