~ The suits against the county Of
Philadelphia for the destruction of St. Au-
gustlne's and ST. Michael's churches in
the riots of 1914 are likely to be settled
by the payment of the damages. The
county, under various pretences, resisted
the claim for damages, and had writ of
quo acarrdnto issued to try the validity of
the titles of the persons representing the
church. The case was decided against
the county in court below, and an APP
peal taken to the Supreme Court. The
county commits sioners have, however,
thought better of the matter, and ordered
the appeal 10 be dismissed. So it is likely
now that the chur"hes will be paid for

NIX. DESHONG.

The New York Courier cautions the
pubic against sending Mr. Deshong $40
for his printed rules for enumerating, and
dividing and sub-dividing figures. 1t SAYS
its editors had witnessed Mr.. d.. 5 powers
of reckoning, which were indeed remark
able; that he had promised to instruct
them IN the art; and gave them his rules /;
but they say: After as full and careful
an investigation as he enabled us to make,
we came TO the conclusion that they were
unsatisfactory and falacious; some of
them were false; others complicated and
none of them at all adequate to the re-
suits promised. Mr.. Deshong, so far as our
knowledge goes, and to the best OF our
belief, has no system of reckoning which
he can impa't to others, of any essential
utility
We wash our hands free Of having pub
lished Mr.. Deshong's letter inviting per-
sons to send him $40 and he would fur
niSh them with his rules of calculation
which would learn any person to calculate
as well as himselfin half an hour. With
our usual caution, we wished first to in
yestigate his system = and in doing SO,
found it full of rottenness.-Sci. Amer.
