ARCHERY IN HIsToRY.-A writer
in the London Standard says Arch
cry may be said never to have en-.
tirely gone out of fashion, even after
the introduction of "villainous salt
petre" and the musket. Edward VI.
was fond of the bow, and Charles I.
not only practiced it, but encouraged
its use among his subjects. Charles
III. and bis Queen patronized tourna-
ments of archers, aud as late as 1852,
q thousand bowmen competed at a
grand fete given by the London
Artillery Company. In Cromwell's
time the weapon was not entirely
banished from the army, and Charles
III. had bis Keeper of the Bows. At
Chester on Shroye Tuesday and
Easter Monday, the Archers shot for
prizes provided by the bridegrooms
of the past year; and at Harrow. we
believe, is still preserved the silver
arrow for which, up to the year TIL,
the boys shot annually on the 4th of
August, day associated in the
minds of their successor with oratori-
cal displays. Nor must it be forgot
ten that the Queens Body Guard in
Scotland are the Royal Archers,
who have always numbered in their
ranks the pick Of the Scottish aristOc-
tacy and citizens Of Edinburgh.

OF the results of the latest Arctic
Expedition, the London -AMenaeuna
says: Altogether Lieut.. Greedy and
his party carried out geographical
explorations over an area contained
within some forty degrees of latitude,
to a spot only 396 miles from the
Pole, which, for the present, is the
most northerly point reached by man.
1t may, of course, be doubted wheth-
err the lives OF nineteen men and the
excrdciating sufferings of the six sur
vivors are not too dear a price to pay
for such discoveries. This is, how
ever, piece of sympathetic casuistry
with which the sdUant has nothing to
do. Nor, it may be remarked, were
the lives of any of the party lost
whilst engaged in exploration. In.
deed, to the activity of mind anybody
necessitated by these journeys the
remarkable immunity from disease
and mortality which for two years
distinguished Lieut.. Greely's forlorn
hope above any of the costly expcdi-
tons which preceded him in the
same region was doubtless due.

Length Of Life.

To ascertain how long man should
live, the learned reason from analogy.
The duration of life with the horse, and
with other animals of the higher species
is prOportiOnate to the time expended in
their growth. Nj. Flour9ns has improv-
ed on the working out of this idea sug-
gested by Bsffon. All the larger ami
mails. he observes, live five times as long
as the time expended by them in reach :
ing maturity. Thus the camel grows
eight years and lives forty, the horse
grows FIVE years and lives twenty-five,
the OK four and lives from fifteen to
twenty, the dog two and lives ten to
twelve, the man twenty years and lives
to 100 or more. By physical analogy,
therefore, the ordinary life should be 100
years at least. DR.. Fare, Of London, in
his address to the Parliamentary Comm
tee on Drunkenness,gav 1t as his opinion
that "by the last grant of Providence to
man (Gen. 6, iii), his life is 100 years,
and that where disease arising from
other causes does not shorten it, the
reason why 80 few attain to that age ia
to be found in the excessive stimulation
to which the mass of the community is
continually subject.y

why His Attentions Ceo.ea

An excellent story Is told about a young
man whose attentions to young lady
became the subject of comment. She
was his companion in his daily rides and
apparently they both enjoyed the propin-
guilty. Suddenly the rides ceased, and
the young fellow was asked the reason.
He replied that she had called him a
jackass, and that he would not ask any
girl to ride with him after that. The
lady's friends were shocked and asked for
particulars. This was his explanation:
"YOu see. we have been so much together
that gave out In topics of conversation,
and when took her out last couldn't
think Of anytl lag but the weather, and
said Il believe it is going to rain; | felt
drop on my ear She looked at me and
carelessly said; That rain is half mile
off, Now, did not that mean was
jackass with long ears? have never
been near her since,"-LouisriHe Cour-

Thermometers.

The Fahrenheit thermOmetrical scale
was introduced in 1920. 1t has two fixed
points the freezing point, or rather the
melting point of ice, and the boiling
point of water. The Centigrads and
Reaumur scales call the freezing point
zero, and measure therefrom in both
directions. Fahrenheit kept the princi-
pie on which he graduated his thermom-
eters secret, and no one, says the Sci
entiic Monthly, has ever discovered it.
1t is supposed, however, that he consider
ed his zero-thirty-two degrees below
freezing-the point Of absolute cold or
absence of all heat, either because, being
about the temperature of melting salt
and snow, it was the greatest degree Of
cold hec0uld produce artificially, or be-
cause 1t was the lowest natural temper
allure Of which he could find any record.
fairgrounds on which Fahrenheit put
$50 degrees between the freezing and
boiling points are likewise unknown.

met in the state department to-day in pursu-
ance of the protocol concluded between
Secretary Freinghuisan and the Haytian
minister, for the purpose of hearing the
claims of two citizens OF the United States,
Antonio Pelletiar and A. H. Lagare, against
the government of Hayti The United States
was represented by Solicitor General Phillips
and the government Of Hayti represented by
ex Gov. Boutwell, and Marquis de Chambrun.
The case first taken up was that of Pelletiar,
a formal statement of whose claim was made
by his counsel. The claimant, as master of
the barque William, was, it is alleged, ille-
galy arrested at Fort Liberte in Hayti, in
March, 1861. tried upon the charge of piracy
and slave trading, and sentenced to be shot.
His sentence was afterward commuted TO
imprisonment of Eve years, hut his vessel
and cargo were condemned and coniiscated.
For this loss with accrued interest) and for
the sufferings and injuries which he ex-
perienced at the hands of the Haytien Off
cials, he claims 50, 1876, 900. After hearing a
statement of the case the commission ad-
journed to Wednesday, November 20, for the

The Richmond Insurance Cases Settled

WASHINGTON, Nov. l9-The supreme

cases brought by citizens of Virginia VS.. the
Mutual Assurance society of Virginia. to re-
cover the amount of certain fire insurance
policies issued by said company upon prop
erty in Richmond, Va, which was burned at
the time that city was captured by federal
troops in 1865. The insurance company re-
fused to pay on the ground that by the ex-
press terms of its policies it was not liable for
damages from fires caused by ''civil war.
commotion, instruction, or invasion of a
foreign enemy and that the fire in this case
was due to one or all of these causes. The
supreme court of appeals of Vir-
ginia rendered a decision in favor
of the company, on the ground the fire was
the result OF "the invasion of a foreign en-
emyn When the cases were appealed to
this court the question OF jurisdiction was
raised. The company maintaining that the
cases were not decided by the court below on
a federal question, and that consequently
this court was without jurisdiction to review
the decision, At the conclusion OF the argu-
ment to-day Chief Justice Waite announced
as the opinion OF the court that il had no iu-
risdiction in the cases, and must therefore
dismiss them, and il was so ordered. The
decision rendered in favor of the insurance
company by the supreme court of appeals of
Virginia now stands as a final settlement of
the question, and relieves underwriters in
Virginia and elsewhere from liability for a
great quantity of property destroyed by fire
in Richmond when that city was evacuated
by the confederate troops.
