Christening a Railway.

Engineers are, as rule. sternly util.
itarian, but there are occasions on
which they indulge in sentimental
practices. One of these occurred the
other day on the completion OF the
first transcontinental railway In AT.
RIGA. When the plate-laying gangs
from Buluwayo and Salisbury, respect.
lively. came within twenty chains OF
each other a telegram was sent to the
contractors and engineers, who al
once arrived on the scene. The rails
were Joined and two engines proceed
ed slowly toward each other from
each side. Attached to the draw1ieai
of the engine from Salisbury was @
bottle of champagne and as the tw"
engines met it was broken and the
new railway was named in the ortho-
dox manner.

RAPID TRIP OF BALLOON.

French Aeronauts Travel at Sixty
Mile an Hour Clip.
A balloon with the aeronaut Me-
landri and three other passengers,
recently accomplished an all.night
voyage of $50 miles, having left Paris
at on Saturday evening, and having
descended at Aries. In the south OF
France, after breakfast on Sunday,
The travellers attained an altitude
Of 5000 feet. where they encountered
wind that blew them along at sixty
miles an hour and a temperature that
sent their thermometer down to 3
degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees OF
frost and froze their bottles OF Vichy
water.
Not liking the look OF the Mediter-
ranean they decided to descend. They
fell nearly two miles In ten minutes
and beyond being quite deaf when
they reached terra frma were none
the worse for their trip.
New Fire Extinguisher.
An engineer named Max Eberhardt,
gave at Munich few days ago a dem

with the liquid becomes insensible to
heat. Rags saturated with petroleum

out in one second. The tar, even
after petroleum had been poured over

liquid formed a thin, unreliable
crust which completely shut out oxy

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

y recent decision OF the Supreme |
Court of the United States in the
lottery case is tar-reaching
in the effect that it may have upon
the rights OF Congress to deal with F.,
the trusts. heretofore many able
lawyers have urged that our
highest legislative body could pass
no law affecting the commerce be-
tween States and therefore it would
be hard to enact effective legislation
that would affect the sale of articles
which had been manufactured by the
corporations in question. The case
in question was one testing the consti-
tutionality of the lawpassed by Con-
grcss in 1895 which prohibited the
transportation of lottery tickets
from one State to another. In an
opinion by Judge Harlan the act was
declared constitutional. "The carry
ing from State to State of lottery
tickets constitutes interstate COM
merce" declares Judge Harlan, "and
the regulation of such commerce is
within the power OF Congress under
the Constitution" The Baltimore
Sun in commenting upon the decision
says.
Tf Congress has the power topro-
hibit the transportation of lottery
tickets, which are defined as ARTICLES
of commerce. from one State to
another, by express or otherwise
has it also the power to forbid COM
mon carriers to transport articles
made or controlled by unlawful mo-
nopolies from State to State: Can
it, by such a prohibition, deny to
trusts which may monopolize~ the
production or sale of certain articles
the use Of the Observation-Disclosures Of
interstate commerce for the trans
portation of such articles from
State to State -? So good an
authority as Senator Hoar, Of Mass
achusetts, held that an act Of Cen
gress depriving corporations con-
Quoted in violation of the Sherman
Anti Trust law of the right to engage
In interstate commerce would be
constitutional. Mr.. Hoar framed a
bill containing a provision to this
effect, but it was not received with
favor by the Senate. The Littlefield
bill, which was passed by a unani-
nous vote in the House ofRepresenta-
tives, contained similar provision.
That bill has been 'sidetracked' il
the Senate because it was considered
Of doubtful constitutionality.' But,
in the light of the Supreme Courts
decision in the lottery case, its con-
stitutionality does not appear to be
so doubtful after all. The Court, it
is true, in its decision in the lottery
case, disclaims any intention to lay
down a rule for determining in ad.
vance the validity of every statute
that may be enacted under the COM
MERGE clause ofthe Constitution. But
Justice Harlan's reasoning apparent
ly justi6es the conclusion that ifCon-
grcss has the constitutional power
to prohibit the transportation oflot-
terry tickets it also has the power to
prohibit the transportation of
articles manufactured and controlled
by corporations which violate the
Sherman Anti Trust Act

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. g Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott EmuIsionisthemod
err method Of feeding fat to
the consumptivc. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
