Oliver +. Pagan also came on from WASH
ington for the trial.
Motions for -postponement, separate trials
and to quash the indictments were all
denied.
lenne each Juror after be had been ex-
amined by the lawyers on both sides, the
ATTORNEYS waited until twelve men had
filed into the box, when Mr.. Taft used up
two Of his challenges by excusing Norman
Warner and Charles @. Taylor. The latter,
who is a silk merchant at 430 Broome
! street, created a lot Of amusement in
the court room when Mr.. Nicoll asked him
il ne were not a brother OF Lawyer
| Howard Taylor, who said Mr.. Niooll,
@has a fondness for talking over matters
| like the Shernsn Antitrust law" Mr..
TAYLOR admitted the relationship, but said
that he had no respect for his brother
Howard's opinions.
At the conclusion Of the afternoon session
twelve men who were acceptable to the
Governments attorneys had been obtained,
but as the defendants lawyers have not
exercised any Of the twelve challenges to
which they are entitled the e~mpaneling Of
the jpry may nave TO go on to-day.
In his questions to the prospective jurors
Mr.. Nicoll intimated that the present case
was the result Of the antipathy Of the so
called independent" dealers in tobacco,
who were pursuing his clients from purely
selfish motives. He minated also that
it was the intention of the defence to ques-
ton the validity Of the Sherman law, which
was so involved in its wording and pro-
visions, he said, that W men who were
members of Congress at the time 1t was
passed failed to know 1t was all about.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TRR SUN.
LONDON, Dec. 1s.-Mr. Fnlay, X. C.,
concluded his speech for the plaintiff to-day
in the case OF the Mutual Life Insurance
Company Of New York against ID. G. Halde-
man and the North British and Mercantile
Insurance Company. He, said that Halde-
man ought to have resigned his position as
manager for the Mutual ard then he would
have beer free to engage in any agitation,
however adverse il might have been to the
company. The whole trouble had arisen
from the false step taken by Haldeman.
When Mr.. Finlay was proceeding TO deal
with the plaintiffs claim for damages the
Judge, Sir Charles Swinfen Eady, inter-
rupted him and said he had been struck
by the fact that not n single p~olicyholder
had been called as a witness by the plain
tits, nor had any attempt been made to
show whether the ~policyholders who had
transferred to the North British had gone
over by reason OF the scandals in the man
asement Of the Mutual, or had simply fol-
lowed H~aldeman, or had gone by reason
Of improper solicitation.
Mr.. Finlay replied that IL the plaintiffs
had called polioyholders TO give evidence
they probably would have been pounoed
upon by Rufus Isaacs defendants ooun-
sell for an explanation Of their mixed
motives and their testimony would have
been characterized as worthless. He Fin
lay admitted the difficulty OF estimating
damages in a case like this. IL might
be assigned to the category of those cases

be decided by tossing up. Addressing the

Saving Niagara.

The question as to whether Niagara
should be used solely as source of
mechanical power, or be preserved as a
beautiful and wonderful natural fea-
ture, has come up in our day for per-
manent decision. There are some
minds that have decided, for them
selves, 10 favor of the former propo-
sition. But they seem, fortunately, to
be in a minority both in Canada and
in the United States. Niagara is to
be preserved both in what have been
called it's little loveliness" and in its
grandeur. America is practical" it
has allowed its forests to be danger
ously diminished, it has allowed Nj
agara to be seriously threatened; but
American sentiment, when once
aroused, is irresistible, and American
sentiment has declared in favor OF Nj
agara as Niagara, Century.

THE JERUSALEM ARTlcHoKE
Peculiar Qualities of Tuber That
Grows on the Roots of the
Sunhower.

Most young folks in the country are
familiar with the sweet, crisp, Juicy
tubers known as artichokes. These.
says an article on Mature and Sci
ence,' in St Nicholas, grow on the
roots of the sunaower known to bot
anists as Helianthus tuberosis, and
are commonly called Jerusalem arti-
chokes Under this common name you
will find the tubers offered for sale in
most seed catalogues.
The plants are easily grown in al
most any kind of soil. At first glance
the tubers have somewhat the appear
ance of potatoes, but unlike them they
may be eaten raw like radishes. or
they may be picked or cooked, Re-
cipes are to be found in all cook
books.
These artichokes are entirely differ
ent (yet not far distant in botanical
way) from the globe artichckes which
are grown IN California, and perhaps
elsewhere exclusively for their edible
flower buds. These are never eaten
raw. Even when cooked they are
rather tasteless. Personally, l think

of disturbing the water there, and a
boat with tame otter or two would
be source of endless sport. One
James Campbell, who lived in Inver-
ness-shire, Is said to have owned a
tame otter (which would take eight
Or ten salmon In a day. If not pre-
vented it would always try to break
the salmon behind the fin next the
tail. When one was taken from 1t it
dived for more; and when tired and
satisfied with the share Of the prey
allotted to it, it curled itself round
and fell fast asleep, in which state 1t
was generally carried home. The
otter fished as well in the sea ais in
a river, and took great numbers of
codlings and other fish. Its food be-
sides fish was milk"
1t will be noticed that there is a
great resemblance between the shape
of the head of an otter and that of
the blunt-nosed eel, The same fiat
ness, the same shape of mouth, and
the same position of the eyes on the
top of the head are seen in both, II
you watch an otter chasing fish you
will notice that the former swims
rather lower than the latter, and
comes up to seize it from below. This
lends another advantage to the pur-
suer, for the fish's eyes are so placed
that it does not readily see down
