4 JUDICIAL KINDERGARTEN
.Snectivo Ueo OF a Sign Language In Scr
fencing Prisoner.

'~'SNeA'o Oec Oh u sign Language IN Scr
fencing II Prisoner.
Once upon time, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, there was n Judge
named Rcdman, who presided over u
big territory, which kept him racing
from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San
Luis Obispo. The Spanish population
was the chief race to be found In that
district, and Redman knew but two
words in that language, which were
mo tiende," and was put TO the neces.
sity of employing court interpreter,
who attended him in his rapid tour of
the big circuit.
1t happened that u murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that nm
important trial must be attended, miles
away, on the same day. Redman's in
tcrpretcr had gone off to fandango in
the wilds somewhere and could not be
found when court was opened and Red
man was in n fury Of Impotence. Al
last, when he could endure the DELAY
no longer, he said to tho man below in
the dock:
Prisoner ut the bar-stand upIs
''No tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidity.
"You don't savoy, do your exclaimed
the judge sharply. "Well, do You I'M
dcrstand this?" and he proceeded to
gcsticulate vigorously with his hands
aud indicate the motion of rising.
The man finally comprchended and
arose stiffly in his seat
prisoner Mt the bar, is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
27th day of June next, be hanged by
the neck until you are dead and NAV
God have mercy on your soul. Now,
do you savoy that2"
The poor prisoner shook his head in O
bewildered fashion, and could only cry:
mo ticnde, no tiende"
lis there anybody present in this
court who can translate that awful
sentence to this prisoner?'' demanded
the judge of the half dozen of officials
and spectators in the room. They were
in the same boat as the prisoner, and
could only shake their heads mourn
fully.
"Wcll," exclaimed the judge, q bright
thought striking him: iii just show
you, then, this way" whereupon he un-
reeled ayard of red tape that lay on his
desk, and, twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck, held the two ends high
over his left ear, ut the same time roll
ing his eyes and wagging his tongue
down against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the
court room. They understood the grim
Judicial Kindergarten completely.

London Invention He made his ascent
from the Victoria gardens recently, sit
ting upon trapeae Immediately be-
meath the balloon, to which was nlso
attached parachute of a new fashion.
The whole rose to q height which rem
dercd even the big balloon itself scarce
ly visible in the cloudless sky. It was
now, as appears from this brave sea-
mans narrative, at an altitude of eleven
thousand four hundred feet, or moro
than two miles, commanding q vast
horizon, but the voynger's hands were
so numbcd that he was becoming un-
able to feel the cords. "Then," saws
Lieut. Mansfield, finding my apparatus
nil clear, / took the balloon ring in
my right hand, drew myself clear of
the trapcze and dropped down into
space" After descending with terrible
velocity for some distance the para
chute began to open. AT ten thousand
two hundred feet he was falling ut a
great speed. but was fully able to CON
troll the apparatus. At ten thousand
feet he was sailing down calmly into
space. Then he drifted to and fro In
various counter currents, and Mt one
thousand feet exactly felt the heat
from long, red, iron chimney. Now
comes the more remarkable part of tho
narrative. Steering my parachute" he
continued. Ito the eastward, 1 dropped
her rapidly to clear the buildings
ahead, and, seeing nothing but houses
to descend on, selected the --LATEST I
could find and dropped gently down on
it," A spectator who watched the vow
nge from the gardens gives a vivid &c
count of straining the eyes till he was
just able to discern q tiny white speck
on the blue sky. After what seemed q
terrible length of time, Lieut. Mans
field became visible swinging under the
parachute. and working the valve lines
so as to insure safe landing when he
chose to make it '.Such q complete
master of the air, says the eyewitness,
has never been seen before in this coun-
try" The balloon fell, as was intend
ed, in the sea, where, being fitted with
cork belts for the purpose, it was easily
recovered. Lieut.. Mansfield, who looks
for great advantages from his manage
able parachute in naval operations, has
announced that his next ascent will be
with an entirely new apparatus, spo-
cially adapted to military warfare.
