FINAL ARGUMENTS MADE
IN THE TOBACCO CASE

Arguments in the American Tobacco
Company case in the United States Su.
preme Court. begun last week, were con-
cluded yesterday. Attorney General
Wickersham, whose argument was inter-
rupted Wednesday by the adjournment
of the court for the day, resumed when
the court met at noon yesterday. He
read from the exhibits of correspondence
that had passed between the American
Tobacco Company. the Imperial, or Eng
lish company, and local agents, to show
the control exercised over the market for
leaf tobacco.
Asked by Justice McKenna if he main
tanned that the conceded growth OF busi-
ness since the formation of the tobacco
trust was hot to be considered in deter
mining whether there had been a restraint
Of trade, Mr.. Wickersham replied that
growth Of business, il the growth Injured
to the benefit Of the trust. was no answer
to a charge Of unlawful restraint upon
commerce. Justice Harlan had said so in
words in the Northern Securities case.
John G. johnson. Of Philadelphia, one
Of the counsel for the American Tobacco
Company. had recovered from his sudden
illness Of Tuesday. which necessitated
his absence from the court room Wednes-
day. and was present during the argu-
ments yesterday.
The entire American Tobacco case is
now before the court for its decision.

WANTS MONEY FOR ARMY.
Hull Urges Artillery Equipment fol
Regular Militia.

The army appropriation bill. reported to
the House yesterday by Representative
Hull, of Iowa, chairman Of the House
Committee on Military Affairs. recon-
mends the appropriation Of 1,0O.OO for
field and coast artillery equipment for
the regular militia, and 100000 for am
munition. This is the best evidence that
the testimony of Gen. Leonard Wood,
Chief of Staff of the army, when he ap-
peared before the committee recently.
with reference to the unpreparedness of
the United States for a war had a decided
effect. Increased artillery equipment was
one of the things most urgently recon-
mended by Gen. Wood.
OF the appropriation for the artillery
equipment of militia, $4,000 is for field
artillery material and $4,000 for dummy
guns and mortars. dummy ammunition
and appliances for coast artillery COM
paneS of militia
The army bill for the fiscal year 1872
carries a total of So. 81, 31.7S. a reduction
of $344, 4,045.75 from the army appropriation
measure of the current year.
The purchase, at an expenditure of not
more than $4,000 of not less than 5000
acres of land accessible to the horse
raising section of Virginia, for the as
sembling, grazing, and training of horses
purchased for the mounted service is au-
thorized.

MEMORIAL HIGHWAY WANTED.
afean Again Introduces Bill for
Road to Gettysburg.

Representative Lafean. Of Pennsylvania
has reintroduced in the House his bill
for a Lincoln memorial highway. The
bill was first introduced by Mr.. Lafean
in the first session Of the Sixty-first
Congress. The new bill differs from the
old one in that it provides for a commits
sion to construct the memorial highway,
the commission to be appointed by the
President The compensation and tenure
of Office of the commission is also to be
fixed by the President.
The route of the proposed highway is
through the most beautiful and fertile
parts of Maryland. Should the bill be-
come a law and the Lincoln way be
constructed, it would open up part of
the country that is now in most cases
inaccessible by either steam or electric
railroads. The construction of the high
way would be an incentive for the con-
struction of railways in that part of
MARYLAND now reached only by automo-
biles and carriages.
The bill provides that the memorial
highway be not less than 200 feet wide,
beginning in the neighborhood Of the
White House in Washin gton and extend
ing to the battlefield OF Gettysburg. It
is proposed to build an appropriate archi-
tectural entrance to the highway in
washington and a fitting terminal struc-
ture at Gettysburg. The bill carries an
of 100000.

PEAT AS A FUEL.
Report Issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey

Logical survey.
In country so richly endowed with
mineral fuels-coal, petroleum, and nat
ural gas--as is the United States, it
would at first glance seem unlikely that
peat should ever become a widely used
fuel, at least not for many generations.
II is true that European countries man
ufaeture peat fuels to the value of sl0,-
600. 900 or Sl2,OO000o annually, but this
is done for communities that are remote
from coal deposits. However, peat may
yet come into considerable local use as
a fuel in the United States, and soon
er, perhaps, than most people expect.
1t is claimed by the United States geo
logical survey that of the great unre-
claimed swamp area of the United
States s per cent. may constitute work
able beds of fuel peat, with total con-
tent equivalent to II billion tons of
air dry fuel 1t is somewhat singular
that the regions containing these peat
beds lie almost entirely outside of the
territory in which coal and other natur-
al mineral fuels are known to exist in
abundance. With the perfection of peat
briquetting machinery these beds may
play no ineonsiderable part in furnish
ing at least supplementary or aux
iliary fuel for local consumption. As a
fuel peat is no makeshift it is high
" efficient and desirable and the prac-
tieability OF its use is controlled prin-
cipally by the cost of production.
Ready Sale for Fuel Peat.
In an advance chapter from mineral
resources for 1909, Charles A. Davis
remarks that in spite OF the fact that
the use of peat as a fuel has been al
most entirely neglected in the United
States, there has been nevertheless since
1908, considerable and persistent in
terest in the question of utilizing the
great peat deposits of the country, and
many attempts, some of them involv-
ing, the expenditure of large sums OF
money, have been made to place fuel
peat on the market in commercial guam
titles. The failure to bring about this
result, Mr.. Davis thinks, has been due
not to the nature of the peat itself,
but to other factors, such as oyerenthu-
siasm, lack of understanding of funda-
mental principles of economical produc-
ton, too little capital, and too much
confidence in poorly designed and I'M
tried machinery. The fact that there
is a market for peat has not been ques-
toned, for the small quantity of the
product offered has always been sold
readily and at good prices. The report
describes a considerable use of peat as
a fertilizer and fertilizer filler. and Of
peat moss as stable litter and even as
an ingredient of stock food. The pro-
duction and consumption Of peat in 1900
was LAS tons used for fuel, valued at
s4.4l5; 26,70s tons used for fertilizer,
valued at sllss9l; and l,245 tons used
for stable litter, valued at $4,000 to-
tai of 29l6T tons, valued at Sl27,042.
There was also imported 9.40S tons used
as stable litter, valued at S47,227.

TIL. shapes Of Eaas.

There was recently had before the
Geological society OF London a mathe-
matical discussion of the differences in
the shape of eggs. A few eggs. like
those of the owl and the tortoise. are
spherical. or nearly so: few, like the
grebe's or the cormorant's, are clip
teal. with symmetrical ends; the great
majority, Ike the hens. are ovoid. or
blunter at one end than the other. The
ben's egg is always laid blunt end fore
most. Eggs that are the most unsym-
metrical are also eggs Of large size
relatively TO the parent bird. The
yolks of eggs are spherical, whatever
the form OF the entire egg may be.
