chancellor held that the trust company was
not then insolvent, as contemplated by the
statute, and ordered a pro rata distribution
OF the assets The petitioners now claim that
the company is desperately insolvent and
unable to recuperate, and that their claims,
by virtue of their being married women
minors or insane, should be paid in full. If
the supreme court should decide in favor of
the petitioners it will seriously affect the
general creditors, since a full payment to
the preferred class of depositors would use
up about all the companys assets. The
bringing up of this question again now will
be likely, at least, to delay the payment of a
ten per cent dividend, which the receiver is
preparing to declare.

Backus versus Tuerk.

Some interest has been shown, of late, in
the relative merits of the Backus and Tuerk
water motors. The agent for the Tuerk
motor has claimed great advantages in
power and quantity of water used over the
Backus and other motors in the market,
and, by so doing has induced many to try
his motor-and where parties had consented
to try BdckUs motor he has at once placed
his on exhibition by its side, so that they
might not be deceived and purchase the
poorer, cheaper, but much more expensive
motor to use. William Miller had Backus
motor placed in his store to run his coffee
mill The Tuerk agent, seeing his want of
Judgment went to his assistance, and at
once attached Tuerk motor 10 his mill.
But Mr. Miller, being man with mind of
his own, thought it best to make a fair test
of the motors. Accordingly, arrangements
were made for the test ON the evening of
January 2. Each motor was TO grind an
equal number of pounds of coffee, and the
water used to be caught and measured.
Five pounds was the quantity agreed upon,
so that the Backus motor might escape with
as slight IA defeat as possible. The test re-
suited as follows: Time in grinding with
the Tuerk, six minutes and twenty seconds; ;
time n grinding with the BaclNus, four
minutes and eighteen seconds. Amount OF
water used by the Tuerk in excess of that
by the Bachlis, ope-fourth of barrel

insects. In every case the tube of the flow CT exactly corresponds in length to the beak and tongue of the special humming bird or sunbird or lory told off to do duty in fertili- zing it's seeds The broad mouth of the blossom in most of these species is intended for the bird to poise in on it's futtering wings and insert it's head; the narrow neck in which the flower ends below is intended to keep out intrusive moths and butterflies, not adapted to the fertilization of the particular species.
 There can be little doubt that the superior richness and beauty of the tropical blossoms is largely dependent upon the slow but long exerted selectiye action of the humming birds, the honey suckers and the flower, haunting parrots. By always. visiting and fertilizing the largest and handsomest bios sons, they have affected at last the whole standard of the equatorial flora. Darting with the rapidity of lightning from flower to flower, wherever great patch of crimson or orange attracts their keen little eyes, they are really helping to perpetuate the finest and handsomest types of flowers, and SO maintaining and to some extent increasing the marvellous beauty of the tropical vegeta- ton.

The pictures were carefully cut from the frames which were left hanging on the walls. They are all we'll known to buyers in this country and the police think they will probably be sent at once to Europe. The paintings were worth several thousand dollars apiece
