He said that the Trust Law was not strong enough in its present form, and that he was in favor of making all combinations that restrained trade unlawful.
He declared that even if the effect of Trusts was to lower prices, he considered them injurious to the public good, because they prevented competition and drove the smaller men out of business.
The Tobacco Trust trial has resulted in a disagreement of the jury.
A wonderful diving-bell is being tried in the Great Lakes.
We described the method of using diving-bells in a previous number, but this new invention is built on an entirely different plan, and can accomplish results never before dreamed of.
The kind formerly made could not withstand the pressure of the water at any very great depth. No machine had been invented capable of bearing this strain until the new Smith bell was tried.
This bell has worked successfully in two hundred feet of water, and it is claimed can withstand the pressure at a much greater depth.
The most remarkable thing about the bell is that it can move about under the water, instead of merely being let down to remain in one place like an ordinary diving-bell.
Attached to its cage are four long arms, which can be moved about at will by the persons in the bell.
