lUtOrstate Comme1ore. - Defeat of the Rtea gau 1nl1.-The Substitute Proposed. The Committee on Commerce of the Hlouse of Representatives at Washington, decided on Pebruary 13th, by a vote of nine to six, to report a substitute for the Reagan Bill. That objectionable nicasure Is practically defeated by this action. The new bill proposes to make the same laws which are applicable to railroads engaged in iransporting freight between diierent States also apply to the operations of steamboats, lake vessels and other water crafts. It provides for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners who are to have supervision of the entire subject of the transportation of freight from one State or Territory into or through other States and Territories, and to examine into any com plaints that may be made by the public of unfair action on the part of common car riers of any class that are engaged In this important business. Unjust discrimina ion Is forbidden under severe penalties, and in case any of the transportars or transporta tion companies fail to redress any sibstan tint grievances brought to the attention of the commissioners, proceedings are author ized in the United States courts. If the proposed new law is found to be not fully effective in furnishing remedies for any of the real evils that have grown up in con ,tection with the management of traispor tition between different States it is made the duty of the Commiissioners to suggest additional legislation, and to obtialn and furnish to Congress all information relating to the operations of railroads that is likely to prove useful and important it this con necetion. This bill provides much more appropriate and just methods for accom plishing such reforms as may be neded than the Reagan bill and with sonic amend mnents may be acceptable to the trans portation interest of the country: or at, any rate, willserve as a basis for action, should the plan suggested last winter he adopted by Congress, and deliite legisla tion be deferred until a commission of ex perts shall be able to thoroughly investigate Ihis complex subject and report their ma tite judgment upon the aumatters at issue. There is no (uestion that it amore intelli gent conclusion could be reached in this way, and one that would be more valuable to all the interests involved. On general principles tentative legislation is himrdly to be recommended where it involves the trafic of forty millions of people and capital aggregating forty-flive hundred mil lions of dollars. .AouI 1laU Playing.

Water below the temperature of its greatest density Is an exception to the gener; 1 law of expansion by heat and contrac tion by cold. But, for this wise -provis ion of the Ureat Lawgiver, the rivers, or even the ocean, woulid be frozen solid, and the earth would be uninhabi table. Water continues to contract by the application of cold until it touches 39.2 dog. Fahr., when the law is re versed, and from that point it expands and goes on expanding under whatever reduction of temperature. Tliis is tle reason why crockery and even iron vessels are broken by the freezing of water In them. The expansive force of confined water at and below the freez ing point is something tremendous, and it will explode a rock like a charge of gunpowder. Two OnGANs.-Regulate first the stomach, second the liver: especially the first, so as to perform their func tions perfectly and you will remove at least ninetten twentieths of all the ills that mankind is heir to, in this or any other climate. 1op Bitters is the only thing that will give perfectly healthy natural action to these two organs. Artesian wells are becoming very numerous throughout Californ'la, fresh ones being dug daily as well for irriga ting purposes In the farming lands as for general water supplies in San Fran ciNco and other cities. They cost from $250 upward, and some furnish 250,000 gallons of the purest water daily. In the San Joaqin Valley they are very numerous, eleven being in full flow. within a tract three miles by a mile - nd a half in extent, and yet their proxim ity to each other and the digging of iew wells does not diminish their flow at all, a thing that Is not the case every where. The novel experiment has been tried of forming an artie1ial lake with this water and breeding fish in it, and It has been found that the fish thrive as well In this water drawn from subterranean sources as any other.
