On the Best Authority.

A story is told of a trial for bur
glary in which one of the jurymen
seemed to be SO certain of the prison
er's innocence, and pleaded for him SO
eloquently and so convincingly, that
the eleven others (who had no par
ticular bias either way allowed
themselves to be argued into return
ing verdict Of mot guilty" A few
days later fresh facts came to light
which proved the accused mans in
nocenee beyond a doubt, and one of
the eleven wavering jurymen hap
pening to meet with the nAan who
had so powerfully influenced them
all thanked him warmly for having
saved them from the commission of
a great injustice.
And yet, now think of it," he
added, ''you could not have known
then anything about these new facts,
SO how could you be so sure the
man was innocent2"
"Well," replied the other, my
chief reason for thinking that he did
not commit the crime was that
committed it myself"
Such authority was certainly not
to be disputed. -Harper's.

variations of the Compass of colum bus.

Variations of the Compass of Columbus
AS the astute Genoese well OWNED
the dread which the ever increasing
distance was certain to arouse, he
kept two logbooks, one for himself
and the other for the crew, In the
former he recorded the actual run,
in the latter a lesser distance. by
which device he diminished the fears
and restrained the impotence of his
susceptible shipmates. But in doing
this an unforeseen complication arose.
Their sure guide, the compass, that
ever had pointed fixedly to the
north, began to waver. Although
this phenomenon had been known
for two centuries-though many say
it had never been observed until
then-the crew gave themselves up
for lost and imagined that for them
even the fixed point was shifting, as
though God had cast them off. Co.
lumbus recognized the necessity of
explaining this phenomenon as he
had explained volcanoes. But the
explanation was not easy, for while
the volcanoes were like others al
ready known it was impossible to
understand or explain the variation
of the needle by any familiar fact or
experience. Emilio CASTELAR, in Cen
tIlry, -a

An odd Means of Livelihood.

An elderly Philadelphia earns a
fair livelihood guessing. He makes
guesses at everything when prizes
are offered to stimulate the guesser.
He answers newspaper competitions,
puzzle contests, tells the number of
beans in a bottle and other instruct
i've things. He comes out strong at
fairs, riddle matches and magazine
prize questions. The hit of his life
was when he secured the $500 offered
by an agricultural society for cor
rectly computing the number of
grains of corn in an ear still growing
on the stalk. 1t is such matter of
business that he would not consent
to guess a woman's age without a fee.

what a Dynamo-EIectrio Machine Is


In reply to an inquiry from a cor
respondent, the dynamo-electric ma
chine may be defined as a machine
for converting energy in the form of
mechanical power into energy in the
form of electric currents, or vice
versa, by the operation of setting
conductors usually in the form of
coils of copper wire) to rotate in a
magnetic field, or by varying a mag
netic field in the presence of conduc-
tors.
The term is also applied to a ma
chine by means of which electrical
energy is converted into mechanical
energy by means of magno-electric
induction, in which electric currents
are produced by the motion of per-
manent magnets, or of conductors
past permanent magnets. Machines
of the latter class are called mo
tors" those of the former genera.
