ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT
REBUKES JUSTICE MAGRUDER
Former Presiding Members Opinion
in Fourth District Appointment
Stricken From Record.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. Ill. June 11.-Members of the
Supreme Court Bench severely rebuked
Justice d. 3. Magruder to-day in criti-
cism filed in the court this afternoon and
made a part of the record.
The action is the result Of the course
pursued by Judge Magruder when he was
Chief Justice few months ago. relative
to the reappointment in the Fourth Su-
preme Judicial District.
The Fourth District was rearranged by
the recent Legislature, and the Democrats
sought to have the court declare the re-
appointment invalid. The court, however,
upheld the acton, Justice Magruder dis
senting.
No opinion was handed down by the ma
jorty of the court, but Justice Magruder
filed his dissenting opinion in vacation. and
1t is averred that his opinion was circulated
as campaign literature in the Fourth Dis
trict and assisted in the defeat of Justice
Carter. who was the Republican nominee
for reelection.
The following order was placed on the
court docket to-day:
1T appearing TO the court that Mr. JUS
tice Magruder while Chief Justice of this
court. caused his dissenting opinion in this
case to be filed during vacation before this
June term. without the knowledge or au-
thority Of this court, or in advance of the
filing Of the opinion of the court in the
case. hut while the same was in course of
preparation. and while an election was
pending. which said dissenting opinion was
liable TO influence, 1t is ordered by the court
that said dissenting opinion so Improperly
filed be stricken from the files of this court
but leave is given to file the same now, this
being the proper time with the opinion OF
the majority OF the court

Eminent European, Financier Says
Some Americans Have Invested
Too Much Abroad.
NOW FORCED TO SELL STOCKS.
Is Himself a Large Purchaser of
Securities, Which, He Declares,
Have Declined in an Entire
ly Natural Manner.

London. June 11--Lord Rothschild was In
| terviewed by an Associated Press represent
alive to-day on the financial situation In
America. He said:
1T is no good looking further than your
nose in these matters. The depreciation in
stock values Is not caused by European SELL
ing. for the very good reason that Europe
has scarcely any American securities to
sell.
Yesterdays sales in London were almost
entirely on New York orders Amsterdam
sold slightly, but not nearly as much as was
attributed to that city by the dispatches.
When an American wants to sell, he has
got into the habit Of sending his order here
and leaving 1t to the arbitrage houses.
There is absolutely no feeling Of distrust
in Europe over the financial conditions in
America Only fool would say that the
iiranciers here are making what you call q
dead set against American securities.
What do think of the future? Well. the
best answer l can give is this" and Lord
Rothschild handed over a stock ticket show
ing that he had just purchased 800 shares of
an American railway
THAT. of course, is only a drop in the
bucket. but may tell you that one of the
wealthieSt capitalists I know yesterday in
vested f29O,GOO in American securities, and
he has put another f2oo.0oo into them again
this morning. That sounds large, hut 1t is
nothing to the selling orders that come to
New York. In such a period as this the
transactions Of even the larger investors
have small effect on the market. in which
the speculator figures so largely"
Lord Rothschild's explanation of the re-
cent serious shrinkage in values is this:
"Speye-s went into street railways. Yerkes
came over here to electriphy the under
grounds. Morgan bought British securities
and / am :old Schwab went in largely for
British indnstrials They all thought that
British or European investors would take a
larger share in these European enterprises
than they did
The result is that some OF the largest
capitalists IN America have been obliged to
realize on their securities on the other side
In order 10 provide capital for their under
takings here. Under such circumstances
quotations were bound to go down"

The Sensations Of Insects.

Investigations of the intelligence of
the lower animals are always Of deep
interest. We seem to gain some in
sight into our own natures in this
way DIR Forel, the celebrated neu-
rologist, has paused from his re-
searches on the diseases of the human
brain to study the nervous systems
and the sensations of ants and bees.
His book has just been printed at
Paris. Some of his results are sum-
married. in what follows. DR.. Forel
concludes, with Muller, that the vision
of insects is in mosaic" That is,
an insect perceives an object like
mosaic-as If 1t were made up of bits
separated by dark lines, the lines cor
responding to the edges of the facets
Of the insects eye. The image is
usually not sharp. though when the
number of facets Is considerable
$4,000 to 10000. the definition is
good. 1t is by sight that flight is
directed. When the eyes are covered
with thin layer of varnish the in
sect is powerless to direct Its move
ments. The antennae serve as organs
o. touch and almost as II they were
sects find their food and recognize
their companions and their enemies.
The enmity Of certain species of ants
for others is well known. II they are
put in the same pen a fight to the
death at once ensues. When the
antennae are cut, however. the differ
ent species are entirely friendly. Ger
tain insects cease to lag eggs the mo-
ment their antennae are cut. They
can no longer smell the decaying
meat that is fit for a nesting place for
the egg. DR.. Forel concludes that the
instinct to lay eggs is not destroyed;
the sensorial impression that sets the
instinct at work is no longer opera
tive. 1t Is his conclusion that insects
have more than instinct; they have
a soul. so to say, at any rate. mind
capable Of forming judgments. of
choosing. Bees have, for example, an
astonishing memory of localities. In
stinct and automatism are far from
constituting all their mental life.

DESIGNATING Burglar Alarm.

A new burglar alarm is one for
which the inventor claims simplicity,
durability, cheapness and capacity for
ready application to any window or
door. 1t comprises a leaf spring of
considerable expanding force, the
lower half of which is firmly secured
to a vertical rectangular frame. The
upper half Of the spring carries a
small cup for the insertion of cart
ridge or percussion cap. The two
ends of the spring extend beyond the
frame, and are thin enough for inser-
tion in the crack of a window or door.
With the upper member in depress-
ed position, and both terminals of the
spring clamped into the crack of a
door, the two ends of the spring will
fly apart when the door is opened and
throw the cartridge holder into vio-
lent contact with the hammer sus-

Electric HEATING,

For electrical heating. the appara-
tus is simple, being nothing more than
suitable form of resistance, and its
cost should not be excessive. For con-
tinuous heating, the advantage-th
question of cost net being considered
lies with the electric system.
Considering the final test of the ap-
plicability of any systematic cost of
operation-we find the reason for the
poor showing, comparatively. of the
electric heating system. When the
question of cost is the deciding one,
electric heating cannot compete wIIh
any of the other systems, with the
price for electrical energy at its pres
ent figure. 1t seems evident that the
electric power companies are not try
ing to build up this branch of their
business. Electric heaters may be op-
Grated from a power circuit and sta
ton. But electric heating of buildings
can hardly be considered at this time.
except In very special cases, such, for
instance, as in hospital, where the
cost is a small matter compared with
the convenience.
For cooking, however, the intermit-
tent work, a slight concession from
the central stations would result III !.
