The Photograph in Court.

1t will be remembered that soon after
the first electric underground road was
laid in London proceedings were taken
against the railway company to re-
cover damages for reputed injury to
buildings near the line, by the neces-
sary excavation. The most important
evidence brought into court was af-
forded by series of photographs. The
engineer Of the road, who was wise in
his generation, had sent photographer
to make pictures Of all the buildings
along the line of the road before eXca-
vations We're begun. He consequently
had reliable record of their original
condition. When the road was COM
pleted the photographer was again sent
on the same GRAND, and when the two
pictures, before" and after" We're
compared in court the hardest Of swear
ing as to the supposed damage went for
nothing. Science has again been in
voked us q witness in a case in n Lon
don court in the shape of the phOno-
graph. The plaintiff sought to obtain
an injunction against the defendants
on the ground of a nuisance caused by
vibration. 1t was claimed that the vi
bration made it intolerable to the occu-
pants of adjacent houses. Sometimes
the top and sometimes the bottom of
the house was affected. In some in
stances families We're shaken in their
beds and prevented from sleeping;
clocks We're stopped, and noises We're
caused in the houses from the sympa-
thetic vibration of different objects. 4
photograph was brought into court and
placed before the judge, and the noise
Of the vibration and Earring caused by
the working Of defendants machinery
was reproduced. The monograph had
been set in the various rooms in the
houses affected, and the photograph
cylinder indicated to the judge who
listened to it more than whole army
of witnesses.

SHRUBS AND FLOWERS.

A long back border Of double holly
hooks is very desirable.
Plant Il clump OF old fashioned Ii
laos in the background of tho lawn.
Set flower beds and formal ar
ranGement OF the flower garden are
waning in favor.
In the planting OF shrubs and ever
greens care should be taken to select
only those that will stand our climate.
Clematis jackmani, covered with .
mass OF purple blossoms, is very beau
tiful. 1t requires II sunny situation
and trellis. Protect with straw in
winter.
Giant double zinnias, II grown at a
little distance from walks, are very
satisfactory. They may be effectually
used in perennial borders to hide tbs
brown and ragged foliage of o,ter
plants that have passed out OF bloom.

Later Uses OF Electricity.

In the transition through which the
whole world is passing, in placing itself
upon another basis, the electrical field
is one that is making real strides in
the way of economical appliances. Elec-
trcity is slowly but surely making a
revolution in housekeeping. and pleas
antly robbing that department of 4
great deal Of drudgers, and the tend
ency is still onward in developing new
appliances which add to the luxury of
our later-day civilization. The latest
device in this way is an electrically
heated shaving pot. The base Of the
pot is hollow, like the bottom Of
champagne bottle, the lamp being slip
ped inside. The lamp is of about eight
candle power, and its cost is about .
cents. The transmission Of power by
electricity, problem which has excr-
cised the minds Of electrical engineers
for years. has been solved in one way
among others by the transmission of
eight miles distant, by which the cities
of Pomona and San Bernardino, Cal,
are lighted in q very satisfactory man.

relegrnphing by Induction.

An interesting series of experiments
has been made on some farm lands in
the vicinity Of Edinburgh, Scotland,
with view of proving that it was pos
sible to communicate between light
houses erected on rocks and lighthouses
out at sea and the land stations without
the use Of submarine caDre. The lay
Ing and maintenance Of submarine
telegraph cable to rock lighthouses is
not only difficult but expensive. and In
many cases the action Of the sea would
soon destroy the armor of the cable.
The erection of overhead wires would
be equally impracticable, as the service
could not be made permanent. The
method used near Edinburgh was that
of G. A. Stevenson and the tests We're
entirely successful. Mr.. Stevenson's in
vention Is based on the action of coils
on each other. After a number of
laboratory experiments to determine
these laws more cOnclusively and the
number of turns and the diameter Of
the coils necessary with commercial
telephones, practical test was decided
on. 1t was sought to prove whether
the gap of 500 yards between North
UiSt lighthouse and the shore could be
bridged by induction. Two coils, 200
yards in diameter of nine turns each of
ordinary telegraph wire, were erected
on poles 500 yards apart, and owing to
induction currents from Telegraph lines,
200 yards away, the messages could be
read quite easily, although the coils
were entirely insulated and were not
'earthed." 1t was found that messages
could be sent with ten cells with per-
feet ease, and even with only five cells.
The success of these experiments has
demonstrated that the application of
the invention can be greatly widened.
1t can be used not only for communi-
cation between rock lighthouses and the
shore, but in many other ways, notably
on war ships, where the coils could be
placed for the purpose Of establishing
instantaneous communication with 9TH
er ships during maneuyering or fight
ing.
