AFFIRMS JUDGE COCHRAN

United States Circuit Court of APP
peals handed down its opinion in the
appeals of The Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company VS.. the United
States, affirming the judgments of the
Unitel States District Court at Gov
ington.
In these cases the railroad was pen
allied for violations of the safety APP
planes act, and sought reversals on
the ground the defective cars could
not have been discovered to be out of
order until their arrival at Cincinnati
or Silver Grove, KY, at which points
repairs were made. The Governments
case was founded on alleged defective
conditions found by Government in
spectors at Covington as the cars
we're in transit from Cincinnati to Sill
yer Grove and from Silver Grove tt
Cincinnati. The railroad commended
further the cars were not defective
when they left Cincinnati and Silver
Grove.
In its opinion Court held, in effect,
that had the railroad company made
the discovery itself of the defective
condition of the cars after the cars
were in transit between Cincinnati
and Silver Grove then the defective
cars could have been hauled on to
either point for repairs without sub
jecting the railroad to penalty. But
as the defective condition of the cars
was not discovered until their arrival
at Cincinnati or Silver Grove the rail-
road had no claim for exemption I'M

April IA, 1910.
Appellate Court affirmed the decree
of United States District Court for
Eastern Kentucky in the case of W. S.

VALUABLE LOAD OF HAY.

An incident that gives an idea Of
the enormous growth of Toronto
since Sanford Fleming, the Scotch
man who played SO important part
in the developing of Canada, first set
foot on its streets nearly seventy
years ago, is told by Mr.. Lawrence j.
Burpee in "Sandford Fleming, En-
pire Builder"
Andrew Sanderson, a farmer In
the township Of York, took load Of
hay one autumn to Toronto to sell
in the open market. Finding no sale,
and unwilling to take the load back
with him over very heavy roads, he
offered it to the proprietor of Elgin's
hotel on Yonge street on very easy
terms. The hotel keeper could i'll
spare the cash, and after some bar
gaining he offered Sanderson in pay
ment for the hay the vacant lot on
the northeast corner of King and
Yonge streets, which Sanderson re-
luctantly accepted. That lot was
sold not long ago for a million and
a quarter dollars.

LEARN TO LIKE GOOD MUSIC
Soldiers In Paris Lose Their Fancy for

It is curious to think that the gov

diers to Europe to get musical edu-
cation, according to Samuel Lei
louche, lance corporal of the Three
Hundred and Twenty-eighth infan-
try, army of France, who is in New
York on sick leave, says the New
York Herald.
The orchestra had just played the
overture from 81 Pagliacci," and the
corporal had listened to it with rapt
attention.
"Ah, but l love that kind of mu,
sic" he said. 81 never cared for il
much before l left my home in West
Haven, Conn, about three years age
and Joined the French army, but
there in France | heard nothing else
| grew to love fine music, and now !

all that sort of thing. 1t will be SC
with the American soldiers in
France. You see, they admit the
American soldiers free to the opera
there, and they soon learn to love it.
| saw how it was before | left Paris.
The musical taste of the boys was
being improved rapidly, and the
longer they stay over there the more
critical they will become, so that
eventually it will help music in this
country when they get back to their
homes, for they will insist upon hav-
ing what is good"

LEARNS BASS FAV0RITE FOOD
Scientific Fisherman Conducts Autopsy
Which Reveals Certain Kind Of
Beetle Has Preference.

A little body of water in Essex
county, in the Adirondack noun
tains, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle, has long been known
by the guides to contain exceptional
ly large black bass of the small
mouthed variety, but until quite re-
Gently no fish of large size had been
taken.
A few weeks ago a stranger to the
guides in the vicinity visited Lake
Bixby, as the pond is called, and
brought into camp string Of bass
which literally astonished the ma
tives. Before returning to civiliza-
ton the stranger partly revealed his
secret. He explained that on a pre-
vious visit he had caught a two
pound bass with conventional lure,
and had carefully subjected it to an
autopsy in order to identify its fa-
vorite food. He became satisfied that
the fish preferred a certain kind of
beetle, and this years experience
convinced him that his conclusion
was correct.
Unless the curious fisherman is
mistaken, the capture of bass in the
deep and cool Adirondack lakes will
be less difficult than formerly, as it is
claimed that the beetle is obtainable
without great trouble.

LlFEBOAT TRAVELS ON LAND
Craft Moves on Large Tractor Wheel,
Steadied and Steered by Two
TraiIers, Until Afloat.

A curious craft has made its ap-
pearance on the beach of Atlantic
City. 1t is a boat that can run up
on the hard sand and travel over the
land, albeit rather clumsily. This,
however, is to be expected, because,
after all, the water is its natural
habitat and its incursions on land
are onl y occasional.
When on land the boat travels on
a tractor wheel 20 inches wide and
81 inches in diameter, while it is
steadied and steered by two trail
wheels aft, according to CORE
spondent. The craft enters the wa
ter stern first until afoat, when the
steering wheels are lifted out of the
water and steering oar is brought
into play.
The inventor of this interesting
craft is Rear Admiral John A. How
ell, retired. His purpose in building
this amphibian boat is to provide a
craft which may be of value not
merely for taking excursionists out
through the surf, but also for life
saving purposes. Being an automo-
bile boat it dispenses with a large
crew and is much more powerful and
of greater capacity than the usual
lifeboat. Admiral Howell believes
that it can also be used for coast de-
Tense and as tender for seaplanes.
Furthermore, he considers it SUI
perior to other boats for handling
troops on open coasts. Admiral
Howell has been experimenting with
amphibian boats for many years and
this is his third and latest model.
