Judge wallace's Reason.

New YORK, April 30.-Judge Wallace
says that in granting the Kemmler
habeas corpus writ he upheld views of
counsel making the application, that
inasmuch as the case was one of life
and death the question involved should
be passed upon by the highest tribunal
in the land The question as to tho
validity of the delegation of power to a
sheriff to fix the time and circumstances
of the death of condemned man, was
a serious one.
The Judge intimated that the restric-
tion OF the liberty of the press was also a
question to be considered, but he did not
say positively that this was one OF the
reasons for granting the writ The
question of the cruelty or unusual nat
ure of the punishment would be con-
sidered by the Supreme Court. There
were other questions involved, but the
Judge did not care to extend the inter-
view which was granted at very late
hour,

Phenomenal Ram falls.

From the American Notes and Queries.
In studying the precipitation of the
United States, | find the following ex-
cessive rainfalls within the past five
years, concerning which / do not recol-
lect having seen any figures given in
the usual news columns. During the
disastrous storm that eliminated in the
destruction of Johnstown, depth of
rain aggregating 6.2 inches fell upon the
drainage basin of Conemaugh River in
thirty-two hours; at Grampian Hills
Station 8.4 inches fell in the same length
of time. During the storm of
February, 1886, a depth of five inches
fell in one day upon the Southern New
England states, and depth of seven
inches in an area of more than 1,500
square miles. In May, 1890, 80 inches
fell at McCauseland, Ia, in one hour; at
Galveston, Tex, June IA, 1871, 1856 inch
es fell in fourteen minutes; at ST. Louis,
5.15 inches fell in one hour, and at Tria-
delphia, w. Va, July 8, 1888, SO inches
were precipitated in fifty-fve minutes;
at Mayport, Fla, 1877 inches fell in
twenty-fo hours; at Upper Maypole,
Col, ST. inches fell IN five days, and at
Alexandria, La, 21.4 inches fell in one
day. This, the most copious downpour
that has ever been recorded in the
United States, has been surpassed, how
ever, in India, where, in Purneah, 35
inches were recorded in an equal inter
val of time

pose until he has beaten around the

The lover of onions seated himself,

OF Interest to Masons.
From the St. Louis Republic.

from the st. Louis Republic.
The order of Free Masonry is said to
have been established by Solomon at
the time of building his temple. The
order has been derived from many
sources, but not till 1717 did the second
stage Of its history begin in London,
which is, in fact, the home of Masonry
as now taught The first lodge in the
United States was organized in 1929 and
was then under the Jurisdiction of the
Grand Lodge of England. The emblem
of the order in ;aost common use is the
square and the compass worn by the
Blue Lodge. Besides that there are
several designs worn by more advanced
members, among them the keystone
for the chapter degree and Maltese
cross for the commandery. There are
also hundreds of men entitled to wear
the consistory, or thirty second degree
badge. The general design of this en-
blem is cross on which rests a
crowned double-headed eagle with the
figures 1927 on a smooth triangle on the
breast.
