Developments Here and There,
The' tides of the bay of Fundy will be
harnessed for electric power.
An electric sand-papering outfit is ' one
of the latest electrical devices.
Enarland Is now in direct telegraphic com
munication with India, a distance of 5,374
miles.
A wireless plant will be Installed on the
top of the tower of the city nan of pnna
dclphla, 500 feet above the street.
A device has been perfected, driven by
a tiny general electric motor, for polishing
stoves and ranges in hotels ana restau
rants. v
A wireless telephone Is to be used along
the coast as a fog signal. It has been tried
out and found to work well under heavy
weather conditions.
Electric sirens are In use on the railways
of Germany. The sound Is produced by
the vibrations of a diaphragme under the
Influence of an electro-magnet.
Wireless communications have been sue
cessfully carried on from a special train
on the Lake Shore railroad to Cleveland
and Chicago, while running at full speed.
It Is expected that In the early future
electricity will supersede steam on all the
railroads of Germany. It will fke nearly
$135.0C0.0uO to replace all the steam loco
motives with electrics.
A great dam is to be erected across the
Colorado river at Marble Falls, Tex.
When completed this dam will give more
than 10,000 horse-power, which will be used
to operate a large cotton mill and other
industries.
The firbt practical demonstration in this
country of the new process of telegraph
ing photographs was made March 4. when
pictures of Taft and Roosevelt were flashed
pus uoiXumB.y ud.a)q sjM m jao

The largest storage battery In the world
has been Installed at the Sixteenth street
station of the New York Edison company.
The 150 cells have a capacity of 22,0i am
peres for one hour at 120 volts. It will be
used only In emergenciea
The largest electric 'power station In the
world will shortly be erei ted within four
teen miles of Johannesburg under the
terms of a contract officially announced,
by which the Victoria Falls Power com
pany will supply eluctric power to prac
tically all the mines in that great group.
How many of us realise the fact that
canes, like hats and neckwear, change
with the seasons and that what would be
considered a fashionable stick In midwin
ter, will not do at all In May. Very light
weight and light-color canes are the pres
ent mode and the many-sided cane la again
popular this season, tillver handles, crooks
by the way and not straight handles, are
always very much sought after, although
some of the younger men still prefer
straight sticks. The most fashionable cane
of the moment Is that made of snake
wood. It la throa-ld4 .and taa. a sliver

Barnes, J., dissenting.
1. In this, an action for personal Injurtps
alleged to have been occasioned by the
dei aliment of a street car whereby the
plaintiff was thrown from the car and
thereby injured, the defendant pleads con
tributory negligence, In that the plaintiff
was negligently standing upon the running
board of the car at the time of the accl
dert, and his Injuries resulted from such
negligence. Held, that It was not error to
refuse an instruction that If the Jury be
lieved from the evidence that 4lie plaintiff
was not thrown from the car, but that he
attempted to get off the car when It was
In motion and fell into the street their
verdict should be for the defendant, since
such an Instruction is neither within the
Issues made by the pleadings nor the evi
dence In the case.
2. Instructions should be considered to
gether. Separate clauses or parts of a
sentence should not be separated from the
context In order to arrive at the true
meaning of the language, nut all that la
said upon the particular subject is to be
taken.
1. A witness testified that the plaintiff
"was thrown from the car," but he testi
fied later that he did not see the plaintiff
until he was lying on the ground. A mo
tion to strike his answer as being merely
a conclusion of the witness was overruled
and exception taken. Held, 'hat while the
answer should huve bien stricken, tne
error was not prejudicial, since the Jury
could not have been misled by the testi
mony. 16.4OT. Bonacum against Manning. Appeal

first section of art. 2, ch. 91n, Compiled
Statutes, 1907, "To protect trade and com
merce against unlawful restraints and
monopolies," commonly called the "Junkln
Act," the indictment or Information must
allege that the acts complained of were In
restraint of trade within this state.
2. A number of persons, dealers In coal
and other fuels, In the city of Omaha,
created and became members of a local
organization known as the Omaha Coal
exchange, and were subsequently Indicted
under .what Is called the "anti-trust laws"
of this state. Upon the trial of one of the
indicted parties, the constitution of the ex
change was Introduced in evidence by the
state anl which contained an article pro
hibiting tho members from soliciting trade
by the personal appeals of themselves or
their agents, but allowing the urn of
printed postal cards and non-addressed
printed matter enclosed In envelopes, and
providing that the exchange should not
Interfere with prices made between mem
bers, or as to whether the same should be
at wholesale or retail prices. The court
Instructed the Jury that that article was
"In Itself" a violation of the law of this
state, and If they found that It was In force
and carried out by the defendants, the ac
cused was guilty of the crime charged. The
Instruction Is held erroneous; that It was
proper for the Jury to take the article Into
consideration In arriving at their verdict,
but that it did not. of itself, foreclose fur
ther inquiry as to defendant's guilt.
S. It was shown by the evldenoe that the
accused on trial had not, personally, be
come a member of the Omaha Coal ex
change, but that ho was a member and
president of another organization which
was, Itself, a member of the exchange;
that he was the preBldpnt of the Omaha
Coal exchange and chairman of Its board
of directors whlrh had the management of
its buslners. and that ho acted In both
capacities. TIeld. That this constituted him
to all Intents nnd purposes, a member of
the exchange and liable criminally to the
name extent as though he had personally
signed the constitution and been admitted
to membership.
