quenty exercised over the problem of costs
In criminal cases. There is a general sec
tion in the Iowa laws that prevents the de-
PENDANTS being committed to Jail for costs
when they are punished by being sentenced
to pay a fine and the costs of prosecution.
Every fellow who has been punished in this
way for years has deemed it to be part OF
his religious duty to refuse to pay the costs,
and unless he has property that can be seized
under an execution the taxpayers have to
pay the costs. Yesterday Judge Smith called
the attention of some of the justices to sec
tion asa of the code, which provides under
certain circumstances that the defendant
may be committed until both fine and costs
are paid. The modifying conditions are
covered by a decision in 46 Iowa, page 665
It is probable that hereafter several dollars
will be saved to the taxpayers by the OBJ
sarvance of this decision.
Lizzie Herbert has brought suit against
Frank Schaffer to recover money loaned to
him. The case is set for hearing in Justice
Cooks court next Tuesday. Miss Herbert
is also prosecuting Schafrer for seduction.
In her petition she AYERS that he borrowed
the money from her while she was a cham
bCrmaid in the Inman hotel and that he used
1t to meet his bills in his livery business.

| has advanced wonderfully In nearly overy
large city in the country except New York
| City, and even there the general adoption OF
electFic traction Is only question Of time.
These trolley roads reaching as they do, out
| into the suburbs and connecting cities, VII
! lagos and towns, are forcing the steam rail
roads to great lengths In the matter OF sue
cessful competition. | think the ultimate re-
suit Of this will be the widespread resort
to electric power on steam railroads. Al
ready we have had evidence Of It In the H.

UTILITIES FROM THE KITE
Some very notable advances have been
In the science oc kite flying during the past
year. The great utility OF the kite for mill
tary purposes has been conclusively proved.
In the line Of signaling, especially, the kite
has SHOWN It's aGaptability even more than
the captive balloon. Our recent feat at
Bdyonno, n, j., OF carrying a telephone
wire through the air on a kite-string and
dropping 1t to the earth 1000 feet away
from where the kite was anchored so that
signals could be transmitted back and forth,
Is another distinct advance in the science.
It's practical utility is great and could
have been In the rear of General Grant at
NicFS1urg for instance, with such a device,
would have been able to have exchanged
messages with the confederateG pent up in
the city 1t could be accomplished during
any siege, In fact, and during the night time
when its presence would not lie know to
an enemy.
However the advances of the past year
nave been in n measure conclusive and |
think the next development will be in the
line of midnight air photography. BY this
l mean the taking of pictures in cameras
suspended from the kite string at night.
Large city districts have been accurately
photographed by means OF kites during the
daytime but no midair kite photographs
nave been taken at night | am expert
menting in this direction and | am con-
Vincod that very satisfactory and useful re-
suits Will ultimately be reached With
highly sensitive plate manipulated in midair
am confident of being able to photograph
objects on the earth below which could not
be distinguished by the human eye. If this
condition actually exists, midnight kite
photography Will have a wide military ap-
pilcation. Fortifcations and hostile camps
could be accurately pictured and the condi-
tlon OF an enemy became known to q gen
eral whose foe need not know he is in .he
neighborhood. The idea would be useful
also in time of peace in photographing large
assemblages, celebrations, multitudes of
people, or exhibitions.

FROM STEAM TO ELECTRICITY.

One of the great scientific advances of the
past year has been la the direction OF cleo
trio railroading The advance however, has
taken a unique direction. 1t seems that en-
gineors. having done all they can do on the
natural level are seeking to encompass in
accessible mountain peaks and passes. or
when these are lacking, going beneath the
surface. As an example OF the first category
we have at least forty mountain roads IN
Switzerland, among which the Jungfrau
scheme is a recent instance. Examples of
the second class may be found in the sue
cessful underground system OF Budapesth,
tho electric equipment OF additional London
sub-surface roads and the proposed under
ground rapid transit schemes In New York
City. The instances in both cases might be
greatly multiplied. All this portends a near
and great improvement In the general rapid
transit system of the world. The develop
ment OF ordinary surface roads In the United
States, while II has not reached climax,

TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRIC POWER.

One of the greatest electrical develop.
! ments in the past year has been the
| utilization of Niagara Falls for producing
| electric power. | think the moral effect Of
this great achievement will ultimately re-
| suit in changing the general aspect OF many
| city and country districts. This will be
| because of our lately expanded capacity for
generating electric power at water falls
| and transmitting it over long distances
| Instances already become numerous, but if
| the work goes on at the present rate, power
commonplaces of electrical enterprise. What
Is more particularly noticeable Is that dis
tance5 of twenty or thirty miles no longer
count at least in this country Porhaps
the best instance in Europe Is still the
nineteen mile transmission from the Falls
of TiyOi to Rome, but here examples of
that magnitude multiply. The American
cities that have absorbed distant water
powers Just as they absorb suburbs are by
10 means few. Buffalo has reached out
electrically twenty-five miles to Niagara
Fresno thirty-five miles to the San Joaquin
river; Portland, fourteen miles to the Will
lamette; San Bernardino, twenty nine miles
to the San Antonio mountains: Hartford a
dozen miles to the Pennington river; Salt
Lake City, a goodElten miles to the Big
Cottonwood canyon and the Wahsatch lakes;
Sacramento, more than twenty-five miles to
Folsom. ssGN
With this capacity for transmitting heat
light and power over miles OF open country,
there seems to be no reason why the smoke
nuisance with itsr all infective dangers
should not soon be a thing OF the past and
the air of densey populated cities become
as pure as that of the most isolated country
district. sIu.f T, c. MARTIN
