A Curious CASE Mr.. McLosky, gem
tleman worth some $3.50 900, dying in Paris
left $4,000 to niece in Dubuque, Iowa. The
niece or legatee died on the same dsy AS the
testator If the hour of her death preceded
his, the legacy lapsed; if it succeeded his,
the legacy is vested in her. The time of
, their deeease was so nearly identical that it
is supposed it will have to be determined by
the difference between solar and true time,
the legacy thereby depending upon a ques-
ton Of longitude.
