New Principles Ia Physics.

A Mr.. Lewis, of this city. claims to
have discovered some now principles in
the laws of physics, and is prepared to
demonstrate that there are errors in
Newton's "Principia." 1t has long been
considered an established fact that the
pressure of the atmosphere could only
raise a column of water III a cuu
about twenty-five feet, AMI in practice
it has not been found possible to raise
water quite that distance by means Of a
suction pump. Mr.. Lewis claims that
he a raise water fifty or sixty feet by
means OF u suction pump.
He has Il large lot Of mathematical
calculations bearing on CHS matter, and
is now studying mp the rise and fall of
the tides on this coast with a view Of
ascertainirg what influence the attrac-
ton of the moon e1arts upon the earth.

MISCELLANY.
The Question of Fare Paving.

The Question of Fare Paying.
Two ladies got into a Broadway car a
day or two ago and both at once opened
their purses. Il have the change said
one, and at the same moment the other,
being nearer the conductor, dropped a
coin into his outstretched hand. Where
upon the first woman, supposing she had
been f~orestalled, put away her pocket
book. But the conductor came on and
ssked for her fare.
why said her friend, seeing that
the other supposed she was paid for, Il
beg your pardon. l did not pay your
fare, though l should have been pleased
to do so. Ny long residence abroad has
made me unmindful of our American
habit of this little exchange Of financial
oourtesies. You know i'll Europe every
body pays his own way and expects
everybody else to do the same. Nobody
thinks of franking you over there. /
really believe it saves time and trouble !
Yes" replied the other. and zone
too. l have a great deal Of company
from out of town, and | don't know why
they should, but most of them expect
me to do all the fare paying. When
We go about, two n three together.
for a few days, it is easy to use up an
appreciable amount of change in car
fares" A statement few will dispute.
1t is to be wished that. this European
practice might obtain here.-New York

SATURDAY.-Horatio D. Pratt VS.. BENJAMIN

the defendants wife after their separation and
prior to divorce, at her request. Decision for
the defendant.

Hattie Stott, petitioner for habeas corpus
against Nathaniel Ward and Cordelia A. Ward
to recover the possession and custody of Fred
Hanson, boy nine years of age Mrs. Stott
was formerly the wife of Frank M. Hanson of
Saccarappa. 1t is alleged that at the time the
boy Fred was born, Hanson deserted her. and
that she gave the child to the defendants. but
did not give them any written declaration as
she had not obtained divorce. Mrs Stott
says she heard in 1886 that her husband was
dead, and soon after she marrud Mr. Stott and
went TO Boston to reside that in 1890 her for
mer husband turned up alive, and she then
had the marriage ceremony performed again
with Mr.. Stott. The divorce was decreed in
January, 1891. During all this time she admits
That she never claimed the child until six weeks
ago. She says she now has her other children,
and wants this one They live in Boston. and
her huSDand.s wages are SIG week. On the
part OF the Wards, Attorney General Littlefield
their counsel, claimed that the child's welfare
would be better subseryed by allowing him to
remain with the people who had brought him
up; they are the only parents he has ever
known, and to give him to Mrs Stott would be
practically turning him over to perfect stran-
ger, Judge Bonney denied the petition, and re-
manded the boy to the care and custody of the
Wards.

A Lucky Hotel Keeper.

Speaking of his financial experiences
Mr.. Sammis, who sold his hotel at Fire
Island to the state of New York for
quarantine purposes, said recently: 81
have been very fortunate. have taken
from $4,000 to $4,000 in checks in a
single season, and never had but two go
to protest one of twenty-five dollars
and another of thirty-six dollars. And
l have not had more than s., 900 worth
of bad debts in all this time. These
facts show the class of people 1 have
been catering to. Jay Cooke gave me a
check of $500 for his family. Peter
Cagger gavo me a check of 81 ZOO for his
family. General Townsend, of Albany,
gave me a check of 81, 400 for his family.
The late George Jones, of the New York
Times, gave me check of 5000 for one
season. Louis Jennings, once editor of
the New York Times, gave me check
of 1900. These people were all here
during one summer"

1t is found that masonry may be rem
dered impervious to water, especially in
positions exposed TO direct contact with
that element, by the application of coal
tar. The latter is employed in boiling
state, in one or more layers, or it may be
made to fame up before being used, the
first being suitable Tor surfaces exposed to
the air, while the second is appropriate in
the case of parts intended to be covered
up. This method of treating foundations
is declared 70 be of special utility in all
public buildings, particularly those de-

Captain A. G. Weissert, the new COM
mander in chief was born Aug. 7, 1843,
in Canton, o., and at the age of five was
taken by his parents to Wisconsin. He
is graduate of the Racine high school
and of the University of Michigan,
though his educational career was cut in
two by the war, and is now leading
lawyer of Milwaukee. He volunteered
at the beginning of the war and was
rejected ON account of his youth; tried
it three more times and was rejected
each time for the same reason, but in
September, 1861, having completed his
eighteenth year, he secured q place in
the ranks of the Eighteenth Wisconsin
infantry.
He participated in forty-two battles
and skirmishes, and was seriously
wounded in the last-the battle of Nash
vile. He was breveted captain for meri-
torious services, and President Lincoln
appointed him cadet at West Point,
but owing to disability caused by his
wounds he could not take the place. He
