He Got the Cloak.

1t happened once that the Kazi
Oudge) Of Sary-lIissar. Il village near
Constantinople, got drunk, and fell
asleep in the vineyard; the Khojah,
walking with a friend, passed by the
place, and seeing the Kazi's condi.
tien, stole his gown and placed it
upon his own shoulders. When the
kazi awoke and missed his gown he
summoned his attendants and, send
ing them in different directions, COM
manded them to arrest the person
with whom it should be discovered.
One of the officers recognized the
gown on the Khojah's back, and
scizing him, dragged HIM to the
Mehkcmeh (the public tripunal).
When the Kazi saw him he de-
manded:
'KhoJah Effcndi; where didst thou
find this gown"
The .khojah answered with q loud
voice, so that all the spectators
might hear:
"As l was walking this MORN
ing with a friend we saw a kazi,
so reckless of the holy law he
was appointed to administer that he
lay in an open field, dead drunk and
asleep My companion, in indigna-
tion, spat upon and kicked him. I
took his cloak and put it on me. If
it he thy property l am willing to re-
sign it to thee"

alarmed for his reputation; sit i snone

"You see, papa has a great deal Of

"Not a bluff"
"Then I'll tell him you want to see

There were two chances of escape
for the young man. one by way Of

but he did not avail himself of either.

Scientific Mcasuremcnts.

scientific character, very we'll a hun.
lred years ago. In fact, even within
ourimproyed methods and appliances,
we can hardly excel some of the
achievements of the men of science
of the last century. An instance in
poinu has just attracted considerable
attention and applause at the Brus-
sells Science Conference and IN the
Astronomical Society of France.
In the year 1899 Delambre and
Mechain, the celebrated French as
tronomers, measured near Perpigan q
base line us Il part of the measure
mem of an arc of the meridian. eX-
tending from Dunlsirk to barcelona.
The object was to obtain data for
calculating the form and dimensions
OF the earth. They made the length
of their base line 3S, 1871. 9432 feet.
Recently this line has been remeas.
ured with the more refined instru.
lments of the present time, and it's
length has been a%scertained to he 3S,-

three.eighths inches in Il total dis
tancc of more than seven and one

If the astronomers of 1899 had been
able to carry their base line around
the earth, using it like IL surveyors

the circumference of the planet, TAX

been only about six hundred and

The scientific investigation entered
upon three years ago by England to ex-
plot the cause and cure of leprosy has
been completed, and as a result we know
little more than we did before. Science,
in short, admits that in this direction it
has made, and in the present light can
make, no advance. All that has been de-
termined is that the mortality from lep-
rosy has not appreciably increased, nor
is it likely to. We are assured, however,
that leprosy is not inherited; but that
fact, we take it, was agreed to by sci
entists some time ago. However, on col
lateral lines the commission has given
us some valuable information. For in
stance, we are assured that the transmits
sion of the disease through vaccination is
not fact, as the Observation-Disclosures have
so long contended. Also, that the super
stition that mosquitoes are the means OF
the transmission Of infection is not justi-
fed by the proofs at hand, at least so far
as leprosy is concerned.

Now THAT the national celebration 70

Now THAT the national celebration for
this Columbian year is over it would be
we'll for municipal authorities to con-
slider, and very early, too, that dealers
may not be unnecessarily injured by loss
of stock, whether it is not advisable to
limit the use of explosives in the streets
on all holiday occasions, when the laws
seem to be by common consent relaxed,
to the simple firecracker, and to forbid
the use OF bombs and pistols and guns.
Time was when Young America was en-
tirely content with the frecracker as
means of giving vent to his animal spirits
on national occasions. But year by year
the use of heavy and dangerous explo-
sives has increased, until it would seem
long toms will be satisfying presently.
The danger to life, property and limb is
too great to permit the bomb-throwing
nuisance to be any longer ignored. The
matter is already under public discussion
in San Francisco, where it is proposed to
prohibit the uses of double-headers.
bombs and what are known as "Chinese
sky-rockets," these implements being
ranked as most dangerous to human life
and especially liable to start conhagra-
tions. The law, if enforced, now prohib-
its the use of these or any other explo-
sives on the streets and public places.
But it is not enforced, and the question
to be considered is whether any ordinance
can be framed that will command any
greater respect. The law now being as it
is, policy-holders will find that, in case of
fire, underwriters in most cases can avoid
payment of losses by fire occasioned by
the infraction or avoidance of local
police regulation. This provision is
inserted in policies in order to bring
a pressure to bear upon authorities
of cities through the people to en-
force local laws intended to prevent the
burning of property. 1t appears that
in San Francisco this year the insurance
men endeavored to greatly limit the risk
of fire by buying up all the dangerous
explosives in the market. In this they
were only partially successful. The
opinion is expressed that manufacturers
can make, and will do so if put to it,
frecracker that is not dangerous in the
matter of starting fires.
