Gelatine is a tasteless, transparent
substance which is obtained from the
cartilage, bones, tendons and igaments
of animals. The purest form of gela-
tine is called isinglass and is obtained
from the bladder of several fishes, most
ly sturgean; this is quite expensive and
can be purchased from druggists. The
gelatine which we generally use in
cooking comes in two forms-shredded
and granulated; they are identical in
substance, but the latter is to be pre-
ferred as it soaks more quickly than
the shredded. Gelatine must always
be soaked in cold water until it is
swollen and soft; it can then be almost
instantly dissolved by the addition of
boiling water or more slowly by stand
ing over hot water. When boiled di-
rectly over the fire it loses part of
it's jellying quality.
"A majority of the gelatines on the
market are put up in two-ounce pack
ages, sufficient for two quarts Of jelly;
in very hot weather or when it is de-
sired to turn out one large mould it will
be wisest to slightly scant the, quantity
of liquid used to ensure having firm

and pouring into dishes or molds stand

of course, extends below the waist

T HOMAS A. EDISON IS newest discovery gives prom.
reducing the cost of traffic than onehalf, and
by bringing the price of electric automobiles pract
cally within the reach of everybody.
Mr.. Edison has not invented wonderful new ma.
chine He has simply found vein of cobalt running
from point just east of Nashville, Tenn, the
line into North Carolina the dispatches have
oeen telling during the past few days.
10 many people the discovery of bed of cobalt
might possibly seem very inconsequential matter
Until very recently it was regarded almost
less and worthless material Even its name implies
that much being derived from the German word kobod
which means an ''evil-minded sprite.''
When Edison began his series of experiments with
storage batteries he sought in years and
for an ideal accumulation condenser. The aceumu-
lator is the apparatus contained in battery which
is capable of containing large quantities of electricity
The apparatus most generally used present has been
regarded heavy bulky and altogether out of pro.
portion to the vehicle it operates
Mr.. Edison one of the first to recognize this,
and his search for ideal accumulation followed He
found when he substituted cobalt for iron and lead
But the next difficulty was to find the cobalt. It
was very scarce Ores Of cobalt have been found in
various parts of the world but in any quantity
worth considering until the discovery of the Tennessee
vein by Mr.. Edison few days ago. The mineral was
almost invariably associated with nickel compounds
united with arsenic and sulphur. Nowhere was
cobalt found native except in meteorites, and
these did not produce more than per cent.
Cobalt is a reddshwhite metal Of strong lustre,
tenacious and not very fusible attracted by the
magnet. It is susceptible Of being magnetized
by touch and retains it's magnetism at temperatures
below strong red heat.
Having found that cobalt exactly what he need
ed to make perfect accumulators, Mr. Edison insti
tuted most thoro search for the metal. He found
small deposits of it in various places in the south and
finally uncovered the vein east of Nashville.
Mr.. Edison says that just he equip
an automobile with of his cobalt system bat
teries the price will be reduced place eectrics
within the reach of everybody.

luton in the electrical world. reduce the OF

MRS. MOTLEY GETS
FINAL. DECISION

A decision of the Supreme Court
written by Justice Hartwell, signed by
him and Justice Wilder, with short
concurring opinion by Chief Justice
Frear, overrules the exceptions of the
Territory of Hawaii to a verdict of
$3.50 damages for Mrs. Charles Motley
in the matter of the extension of ku-
kui street. NJ. T. Prosser, Deputy At
torney General, represented the Terri
tory, and S. Fl. Derby, Kinney, Nc
Clanahan & Cooper the claimant. The
law of the ease is shown in the follow
ing syllabus:
s.The Territory had extended Kukui
street under the provisions of Sec 750,
R. L., acquiring, under the provisions
of Chap. 50. H., the land within the
surveyed limits, except the claimant s.,
on whose claim for damages commits
sioners, appointed as prescribed by stat
ute, made and delivered to the claim
ant decision awarding her $419.30
damages, from which award and deei-
sion she appealed to the Circuit Court
Upon the case being called for trial
the Territory and Superintendent of
Public Works filed a discontinuance
which the court refused to allow. or
dering the trial to proceed in their alb
sence, with the result of a verdict for
the claimant in the sum of $3.50.
Held: The Territory had no right
TO discontinue the proceedings at the
time it sought to do so, since it had so
Tar completed the extension that it
could not discontinue its public use and.
In fact, had not sought to do so, and
the claimants land was required in or
der to make the extension conform to
the statute. -
In the body of the decision the court
says:
This was not a common law action
winch the Territory, regarded as a
plaintiff, could discontinue or mol. pros.
ct will at any time before going to the
jury.
In the view which we have taken

of the case it is unnecessary to CON
slider the constitutionality of the stat
ute vesting the title in the Territory
upon delivery to the claimant of the
decision OF the commissioners, nor the
right Of the Territory to raise the
question
The Chief Justice writes: 81 con
cur on the ground that whether the
Territory could have discontinued the
street extension or not, it did not do
so, and so long as it did not do so it
could not discontinue the proceedings
for ascertaining the value of the par
ticular land in question.
