# Omniana/Volume 1/Clock-Mill

20. Clock-Mill.
About the middle of the 16th century, Frey Rodrigo de Corcuera, invented a mill which worked like a clock: a model of which he laid before Charles Vth. It was considered as an invention of considerable importance in a country where running streams are scarce, and calms frequent, and the Emperor ordered him to erect one at Aguilar de Campos. He died before it was completed. This same Monk presented Maximilian with a sword, which by means of a spring, shot out a point of diamond with such force as to pierce the strongest breast-plate.
Yepes, t. 6. ff. 91.
# Omniana/Volume 1/Coup de soleil

36. Coup de soleil.
I have seldom seen, especially in modern writers, so gross an instance of credulity as the following:
"I have forgotten to notice in the body of my work," says P. Labat, in one of his prefaces, "an infallible and easy remedy for those Strokes of the Sun, which are so dangerous, especially since both men and women have thought proper to go bare-headed, for fear of deranging the economy of their hair. Messrs. les Medecins, of whose number I have not the honour to be, will, I hope, pardon me this little infringement upon their rights. Here is the remedy. When a person is struck with the sun, he must as soon as possible point out with his finger the place where he feels the most acute pain; the hair must then be shaved there, and a bottle of cold water applied to it, so ​dexterously inserted upon the place as not to run out, the bottle being nearly full. Thus it must be held till the water begins to bubble and toss as if it were upon a fire: and then a fresh bottle is to be promptly substituted from time to time, till the water ceases to contract any heat, when the patient will be entirely cured, and out of all danger. This remedy is simple and easy, and the reader may be assured that its efficacy has been repeatedly proved." Had not the account been related with such absurdity as well as exaggeration, it might have been inferred that the affusion of cold water on the head had been used with success.
# Omniana/Volume 1/Criticism

91. Criticism.
Many of our modern criticims on the works of our elder writers, remind me of the connoisseur, who taking up a small cabinet picture, railed most eloquently at the absurd caprice of the artist in painting a horse sprawling. Excuse me, Sir, (replied the owner of the piece) you hold it the wrong way: it is a horse galloping.

# Notable South Australians/Thos. Goode, Sen., J.P.

Layout 2
Thos. Goode, Sen., J.P.
BORN in the West of England in 1816, arrived in South & Australia, 1851. In the early days of the Murray River Steam Navigation Company's existence he pitched his tent at Goolwa, and opening a general store, watched patiently for results. Owing to his untiring industry, he prospered, and as Goolwa grew his business grew with it. There being no medical practitioner, Mr. Goode, who was a thoroughly practical chemist, having had great medical and surgical experience in the old country, became the friend and adviser of everyone who had ailments of any kind. He turned his medical knowledge to account without fee or reward, as many owners of broken legs and arms could testify. Mr. Goode erected large and convenient premises for business, and threw himself heart and soul into every project for the advancement of the South and benefit of the river trade. He was frequently urged by numerous friends to allow himself lo be nominated as representative in the House of Assembly, but as he never courted popularity, and feeling that he could serve the district better in a private capacity, declined to come forward. Was placed on the Commission of the Peace, and exercised his functions with moderation and uprightness. Believed in the practicability of the Goolwa canal scheme, and advocated ​its formation with energy, gathering a great deal of information, and making valuable diagrams and models, illustrating the manner in which the work could be carried out successfully. In philanthropic movements he was ready with sympathizing heart and hand to afford relief and assistance. Several years since, owing to an internal complaint, Mr. Goode retired from business, leaving it to be conducted by his sons, Messrs. Thomas and Edward Goode. Even then his active mind could not rest, for he was invariably engaged either in directing farming operations or making improvements in his residence and grounds near Goolwa. He was one of the trustees of the Wesleyan Church, and a liberal supporter of its funds. He died at Goolwa, October 26, 1882, aged 66. Mr. Goode was the brother of Messrs. M. & C. H. Goode, merchants, of Adelaide.
# Notable South Australians/Ven. Archdeacon Woodcock

