CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

The danger OF relying too strongly on
circumstautial evidence in murder trials
was forcibly illustrated recently in the
case of Miss Journeaux of the island of
Jersey. This lady, it will be remem-
bored, went out for short row with n
male companion named Farne, and after
they had rowcd some distance he lost
his oars overheard and leaped into the
water to regain them. He could not get
back to the boat, as the tide was running
rapidly and Miss Journeaux soon lost
sight Of him. though he managed to
reach the shore. This was on Sunday
night and the poor girl drifted help
lessly about in the frail bark until Tues
day morning. when she was picked up
by French fishing vessel of st. Malo.
She was kindly treated by the captain
and crew, and landed, after a voyage
OF twenty-six DAYS on the shore of
st. Georges Bay, Newfoundland, from
whence she was sent to st. Johns to
wait for vessel bound TO France. In
the meanwhile Farne was arrested for
murder and imprisoned, and was not set
at liberty until a telegram arrived an
nouncing the safety Of his former boat
ing companion.
How different matters might have
turned out il Miss Journeaux had been
lost ut sen He might have been hung for
acrime which he never committed, and all
his protestatious of innocence would
have been regarded as the wild pleadings
Of man who desired TO escape the lust
penalty Of his mis,leeds. No power on
earth could probably have saved him.
and he would have gone down to poster
ity with the brand of Cain upon his
brow. Only the interposition Of Divine
Providence seems 10 ln,ve saved his neck
from the halter. Tho opponents of cap
ital punishment will fiud strong argu-
ment in this case for the abolishment of
the death penalty.

Marian's face was sufficient answer TO
Franks eager questions but the brown
eyes met his own fearlessly and frankly.

"And did you doubt me, Marian2"
"Hester told me to trust you, Frank.
and did trust you fully. Had you

The horses stopped before the little
cottage as she spoke, and her lovers
only reply was look Of loving gratitude.
Minnie stood at the door waiting for
them, and Marian gave her o warm,
sisterly embrace, thinking her face one
of the loveliest she had ever seen, and
wondering little how Franks love
could ever have strayed away from his
own home.

THE INVENTOR OF VALVE MOTION.

n The invention of the valve TO O steam
engine was made by mere boy. New.
oomen's engine was in very incomplete
condition, from the fact there was no
way to open and close the valve except
by means or levers operated by hand.
He set up largo engine at one of the
mines and o boy Humphrey Potter)
was hired to work these levers. Although
this is not hard work. yet it required his
constant attention. AS he was working
the levers he saw that parts of the
engine moved in the right direction and
at the same time he had to open and
close the valves. He procured strong
cord. and made one end fast to the
proper part OF the engine and the other
end TO the valve-lever, and the boy had
the satisfaction of seeing the engine
move with perfect regularity of motion.
A short time after 'the foreman came
around. and saw the boy playing marbles
at the door Looking at the engine, he
saw the ingenuity Of the boy, and also
the advantage of his invention. The
idea suggested by the boys inventive
genius was put in practical form and

A MARVELLOUS STREAM.


t'At a distance Of thirty miles south Of
the river Diamante our route passed
through natural object Of considerable
interests stream, or rather rill, of
yellowish white fluid, like petroleum,
issuing from the mountain side at
considerable height, and trickling down
the slope till lost in the porous soil OF
the valley below. The source from
which it flowed was at the Junction
where q hard, metaphoric rock, inters
spersed with small crystals OF agnite,
overlay q stratum Of volcanic stuff. 1t
was formed like the crater of volcano,
and full of bleak, bituminous matter,
hot and sticky, which could be stirred
up to the depth of about eighteen
inches. G
Floundering in it was q polecnt or
skunk, having been enticed to its fate
by the desire of securing bird caught
in the natural bird lime, till bullet
from the revolver of one of the party
terminated the skunk's struggles to
extricOte itself from the warm and adhe-
sive bath in which it was hopelessly
held captive. ;
The overflow from this fountain was,
as described, like q stream of petroleum
two or three feet wide, triclSling over
bed of pitch or some such substance.
which extended to much greater width
along the edge of the running stream at
its contact with it. This material was
of very sticky nature, becoming gradu-
ally harder as it spread further out
assuming the appearance OF asphalt
when it became mingled with the loose
sand of the adjoining soil.
While engaged in examining this
natural curiosity, we came upon two
small birds caught in the sticky SUBJ
stance at the edge of the stream. They
were still alive, but upon releasing
them both the feathers and the skin
came off where they had come in con-
tact with the bituminous matter, 80 that
we had TO kill them to put an end to
their sufferings No doubt they were
taken in by the appearance of water
which the stream presented, and had
alighted to drink. Their late suggested
the idea that, in district so devoid OF
water, others of the fcathered tribes
must constantly become victims to the
same delusion in similar manner. and
upon close inspection OF the margin of
the stream, the correctness OF this infer
ence was established by the discovery OF
humorous skeletons of tho birds
embodied in it; nor were those of
small quadrupeds unrepresented among
