England Is beginning to catch up
With this country in tks general use OF

Electrical awakening. The idea has
forced itself into the stubborn and ul-
traconservative British mind that the
success of American commercial trav-
elers against their English rivals Is in
great measure traceable to the preva-
lence of cheap electric power In the
United States. One result Of this dis
covery is that large demand for
American electrical appliances has
sprung up in England. Already an
American electrical manufacturing

no other vegetable has contributed so

Max Muller has brought to the front

was warm friend OF Tennyson, and
once when he was staying with the

poet said, anybody could do that"

COAL CASE DECIDED
SUPREME COURT RULES AGAINST
RAILROADS.
They Must Produce Their Contract
for Inspection by Interstate Com
merce COmmissiOn.-.Suit Was
Brought at the Inst igatiOn of w.
II. Hearst.

Washington, April 5.-The case of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
vs.. Baird, commonly known as the an
thracite coal case has been decided by
the supreme court of the United States
in favor of the contentious of the
commission, the decision of the United
s tates circuit court for the Southern
district Of New York being reversed.
This is the case instituted before the
commission by W. r. Hearst of New
York, who alleged discrimination by
the railroad companies that reached
the anthracite coal mines in Pennsl-
vania.
During the hearing some of the wit
nesses refused to produce certain con-
tracts bearing upon the business of the
railroad companies and the coal Mines
which refusal was upheld by the cir
cult court of New York
The supreme court held that the con-
tracts should have been supplied. The
opinion was handed down by Justice
Day.
The case grew out of the complaint
vi Nllildu w. 11cdISU llltu Ill lJUS WltH
the interstate commerce commission
The first point decided was that of
jurisdiction, which the court decided
it had under the law of 1902 regulat-
- ing interstate commerce, and therefore
refused to entertain the motion to dis
mss, which was made by the railroad
companies.
Irrelevant and Inapplicable.
The court also held as irrelevant and
inapplicable the point made in behalf
of the railroad companies that Mr..
Hearst, the complainant, had sustained
no damage in the case, saying that un-
der the mandatoryp revision of the law
the commission could not do otherwise
than investigate.
Coming to the specific items of testi-
mony, which the circuit court, in dis
GUESSING the petition, considered irrele-
want, the first considered were the coal
purchase contracts. These contracts
were made with the coal companies
owned principally by the railroad COM
panies, and they fixed the price Of an
thrracite coal shipments as called for
by the purchasers. While the con-
tracts were produced forr inspection,
the witnesses refused to permit them to
he given in evidence.
In passing upon this point Justice
Day said:
1.-THE railroads are all engaged in
Interstate commerce and into their
affairs and methods of doing business
the commission ought to and is law
fully authorized by the commerce act
to make an Investigation. The commits
sion has the right to know how inter
state traffic is conducted, the relations
between the carrier and its shippers
and the rates charged and collected
We see no reason why contracts of this
character, which have direct relation
to large amount of carrying trade,
can be withheld from examination rs
evidence.

EGYPTIAN MEN AND WOMEN.
What Can BE Learned Of Them from
Ancient Ora wings.

What Can he Learned Of Them from
Ancient Ora wings.
In face the men and women were
very much alike. but there Is a subtle
charm about the female faces that is
replaced by placid dignity in the
male. In both the features are delicate
and of a somewhat aquiline type, and
the figures are tall and slight. There is
very little indication of muscle, but the
men are brOad-shOuldered and thin
hanked. while the women, in spite of
refined. In both the forms are soft and
rounded. The resemblance between
the men and the women Is, Of course,
increased by the men being always
,lean-shaven.
In the paintings and basreliefs there
are certain conventions which do not
apply to the statues, and for these due
allowance has to be made.
In early times all drawing and paint
ing on the Hat land bas-relief is but a
form of this had to serve two pur-
poses, says writer in the London
News. One was to convey informa-
rion. the other to be ornamental. 1t is
doubtful which is the earlier Of the
two. The man OF the stone age, when
he scratched his realistic mammoth on
piece of reindeer bone. either wanted
to convey to his brother man that he
had seen a fine specimen of this inter-
esting animal or else he did it because
he thought 1t pretty. or he may have
had both motives. In any case, we
have here the common origin of art and
writing.
The information picture dwindles
down through hieroglyphics to mere
symbols Of sounds, the pictorial origin
of which is entirely lost. The decora-
tive picture gradually loses all wish to
convey information, and subsists en-
tirely for its pleasure to the eye. But
the Egyptians had not got SO far as
that; when they drew man, there had
to be no mistake what it was. He had
all to be displayed. as it were, to the
best advantage. The legs were shown
sideways. so ms to give the whole
length of the feet and one leg was put
in front of the other. so that neither
should be concealed. Then there came
difficulty about the body; If that
were sideways, too, one shoulder would
be lost, so that the body must be seen
frontways. The arms, again, are best
seen sideways; fortunately, as both
shoulders are shown. they do not inter.
fere with one another. Again, a profile
is more characteristic than a full face,
but a profile eye is a poor. foreshort.
| ened thing.
So in this profile we insert an eye
seen to its full extent, and then we
really have done the man justice. This
| eye, seen full face while the head is
profile gives naturally a peculiar ex.
preston. which makes people talk OF
