THE GOLD OF THE YELLOW CORN.

full capacity all the time. As soon as a whisky plant is finished, grown, I was about to say-the government sends. a deputy collector to measure its capacity. It Is then required to run up to it's ca pacity. the government probably thinking that 1t will be so run any way, and that if 1t allows 1t to run at less capacity 1t will be cheated out of some revenue. This fear on the part of the government is not without grounds. By full capacity is meant a dany's run. A run at a dis tiliery Is in some ways like run at one of our Birmingham furnaces. I am not very familiar with the process of making whisky, but I believe the whisky plants load up in the morning with corn and other stuff and after boiling and distilling run for their money, so to speak. In- cidentally I might say that. some of the whisky workers load up in the morning when they ought rather to run for their lives. instead of drinking such stuff.
 '"There are, many ways of cheating the government out of it's whisky taxes. The profits on legitimate whisky are very large, but the profits on blockade whisky, or whisky which has not paid the govern ment tax are enormous. You see the tax is very heavy and is really the only con- siderable item of expense in its manufac- ture. If therefore this tax can be saved you will readily see how much greater the profit and what a strong incentive this is to cheat and swindle the govern ment. One method of cheating is to make a night run. The distilleries are all bound down by rules and regulations of the government and one of these Is that they must only work in the day time. Sometimes, however, when the days work is over and the hands and the government gauger gone home to sleep, a night gang of workers will qietly enter the distillery and make a night run, which is quickly smuggled away to some saloon or bar room and there mixed with other liquor and sold. Nearly every dis tillery has a bar room and many of them are used chiefly for this purpose. Of course when they are caught up with

Two Of the great railways in Am
erica, the Canadian Pacific and the
Baltimore & Ohjo, are considering
the feasibility Of using electric loco
motives in some of the heavy noun
tain grades on their roads. The
officials Of the Canadian Pacific be-
lieye that the electrical locomotive
provides an economical way to move
trains over high mountain grades
without the use Of steam engines.
The matter, it is said, will be sub
mitted for action at the next meet
ing Of the Canadian Pacific direc-
tors. The Baltimore & Ohio has
made an exhaustive inquiry as to
operating trains by electric locomo-
tiTes over the seventeen mile grade
in the Alleghenies. The engineers
reported that it would cost several
millions Of dollars to put the sys-
tenn in operation at that point.
The track would have to be laid with
100 pound rails, and electrical loco
motives, Weighing 12O tons, would
be required. These would be 20
tons heavier than the electrical To-
comotiyes used in the Belt line tun-
mel at Baltimore. The only diff
Guilty the engineers encountered was
their inability TO find sufficient
water power to drive the dynamos,
but they pronounced the plan per-
tectly feasible.

Injunction PerpatuaI.

| A lawsuit of far-rcaching i'm
portance, one which affects many
thousands OF dollars, many acres
of land and many people, was de-
cided before Judge Miller's court
on Wednesday,. It is known as
the case Of l. w. Lyons VS.. j. B.
Watkins Land and Mortgage Co
In this case Mr.. Lyons borrowed
money from the company and
gave them a lien on his home
stead for its repayment. At the
time the mortgage was given
Lyons held q final receipt from
the government, but had not as
yet received his patent. After
paying back a considerable por
ton of the loan. the company at
tempted by eXecutory process to
foreclose the mortgage. The eX
ecutlon was enjoined by Lyons
on the ground that the act Of
mortgage was an absolute null
lily, since, at the time of it's exc
cution upon the property, the
latorbelonged to the government
and that the subsequentiSsuance
Of II patent to him could not cure
this defect. The court maintain-
ed this position and perpetuated
the injunction, basing his decision
on Sec. 1896 Of the revised Statu-
tas which reads:
ono lands acquired under the
provisions Of this chapter shall
in any event become liable to the
satisfaction of any debt contract
ed prior to the issuing Of the pat
ent therefor. "
The case will be apt to land
finally in the supreme court, as
it is the first of its kind and has
never been passed upon directly
by the supreme court.-PreSs.

After-Dinner Coffee,

The question as 10 the origin and
healthfulness OF the custom OF taking
coffee after dinner has often suggested
itself 10 persons unacauainted with the
medical View of the subject. The influence
Of food accessories on digestion has at
tracted the attention OF more than one
distinguished Psychologist and medical
man. Long ago an eminent English phy-
siCian established the fact that Mith-the
exception Of salt foods all other articles
OF diet had their digestion retarded when
tea and coffee were taken. Nobody
doubts therefore, that the after-dinncr
coffee Will slow digestion. By experiments
in artificial digestion OF foods placed I'm
test tubes. IL has been found that the
natural time for completing the digestion
~ food was 100 minutes. Adding first 10
per cent proportion OF tea to the digest
ing food 0he tea being OF per cent
strength, digestion was delayed five min
utes; with coffee Of the same percentage
and strength the delay was also five min
utes. hut with coffee Of Is per cent
strength the delay amounted TO sixty
minutes.
