Mr. David Dudley Field in a recent adj
dress on law and lawyers, made some very
pertinent remarks on the useless verbiage that
usually charaCterZes deeds and other docu-

more than 900 words are used in deed,
where 200 would answer an purposes. OF this
vclbosity Mr.. Field says: They begct and
confirm our dreadful habits of vcrbosity
they make the young lawyers think that these
words and phrases mean something and thus
teach falschood they lead the minds of old and

Much interest has been excited among en-
gineers by the construction, under the direc-
ton Of the Russian government, of some
locomotive cars of a special type for the
Transcaspian railway, and built so as to meet
two difficulties, viz, the waterless character
of a large section of the line, and the in
significant ordinary traffic. To meet the
former the locomotive car is provided with
tanks containing sufficient water to last
seventy miles; and, as the waterless stretch
from Mchaelovsk to kazantchik is about
fifty miles in length, this supply is amply
sufficient under any contingencies that may
occur. With regard to the second difficulty.
the locomotive is constructed with a car con-
nected to it and capable of conveying eighty
passengers. The locomotive car is warmed
by the exhaust steam from the engine, 10y

Origin of Fruit Canning,

1t is singular fact that we are indebted to
Pompei for the great industry Of canning
fruit. Years ago, when the excavations were
just beginning, a party of Cincinnatians
found in what had been the pantry of a
house many jars of preserved figs. One was
opened and they were found to be fresh and
good Investigations showed that the figs
had been put into jars in q heated state, an
aperture left for the steam TO escape, and
then sealed with wax. The hint was taken,
and the next year canning fruit was intro
duced into the United States, the process
being identical with that in vogue in Pompeii
twenty centuries ago. The old ladies in
Amerca who can tomatoes and peaches do
not realize that they are indebted for this
art to a people who persisted nearly 1900
years aso.
