COME curious facts about the rocky
- ledge. on the shelving slope OF
which lower New York. with its mil
lions Of tons of skyscrapers. teeters,
have been revealed by the engineers
who have been boring hundreds OF
feet below the surface In connection
with the plunger elevators in the big
Office buildings. The center shafts in
these elevators go as deep into the
ground as the shaft itself is high. The
plunger shaft In a building 400 feet
high, for instance, must have a hole
dug for 1t 400 feet deep, into which 1t
can sink every time the elevator goes
down into the basement.
At Rector and Church streets, under
the United States Express Company
building. the rock ledge Is 40 feet be-
low the surface. Just a few hundred
feet to the northward this rocky ledge
Is 60 feet down under the ground.

NEW YORK.-The 100000 elec-

In connection with the Hudson Fulton
fete brought forth some interesting
comments from Thomas A. Edison.
who stands at the head of the list
among American electrical wizards
1T was wonderful! 1t was wonder
full" he exclaimed. st far surpassed
my expectations.
Mr.. Edison was reminded by his
caller that but for his discoveries and
development in electricity the display
would have been impossible.
"You have put the case too strong
ly," he responded, land this is no ex-
preston of modesty on my part,
either. If hadn't done what I have
done. somebody else would have done
1t.
II judged that the first nights dis
play on the Hudson took about 10000
horse power of electricity. When you
reflect that we now are able to utilize
only about three per cent. OF the eff
cheney of electricity after we have it
harnessed, and that 81 per cent. ut
terly goes to waste. you will get some
idea OF how far little of the mysteri.

Foreign Corporation Suits

Deadwood-Mus a corporation do

locality of it's head Office, or can such
suit be brought in any county in the
state? This a point never before
raised in South Dakota and which
the supreme court will be callea upon
to decide.
The point arose In the suit of B. M.
Mullen of this city, policy holder In
the Northern Accident Insurance Co.
Mullen brought suit in the local circuit
court to recover on an $50 policy. At
torneys for the defendant at once
moved for change of venue to Aher-
deem where the mead Office of the COM
pany Is situated and the only point
in the state where the company claims
its official residence AS Judge Rice
overruled this motion the case will
be taken higher up, the plaintiff
claiming that the contention of the
defendant would work hardship on
the policyholders who would have to
appear at Aberdeen and that as the
defendant company Is cha tered un1er
the laws of this state 1t can be sued
in any state court.

State Supreme Court

Pierre-Tne calendar for the Ccto-
Der term of the supreme court is out
and 1t is the shortest calendar in the
history of the court containing but
twenty-one cases, of which sixteen arc
on the criminal calendar. This short
calendar is caused by the ruling of the
court that no cases could be set for
argument at the october term except
criminal, preferred and rehearings
This Is to allow the court from now
until the April term to clear up al
old cases which are now before them
for consideration, and to allow them
to start with a clean slate at the
April term, and to keep the calendar
clear from that Time on. Such action
will allow decisions within few days
after arguments, and 1t is hoped, in
the future, prevent another situation
as at present, with cases from one yer
to several years behind the arguments
in the decisions
