A Talking Machine Injunction.

Judge Lacombe, in the United States
circuit court for the southern district of
New York, has granted the motion for a
preliminary injunction against the National
Gramophone Company on the suit brought
against that company by the American
GraphOphOne Company. Judge Lacomoe de-
hvered opinion holding that the gramo-
phone infringeS fundamental patent of
the American Graphophone Company.
The suit involves the right to the use Of
important devices, which, il is claimed are
essential to any practical talking machine.
In the affidavits filed with the bill of com
plant the American Graphophone Company
asserted substantially that the gramophone
was of no practical value until devices COW
cred by the graphophone patents were
adopted as part of its mecha anism. The in
terests involved in the suit are extensive
and important.

THE SENSE OF LOCALITY.
Some Horses Seem to Possess 1t in a
Marked Degree.


Marked Degree.
In passing through Bombay early in
1850 7 bought a fine black Hutch pony
and marched with him to Kemptee, in
central India, five hundred miles. The
evening after arrival I dined with the
cavalry regiment, at the far end of the
cantonment, over three miles distant
from the house I had secured; but on
leaving the mess house, the syce having
run off at once in advance, found my
self plunged in worse than Egyptian
darkness without the slightest concep-
ton Of the road home or any trace of
the surrounding objects. The pony,
nevertheless, took me along the whole
distance, in at the gate of the COM
pound and up to the house door, al
though he had never been east of
Bombay, much less acquainted with
the cantonment of Kamptee.
My Victorian friend was at the time
of the incident am about to mention
some thirty years ago-engaged in
breeding horses. 1t appears that on
one occasion while driving mob of
horses down to Melbourne for sale he
lost his way in the bush, and wander
ing on through most of the day vainly
endeavoring to find his camp, had
nearly arrived at the despairing convic-
ton that he was hopelessly lost, as not
infrequently happens in Australia.
Feeling the horse he was riding bear
ing on the bit to one side, it suddenly
occurred to him that the animal had
the sense of direction and, trusting to
this entirely, he threw the reins on his
neck. The horse, turning right
around, soon got into a lobbing canter
and brought my friend direct to his
camp, situated, as he judged, some
seven miles away. On many subse-
quent occasions my friend found this
horses sense of direction quite uner-
ring. His experience, however, of the
majority of horses which passed
through his hands was that they either
possessed the sense in a very low de-
gree or not at all.
But what appears to me a still more
remarkable instance of the sense in
question was narrated by the same
friend as connected with a horse he at
one time possessed, which, reared by
himself, showed such cleverness in I'M
doing bolts and fastenings of all kinds
that nothing short of lock and kew
awaited to keep him either in or out of
his stable. On selling this animal to a.
planter, who was then travelling right
up to the north of Australia, over one
thousand miles distant. he warned him
that unless well secured en- route the
horse would almost certainly get back
to his old stable. In month or there
abouts this actually occurred The an
imal was one morning found in his
stall little better than skin and bone,
having, as my friend calculated by the
dates given him, travelled right across
a great part of the continent to his old
home at the rate Of over. one hundred
miles day! On two subsequent occa-
sions this horse got away from pur-
chasers, who, Notwithstanding the in

Judge BriIIs Decision in a Case In

Judge BriIFs Decision in a Case In
vOIving ThurstOn Storage Plant.
In the case Of the Northwestern Mu-
tual Life Insurance company against
William George ct al, Judge Brill yes
terday filed a decision affirming de-
PENDANTS title to a refrigerator plant
valued at $4,000, which is in the prop
erty formerly occupied by the Thurston
Cold Storage company, upon which
plaintiff had a mortgage. The court
holds that the refrigerator plant is not
a part Of the realty, and that George
may remove the same.
The plant was placed in the Thurs
ton building by the Hercules Ice COM
pany, but was not paid for, and the
contract read that the Hercules COM
pany was to be the owner of the plant
until the purchase price was paid in
full. William George came into pos
session Of the contract through the as
signment of the Hercules company. The
Thurston company became insolvent
and was succeeded by the ST. Paul Cold
Storage company, which did not object
to the removal of the plant, but the
mortgage, the insurance company. did
object
The insurance company held a mort
gage on the Thurston property for $780,
600, a loan advanced to w. H. Patter-
son., who afterward sold the property
to the ThurStOn company, subject to
the terms of the mortgage.
