AN EXPRESSION OF OPINION.
Barney Lynch Hears What Some People
Think Of Him.

Thursday, before Barney Lynch, Judge,
there came up case in which Mr.. T. Drouet
appeared as one of the counsel.
The style of examination of witness as
followed by MI. Drouet met with the disap-
proval of Barny, and after some little talk, he
ordered the witness to stand aside and the
witness left the stand.
Mr.. Drouet arose, it is supposed, to protest,
and Barney ordered him to take his seat,
which order Mr.. Drouet declined to obey,
claiming his right to stand when and where
he pleased, and at the same time asserting
that he was sick from rush Of blood to the
head. 81
,'.His Honor" then instructed the Sheriff to
sst the gentleman, and on the Sheriff pro-
ceeding to follow these Instructions Mr..
Drouet expressed his opinion of Barney,
calling him id scoundrel, s. of
q b., usurper, thief, ETC., and insisting
on the sheriff releasing him, SO that he could
give Lynch the chasisement which, in his
opinion, he merited.
The Judge boiled oyer and ravod, and sen
fenced the gentlemen to Imprisonment for ten
days, for contempt.
Judge Drouet swears vengeance, and fun
may be anticipated on his release. Il

AN Invention wanted, is an efficient
method of preventing crossing on telegraph
wires. We were recently in the manufac-
turing establishment of a wealthy firm
whose office is located down town several
miles from their works. The Office and the
mandatory have been connected with a
telegraph line. as is the custom with many
works similarly situated, remote from the
general Office in which sales, correspondence.
and financial transactions are conducted
We are told, however, that it was not in use
on account of the difficulty of keeping the
wire from crossing other wires between the
Office and the works. This difficulty exists
in great many cases in our large cities.
where almost every street has wires passing
over it. Some simple insulating device
which can be applied to the wires at the
points where they come in contact in cross
ing, and which could 'be easily applied.
could hardly fail of securing a large sale.

WHAT is MEANT BY HORSE PowER.-Tbe
power Of prime movers is measured by
horse power Watt found that the strong
est London draft horses were capable of do
ing work equivalent to raising SO 900 pounds
one foot high per minute, and he took this
as the unit Of power for the steam engine.
The horse is not usually capable of doing so
great quantity of work. Rankine gave
$4,000 pounds as the figure for mean
OF several experiments, and it is probable
that 25, ,000 pounds is fair minutes avera-
age work tor good animal. 1t would re-
TuIre five or six men to do the work Of a
strong horse. Watts estimate has become
by general consent among engineers, the
standard OF power measurement for all pur-
poses.

Low TO INSERT SCREWS IN PLASTER
NALLs.-The following note on this subject
was originally published by us, and has
lately been going the rounds of the press.
1t Is worth reproducing, for it is often desir-
able to insert screws in plastered walls with
out attaching them to any woodwork, but
when we turn them in, the plaster gives way
and our effort is vain. And yet a screw
may be inserted in plaster so as to hold
light pictures &c, very firmly The best
plan Is to enlarge the hole to about twice
the diameter of the screw, moiSten the
edges of the hole thoroughly with water,
and fill 1t with plaster of Paris, such as is
used for fastening the tops of lamps, &C..
ana bed the screw in the soft plaster.
" hen the plaster has set, the screw will be
held very strongly.

CONSUMING SMoKE.-Some interesting ex-
peiInents have lately been made with a
view to ascertaining the best method of con-
suming the smoke Of soft coal furnaces.
ana, alter careful examination and test of
a number of mechanical appliances designed
to effect this object, the conclusion was
reached that nothing is 50 simple and effec-
tive IN preventing the escape Of smoke as
the introduction of sufficient oxygen into
the furnace to effect complete combustion of
the fuel, and thus prevent the formation Of
any smoke at all. This effect can easily be
produced by the use of Il patent blower, which
takes bat little room. aud does good service.

SCIENTIFIC.

SCIENTIFIC MEN SCIENTIFICALLY STuDiED.
Mr.. Francis Galton, well known for his
researches in regard to hereditary mental
powers, has been pursuing these studies.
He made personal inquiries Of one hundred
and eighty leading scientific men of the day,
and on their replies based his conclusions.
Most important was the almost persistent
combination of remarkable energy OF body
with remarkable energy of the mind
Size of head was considered and as gener-
al rule, was larger than of ordinary gentle,
men. Still, remarkably many scientific
men had small heads, and the small heads
were remarkable for activity. Health was q
marked feature. Independence of spi, it
and tenacity of purpose were also most
marked characteristics of men of science,
and notably large proportion were men Of
business. a. principals of large commercial
or mercantile concerns. The great inceu-
tive to science seemed, to the author, to b,.
innate taste, and in character lie regarded
the scientific mind as ant-feminine. As t.
hereditary qualities, that Of health seemed
most essentially due TO parentage; and on
the parental side the influence of qualities
was apparently on the fathers side in the
proportion Of I2S to 45 on the mother :
side. \ combination Of all essential quail
ties seemed necessary to the production of a
man of mark, and that the laws of chances
and alternatives came in to give actuality to
results. In regard to education, the gener-
al condition seemed to be that they were not
tied down in their studies to particular sub
jcct~, bat were given to the investig igation of
many.
