Think WEBB LAW
IS NULL IN STATE.
THIS IS OPINION OF RAILWAY AND
EXPRESS OFFICIALS.
n, c. & St. L. Attorney win Advise
His Railway to Continue the
Handling Of All Liquors Others
Take Same View.

Nashville While there is a law in
existence ia Tennessee that forsds the
sale Of liquors in tennessee, in that t
makes it unlawful to sell them within
four miles Of school house, it is the
opinion at present Of officials of the
railroads and some Of the express com
panies that the Webb law is Ineffective
here.
Judge Claude Waller, chief counsel for
the Nashville, chattanooga 1t. Louis
Railroad Company, has been asked by
the freight department Of his road for
an opinion on the subiect. and while he
has not yet given that opinion he told
reporter that he had given the sub
ject considerable thought in the past
few days, end that he will notify his
company to continue handling ship
ments OF liquor until further orders.
Il cannot see whore the railroads can
be prosecuted said Judge Waller,
when there is no penalty attached for
violation of the Webb act, and wh,n
there is no law iS Tennessee placing
any penalty on any railroad Or com
mon carrier for violation Of the law
While | recognize the fact that it IS
illegal to sell intoxicating liquors in
Tennessee, | also am aware that the
state has not SO far placed a penalty
for bringing it into the state by inter
state shipment, hence | am not now
going to advise my road to refuse to
accept shipments consigned to Tennes-
see.
Furthermore, there are no laws on
the statutes of Tennessee forbdding in
tra-stats cisrrying of liquors, and | take
it in that case we can bring it here be-
cause we are not violating any state
law and we are paying no attention to
the Webb act which does not attempt
to penalize us"
Judge Waller said he would attend
general conference OF railroad counsel
called at Washington, when the subject
will be thoroughly discussed from a
legal viewpoint, and that he will not
submit an opinion to his road until
after that conference.
The Southern and Adams express
companies continue to bring into Ten
nessee consignments of liquor from
otler states. They take the same view
of the situation as does Judge Waller

WILL MAKE IRON BOIL
ScIENTiFIc MEN SUCCEED IN PRO
DuclNG FIERCE HEAT.
Granulated Aluminium Mixed With
Oxide Of Iron Resulted In a Tenn
perature Of 5000 Degrees Cen
tigrade, the Record.

For some years past scientific men
have been striving to produce heat
fiercer than any temperature Of which
we have experience in ordinary life.
The greatest heat ever developed by
the agency of man was obtained by
Sir Andrew Noble, who exploded cord
lite In closed vessels, so that a pres
sure Of so tons to the square inch was
registered and degree Of heat never
previously recorded.
The highest temperature reached
in fuel furnaces for practical pur-
poses Is between 100 and 1900 de-
grees centigrade, and at such heat
fire clay and porcelain are melted.
Then we come to the flame fed with
and coal gas; by these means a
temperature Of 1000 degrees cent?
grade may be obtained.
A new industry solely dependent
upon the employment of great heat
is that of melting quartz. This min
eral, fused by the oxy-hydrogen
flame, is converted into tubes and
TASKS and other vessels for chemi-
cal purposes. These vessels are abb
solutely inert, and may be heated
hundreds of degrees higher than is
possible with glass; they may also
be plunged at such heat into cold
water without injury.
1t has been discovered that by
whirling centrifugal wheel at high
velocity in the combustion chamber
of a furnace the nitorgen is cast to
one side, while the oxygen is con-
centrated, and in this way a bright
er flame and greater heat are OBJ
tanned A similar appliance used
during the combustion of coal in a
furnace enables a firm of paper
makers to save 27 per cent. of their
coal bill by the elimination Of
hydrogen gas formed in combus-
tion
But most remarkable of all the
phases of the utilization of extreme
heat is the discovery of the welding
material known as thermit The
inventor discovered that aluminium
1s very much attached to oxygen,
and holds 1t closer than a brother
Therefore he mixed granulated alu-
minium with oxide Of iron. for the
lighter metal wants oxygen, and the
quantity of magnesium filings was
placed on top of the mixture and a
storm-match applied, and immedi-
ately mass of molten iron was
seen boiling at a temperature OF
5000 degrees centigrade - much
higher than any temperature in Or
binary use.

Real Meaning Of "PotIuck."