Layout 2
Ven. Archdeacon Woodcock,
WHO died at North Adelaide, May 25, 1868, in his 60th year, was one of whom it may well be said, "He was a most worthy colonist, and a man whose whole life was imbued with the spirit of catholicity, true nobleness, and goodness." He came out under the auspices of the S.P.G., and arrived in South Australia with Mrs. Woodcock and family on May 7, 1846. He preached his first sermon in Trinity Church, and it was apparent to all who heard him that the ecclesiastics of the colony had received a valuable addition to their numbers. Prior to his arrival here he laboured for some time in New Zealand, and the East and ​West Indies, and it is probable that the enervating influence of the climate in these mission fields was the cause of his failing health at a comparatively early age. On Archdeacon Hale being created Bishop of Perth, Mr. Woodcock was advanced to the Archdeaconry. He was a warm, earnest, and zealous worker, his efforts not being confined to his own congregation, as Pulteney-street School, St. Peter's College, and various organizations and mission objects were indebted to him for help. His widow, Mrs. Woodcock, a lady possessed of much amiability of character, resides at present near Adelaide.
# Notable South Australians/W. J. Peterswald

Layout 2
W. J. Peterswald.
THIS well-known Commissioner of Police in South Australia was born in Jamaica, in 1830. His father was a West India planter, who, after the slave emancipation, sold out and settled in Edinburgh. Mr. Peterswald was educated at the Edinburgh and Military Academies, in that city. He came to this colony in the ship "Charlotte Jane," Captain Lawrence, in 1853, and he embarked considerable capital in farming pursuits, of which he had had no experience, and in consequence lost all in a few years. Whilst in the country he embodied and commanded the "Munno Para East Rifle Company," 100 strong, and, as drill instructors were scarce, drilled and trained them personally without assistance. They were considered the smartest company of volunteers in those days. He afterwards came to Adelaide, and became clerk-assistant to the House of Assembly, and in 1862, when Inspector Pettinger was murdered, he took his place in the Police Force; resigned in 1866, and became Warden of Gold Fields, which position he occupied until 1874, when he was re-appointed to the Police Force as Inspector and Superintendent. On Mr. Hamilton's retirement in 1881 Mr. Peterswald was appointed Acting-Commissioner, and in ​1882, Commissioner. The South Australian Police Force will bear favourable comparison with that of any other part of Her Majesty's dominions, and there is little doubt that its present efficiency is mainly due to the energy and ability displayed by its representative head. Since taking office the Commissioner has made many important reforms, all being for the public weal; and the citizens of Adelaide, as well as the colony at large, may be congratulated in possessing in him a most active and zealous advocate for the maintenance of law and order. Many criminals who thought to pursue their nefarious calling in our midst have been promptly brought to justice, and the celerity with which the machinery of the law has been set in motion has doubtless had a deterring effect on their associates.
# Notable South Australians/Very Rev. John Smyth

Layout 2
Very Rev. John Smyth,
VICAR-GENERAL of the R. C. denomination, died in Adelaide, June 30, 1870, aged 47. Born in 1824 at Kilmore, Westmeath, Ireland. Received his elementary education at Mr. Brady's classical school, Cavan, from which he went to the Diocesan Seminary of Navan in 1846. In. the following year he entered the college of the Propaganda at Rome, and was ordained as priest on June 10, 1852. He arrived in South Australia in May 1853. After the death, of Dr. Geoghegan he was appointed Administrator Apostolic^ which important position he retained until the arrival of Dr. ​Shiel as Bishop, who made him his Vicar-General. He was stationed in Adelaide, but often visited the country districts on the occasion of the opening or the laying of the foundation-stone of churches, and he accompanied the Bishop to the Provincial Synod at Melbourne in 1868, where he was appointed Secretary. By his conscientiousness, uniform kindness and tender regard for the feelings of all with whom he came in contact he won the affection of every member of the clergy and laity. Vicar-General Smyth was known and respected beyond the pale of his own church, having taken an active part in matters affecting the well-being of the colony. As a preacher and platform orator he possessed an amount of eloquence and earnestness that were always effective.
# Notable South Australians/W. H. Charnock

