Prof Carl Vogt Of Germany, the
well-known scientist tells the follow
ing amusing story anent discussion
of the question whether proofreader
should have knowledge of tho contents
of an article that passes through his
hands, when Edward Desor and my
self were working with Agassiz at
Neuenburg my friend Desor was
charged with describing certain fossil
fish after the latter's notes. Desor
used to dictate these descriptions to
young man who pretended to know all
about it. while Desor oounseled him 20
consider himself merely an unconscious
tool To sound the knowledge of his
clerk my colleague one day. under my
connivance dictated to his secretary
the most absurd nonsense by interlac-
ing the description of some fossil fish
with the particular statement This
remarkable specimen differs from all
others in the abnormal fact OF having
its head in the same spot where the
others tails are found. The clerk
took everything down as it came from
the lips of my collaboration without re-
beling. Desor, accidentally being
called away. forgot his trick and the
manuscript went to the printing Office
The proof was read by DIR. g., who had
expressly been appointed to this post
by Agassiz, and besides intrusCed with
the compilation OF this .Nomenclator.
Desor and myself read the second
proofs; so did Agassiz, who placed his
imprimatur upon them, but none of us
four took notice of the nonsense it
contained. The whole was printed,
and only then. when the series was
about to be sent to the subscribers, my
friend Desor remembered the trick he
had played on his amanuensis. A
special card had to be inserted in place
of the Objectionable passage. The con-
clusion may easily be drawn-four
proofreaders had read the article with
out consciously taking knowledge Of
its contents"

supplemental Opinion in the BIewett-
Front Street Road Case.

Judge Hanford has handed down a supple-
mental opinion III the case of Edward Blewett
vs.. the Front Street Cable Railway COMPANY re-
Gently decided in the United States circuit court
for the northern division OF the district of
Warrington. This supplemental opinion is In
relation TO allowing interest upon the Judgment
while the action was pending in the courts. The
judges opinion, in which he denies the prayer
OF the plaintiff for interest, is as follows:
United States Circuit Court, District of Wash
ihgton, northern Division.-Edward Blewett
HANFoRD, j.
Ia his complaint the plaintiff prays for inter-
est on the full amount OF the penalty of the
bond IN SUIT IRON the time of the breach of the
condition, and his counsel now earnestly con-
tenus Tor an allowance of such interest from the
dale OF the commencement OF the action
as further damages for the wrongful with
holding of'the money pending the litigation
But 1t is my opinion that SIS 600 is the limit of
the damages which he can recover There are
TWO reasons for this. First-That is the sum
nxed by the contract as the utmost liability of
the defendant. The amount OF the actual liza
olilty has not been fixed or agreed to by the
parties, and could not be known until il was
sscertained and adjudged by the court Prior
10 judgment there Is no partiular sum due
which the defendant can be charged with hav-
ing wrongfully withheld. Second-The value
oil the property which the plaintiff has parted
with Is IN this case the measure of damages |
nave q right 10 infer from facts in evidence and
because the contrary is not alleged. that the
property is unimproved and yielding no in
come; therefore, by awarding him the full
salue oil the property with interest from the
date OF the judgment, ample justice is done to
the plaintiff for he is thereby fully compensated
for his actual loss.
