THAT we must.some times go away from
home to learn the news, is exemplified in
the following interesting bit of informa-
ton, appearing in the Cork Eagle, of
June 81:
A cablegram from New York an
nounces that a sensational breach of
promise case is on the calendar at Lake
View, ILL.,, for the September term Of the
supreme court. 1t appears that Julia
Clark, a lady of some % years, became
engaged to Joseph Weddell about IS
months ago, and at that time was not
remarkable for unusual size or appear
snce, being then little over nine stone in
weight and very pretty. Shortly after
the engagement was announced the young
lady began to grow stout. and was shorts
ly confined to her room with a disease
closely resembling elephantiasis in the
increase of of bulk entailed, but with the
difference that it speedily attacked every
portion of the body, and she grew to be
of the most monstrous proportions. Her
weight increasing to over 400 pounds,
(about 80 stone). Under these circum.
stances Mr.. Weddell declined to fulfill his
engagement, avering that the lady had by
this radical change in her personnel made
it impossible for Der to be a companion
able adjunct to his house or presentable
spouse. He expressed the sincerest re-
gret at the incident, but declared that he
felt justified in Withdrawing from his OBJ
legation. 1t was hoped that the matter
would be amicably arranged, and the
principals and their friends spared the
publicity of the courts, but Miss Clark
has declined to accept the situation, and
insists upon the marriage being carried
out. 1t was finally placed in the hands
OF the attorneys, and the petition
of the plaintiff asks $4,000 dam
ages, on the plea that the engagement
existed and still exists; that the increase
in the lady's construction does not indi.
cate any mental or physical deficiency
such as would interfere with her suitable
duties as wife; that the marriage, at the
request of the defendant, was delayed
several months beyond the time when it
should really have taken place; and that
had it been solemnized at the time orig
inally agreed upon there could not have
been any reason for an objection on the
part of the defendant. 1t is also set forth
that but for the defendant the lady might
have been married to someone else before
she lost her artistic shape.

Within the glass put a number of balls
of cork or other light material. Let stop
cock with a small aperture be fixed upon
the tube leading into the glass. Another
tube to carry away the water should, of
course, be provided, but it may be used
over again. When the tap is properly
fixed, if the pressure of the water be suffi-
Gent, it will rush out with some force,

TIE GREAT BEAR

resented by the quadrangle forming the
cart, and the other three stars are the
horses.
The Pointers" are the two end stars,
and if a line be followed northward from
them it will lead close to Polaris, the prin-
cipal star in the lesser bear. This pole star
is of very great brightness, and peeps out,
almost isolated with pure lQster. The
names Of the pointers are Dubhe and
Menak. The star at the tail tip is Benet-
nasch, then Mizar and Alioth. Megrez and
Phad are the remaining pair. We append
rough outline of the bear for the informa-
ton of those who have not yet noticed it.
The Lesser Bear is not so important as
his elder brother as regards size, but he is
very useful to astronomers. He resembles
the Great Bear in appearance, but is small
er, and the positions of the stars are in
verted. The little bear swings around the
Polar star, which is in the tip of the Lesser
Bears tail. So any one will be able to find
him if they look for the Polar star and
then count the three stars away from It
and the four in the body. The Great Bears
tail points in the other direction.

The Position of the French Accent.


The settlement OF a purely pathological
question Chat, namely, as 70 the position
of the French accent by a physical method
has been recently attempted by DR.. Prigs.
helm, of Berlin. According to Nature, the
instrument used was Konigs and SCOTS
phonautograph, into which a number of
Frenchmen were required to speak, the
measurement of the record being after
ward made by means of tuning fork
curve running parallel with it. This in
strument renders possible a determination
OF the duration, pitch and intensity of each
syllable, and DR.. Prigsheim discusses its
indications. As a preliminary result, be
finds that two syllable words have the VOW
els pronounced with equal length and
strength. Noteworthy differences appear
in the curve of a word according as it oc-
ours in the middle or at the end of a SEN
tence. In the latter case there is added to
the characteristic word curve a terminal
curve with declining pitch and strength
which Is nearly the same for different
words, and corresponds to the sinking of
the voice before pause. The vowels and
consOnants show characteristic curves; and
notably long wave lengths occur with n, l.
and d. The duration of syllables varies
between OIL and 05 second; and between
the syllables of a word there are often
pauses of 0.3 to 0.2 second. The shortest
syllable, e in etc, with rather slow pronun-
citation, consisted of twenty-five vibrations
yet the ear is capable OF not only hearing
the tone, but OF detecting fine shades and
differences in the mode of pronunciation
Further experiments in this direction, with
an improved apparatus, are contemplated.

FL. A. BARNHART, of the Rochester
Sentinel, who visited the grounds of the
battle of Gettysburg recently, tells the
following as a historical fact. how the life
of w. w. Dudley of blocks-ot-five motor
iety was saved by democratic editor and
his wife:
The corpulent editor of the Gettysburg
Compiler is a democrat from away back,
and he is every inch character. Dur>
ing the battle of Gettysburg when the res
idents of that city were staying very close
indoors to prevent the flying bullets from
translating them hence, four soldiers in
blue carried fainting Indiana colonel
into the editors house, and begged that
he be cared for, as the hospitals were full
to overlooking. The request was cheers
fully granted and by q skillful binding of
the shattered limb and liberal portions of
mountain brandy the wounded was re-
vived when his leg was amputated and he
was nursed back TO life. The officer was
Col. Dudley of blocks-of five infsmy, and
soon after the Garfield Hancock press
Dental election, Dudley made speech at
Gettysburg, in which he publicly stated
that, but for the parental care given him
by the democratic editor and his wife, he
would have died the day he was wounded.
After the address he hunted up the editor
and again acknowledged bis obligation for
the kindly interference which saved his
life, when he received the following scath.
ing reply: IF l had thought when l was
exerting every effort to save your life that
was saving you to defeat the gallant
Hancock by your famous two dollar bill
method by -, sir, you would not be
going around the country now Boosting
that you are indebted to democrat for
your present existence"
