The beautiful legend comes to us
from Memphis that one OF the mem
bers Of the legislature committed in
cest Ave or six years ago, and is there
fore ineligible. 1t is a singular state
of society where a man commits incest
and il was not discovered while be
was running for the legislature, but
was Immediately palpable the day af-
terward. 1t seems that this incest
consisted in marryingh his wife'sgrand-
daughter by another husband but
there is Jacksonian precedent for this.
The last husband of Mrs. Eaton, the
flvorite lady Of General jackson, and
wife of his cabinet minister, married
her daughter while mother and daugh-
Ter we're both living. Our friend, Jas
Parton, the historian, married his
wife's own daughter, but he still is an
epfranchised man, and the legislature
Of Massachusetts, came near passing
law to e%xonerate him.

The meeting Of tho school board
last night was to consider a complaint
made by a number of citizens in the
southern part Of the city, regarding
the withdrawal of thirteen pupils from
the Peabody school, together with
their teacher, and the sending of the
same to the Linden street school by
Superintendent Collier. This, it was
claimed, deprived certain citizens Of
the benefit of a public school, and
others have to send their children
nearly two miles to the Linden street
school. The citizens sent a petition
to the board on the subject, which
was Withdrawn during the session.
A motion to employ an additional
teacher in the Peabody school and
remand it to its former status was lost
on a vote of l2 to 3. The board after
wards adjourned without further
action.

Some Facts About Australia.

Australia, with Tasmania, is only a
little less in area than Europe. The
hottest climate in the world probably
occurs in the desert interior of Austria
liza. Capt. Stuart hung thermometer
on tree shaded both from sun and
wind. It was graduated to 1877 deg.
F., yet so great was the heat of the air
that the mercury rose till it burst the
tube, and the temperature must have
been at least 1913 deg, F., apparently the
highest ever recorded in any part of
world. For three months Capt. Stuart
found the mean temperature to be over
101 deg. F. in the shade. Nevertheless
on the southern mountains and table
lands three feet of snow sometimes falls
in d day. Snow-storms have been
known to last three weeks, the snow ly-
ing from four to fifteen feet in depth
and burying the cattle. Australia is
land of drought and food. The annual
rainfall at Sydney has varied from
twenty-five to eighty-two inches. Lake
George, near GouIburn, was, in 1924,
twenty miles long and eight miles
broad. It gradually shrank till, in 1887,
it became quite dry, and its bottom was
converted into grassy plain. In 1865
it was lake again, seventeen feet deep;
two years later it was only two feet
deep, and III 1876 it was twenty feet in
depth.

A Man Whose Feelings We're Frost
bitten.

The spectacle of d man, in somber
black, astride the hydrant in the clear
moonlight, at O'Clock in the morning,
writes Hewitt, of the Providence Jour
mol, is one calculated to attract the at
tention of police officer, who, at this
hour, is keenly sensitive to any sight
and sound. So the policeman went to
him, raised his bowed head from his
breast, and asked him what was the
matter Frost" he replied, "too sud
den (hic) frost. It's killed the tobacco
crop. Now, ] don't smoke nor chew
myself, but / have host of friends

Mr.. Robert Packer, while travelling in
Nebraska, had conversed with his wife
and friends at his home at Sayre, Pa,
by means of telephone, though a dis

modified by the Scientific american:
We now learn, on good authority, that
though Mr.. Packers friends received
his communication by telephone, it was
not sent by Mr.. Packer. The message
was sent from Nebraska to Mauch
Chunk, Pa, by telegraph; thence it was
telegraphed to the Sayre Office of the
Pennsylvania Canal and Railroad Com
