and motor and small charging out
fit for an automobile can not be pro
cured for less than $500. This is one
reason, and perhaps the greatest, why
electric automobiles are not more
general.
This invention is called an electro
lytic rectifier and consists of Alumni
UNI and iron plates placed in a bath
of fused sodium nitrate AS the alter
mating current passes through this
cell, the impulses in one direction are
cut off and those in the other direction
are permitted to go through. This cell
is very compact, wellcOnstructed and
only weighs % pounds, or about one
tenth the weight of the apparatus,
now used for the same purpose. It's
cost is also less than one-tenth of the
cost of the apparatus now used The
cell is only about one foot square and
may be carried on the automobile and
when charging is necessary, the cell
has but to be connected with an
electric light plug to the wires to
receive a very efficient charge. Prof.
Burgess says:
This cell will make it possible to
charge storage batteries with higher
charges and make the charge much
more efficient. A number of patents
have already been applied for on it
and the cell will soon be placed on the
market. There is large field for it
and various companies already wish
to take it up and manufacture il"
The principle on which aluminium
plates operate in cells was discovered
about so years ago and experimenters
have been at work ever since endeav-
oring to bring the efficiency up high
enough to meet commercial require
ments. They have failed, however, to
make the efficiency higher than 20
per cent.
The improvements which have been
sity of Wisconsin arose from the dis
Covery, which Mr.. HambueChen made,
that fused substance, instead of an
aqueous solution, made it possible to
get much better results. This dis
covery, together with various other
improvements, have made it possible
to construct an apparatus having an
efficiency of about 60 per cent. and
capable of being operated at a very
! low cost
The work on this has been done
entirely. in the laboratory of applied
eIectro-chemistry and has covered a
period of two years.

charter to enact an ordinance prohibit
ing the erection of billbOards of more
than a specified size.-Gunning Sys-

A contract of separation between
husband and wife provided that, in
construction of certain money and
other property paid by the husband
the wife forever discharged her hus-
band, his heirs and executors. from
any claims and demands in law and
equity. The question subsequently
arose whether this included a release
Of dover and the supreme court Of
South Carolina holds in Moon VS.
Bruce, 40 S. E., 1890, that as a claim
for dover never could exist against
her husband since it could not arise
until his death, the instrument was
insufficient as a release of dover.
A devise to trustees for accumula-
ton for period of thirty years when
the property is to be distributed ac-
cording to directions as to possible
conditions existing at that time is held
in Andrews VS.. Lincoln (Me) SO, l..
r. A, 1903, to be void as creating an
unlawful perpetuity, although the
trustees are empowered to appropriate
portions of the income to the support
Of testator's son and his wife and the
education of the grandchildren.
An interesting case has recently
been decided by the circuit court for
the district of Minnesota involving
the liability of a railroad carrying
mail for the government, for the loss
of a valuable package. The case is
entitled German State Bank VS.. Min
neapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste Marie
Railway company (113 Federal Re
porter, 414), and it is alleged that the
mailing of a valuable package to the
complainant and it's carriage by the
railroad company to it's station, where
the mail sack was delivered to the
cOmpany's agent, whose duty it was to
SdlSly care iOI Jue mail sack during
the night, the leaving of the station
by the agent and the robbing of the
sack during his absence, constituted
such lack of ordinary care on the part
of the railroad as to make it liable
for the loss. The package was regis
tered and contained the sum of $4,000.
Judge Lochren holds that the carrying
of mail is entirely under government
control and that the railroad company
owed no duty except to the govern
ment; that it has no knowledge of the
contents of mail sacks nor as to who
sent or who is entitled to receive let
tiers; that it is not employed by such
persons, and owes to them severally
and personally no duty whatever.
