The appointment is an admirable one
and will give very general satisfaction.
Judge Wiswell was very enthusiastically
supported by the legal fraternity of
Eastern Maine, and had many warm friends
in other sections of the State. While the
friends Of the other candidates may feel q
little disappointed, all will sgree that the
mantle has fallen upon able shoulders. as
the leading members of the bar speak in
the highest terms of Judge Wisweli'S legal
ability.

which is in the shape of a pyramid, is

Of the pyramid is topaz 1915 inches

CrocedfIes.

The true crocodile, are distinct from
the alligstors. Among the points OF dis
tinction tho following are tho most
noticeable. In the crocodiles the So
called canine tooth, the fourth counting
from the front. ets into -Sses, a" .nv
eide OF the upper jaw, and Is therefore
visible when the mouth Is closed, while
in the alligator it Is received in q pit in
the upper jaw, and Is therefore invisible,
or nearly so. Again, In tho crocodiles
tho hind legs have fringe OF HatteDed
scales which is wanting In the alligators,
whose legs are round. Crocodiles are
found in Africa, Asia, the tropical parts
Of Australia, Central America and the
West Indies; while the alligators, with
tho exception Of one species discovered
some few years since in China, are found
only in America. They are all OF them
terrible destructive creatures; the young
feed principally on fish, but as they
grow larger they attack every animal
that they can overpower, dragging their
prey INTO the water, and so drowning it.
1t has been said that more people are
killed by crocodilcs than by any other OF
the wild beasts of Africa. To those who
wish to know moro OF this part Of tho
subject VIC commend Sir 8. w. Bakers
book.
The crocodilia are, as every one Is
aware, thoroughly aquatic in their
habits. and their peculiar conformation
enables them to attack and seize theif
prey upawMsseauaih 60 the back part of
their throats, their eyes and their ears
are placed on the upper part Of the head,
60 that when in the water they can
breathe, see and hear, while they arc
themselves practically invisible. When
they dive their nostrils and ears are
closed by lids or valves, and their eyes
are covered by transparent nictitatins
membrane. They arc further furnished
with an arrangement which prevents the
water from getting down their owL
throats when they are holding large ami.
mails under the water to drown them.
The dentition Of these reptiles is peculiar:
the teeth arc sharp and conical, and arc
hollow at the base, and each tooth serves
as the sheath Of another, which will in
lime replace it. The tongue-for, not.
withstanding the ancient belief, the
crocodile does possess tonguc-is
ieshy, and is attached to the bottom of
she mouth. And finally the lower jaw
8 hinged at the very back Of the skull,
thus giving the animal its extraordinary
cape, aud also the peculiar appearance
which caused the notion that it moved

Novel Climbing Device.

4 French inventor has devised novel
and practical arrangement for use by
ircmen and others to facilitate rope
climbing, and, at the same time, to per-
nit the climber to have free use Of his
hands. The apparatus consists OF two
boards joined by a hinge, hole passing
,hrough both the hinge and the boards,
and the extrcmities of the latter are pro-
vidcd with straps, which can be fastened
TO the feet of the man using the appara-
tus. The method of climbing involved
in this arrangement is simple. When
The feet attached to the boards are lifted
The rope is free, but the moment the feet
.re pressed down on the two boards the
;ope is firmly grlpped. 1t is only neces-
'ary, therefore, to lift the body with
both hands as far as possible, and it can
hen be held by the hinged clamps until
another lift is made. BY the use of a
oelt to hold the body close to the ropo
the hands may bo left free for work. -

Tracing the Namo "Chcss."

The word ''chess" is said to be q cor:
ruptinn OF .h. h,auic woro "shcikh," !"
meaning chief or king. The game came
westward by way of Persia, where the
game of the king. The term "check"
is merely to give notice that the king is
attacked, and "checkmate" means ''tho
king is dead" the verb mata being from
the same root as the Spanish matador, the
slayer of the bull. The word check,
whether verb or noun, may be traced
through several curious ramifcations
back to tho Persian and Arabic. Even
the word exchequer is curiously tangled
up in this verbal network.