"Potluck" is defined in such a
practical way in Limoges, France, that
the beholder ever after remembers
that 1t means, take what you get
and say nothing" In certain corner
of that quaint city Of jostling roofs
there is still segregated. much as II
in a ghetto, Saracen population,
probably a remnant Of the wave of
Saracens that swept over Europe hun
dreds of years ago. Here they live
In their crooked. narrow streets, fol-
lowing old customs handed down from
generation to generation. There are
many butcher shops In the quarter
and outside of each steams a great
pot Of soup over a glowing brazier.
In each pot stands ladle as ancient
as the pot When a customer comes
with penny in goes the ladle and
comes up full Of savory broth and
chunks of meat, odds and ends that
the butcher has had left over. And
what comes up the customer has to
take.

Wonder Of Common Things.

live, in this little cottage that
seems to have alighted, like a bird.
on the slope Of this gentle hill. Red
and white peonies grow before the
door, enriching the air with their
fragrance. They charm both me and
the bees In yonder bush beside the
door a chipping-sparrow sits upon her
nest; and In the swinging branch OF
heNelm tree overhead two orioles rear
their brood, and as they fash by,
their golden colors delight the human
beings that watch them. Look over
that stone wall, and mark how its fat
line gives an incompatible effect to
the landscape. See our New England
fields dotted with New England elms;
and far beyond see those white-sailed
schooners scud before the boisterous
wind. The farmers boy, who fetches
milk and eggs. left me that nosegay of
wild flowers. Look! Look! See how
the whiteness Of that cloud glorifles
the blue Of the sky. Is 1t not strange
that all these things, that go about
their own business, should, by the
way, perform work of supereroga-
ton and give us so much unnecessary
pleasure?-H. D. Sedgwick, in the

Iron Bearing Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity of
iron carried in certain plants, with a
view to the effect on the human sys.
tenn when those plants are used as
food. Artificially prepared foods con.
tanning iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron
Is not completely assimilated. This
difficulty, it is thought, may be avoid.
ed by causing plants to take up an in.
creased quantity of iron during their
natural growth. BY adding hydrate of
iron to the soil in which it was grow
ing, the experimenters have succeeded
in producing spinach containing per-
centage of iron seven times as great
as that found in ordinary spinach. 1t
is believed that the process will prove
successful with other ferruginous
plants.

ably to the moral character, by en-

WAYS OF CLEVER ATTORNEY
introducing Evidence by Dramatic
Methods ls One of the Chief Means
Of Influencing a Jury.

Many devices have been employed
In the courtroom productive of an ef
fect far more telling upon the jury
than mere words.
A suit was brought some years ago
by the people of certain quarter of
Montreal against a manufacturing
company. The vile odors of the chem
icals used in the works, they alleged.
had made the neighborhood untenan-
table and seriously lessened the value
of their property.
The judge and the jury were dis
posed to turn a deaf ear to the COM
plant, says the Green Bag. The CON-
pany was rich and powerful and IAN
alleged SMELL" as their counsel de-
clared, was too intangible a griev-
ance to grasp"
One OF the opposing counsel was
seen to go out and not long after re-
turned with two glass retorts.
Here" he said, ARE the offending
subjects of our contention" He pass
ed them to the judge and then to the
jury, who smelled them and smilingly
declared them pure and odorless.
But" said the counsel, "the COM
pany mixes them" He suddenly
poured the contents of one of the re-
torts into the other and the nauseous
fumes of hydro-sulphuric acid or sui
phuretted hydrogen filled the air.
Judge, jury and spectators choked for
breath. 1t was necessary to adjourn
court until the next day, when heavy
damages were at once awarded to
the plaintiffs.
In murder trial before western
court the prisoner was able to ac-
count for the whole of the time ex-
cept five minutes on the evening when
the crime was committed. His coun-
sci argued that it was impossible for
him to have killed the man under the
circumstances in SO brief period.
When the prosecuting attorney re-
piled he said, How long time really
is five minutes? Let us see. Will his
honor command an absolute silence
in the courtroom for that space?"
The Judge granted this request
There was a clock on the wall Ev-
cry eye in the courtroom was fixed
upon 1t as the pendulum licked of
the seconds. There was breathless
silence. We all know how time which
is waited for creeps and halts and
at last does not seem to move at all
The keen witted counsel waited until
the tired audience gave a sigh of re-
lief at the close of the period and then
quietly asked:
Gould he not have struck one ia
tai blow in all of that timer"
Dramatic effects, however, are haz
ardous agencies to use, as 1t is moi
impossible to spoil them as an anti
climax, as member of the English
parliament found when at the close
of fiery adjuration to the govern
ment 10 declare war he cried out
"Unsheath the sword!" and drawing
dagger threw 1t on the floor.
"Ah!" coolly said an opponent
There is the knife, but where is the
fork?"

for fatigue from overwork consists in
walking barefoot in sand. The nerves

The effect produced is highly invig'
