Something New in Canoe Racing.

In the last couple of seasons we have
noted the growth of the war canoe, pro-
PEELED by paddle entirely, and the sport
had by a few races with them has created
something of an interest in padding
races generally, which we're giving away
very extensively to the sailing events
There is now some talk of building en-
larged war canoes, to hold from dozen
to thirty or so, and racing them. There
are few fairly large padding canoes
now in existence, but they have served
heretofore on moonlight and other
nights as mediums for the introduction
of the,gentler sex to the destinations of
the sport. These may be manned for
racing, and, per contra, the ones con-
templated for racing may, on occasion,
be sacrificed to love and beauty. In
either event, it looks as though the re-
gattas of the summer would be made
doubly interesting by these large canoe
races, each boat with crew of probably
twelve to fifteen paddlers. -Harper's

An Interesting Law Suit.

A law suit over a meteorite has stirred
the usually tranquil life of Kirchberg,
in Wurtemberg. Some time ago every
body there was startled one night by a
loud report, and ball of fire was seen
to fall near the Rennecker sawmin. On
the next day stone weighing ton was
found among the logs by a laborer in
the mill News of the occurrence was
published far and wide. Among the
scores of pilgrims to the stone among
the logs were wise men from Stuttgart
and Tubingen, who believed that they
had rare specimen of celestial geologi-
cal formations. Their competitive offers
for the stone bred quarrel between the
laborer and the owner of the mill as to
whether the finder of the stone or the
owner of the land on which it fell could
claim it rightfully.
Tubingen professors had it shipped to
the university, after having agreed to
pay $500 for it if it proved to be a duly
tested and accredited meteorite. The
laborer thereupon enjoined the mill
owner from receiving the money for the
stone, and the mill owner got a lawyer,
who is trying to raise the injunction.
Meantime, the Tubingen professors have
said that the stone has few attributes of
a meteorite, and have refused to reship
it; so laborer and mill owner are about
to begin proceedings to compel them to
return it, both maintaining that the uni
versity is trying to get the meteorite for
nothing.
There are four lawyers in the case al
ready and nothing has been decided, so
the costs bid fair to exceed the value of
dozen meteorites.-New York Sun.