Layout 2
W. H. Charnock,
WHO joined the firm of Stilling & Co. (the General Commission Merchants and Shipping Agents) as a junior partner, arrived in Adelaide in 1849, and is now its sole representative. He was born in 1824, in Lancashire, England, and being possessed of considerable mercantile experience, has, by his business capabilities and honorable conduct, made himself extremely popular. He has been identified with many Societies and Companies, and among the offices he has held or now holds, has been Chairman of ​the Chamber of Commerce, the Adelaide Underwriters' Association, and is at present a Trustee of the Savings Bank, a Director of the Adelaide Steamship Company, the Adelaide Steam Tug Company, the Mutual Life Assurance Association of Australasia, Chairman of the Commercial Union Fire and Marine Insurance Company, President of the Sailors' Home, and a Director of the Bushman's Club. The very fact of Mr. Charnock's filling these important positions is a guarantee to members of English Commercial circles that business conducted through his firm will be on a satisfactory basis, and it is on such lines that a great future will be built up in this part of the Australias.
# Notable South Australians/Ulysses Bagot

Ulysses Bagot,
BROTHER of the late Hon. J. T. Bagot, arrived in the colony in 1851, and was for upwards of twenty-eight years engaged in various positions in the Civil Service. Died November 8, 1882, aged 62 years.
# Notable South Australians/Victor Dumas

Layout 2
Victor Dumas,
ONE of the pioneers of the Mount Barker district, died December 27, 1882, aged seventy-six. Coming as he did from the French nobility, and being well educated, first at Merchant Tailor's School, and subsequently at Cambridge, he was admirably fitted for the position of a public instructor of youth, and when he fell on troublous times in his native land he came to South Australia, took up his abode in the then sparsely populated town of Mount Barker, and followed the natural bent of his inclination, namely, the profession of a teacher. He was a man of great intelligence, well read, and regarded quite as an authority on times, events, and histories. As a Latin scholar he was probably unequalled in the colony, and he carried off a widely contested prize in a competition in Latin verse. It is stated that he was related to the famous novelist Dumas.

United States Supreme Court
86 U.S. 560
Nunez v. Dautel
The paper was clearly not a promissory note, because it was not payable at a time certain, and it was not such a duebill as the law regards as in effect a promissory note for the same reason. It was made up of the following particulars: It acknowledged the amount specified, consisting of principal and interest, to be due to the plaintiff for four years and six months' services, and promised to pay him that sum, with interest, as soon as the crop could be sold, or the money could be raised from any other source.
No time having been specified within which the crop should be sold or the money raised otherwise, the law annexed as an incident that one or the other should be done within reasonable time, and that the sum admitted to be due should be paid accordingly. Payment was not conditional to the extent of depending wholly and finally upon the alternatives mentioned. The stipulations secured to the defendants a reasonable amount of time within which to procure in one mode or the other the means necessary to meet the liability. Upon the occurrence of either of the events named or the lapse of such time, the debt became due. It could not have been the intention of the parties that if the crop were destroyed, or from any other cause could never be sold, and the defendants could not procure the money from any other source, the debt should never be paid. Such a result would be a mockery of justice. The question of reasonable time, as the case was presented, was one to be determined by the court. When the suit was instituted more than five years had elapsed from the date of the instrument. This was much more than a reasonable time for the fulfilment of the undertaking of the defendants, and the plaintiff was entitled to recover.
The Circuit Court instructed the jury correctly, and the judgment is
AFFIRMED.

# Omniana/Volume 2/Brevity of the Greek and English compared

205. Brevity of the Greek and English compared.
An an instance of compression and ​brevity in narration, unattainable in any language but the Greek, the following distich was quoted:
Χρυσον ανηρ ευρων ελιπε βροχον᾽ αυταρ ὁ χρυσον Ον λἱπεν, ουκ ευρων, ηφεν ον ευρε βροχον.
This was denied by one of the company, who instantly rendered the lines in English, contending with reason that the indefinite article in English, together with the pronoun "his," &c. should be considered as one word with the noun following, and more than counterbalanced by the greater number of syllables in the Greek words, the terminations of which are in truth only little words glued on to them. The English distich follows, and the reader will recollect that it is a mere trial of comparative brevity, wit and poetry quite out of the question.
Jack finding gold left a rope on the ground;
Bill missing his gold used the rope, which he found.
# Omniana/Volume 2/Amphibious Fish

