there is bright side in the sunlight of

so high and see so far as to behold all
the gifts of the cheerful giyer on their
way at this festal season to the comfort
less howell and the fireless heartstone,
we might recognize the image of the
Great Gift in the beneyolence of His be-

The storm now skipping over US with
all the freshness of youth, is really re-

HALF MILLION WAS INVOLVED
Bond Bros. Win Big Timber Land Suit
in West Virginia.

An important decision handed down
by the West Virginia Supreme Court of
Appeals at Charleston, last week was
the case of VIM. c. Bond and n. U.
Bond against W. S. Taylor and the
Harper's Ferry Timber Co., for about
$500 acres of timber near Durbin,
Pocahontas county, West Virginia, which
affirmed the finding of.thelower court.
The suit involved the title to proper
ty worth half million dollars, and was
one of the most bitterly contested cases
ever fought out in the courts of West
Virginia, but was series of victories
for these invincible plaintiffs over
period of six years. Thel record of the
case filled more than a thousand printed
pages. 1t nearly reached nine hundred
pages before it came up to the Supreme
Court.
The case began with an injunction
from Judge Reynolds, of.Keyser; later
another from the local court at Marlin
ton; then decision of the T. S. circuit
court at Charleston whereby the plain
titfs not having notice, a wrong decision
was rendered by that court. Judge
Keller, the presiding judge, who, after
rehearing having been misled by the
defendants, changed his decisions.
Then the case went back to the lower
court namely, the circuit court of West
Virginia. 1t was there iHon. VIM. r.
Bennett, of Fayette county, made the
decree in favor of VIM. c. and n. U.
Bond on June 4th, 1909. This decree
was appealed to the Supreme Court of
Appeals of West Virginia. On account
of more than hundred gcases ahead of
it the case could not be reached until
now. Since 'all is we'll that ends we'll. "
the plaintiffs could afford to wait
The syllabus or opinion was written
by Judge Miller and concurred in by all
FIVE of the supreme Judges, who made
it one of the most positive and absolute
DEGREES that could BE made, affirming
every point of the lower court except to
cancel the word i''land," which was
mistake or a slip of the pen by the lower
court. In fact the Supreme Courts
opinion is expressed in much stronger
terms favorable.to the plaintiffs than
was the district circuit courts decree,
pointing out or referring IN palmer
terms to the fraud attempted by the de-
PENDANTS in the case against Bond Bros,
the plaintiffs.
Bond Bros. are operating..:.a mill at
Bond Siding, near Thomas, W. Va.
VIM. c. Bond lives at Thomas. The big
lumber plant at Bond Md, was former
ly owned and operated by{Bond Bros.
1t is their intention now that all obsta-
Giles have been removed,i to put in a
hundred thousand capacity mill at Dur
bin probably next spring, The tract is
a virgin forest of firstIclass timber and
is estimated at more Ethan hundred
million feet.

Hearinu Electricity.

Alternating electric currents may
be perceived directly by the ear, with
out using a telephone disk to convert
them into mechanical movement. Ex-
periments made by Joseph Rieder of
Steglftz, Germany, show that it is
possible, by simple apparatus, to
charge the whole body with the rapid
ly alternating impulses due to the cur
rent. The drum of the ear vibrates
in response to this action, and hence
a sound is heard. 1t is necessary SIM
ply to press against the ear the outer
metallic coating of a Leyden jar
whose inner coating is connected with
one pole OF an induction coil, and to
grasp the opposite pole with the hand.
Rieder thinks it not impossible to per-
feet this arrangement so that it will
transmit speech telephonically.

Peculiar Air Waves

Ocular evidence of the existence of
waves and currents in the atmosphere
is obtained, according to the French
astronomer Raymond, by projecting
on a screen a magnified image of the
sun. The first observation of this
kind was made by Ventura. The TO-
cussing can be so adjusted as to bring
out sharply the vibrations of the air
In the form of markings which cross
the suns image. A remarkable regu-
larity and parallelism Of the markings,
and consequently Of the stream lines
of the atmosphere is frequently OBJ
served.
