Aug. 27.?Judge Prltch ard. In the Unit* ?1 states circuit OOUft, In the Ion* expected ' opinion, an? nounced In the rate case of the South? ern Railway against the corporation commission and attoieny general of North Carolina, uphold* the jurisdic? tion of his court In the Issuance of tht recent Injuction against the offi? cials, during the railroad rate contro? versy and declarer that the suit Is aot on against ths State. \ itWi. the meaning of the Uth amendment to ths federal tonsltutlon. That amendment hold that the ju? dicial power of the United States shall not extend to any suit against a stats by citlsen* of anotner State. Ths decision says that tts state leg? islature cannot so frame an act as to deprive a elt Isen of the right vouch? safed him by the federal constitution slid It does not possess power to deprive this court of Its Jurisdiction aad the sooner these questions are definitely determined the better it will be f ?r all partle? concerned." The decision holds that the corpor atloa commissioners are still chatged with making ratss. the only limita? tion up ?n th*lr power being that they ?hall not mak* a maximum rate In North Carotins In excess of 2 1-4 cents per mile. Ths corporation commission snd attoreny general are "lpectsUy charged" with the duty of securing the enforcement of section 4 of the pnsotnt^r rate act. which pro? vides heavy penalties and fines for the failure of railroads and their off.-*) ctils to comply with this act." All Isws In existence on passage of that act. bearing on, the supervision aad control of railroads, etc.. are to be. construed in connection with rate act. "It I* "inconceivable." the decision says, "that the circuit court of the United States In the exercise of Its Jurisdiction, should be powerless to afford a remsdy to one who seeks to assert a right guaranteed by the constitution of the United States). This Is in no sense a suit against the State, nor can It b? successfully eon tended that the State Is In any wise a party In Interest. In so far as the merits of the contra,?rsy are con? cerned. 'It 'cannot b- reasonably Insisted that this Is a suit to prevent the State from enforcing any right which would he a suit to compel the per? formance of obligation of the State nor does lb la any wise Involve a matter In which th*? State has pecuniary Interests?the parties in Interest being the cornptalnant on one le and the traveling public on the other. "Therefore the questions present ed are not such as t > warrant the as?umptlrn that the court is with? out the jurisdiction and careful stu ly pf ths circumstances attending the ad'-aJon of rh? nth amendment a* Well *s the end to be obtained by the I dopt Ion of the same, show, con sherrteljr thit those who were res? ponsible for Its adoption never dream? ed that It could be used as a means of depriving an American cltl*?*n of a substantial right conferred upon ?pja by the constitution of the Uni? ted State*. "The llth amendment being a part of the constitution It must be oonstru Sd so as to give full force and sffscjl to every prWVtnpJU. of the Instrument of \ \ ich it forms n part. Any other cone -acti >r. of this amendment would prsct?cnllv nullify that clause ?of th*> constitution which provides that no State shftll pass laws Impairing the obligations r>f contracts <*s well as the 14th amendment." The opinion shows that the law of North CsVollna especially ptovMe upon whit terms an Injunction shall be granted to suspend rates, pending litigation, or Involving the COaflsOS tory nat ire of euch rates?that sta Sates of North Carolina expressly authorised the course pursued by the so arts thin the freight rates were Involved but does not even require a bond for such Injunction when pa?sen?-?r fares are In litigation.

