That was an extraordinary scene IN the
Surrogate's Court yesterday, when Judge Black
and Scott Lord were threatened by the Sur
rogate with punishment for contempt OF Court
for merely Offering certain testimony before
rejected in another shape. The evidence
offered was of kind which every de-
cent person will be glad that we are not to
hear, for it promised to be the foulest feast OF
scandal the courts had ever spread IN TINS
city, but that consideration will not wholly
smother the question so many will ASK
whether the Surrogate did not speak alto
gether too quickly. Certainly the Surrogate
himself came to that conclusion, for he ruled
out the testimony without ordering the dis
tinguished counsel off to jail

Max Siegle. a burglar, escaped from
Jail at Mifflinton, Penn. He was con-
fined in the northeast corner OF the Jail.
A stone chimney passes through the
southeast corner of the room named.
When the Jail was built two-inch pine
planks were placed against the chimney
lengthwise, from floor to ceiling, and
lathed and plastered over.
With penknife the prisoner cut away
the plastering, lath and plank. The
material from the opening he concealed
in paper -four bag that was in the room
Under the pretense of a desire to paper
his cell with newspapers, he had OBJ
tanned paste; the paste he used TO con-
ceal the hole that he was working through
the wall, which he did by FASTING paper
over itin the daytime. When he reached
the stone chimney he worked a number
of stones out of it, all of which he con-
cealed in his bed
When the opening was large enough
toadmit him TO the chimney, he tied bed
cover to stick, put the stick across the
hole, on the inside of the room, and
dropped the other end of the cover down
the chimney, and then slid down the
rope thus provided TO the room below.
where the chimney opens into a FIRE
place. The key was in the room door
that led TO the outside of the Jail TO

door and walked, and has not been heard

California Climates.

California has quite a number Of dis
tinct and separate climates. The sea
coast that has a northwestern exposure
has climate Of its own, and il is cool.
with vigorous winds. But every curve
or inlet that breaks the prevailing winds
produces a special climate, and there
differ from each other according 10 the
degrees of protection afforded.
The Coast Range mountains break the
prevailing winds and produce another
series of special climates. Some of these
are purely tropical and others within a
few miles have distinctly marked seasons.
The same may be said of places pro-
footed from the north winds by the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. And there
are places in the Sierras within ten miles
of each other where the climates are en-
tirely different.
In some OF these fruit and vegetables
can be raised, while within ten miles the
effort to produce these results fails
Even in the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys where there is quite a uniform
ity in climate, noticeable differences are
produced by trees, and other methods
of defense against the prevailing winds.
Eastern readers will see from these facts
that general description Of the climate
- h,' - an III POooipilty. lneIe
are at least five hundred special climates
in the State more or less distinct, and
each has its own special merits.
Nevertheless there are general char
acteristics common TO the whole State.
For example, it may be said that severe
winters are unknown except in attitudes
above five thousand feet. Even where
heavy snowfa'ls occur the cold is not as
intense as in Ohio and Kentucky. On
the other hand great heat, such as is
often felt in Ohio and as far north As
Canada, is unknown even in the great
valleys except for very short time.
1t may also be said of the climate of
the entire State that il is favorable to
all kinds of husbandry. Beyond these
few congratulations it is difficult to
speak with any degree of accuracy.
