snnreme conrt Mn Decide.

Recently some of the assessing Off
GERS of the state have refused to
use the valuations fixed by the
state tax commission as a basis for
levying the state and county taxes,
basing their refusal on section 80 Of
the general tax law, which provides
that the valuation fixed by the board
of review shall be taken as the basis
for the tax. The tax commission claims
that under section 1852 Of the amend
ment of the tax law passed at the leg
islative session of 1899 authority was
given 20 the tax commission to review
the rolls and 10 have the valuation
fixed by the board taken as the basis
for the tax. 1t was decided several
days ago to bring these provisions of
law before the supreme court for its
construction, and at a meeting of the
tax commission and Atty. Gen. Oren,
papers were prepared for a case TO be
commenced against the assessing Off
GERS at Ishpeming. The court will be
asked for mandamus to compel the
assessing officers to make use of the
valuations fixed by the tax commits
sion as a basis for the December taxes,
and the question will then come
squarely before the court.

Curious German Locomotive.
From the Engineering Magazine.

From the Engineering Magazine.
One of the German locomotives shown at
Paris Is 50 singular in the salient features
of its design that, had not the idea been
Indignantly repudiated by its designer, one
would have felt impelled to regard 1t as a
huge scientific practical joke. 1t Is a four
coupled compound express engine, built by
krauss of Munich for the Bavarian state
railways. The astonishing popularity of
this engine Is that its two pairs of bogie
wheels are placed 50 far apart as to admit
between them a third pair of wheels three
feet three and three-Quarters inches in diam
eter, and that this third pair is driven by a
pair OF small outside cylinders. the combi-
nation producing what is called an 'aux-
Hilary engine-equivalent to the donkey
on board steamer. Further, this pair OF
small auxiliary drivers can be raised from
the rails pressed upon them as desired
by means of a lever The object of this &C.
centric appliance has proved a tough puz-
zle TO most visitors. One, British engi-
neer of no mean standing, hazarded the
conjecture that the tiny auxiliary wheels
and cylinders We're to be used to move the
locomotive about the yard, so as TO give
the big wheels and cylinders a rest. This
suggested to him a humorous comparison
with Sir Isaac Newton's absent minded
provision OF a large aperture in the door
Tor his large dog to pass through and a
small aperture for the small dog Natur-
ally the designer was outraged at so disre-
Spectful a reference. and he promptly ex-
planned that his real intention is to have n
locomotive which. in general, has the quail
ties OF four-coupled engine. but is able 10
increase. every time II Is needed, its cylin-
der power well as its adhesive weight in
the proportion OF TO g so that II can exert
temporarily a tractive power corresponding
TO six-coupled wheels.
