TIE LAWS UNCERTAINTY.

'The law is sort of hocus .pocus
science" says an old play, and the giori-
GUS uncertainty OF it is OF msir use to the
professors than the justice of it" An incl
dent in the official life of Lord Chancellor
Eldon illustrates the truthfulness of the
dramatist's remark. He once referred a
case to three Courts below, in succession,
to decide what particular document was.
Not one of them agreed with either of the
other two as to the legal name of the docu-
ment. The Court of Kings Bench decided
it was lease in fee the Common Pleas,
that it was lease in tail ; the Exchequer,
that it was lease for years. When the
document came back to the Lord Chancel.
lor, he decided that it was no lease at all.
An anecdote, which an Irish Judge used
to tell with great glee, illustrates the laws
uncertainty when administered by attor-
neys, and its certainty when a plain man
decides the case on its merits. A suitor
complained to this Judge that he was
ruinated, and could go no further with
his case. "Then you had better, " said his
Honor, leave the case to be decided by
reference"
To be sure will, )" answered the man /;
" I've been now at law thirteen years, and
can't get on at all, at all Pm willing to
leave the case to one honest man or two
lawyers, whichever your Lordship pleases. F"
You had better toss up for that" said
the Judge, laughing.
Two attorneys were appointed, however.
and in years time they reported that
they could not agree. The matter was
then left to an honest farmer, and in a
week the parties came into Court and said
that. the plain, unprofessional referee had
settled the case to their satisfaction.

equator to the pole. The unit of bulk is
the liter it is the cube OF decimeter

of force is the kilogramme, being the force
required to raise one kilogramme weight
one meter high. The unit of electric re-
sistance is the ohm ; it is the resistance
which a current undergoes when passing
through a column of mercury one meter

a LoyE.SITTING DIsARRANGED.-Acer Ger.
tain young Gaysporter, who spends his
Saturday evenings at a farm house in the
Loop, was frightened out of year, growth
on last Saturday night. He was seated at
the big open kitchen fire watching the
sparks as they went up the chimney, the
while making love to his affinity. The fire
had burned low, and as the mercury was
at zero it became necessary to add fuel to
the embers, and the young mau-as he bad
often done before-went out to the wood.
pile and brought in billet of wood, which
was deposited where it would do the most
good. Il chanced to be hollow she'll, and
no sooner had the young man sat down
than rabbit that was in the log jumped
out. The first impression of both was that
a wildcat had come down the big chimney,
and concert of whoops followed that
alarmed the old folks, who flew to the res.
cue in their night caps. When the cause
of the alarm was discovered the old farmer
advised his prospective son law to join

UNsoLvED PROBLEMS. are two
problems, the attempts to solve which
have so far bafiied the efforts of mechani-
cal skill. These are perpetual motion and
navigation of the air. 1t is only dreamers
who now give any thoughts to perpetual
motion not so the navigation of the air.
Earnest minds are still engaged in the at
tempt to prove that the theory can be re-
duced to practice. Years of patient study
and the expenditure OF enormous sums of
money have failed to convince the present
generation that it will witness triumph
in either of the devices named. The public
is half disposed to believe that aerial navi-
CATION is attainable. That the principle
exists is demonstrated by the flight of
birds but the question arises, Who is to
give it successful application to machinery
A number of persevering toilers on the
project have, at different times, summoned
spectators to see and be convinced that
they had made the grand discovery.
Their machines would never, how
ever, ascend. The attraction of gravi.
tation was too much for them, and in.
stead Of cleaving the air majesticalIy.
they have made an inglorious descent to
the earth. There was some hitch detected
some obstacle to be overeome-and thus
it has been since inventive genius first as.
serted its ability to master the interposing
complications. But. we are informed, an
Englishmar named Lenfeld has got it at
last He has constructed flyer, with
which he expects to go through the air,
in any direction he pleases, at the rate of
sixty miles an hour. When he has accom-
plished this he will cross the ocean to pay
US visit in his remarkable machine. There
is no need of fretting or any anxiety about
his coming. A comet is just now visible
in the heavens. After taking it's depart
ure it will not return until the expiration
of seventy-one years. Those of our young
people who may be fortunate to survive SO
long are advised not to be astonished, if,
when it makes its appearance, perpetual
motion and air navigation still remain

porting that he could not be found. Not be-
ing satisfied with this result. Mr.. Spuhn
then dispatched the steamer Fsvorite, with
party of whites. to Point Gardiner. They
found Prior's tracks for about ten miles along
the beach, and then lost all track of them. If
Prior has not been picked up by some Indians

surely be lost, as the weather was very

REMARKABLE RUNS IN MEXICO. Some
remarkable ruins four miles southeast Of
Magdelena, Mexico, have of late attracted
a good deal of notice. One natural pyra-
mid has basis of 4, 800 square feet and an
elevation of $50. A winding roadway
leads by an easy grade from bottom to top.
This is wide enough for carriages, and
several miles long. In the sides of the
mountain, as one ascends, be passes hun.
dreds of chambers cut in the solid rock,
with walls, floor and ceiling hewn to an
even precision. These chambers vary in
size from five to ten, sixteen, and eighteen
feet square. There are no windows and
but one entrance, which is always from the
top. The hight of the ceiling is usually
eight feet. The walls are covered in places
with hieroglyphica and figures of men and
animals. Il is not improbable that they
are the remains OF ancient Zuni tribes.

which has steadily bafiled medical science,

He is now suffering the most acute agony,
and is visited by scores of physicians, who
in every case have been completely baffied.
By this peculiar freak of nature his body
becomes terribly contorted. Respiration
always ceases, and he becomes for the time
being unconscious, and on awakening
shows every evidence of having passed
through most terrible ordeal. On being
restored he becomes perfectly well, and is
only troubled at intervals of year, but
with positive regularity. The case can
only be accounted for by the fact that
Furgeson's mother, shortly before his birth,
saw the contortions and evidences of agony
in a snake which had been thrown into
fire, and that he has become thus birth
