A London correspondent of the New
York Times writes the following anec-
dote of Sir Daniel Macrae, the veter-
an President of the Royal Scottish
Academy:
81 sAfter dinner, in a snug corner, we
were talking of the Scottish Sabbath.
The Secretary of the Academy, remark
ed Sir Daniel, said rather good thing
to me. l did not get his notice of warm
ishing-day until Saturday. and as l had to
be here by Monday, l had to break the
Sabbath. I was just calling him over
the Goals for it, when he answered me:
"You need not have broken the Sabbath;
if you had started on Saturday night,
you'd have been travelling in England
on Sunday The point is q trife subtle,
but it is good satire, and 1 leave it where
it is. ~ met a Highlander said Sir
Daniel, who has settled the question OF
Sabbath breaking at q very fine point.
l was fishing on a Scotch loch with
party. Among our provisions was
ham. On Sunday l asked the inn
keeper to cut it in two, one-half for
boiling to carry with US, the other for
grilllng 10 eat indoors. jamie produced
a knife, but then bethought himself that
q knife would not cut through the bone.
"Have you got sswr "Aye," he re.
Piled, "but dinns ye kin It's the Sabbath

BRITISH HOAXES.

History Of the "Great Sea Serpent
Canara -EngeniOus. Hoax OH
Statesman -,
The London correspondent of the Shelf
field Daily Telegraph writes: The sea
serpent story was clumsily managed and
most people would have seen through 1t.
1t arose in this way: At Oban, some time
ago, there was an earthquake, or what
seemed to be one, and the event was des-
cribed by correspondent in letter I'D
dressed to the editor OF a Glasgow news
paper. The editor was incredulous about
the earthquake, and said so freely. AT
this incredulity the local correspondent,
conceiving that his character for truth.
fulness was at stake, was very indignant.
However he concealed his wrath until q
fitting occasion presented itself. In due
time he invented the sea serpent, with
most minute details and incidents. This
description he addressed to the Glasgow
psper which swallowed greedily the tc.
ton while it had thrown doubt upon the
fact. When the local correspondent had
achieved his feat, and everybody was
laughing at the Glasgow paper, he sat
down and wrote a cool letter, in which
be said that the body of the sea serpent
had been opened, and the only article 1t
contained was copy of the Glasgow
newspaper which had the editors COM
piiments throwing doubt upon the story
of the earthquake. This indcgestible
paragraph had killed the animal.
A much cleverer hoax was that played
on Sir Erskine May. Some time ago ne
received and official letter, or what look
ed like ore, purporting to come from the
authorities at Constrntinople, desiring to
know whether he would be prepared to
undertake the task of framing prelis-
mentary scheme tor Turkey upon the
British model. Sir Erskine, as you know
is the author of an elaborate work on the
"Prsc,ice and Procedure OF Parliament
II therefore, seemed most fitting that ne
should be appealed to in such case
However as it was necessary that ne
should 90 to Constartinopls in order tc
cot the new scheme IN motion, 1t was al
so necessary that he should obtain per
MISSION from the Speaker and the Prime
Minister. These two high authorities
gave there permission readily, and Oil
Erskine ma de preparations tor his CO
psrture. but before starting lie went tt
the Turkish Embassy, where, perhaps he
should have gone first and there Learned
that he had been hosxed. There hac
been no request from Constantinople To-
his presence or spvice, and his good ma
ture had been played upon.

ROSE EYTINGE SUED.
Miss Jane Burnside's Rights "The
Mystery Of the BrOcken.''

Miss Jane Bufns1de'0 Hlxnts In "Ine
Mystery Of the BrOcken.'
Miss Jane Burnside says that more than
two years ago she purchased from the
author the copyright of story called
"The Wonderful Woman" with the sole
right of dramatizing it, Before having
utilized her dramstlzaton of it she was
taken sick and remained an invalid for
nearly t NO years. Soma time since she
was in Buffalo and there saw played 8
drama with the name of "katherine, or
the Mystery OF the Broken, which she at
once recognized as an adaptation OF the
story she had bought. She now brings
suit against Rose Ey,inge, who was star
ring in leading part land in some way
associates "Colonel Sellers" Raymond and
his wife as parties to the intringementl
to restrain her and Others from using the
piece without her consent. The case was
before Judge Barrett in Supreme Court,
Chambers, yesterday on motion for
temporary injunction. The hearing was
adjourned for one week. For the de-
fence it will be contended that the
adaptation IN which Rose Eylinge plays
was one made Independently of that
claimed by the plaintiff, and that the
plaintiff cannot urge any exclusive
right to put newspaper story into
dramatic form.

THE LAST MAN.
A Cool Calculation OF What His Fate
May He.

May he.
What will become Of the last man?
Various theories that have been serious
iy maintained by scientific men are de-
scribed in the Scientific american, and
we summarize them: l. The surface OF
the earth Is steadily diminished, elevated
regions are being lowered, and seas arc
filing up. The land will at last be
all submerged, and the last man will be
starved or drowned. 2. The ice is grsd-
ually sccumulating at the North Pole
and melting away at the South Pole, the
consequence of which will be an awful
catastrophe when the earth's centre Of
gravity suddenly changes. The last man
will then, be drowned by the rush of
waters. 8. The earth cannot always es-
cape of collision with comet, and when
the disaster comes there will be ming
ling of air and cemetary gas, causing an
explosion. 1.-THE last nam Is not sufto-
Gated he will be blown up. 4, There is
a retarding medium in space, causing a
gradual loss of velocity IN the planets,
and the earth, obeying the law OF CRAWL
tation, will get closer and closer to the
sun. The last man will be sunstruck.
8. The amount of water on the eartn Is
slowly diminishing, and simultaneously
the air is losing in quantity. Finally the
earth will be an arid waste, like the
moon. The last man will be sutfocated.
6. Other suns have disappeared, and
ours must, sooner or later, blaze up and
then disappear. The intense heat of tine
confagrstion will kill every living thing
on earth. The last man will be burned
up. Z. The suns fire will gradually
burn out, and the temperature will cool.
The earth's glacial zones will enlarge,
driving our race towards the equator,
until the habltsble space will lessen to
nothing. The last man will be frozen to
death. g. A gradual cooling of the
earth will produce enormous assures,
like those seen in the moon. The sur
face will become extremely unstable, un~
til the remnant of humanity will refuge
IN caves. The last man will be crushed
in his subterranean retreat. 9. The
earth will at last separate into small
fragments, leaving the people without
any foothold. The last man will have a
dreadful fall through space. 10. The
tenth theory, proving that there will be
no last MAJ at all, is thus expressed:
does not necessarily imply
progress, and possibly the race may nave
until the human being pos.
sesses the nature of the plant lousei such
being the case, this single inhabitant will
spontaneously produce posterity OF both
sexes"
