IN SUPREME COURT
ATTORNEY FOR 1ElNZE APPLIES TO
HAVE JOHNSTOWN CASE
HEARD AT ONCE.

dispatch from Washington states that
Attorney Wayne MacNeagh has applied to
the United States supreme court for writ
Of certiorari TO have the case OF the
Johnstown Mining company brought into
that court while it is still pending in the
United States court III the district OF Mon
tana
The grounds upon which the Johns
town asks a hearing in the supreme court
is that it is not part OF the NJ. .. Z.
company.
This question was adjudicated by Judge
Knowles in this city recently when the
Butte Il Boston company asked for an or
der OF survey OF the Michael Dewitt claim.
At that time the NJ. o. i. company went
into court and attempted to show that the
lohnstown was separate corporation.
Judge Knowles decided that the Johnstown
company had been formed after the in
junction had been granted against the NJ.
O. 7. company. and that it was still part
OF the NJ. o. p. company. This decision
was upheld by the United States circuit
court OF appeals, when the Johnstown ap-
piled to that court for writ of certorari.
Further grounds advanced for the writ
in the supreme court are that the order
OF survey applies to the Johnstown and
as that is the only means OF obtaining
entrance to the Dewitt the court is asked
to prevent the Butte & Boston company
from entering the ohnstown for that pur-
pose.

LITERARY NEWS

Messrs. Lemcke and Bucchner, New
York, announce for immediate publica-
ton work on Educational Psychology"
by Professor Edward l.. nhorndike, in
which the author applies to number Of
social, and especially educational prob
lens, the methods of exact science. The
topics are treated in the light of the most
recent researches and with the aid OF
modern statistical technique. The book
thus provides those interested in educa-
ton as profession or as feature of
American life with sample of scientific
method in this special field, as well as
with important information which has
hitherto been inaccessible. The attitude
of the author, who is the head of the de-
partment of educational psychology In
Teachers college, Columbia university, and
the author of numerous original contribu-
tions to dynamic psychology, is that of a
candid and painstaking student of the
work that has been done in this field, and
upholds rigorous ideals of scientific ac-
cmracy and logic. The book is so written
and illustrated as to be readable and
teaohable.

LITERARY NOTES.

Those interested in American Society"
often express an opinion that the so-called
"smart set" is newspaper-made plutoc-
racy and that America is unique in this
respect. To read Lady Henry Somerset's
article "British Social Life" in the
December Cosmopolitan, corrects this view.
Lady Somerset is an important member of
the old aristocracy, and her article on the
new fashionable London of today is at
once an interesting commentary on the
tendency Of the times and protest against
some of its more harmful features.
II. G. Wells story of wonderful adven-
ture, "The Food of the Gods" promises
to be his most popular work. Humor, ex-
citement, pathos, philosophy-all are in
gradients of Mr.. Wells adventurous scien-
