The map d the world, as geograph-
trs have outlined It, shows that there
j. 8 vast preponde of lard north OF
The equator. Humboldt estimated that
Asia stands at an average height Of I, $50
!eet above the level Of the ocean; South
America, 1880; North America, 750;
europe, GO feet. The average height
# all the land above uniting
Africa and Australia, which are mostly
,outh of the equator-is about 900 feet.
The landed surface of the northern
hemisphere is about 100000 square
niles; that of the southern hemisphere
about 100000 to 100000 square
niles, leaving difference of, say 49,
voc, 900 square miles of land of an aver
lge height of 900 feet above sea-leveL
But as there is the same visible ex-
Tess of water on the southern side that
there is of land on the northern, and as
The depth of the seas is about the same,
It follows that the weight of the excess
IF submerged land in the northern hem
lsphere must be added to the 28,000,000
square miles, doubling the height of it,
making the landed surface of the north
ern at least 1,s40 feet above the average
surface of the southern hemisphere,
both it's continents and ocean depths.
What is there south of the equator to
balance this enormous weight? There
mus be something or the earth would
not maintain it's poise. If there was
nothing, water level in that region
WOULD be impossible.
Prof. Merriman believed that the bal
ancing weight might be found in that
100000 square miles of unexplored re-
gion lying within the Antarctic circle.
If it does exist there in the shape of ice,
rs all scientists believe it does, these
immense mountains of ice must neces-
sarily be Of an average of over two and
j. half miles to make the southern hem
Isphere equal in weight to the north

who, after the train passes, resumes his

train the roadway shall be carefully in

AccoIdiiiat q ii story chat comes from
atis says the Chicago News, q
wbman,s grave there was lately desc
grated by a gambler for the purpose Of
atting the forefnger Of the woman. as
aasssuaranty Of good luck.
~ never heard such a story before
said a well-known gambler. Cam
blers are superstitious, but not in this
way shat ! have ever heard Of. They
nave Z mortal fear of pennies and will
often throw them away, thinking that
the copper brings them bad luck. In
the game of faro bank coppers are gen
orally used, and pennies are considered
as omens Of evil if carried in the pocl-
cts.
II is just the same with old pocket
knives or anything that may be thought
1I1lucly. They would sooner fling half
their possessions into the river than
snn the chance OF losing game. It is
sometimes very amusing to see how
these superstitious notions prevail. but
suppose they are so well established
that they are taken quite seriously.
'"Then gam blers make q great deal Of
how they take their seats; at table and
whether they are accosted by anyone
while they are playing. If you put
your foot upon gamblers chair while
40 is playing he would call you a hoo
doc and probably black your eye for
you, as such thing is counted un-
lucky"
''He must have been negro" said
another gambler, on reading the dis
patch. ''1t was a pretty tough job to
undertake, even for gambler. l won
der how any man could do it, He was
= tough character, I'll bet.''
s'Tne man must have been crazy"
ehined in a third. ''Some gamblers
have their superstitions, but on The
whole they are pretty much like other
men. They don't, as rule, act IN such
an outrageous manner as this. I fancy

INDIAN RUNNERS.

They Are Employed in Mexico TO Garry
Mail Over the Mountains.
The Indian runners are familiar fig
ures in Mexico, says the San Francisco
Call. They are employed by the gov
eminent to carry the mails among the
Sierra Nevada mountains, aIld make
better time thar any animal that could
be employed. A runner will carry from
twenty to thirty pounds of mail and
never be delayed by washcuts or swof-
len streams. He is always on an easy
run that must carry him along six or
seven miles an hour at least. He is
nearly always dressed in white cotton
cloth, which makes him d conspicuous
fgure against the somber green and
black tints of the high mountain levels,
and which late in the evening causes
him 10 look like ghost or specte1'
fitting among the pines and frs and
rnoss-covered powders strewn along the
trail.
The trails, on the steep places, wind
backward and forward in stretches
from fifty to seventy-fve yards in
length, in order to find grade UP which
heavily laden pack mule can make
his way. But the athletic carries' does
not run the whole length of these wind
ngs in descending a hill. lie cuts off
the corners at each bend by placing his
hand on the edge of the trail and vault
ing to tire lower level whenever the two
levels are not more than six or seven
feet apart. All this time he never gives
up the little dog trot that is carrying
him forward SO rapidly and surely. The
carrier will in half an hour go down a
mountain side that would take the best
mule in bullion train or the feetest
one ridden by the little Mexican cabal
lero, the best rider in the world, half d
day to accomplish. In ascending, too,
the carrier has methods of taking
shorter cuts up sleeper inclines, so as to
gain time and distance at every instance.

