A correspondent tells ut greater length
than we have space for the story of I'm at
tempted fraud which was exploded by
chemistry. An emery wheel guaranteed
to stand 600 revolutions was run at the
speed OF 1000 revolutions, and burst. do
ing Large amount of damage. A suit to
recover was instituted. based on letter
written by the seller of the Wheel in which
the strength Of the wheel was rated ut
l,6OO revolutions. While in the Office of
the prosecutor, endeavoring to effect set
tiement. the defendant observed that a GER
tain make of ink was used, and he learned
by casual inquiry that the same ink was
used exclusively by the prosecutor. The
defendant had tor several years used an
other ink. Taking samples of the two
inks to chemist, he was able, after analy-
sis. to secure solvent which would not
affect the other. The case came to trial.
Evidence was taken as to the kind of ink
each party employed. Then the chemist
was called. and in the presence OF the jury
applied the solvent, which removed the
interpolated Il" and left the rest Of the
writing untouched. The proof of the
forgery was sufficient, and the case was
dismissed, leaving the dishonest prosecr.
tor to defend himself from a criminal
charge.

He enlarged upon the iniquities of the squir-
rel and the necessity for punishment, and
he had covered the whole ground.
But Daniel rose. his young face lighted with
enthusiasm, and his young heart full of
pity for the helpless creature whose lift. he
was to plead for. Boy as he was he pour
ell out such flood eloquent speech on
the beauty and worth Of life, even to
squirrel. on the great wrong Of imprison-
ment for an unconscious ofiense, and the
charms of freedom. that when he sat down
his hearers wiped the tears from their eyes.
The prosecutor was the first to deliver the
little prisoner, and Daniel and Ezekiel set

That was pretty bright thought of one
of the Battersons, who when employed

the bank at which it was payable. the lad
presented the check, only to be told, Not

retort. "Seven dollars,'' said the teller. 1t