N MAKING CSE OF .SOLAIt HEAT, 3mm May Come When the Sun Will ltun World's Engines. "Science/' said Prof. Huxley, "is frequently on the brink of some grea\ truth, but it is left to chance to dis? perse the vapors which obscure it." How true this is was never so well exemplified as at the outset of the twentieth century, says the Chicago Chronicle, W? are actually hovering on tlie very margin of the promised land, so that many who are not seers. in the metaphysical sense, may pierce the mist. Today In Europe and North America, in chemistry, in biology, in phystcSi in astronomy, in geology, a thousand eager brains are at work end a number of interesting problems are almost solved. A problem which has been engag? ing the wits of practical philosophers for the last quarter of a century con i? i ns tlie utilization of solar heat. Nothing Is more important to the world than the supply of heat for economics and Industrial purposes. Fci< noe has learned to prevent the dissipation of cold and Ice has long bun produced with little trouble in the heart of the tropics.1 Bui tin conservation of heat has so far baffled the Inventor, although he *oe.s the ? vil lay approaching when it Rill be of the utmost moment to the Inhabitants of this planet. As Sto pnenson said, it is really the sun Which drives our engines, though at ???com! hand, for what is coal but stored sun power 7 According to the late Prof Langley, from every square yard of earth ex? posed perpendicularly to the sun's rays there could be derived more than OPS horse power. TnUI in less than the area of London the noontide heat Is guAcient on a moderately sunny day to drive all the steam engines in the world. One of the first to put this idea to [tactical teat was M. IfOUchot, who constructed a solar engine looking like a gigantic Inverted umbrella. The parabolic reflector concentrated the heat on the boiler In the focus, and drove a steam engine with , It. Mr. Ellison Invsntsd an improved form, but the difficulty hitherto has been to lessen the cost of Utlllllng the heat. "I hope some day," declared Mr. Tesla, "with an apparatus I have In* Vented so to harness the rays of the sur. that that body will operate every mat him- in our factories, propel every USln and carriage in our streets and do nil the cooking in our home, as well as furnish al the light that man may need by night as well as by day. It wvill. in short, replace all wood and coal as a producer of motive power and heat and electric lighting." His Idea Is simple enough, consist? ing as It does of concentrating the heat of the sun on n focal point by a series at mirrors and magnifying glasses and the great heat so produc? ed Is directed upon a glass cylinder filled with water. This latter is chem? ically prepared so that It rapidly evap? orates Into steam. The steam Is made to operate a steam engine, which, in turn, gene? rates electricity. This electrlcty it> re? ceived by storage batteries and a vast end cheap supply is generated for all purposes With tnousands of these sun sta? tions located here, and then the whole Industrial problem would seem to be solved for mankind. ?Hewitt's Carbollied witch Hasel Salvo is good for bolls, burns, cuts, ?Saids and skin diseases.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2s.?By using the principle ol the common hot-bed, by which farmers mow fresh vegeta? bles In the dead Of win'*:-. Frank Shuman, chemist, thinks he haj solv? ed the old problem of converting the sun's heat Into power. He now has an engine running that gets its power from the sun. Shuman, who i- the inventor of the concrete file used In skyscraper construction and or the wire glass, say I his machine will rev? olutionize the motive power of the world. On the Shuman property in Tacony there Is a wooden box 60 feet sunk Into the ground. It is covered with a double top of ordinary hot-house glass with a one-inch air space between the layers. instead of being filled with greehs it is filled with coiled iron pipes, painted black. These pipes, filled with ether, connect with a small upright engine, the ether is convert? ed into vapor in the bib box passes through the engine, developing three and a half horsepower, thence into a condenser and back again to the hot? bed. No fuel Is,used, the heat of the sun converts the liquid into vapor. The light rays of the sun in this latitude, Shuman says. can yield a temperature of about 350 .to 450 decrees. The rays pentrate the double gla^.s cover and are ibsorbed and converted into heat rays by the dark metallic surface of the pipes. The air space prevents the heat from escaping, and whatever is in the pipes will boil, if there is water in tin pipes it will be turned into steam, and the steam can be used to run*an engine, which is just what is being done here. Chiet* afoore of the Weather bureau and several scientists are coming to see the machine work. Shuman. who Is a wealthy man. frankly admits that his machine will not run in cloudy weather. ?To check a cold quickly, get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Prewntics.

Letter to (beddings & Jones. i Sum tor, S. C. Dear Sirs: A new word has come Into use in paint; it is strong. Strong paint is paint as strong as paint can be. Weak paint is paint not so strong. If one paint takes 10 gallons to do a job and another 15, the 10-gallon paint is the stronger. if one paint wears 10 years, and another 5, the 10-year paint Id the stronger. The strongest paint is the one that takes least gallons and wears longest. Hut*do such differences exist? Yes and greater. Devoe la the strongest of all. A job that takes t> gallons Devoe takes more than 2" of some. And a job of Devoe wears several times as long as a Job of sonn- paint-. O E Perry.
