cUMsaoUs LEGAL MACHINERY.

When a judge and jury have tried an
offender and, reached a verdict, the ap-
pellate court proceeds to try, not the
prisoner for his guilt, but the trial Judge
for his procedure. Unless the latter
can show that throughout the long
and wearisome trial he made no mista.
kes, the case is sent back for new trial,
by which time the witnesses have gen.
orally disappeared. The consequences
of prolonged discussions and Volumin
Que judicial essays on such details as
the empaneling of jury. the spelling
of jurors uame, the initials of a wit
or the omission or misstatement of
some legal fiction or Anticipated phrase,
tend not only to remove punishment
far off from the criminal, but to dep.
reciate the dignity and usefulness of
courts. The decision of the court that
tried the case comes to be of small con.
sequence in public estimation, when it
may be and often is reversed by some
distant judge who never saw the jury
or heard a witness, The court above,
after many months of delay, often de-
cides on minute points, sometimes of
mere practice, which non. professional
persons can scarcely regard except
with hilarity. Hence frequency OF
appeal in criminal administration has
a mischievous tendency to minimize
the respect with which every commun-
impair the prudent reflection with
ity should regard its local court, and to
which the people should select their
judges. For what signify the qualities
or capacity of county judge, If he is
to be a mere conduit through which all
cases where the prisoner has any mon
ey must flow on to more distant courts
for the only real and final dscision?-I.

ON SNAKE RIVER.
immense nrsdss Pt In BY Chicago People 10
Be Started Up Shortly.

B. Ricketts,, financial agents of ]. w.
Cass, wealthy Chicagoan, who is at
the head of a Chicago company that has
placed an immense dredge and consid-
cradle machinery on Snake river at
Fromans's ferry, is a visitor in the
city. Mr.. Ricketts, says his company
has already invested in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 on Snake river as an
experiment. Operations will be started
up soon and if the enterprise prove a
success several more dredges will be put
in. Several machines of late patent for
the extraction of the fine gold of the
Snake have already been placed on the
dredge. If these do not prove success
full other means will be employed.
These machines were originally got
ten out for dry" work, and, with some
improvement recently made by MIR.
Lewis, superintendent of the company,
it is believed they will be success on
the Snake, although the management is
not at all sanguine and proposes to dis
card the machines if, after fair test,
they prove Intellectual.
A feature of the machines is the large
amount of gravel they can handle with
a small amount of water, only two in
ches of water being necessary to handle
six tons of dirt per nour. This is
claimed to be equivalent to handling
the same amount of dirt with a sluice
head of 200 inches of water. The com
pany can, if necessary, do extensive
work with sluices and burlaps, and the
old fashioned but never failing method
may after all be adopted. The gravel
is pumped from the river bed and then
treated on the dredges.-StdteSman

ELECTRIC LIGHTING BY ARrEslAS WELL

One of the novel electrical develop
ments of the west has been the opera
tiOn of electric lighting plants by
means of artesian wells. The latest of
these is at Chamberlain, s. ~, situated
on what is known as the artesian we'll
basin, embracing over 10000 square
miles in the central portion of that
state. Throughout that region one can
bore into the earth at almost any spot,
and at a depth of about 1000 feet obtain
a constant flow of water to the surface,
averaging about 1000 gallons per min
ute. These underground waters may
be regarded as new resource, and in
Brule county, where Chamberlain is
situated, there are now over thirty such
wells, yielding 100000 gallons every
twenty. four hours. At Chamberlain
the well is inches in diameter and 675
feet deep, and the water rushes up
through sections of iron pipe, which
penetrates through the strata of granite
to the underlying body of water. The
pressure is so great that if reduced to a
81 inch stream by nozzle, the water
shoots up to a height of 262 feet. In
the Chamberlain plant. the volume of
water is reduced to a stream about 3
inches in diameter, which impinges on
the buckets arranged radially on the
rim of well known type of western
wheel. This wheel is mounted on a
shaft which carries large driving pull
ley and the pulley belts TO a five hun
bred incandescent light alternating
current machine. The power is more
than sufficient to run the plant at its
full capacity, and the five hundred
lights are all in use. The regulation is
simple, and is dependent upon raising
or lowering the water nozzle at the
wheel, and the power is thrown off en-
tirely by swiveling the nozzle, so that
the water discharges altogether under
the wheel buckets, and runs outthrough

AcETYLENE IN USE.

1t is stated that acetylene is being
tried in some of the tram cars in Paris,
and with promising success. The gen
orator, containing the calcium carbide
and water, weighs under thirty pounds,
and is placed beneath the steps of
the vehicle, and it contains sufficient
material for generating thirty-five feet
of gas. AS the lighting power of acct,
ylene gas, is something like fifteen
times that of coal gas, the cost is stated
to be less than that of Illuminating the
cars by petroleum. Doubtless, after
this, we shall have practical and safe
application of acetylene for lantern
purposes next season.-The British

that the enterprise can be started with

raising that amount. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 will purchase machinery
sufficient to outfit plant with capac-
lty of 1900 gallons of milk per day.
Additions will be made from time to
time as the business grows. This is an
excellent move on the part of the Me-

will undoubtedly prove successful.
