WHO OWNS THE SIGN.
A Peculiar Legal Problem That Is tn
Talk of Georgia Town.

A Peculiar Legal Problem That Is the
Talk of q Georgia Town.
Here is the peculiar status of affairs
in Georgia town:
There is not great deal involved, but
the lawyers can't agree about it; in fact
of eight lawyers four are on one side
and four on the other. At the depot, at
the hotels, at every street corner, the
people of this town are discussing the
question. Every body is interested in
the outcome of the queer disagreement.
One man owned a hotel-the Hotel b.
He also owned $50 sign which was not
attached to the building, but swung
from support in a prominent position
near by. The owner sold the hotel to
another man, itemizing the property he
sold. The building was an item and it
was referred to as the Hotel Il, but the sign
was not mentioned. After the sale the
original owner thought Of the sign, and
considering it his own property he went
to the purchaser of the hotel and offered
to sell him the sign for $50. The pur-
chaser thought the sign his, but was not
certain about it. At any rate he re-
fused to pay for the sign. The original
owner took the sign and began negotia-
tons with third man who is about to
open hotel. II will sell you the sign, :"
said he, land the title. The Hotel b is
known all over the State, and you can
say the Ho.el B has moved over on this
side of the railroad; that will bring .
lot Of patronage to you. I'll sell you
title and sign for $50" But the man
with the new hotel, being cautious,
wanted time to get legal advice. Legal
advice failed to decide the question one
way or the other.
THE sign not being included in the
itemized accounts" the lawyers agree,
belongs to the original owner of the
hotel. The house, however, is called
Hotel B. and as the Hotel d this house
was sold. If the sign belongs to the
original owner of the hotel he can sell
it to whom he pleases-to the man with
the new hotel, Say. The man with the
new hotel, once in rightful possession
of the sign. can hang it up in front of
his new hotel. He can call his new
hotel The Hotel B, but the name was
clearly . consideration with the pur-
chaser of the hotel, and it was not antic-
ipated on either side that there should
be two Hotel B's.' Quite the contrary.
The name being q specific thing Of
value. can not belong to both parties"
And just at this point the lawyers be-
gan to differ. 1t can not belong to both
men, they say, but they can not agree
to whom It does belong.-Atlanta Gal
Letter.

THE LAWS OF FILMS.

Some Wonderful Scientific Facts Regard
ing SOap-Bubbles.
There is scarcely any thing in the
world which seems more utterly outside
the realm of law than soap-bubble.
The delicate film, with it's exquisite
floating colors, its power of instantly
vanishing, leaving no trace behind,
hardly seems as though it could form a
link in the memorable chain of cause
and effect which we call physical law.
The atmospheric pressure on bubble
six inches in diameter is over fifteen
hundred pounds, and yet the fragile
film lies safely between the opposing
forces of nature-the pressure of the
outer air, the spring of the inclosed
cushion within it. the downward pull Of
gravity, the upward push of the buoyant
atmosphere, and the molecular forces in
the film itself-so long as the bubble
lasts; it is because of an exquisite adj
justment of all the forces, physical and
molecular, concerned in its existence.
This is, of course, the merest COM
monplace. and yet it is one of the COM
monplaces of nature, which, however
we'll we may know them, never cease to
be wonderful when they are in any de-
gree realized. There are other laws
governing films which are no less WON
erfuL though they are fsmiliarly
known. A heap of bubbles blown
while the is pipe dipped under the sur
face of soapy water looks like chaotic
huddle of bubbles of all sizes and many
shapes; but, upon careful examination.
II is found that never more than three
Aims meet at an unsupported liquid
edge. and never more than four edges
meet at liquid point. and that the
angles are always equal; that is. films
will not meet each other at an unsup-
ported edge or point at an angle smaller
than 120 degrees-One-thirdo of . circle.
