GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
Value of an HOnored Trade Name Up
held by the United States
Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won a legal victory
which is of utmost public interest, as it
establishes judicially fact long recog-
nized officially that the name or the
title of an article is valuable property,
entitled to the same protection as chat
tells or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired a valu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:

ROCK OIL AS FUEL.
There Has Been Great Increase In
Its Utilization In Eng
land of Late.

During the last year the enormous
increase in the use in England of rock
oil as fuel has about silenced the alarm
list who for many years past has
prophesied a time, not so very distant
when the coal mines in that country
would be exhausted. 1t is not claimed
that the heavy draw on the coal supply
is greatly lessened, but it is argued
that it will be before very long. Last
month the matter was under discussion
before the Society of Arts in London
and one of the papers read on the oc-
casion gave an account of the present
position of liquid fuel, as the phrase is
over there, in England and other coun-
tries. In England oil as fuel is in use
on the Great Eastern railway, and it is
said the results have proved satisfac-
tory. 1t has also found more or less
use in the Russian, German and Italian
navies and on one or two foreign rail
ways. When the oil fields of Dutch
Rprneo were first opened up tho oil
was not allowed TO be carried in bulk
through the Suez canal and there was
not a single port at which obstacles
were not placed in the way of its intro
duction. Now vessels carrying $500
tons and capable of discharging over
500 tons of oil per hour pass through the
canal regularly. The impedments
placed in the way of its discharge hove
been done away with, as experience las
shown that there is nc real danger.
Several advantages are claimed for the
use of oil as fuel to replace coal, the
chief being the convenience of storage,
the reduction of labor in storing and
rapidity of discharge. The alternate
contraction and expansion of the fire
bars and steam tubes, unavoidable
when coal is used as fuel, is said to be
altogether stopped, but against this has
to be placed risk of overheating.-Chi-

COULD NOT SURVIVE 1T.
Operation Causes the Death OF
Major WhittimOre at Bay
City Saturday Last.

Major w. H. Whittimore, OF Mar
ouette, died Saturday at Bay City,
where he went the early part OF the
week to undergo an operation. He
came through the actual operation
all right but the shock was too great
for his system.
About three years ago Mr.. Whit
timore, with his wife and niece, To-
Gated in Baraga, where they re
NAMED for one year, and then re-
moved to Marquette. Mrs. Whitti-
more died in that city about four
months ago. The major was well
known among lumbermen all over
the northwest. He built up Bay
City as numbering point, and is
spoken of as it's father. I" For
years he conducted large numbering
operations using that city as his
headquarters. He went there in
1856 For the past twenty years he
operated largely in the upper PENN
sula and spent a great deal OF his
time in this part of the state. For
some time Mr.. Whittimore had not
been in business independently, but
had been connected with the w. H.
Sawyer Lumber company, Of North
Tonawanda, N. Y. Regarding his
death the Mining Journal says:
1.-The deceased had a brilliant war
record. Enlisting in the second
Michigan cavalry in 1861 he was till
the close of the war absent from
service only thirty days, and partici
pated in upwards of hundred en-
gagements. He gained his shoulder
straps through the personal recon.
mendation of General Phil Sheridan,
at that time in command Of the
regiment. Promotion followed step
by step to the rank of major. He
was offered a captaincy in the Fourth
United States cavalry at the close
of the war, but declined the com
mission. He also organized an(
commanded the 136th U. S. infantry
(colored), and served with it till hi
was mustered out, still a youns
man OF only twenty-three years.
"All through his life Major Whit
timore took an active interest il
politics, and up TO the present ad
ministration was u staunch Demo
crat. He affiliated himself with tn
Republican party in 1896.
"The deceased was born in Peter
boro, New Hampshire, in 1912. II
was member of the Loyal Legio
and affiliated with the lodge of tn
order at Bay City. He was burie,
under its auspices.
The funeral was held in Bay Cit.
Tuesday afternoon. G. W. Shaw
of Marquette, his nephew-in-law
went to Bay City with the intention
of bringing the body home for in
terment, but this was found i'm
practicable.

OLD OCEANS POWER.
TO BE COLLECTED AND UTILIZED FOR
SERVICE ON SHORE.

Description of the Device Which Il Ex-
pected TO Accomplish This End-win
supersede All Other Known Sources of
Power-No Limit to the Supply,
Old ocean is at last to be harnessed
and his infinite might is to be placed
at the service of man for transforma-
ton into the various forms of power"
that makes all the wheels of the world
go round. That, at least. is the predic-
ton of New York inventor, who
firmly believes that he has at last
solved one of the great problems of the
ages
The present device differs radically
from everything that has hitherto been
suggested, and at least has the appear
ance of an attempt TO solve the prob
lem on logical and scientific lines
The primary idea in the mind of the
inventor, doubtless suggested by the
ease with which any buOyant bodies
from ordinary floats to $4,000 ton battle
ships are tossed by the action OF the
sea, has been to devise a means for
utilizing the lifting power of waves.
for his collector of the power ex-
erted he has taken for a model the
familiar buoy of sheet iron. which. Sc
curely anchored to the bottom, bObs
merrily up and down as lightly
as cork. for all that. if it is
buoy of the first class. it may be as
big and heavy as the largest steam
boiler. Take such great buoy and at
tach to it cylinder and piston in such
a manner that the lifting of the buoy
will force up the piston and compress
the air within the cylinder, and you
have the principle of the device which
its inventor believes will supersede all
other known sources of power.
The possibility of using air thus COM
pressed was suggested by the recent
wonderful advances in the application
Of electricity, the success of which has
created a new demand for a cheap in
itial power for the production of the
electric current. In studying the his
tory of previous attempts to utilize
wave power the inventor was struck by
the idea that in all devices the cardinal
principle of indestructibility had never
been take into account. and that mach
ine after machine had fallen a victim
to the fury of the very power which it
was designed to control.
This still further convinced him that
something in the nature of a buoy
which should be proof against any am
Ount of buffeting presented the best
solution of the problem. The result of
his studies and of many experiments
has been the production of an air COM
pressing buoy. or what he terms ':col-
lectOr" of compressed air.
Four of these collectors. standing
thirty of forty feet high and built of
steel plates and framing, have just
been completed for the company in
GreenpOint and it is intended that they
soon shall be placed in operation Pro
vision is made to securely anchor the
collectors at a short distance from

general structure, and the rising and

falling of the whole mass operates the
piston and congresses the air in the
cylinder which stands on the top of
the buoy. 1t is intended that a large
number shall be anchored in a group
and operated in unison.
From each cylinder a strong but flex-
BILE tube runs parallel with the anchor
chain to the anchor, and thence along
the sea bottom to a power station on
the shore, where the compressed air
from each collector is received i'm a Sc
oarate tank. AS the pressure of the air
from the various collectors may differ
materially, the air Is finally drawn in
10 a general tank. where the pressure
S sgraduated to the desired amount and
1t is then ready to do it's work in oper-
lting big compressed air engine
which reyOlves the dynamOs by which
electricity is generated. In the form of
electricity the power originally drawn
from the sea is finally ready for any
one of the thousand services deman-
led of it. If the principle proves to be
successful it is the intention of the
company to go into the business of
producing and selling electrical power
IN a gigantic scale, there apparently
being no limit TO the energy they will
nave at their command.
