KRUPPS LOSE SUIT.
Supreme Court Refuses Injunction
AQainst Uncle Sam

On the theory that redress at law has
been given by statute. the Supreme Court
of the United States today declined to
enjoin Gen. William Crozier, chief Of
ordnance Of the United States Army,
from making gun carriages according to
a Krupp patent.
The German corporation owning the
patent asked for the Injunction in the
local courts. The Supreme Court held
the government had a license to take the
patent under the right of eminent do
main, and that compensation could be
procured at law.

annoyance. She warned him not to do
SO again, she declared. and he grabbed
her hands and a scufiie ensued. The
scissors opened. she said. and when he
drew her to him the blades entered his
breast. There were four wounds.

How Swans Preserve Their Young

From Country Life.
 That swans posses some power of req soning seems 10 be proved by the follow ing story, which is told by H. G. Hutchin- son:
 He says: "On a certain pond a pair of these birds had for two successive years matched out a pair of cygnets, only to find the young fluffy things devoured long before they came to the properly feathered age by one or other of tho large pike which lived in the pond. This last spring the swans made their nest in the usual place, matched out their cygnets as before, but as soon as the cygnets were matched disappeared from the pond altogether, parents, babies and all
 There is another pond. or lake, at a distance of mile and a half or so from the first, and on this lake the swans were found to be with their young ones: The puzzle was to know show they had got there. Their wings were so pinioned that they could not fly, and there were some very stiff and close fences between the one pond and the other.
 Subsequently a countryman said that he had seen one of them walking over the fields that lie between the ponds. He had noticed nothing more than the old swan walking. but there Is little doubt that had he been nearer or looked closer he would have seen that it was carrying a cygnet. or the pair of them. on, its back Almost certainly the birdE hHd walked and carried their young with them from the pond to the other.
 How they got through the fences is still unexplained. nor is 1t understood how they knew the second pond to be there. Aince it does not seem that they had ever
