According to the French astrono

According to the French astronomer, the cooling of the terrestrial crust ap parently goes on more rapidly under the sea than with land surface. From this he argues that the crust must thicken under oceans at much more rapid rate, so as to give rise to swelling up and distortion of the thinner portions of the crust that is forming mountain chains.

FrauIs on Farmers.

The frequent frauds praetieed upon
farmers have been made the subject of a
bulletin mo. 26) issued by the Bureau of
Industries, Canada. In this useful little
pamphlet may be found partial list of the
many schemes set down ON foot by swind-
lers to rob the farmers, all of which are as
common on this side of the border as on
the other. Some of these schemes are
mentioned that farmers may be on their
guard and learn to be suspicious of every
stranger who comes of his own will across
them.
Among the articles reported as having
been used in fraudulent transactions are
churns, washing machines, pumps, harness,
sickle grinders, stovepipe, shelves, land
rollers, plows, barbed wire, lightning rods,
hay forks, weigh scales, roofing paint,
pianos, sewing machines. fruit trees, &C.,
as well as various kinds of patent rights.
Brief descriptions of the most widely prac-
ticed of these swindles are given in the
pamphlet mentioned, and they may be
taken as samples of the whole.
The most plausible of these is inducing a
farmer to become local agent for the sale
of tools, implements, &C., and contract is
offered for signature in the form below:

fore the audience with a white ribbon
pinned to the lapel of his coat and said
that he was a member Of the w. c. T. IT,.

comprising the organization, and then
they, the audience, laughed and heartily
cheered the good looking Doctor. Another

Con.tables, Takc Not,ee.

vice-Chancellor Pitney has just filed an
opinion that may be of some interest to
constables. A constable held an execution
issued out of Justices court, against a
corporation that was subsequently declared
insolvent. The constable went to the fac
tory of the defendant and attempted to levy
upon the goods of the defendant. He
found the place locked up, but without
attempting to force an entrance the consta-
BILE looked through a broken glass and
made an incomplete inventory of the goods
in the factory. The Vice Chancellor holds
that the attempt to make levy was fall
ure, and created no lein upon the goods as
against the official receiver of this court.
He further holds that in the absence Of a
voluntary acceptance by defendant in
execution of the position of bailee to the
sheriff or constable holding the writ Of the
goods proposed to be levied on, there can
be no valid levy unless the officer shall
take actual possession of the goods or as
sert such dominion over them as will make
him trespasser in the absence ofthe writ.
A writ of execution from Justices court
does not bind the goods of the defendant
until an actual or constructive levy be
made. A bare inventory without levy is
insufficient to bind the goods.
