The electrical power of Niagara is used

have been observed in that smoky city.
The energy Of the rapids of the Nile

cities.
These facts have impelled the local
observers of the new phenomenon to
attribute it to the new trans 'ormer In

The effort Of modern engineers to
transmute the roar of the mighty rap
ids Of the Mississippi into electrical
energy which shall operate all the ma
chinery of two great cities has aroused
a hitherto unobSerVed obstinacy on the
part of the subtle fluid
For nearly week the telephone lines
of the two cities have been affected by
new trouble, as yet unexplained in the
exact sense. 1t has been attributed, by
reason of the coincidence in time, if
for nothing else. to the fact that the
street railway company within the
week has been operating a portion of
its street railway lines from the power
derived from the new dam below the
falls of st. Anthony in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis telephone users have
been the chief sufferers. 1t was only
en- a few lines that the same trouble
peared in St. Paul. Monday and
Tuesday it developed that AL the lines
in the Fifth ward, speaking generally
were affected
The new difficulty is an inexplicabla
noise, which renders the lines affected
almost unfit for use. The fact that
the telephones most seriously aft cted
are generally on a line which crosses

has confronted them for years. They
tried to set rid of it four years ago in

1t is an important question with the
master plumbers whether all plumbing
must be done by them. or whether the
owners of buildings large enough to
command the employment of a man
who is at once a plumber and engineer
may be permitted to continue.

LESS THAN A THIRD WRONG.
Lower Courts Fared Pretty Well in
the Supreme Court This
Term,

The supreme court has disposed Of
practically all the cases which came
before its December term. A few
cases yet remain to be decided, in the
sense Of the opinions being handed
down. but only a few await even the
formality. The judges have decreed
what shall be done in each case, and
some statistics may not be inoppor-
tune.
There were about 29O cases on the
docket this term, the printed calendar
numbering several less. The decisions
handed down to date include 139 af-
firmatiOns and siXty-five reversals of
the courts below, while in seven cases
the original decisions were modified. In
five cases appeals were dismissed, and
in two it was held that there were in
sufficient grounds for an appeal. One
writ of quo warranto was granted and
one writ of custer.
The greater portion of the cases I'M
accounted for in this table are con-
tinued over the term, and there are
only a few decisions yet to be handed
down in the conclusion Of the Deem
Der term.