About $751; i'll judgments stand against

ing Whiteman'from disposing of, or ex-
ercising any control over his property,

he had never had anything
to do directly or indirectly with the

JUDGE FLANDRAU's CLOSING.
He Claims That the Charges Had
Been Proven.

The court room was packed to over
flowing, and deputy sheriff had to be
stationed at the door to prevent others
from attempting to crowd in, when
Judge FIandrau began his closing adj
dress. The audience was comprised
largely of politicians and the repre-
SentativeS of the bar OF the Twin Cities.
The political as well as the legal sig
nIfcance was the one powerful magnet.
Defeat meant a world to IgnatiuS Don
nelly. and there were many who were
ready TO rejoice at seeing him crushed.
You have liste ned to my eloquent friend

also 10 my equally eloquent associate, Capt
Hart. There has been Il great dea said why

Olitans living. Thirty-five years ago sat on

The judge then spoke OF Donnelly
bringing the case into city prejudiced
against the Pioneer Press, but he hoped
the jury wouldn't lose its virtue and
honesty in letting Donnelly blind them
in this manner. The case" he con-
tinued, "has come TO that point where it
is no longer a case between the Pioneer
Press and Mr.. Donnelly, but one
of veracity between Mr.. Donuelly
and William S. King, of Mime
apolis, who is the very founder of
everything you have in this city. 1t is
question of who is telling the truth,
Mr.. King or this man Donnelly, who has
invaded every party, society and organ
iZation. This is libel case. There was
a time in the history of the English
courts when q man who knew of cor
ruption and bribery must keep his
mouth shut. There was time when

Donnelly. He has never done anything
bnt hold office AMI improved the Impor-
tunities of !. Donnelly. He had been
so poor he couldn't feed his family, yet
he had loaned Clark $500.
In his struggles for office. when he
couldn't get any more Offices, he started
the party of |. Donnelly. He has the
gall of a Bengal tiger" He called
everybody about the court room liars.
He was about the toughest proposition
for a man he had ever come across
in his whole experience. I'VE will
leave him there for a time"
The judge turned to William S. King,
and lauded him. "Why, gentlemen"
said he, THAT man couldn't lie."
Laughter. ''He has a heart In him as
big as one of the bulls he has brought
to Lyndale for the benefit Of the stock
of Hennepin county"
He explained the Canada matter I'M
der the belief that Cy would spring that
little affair against his record. He told
the history of the investigation in which
Bill King was called to testify. In some
other transaction Mr.. King had been
made the trustee of money to
give to the people who were not con-
nected with that other matter at
all. They heard of this matter and in
dicted him without evidence. He hur-
ried back TO Washington and insisted
upon trial. They puttered along and
finally admitted they hadn't Il particle
of evidence. He had stood staunch and
true for his friends, and like a grand
man he had said he would not testify
before them, and he did not.
He has told you that the fact of his
going to Canada was his ruin. There
was suspicion about it, and he has suf
fered since as martyr. Now they want
this other mans testimony 10 set him
down as a periurer. Look at the
facility with which he swears in
his own benefit. He has tried
to show that he lives in MIMI
ger. in modest way, letting his mighty
brain soar among cryptogramS, etc"
When he had gone to Washington, he
had sworn that he lived in Donnelly.
Without hesitation, he had sworn that
he lived in Donnelly. "a man who has
so free tongue, will you believe him as
against William 5. King?'
The judge finished by reference to
nominal damages and the one cent YER
dict. Said he: eff we call a man
horse thief, and say that he stole ten
horses, and we 20 and prove that he
stole nine; we might not substantiate
ali our charges, but he is horse thief
nevertheless, and we are but technically
wrong" He referred to the long
delayed suit and drew the conclusion
that at one time he had feared to do so.
The noon hour had approached and
eloquent glanceS were thrown at the
clock, but the Judge ran over little
time with his discourse. For 4 close he
warned the jury against the blandiSh-
ments OF the floWery tongue of Cy
Wellington.

A TRIBUTE TO BRIGHT.
John Morley Delivers an Eloquent
EulOgy.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-John Morley pre-
sided at the ceremony Of unwilling a
statue of John Bright at Rochedale. An
enormous crowd had gathered to pay
tribute to the depal ted orator and states
man. After the unveilingNMr. Morley
delivered an elaborate eulNy upon the
great commoner. He held that the
secret of Bright's matchless oratory and
of his power over the masses was the
moral fervor beating like pulse under
the array of spoken words; warming po-
litical objects into moral objects and
sending current of moral ideas like
the gulf stream. enriching political dis
cussioZ nourlsning it, and making it
alive.
It was during the civil war in Amer
lea. he said, that men saw BrightS
highest and greatest gifts at their best.
The force of his vision and his hopes
for the advance of mankind were never
more keen and masculine; the strength
of his arguments never so massive and