195. Amphibious Fish.
Among the number of odd things in New Holland, the amphibious fish is not the least remarkable. "We found (says Captain Cook) a small fish of a singular kind; it was about the size of a minnow, and had two very strong breast fins; we found it in places that were quite dry, where we supposed it might have been left by the tide, but it did not seem to have become languid by the want of water; for upon our approach it leaped away, by the help of the breast fins, as nimbly as a frog; neither indeed did it seem to prefer water to land; for when we found it in the water, it frequently leaped out and pursued its way upon dry ground; we also observed that when it was in places where small stones were standing upon the surface of the water at a little distance from each other, it chose ​rather to leap from stone to stone, than to pass through the water; and we saw several of them pass entirely over puddles in this manner, till they came to dry ground and then leap away."
Cooks first Voyage, B. 3. Ch. 2.
This probably explains a fact mentioned by Capt. Percival in his account of Ceylon. "One circumstance (says that author) has often struck me with astonishment, that in every pond or muddy pool casually supplied with rain water, or even only recently formed, and entirely unconnected with any other water, swarms of fishes are continually found. The only explanation (he adds) which it appears possible to give of this phenomenon is, that the spawn is by some unknown process carried up with the rain into the sky and then let down with it upon the earth in a condition immediately to become alive."P. 318.
These fish may be of the same kind as those which Captain Cook observed in ​New Holland,. . a much more easy solution of the apparent wonder than Captain Percival's hypothesis. Yet I have been assured that small fish have been found in India, after a shower, upon the roof of a house. The thing was affirmed so positively that it could not be disbelieved without rejecting the direct testimony of one whose veracity there was every reason for believing; it certainly appears impossible, nevertheless it ought to be mentioned in justice to Captain Percival's opinion. The stories which are to be found also of its raining frogs, might have been quoted by that author as cases in point.
# Omniana/Volume 2/Anglesea Beef

194. Anglesea Beef.
Anglesea Beef was more famous formerly than Welsh mutton is at present. "The flesh (says Harrison) of such cattle as is bred there, whereof we have store yearly brought unto Cole fair in Essex, is most delicate by reason of their excellent pasture, and so much was it esteemed by the Romans in time past, that Columella did not only commend and prefer them before those of Liguria, but the Emperors themselves, being near hand also, caused their provision to be made for nete out of Anglesea to feed upon at ​their own tables, as the most excellent beef." Holinshed, Vol. 1. P. 64.
# Omniana/Volume 2/Aliquid ex Nihilo

179. Aliquid ex Nihilo.
In answer to the Nihil e nihilo of the atheists, and their near relations, the ​Anima-mundi men, a humourist pointed to a white blank in a rude wood-cut, which very ingeniously served for the head of hair in one of the figures.
# Omniana/Volume 2/Anguinum

217. Anguinum.
Thunberg speaks of a mountain, or rather a large single rock in the Cape Colony called Slangenkop, which signifies Serpent's Head. On one side of it is a large and deep crevice, which makes this rock remarkable, for every autumn almost all the serpents of the neighbourhood creep into it and assemble together, in order to remain there secure and unmolested during their torpid state. Towards summer, when the heat begins to set in, serpents of many different kinds, and frequently coiled up together in large knots, are seen coming out from this hole, who spread themselves afterwards over the country, and finding proper food soon recover the flesh which they have lost during their retreat.
This mention of their being coiled together in large knots reminds me of Pliny, and the fable which the Druids grafted upon this as yet unexplained habit of the serpent, for that it is a ​habit seems to be proved by the foregoing passage, and by the following extract from one of our newspapers, of the year 1810.
"Friday last, some boys at play near the Hoop public house, on Hampstead Heath, discovered a number of large adders wreathed together in a knot, and basking in the sun shine under a hedge. The boys attacked them with stones, and the reptiles quickly disentwined themselves, and made battle for some time, by hissing at their assailants; one, more bold than the rest, advanced towards one of the boys, who fortunately killed it with a stone; it measured above four feet in length, and had several frogs in its belly."
# Omniana/Volume 2/Alva

193. Alva.
There was a report that the Sun stood still at the battle of Wittemburg. The King of France asked Alva, who commanded the victorious army, whether it were true: his answer was. Sir, I had too much to do upon earth, to have any leisure for looking at heaven.
Vieyra. Serm. T. 5. P. 135.
