THE DELAWARE COLLEGE.
A hearing was given this afternoon
to the Legislative Committee OF Della.
ware College. Senator Pllllng was
called upon to preside and Manlove
Hayes made an address In behalf OF
the college. He gave 4 statement of
the estimated cost of the improve
Inents needed to make the college as
desired and said 1t would amount to
Sl3,943.
DR.. Pratt, one of tho trustees ap
pointed by the Governor, also spoke,
and said that it WAS impossible to
teach the sciences as taught in other
institutions or learning. unless the
proper appliances were furnished, He
did not think there WIS another place
in this country where an education
could be secured as cheap or under as
advantageous circumstances. In his
opinion the college should be fostered
and Sustained by tho stats.
lie suggested as means of raising
the amount TINT ns there ars over $780,

various school committees of this
State no more money be given them
until this Ia used. but that instead the
amounts which would be due them be
paid into the general fund of the State.
for the uee OF Delaware College.
Hon. Charles b. Lore was the next
speaker, and strongly urged that the
College should receive aid from the
State. In speaking of the amount APP
propriated by the National Govern
ment, he said:
That all tho State has to do Ia to pro.
| vide the buildings. and the general
| government will do the rest. But If
the State does not do this the money
| granted by the government will lie
! forfeited, and revert to the United
States treasury. The college furnish.

mea OF this State 10 it can accommo
date. No one can lind fault with the
! branches taught, as In his opinion they
| are fully equal to those of the lnsti-
| tutlons in this country. The build.
\ iDgs for which an appropriation is
/ asked, are greatly needed to make the
Institution what 1t should be.
1t now belongs to the State, and is
an institution where tho sons OF the
men who earn their bread by the sweat
! or their brow can obtain. even elias
steal education without cost for tut
ton. Therefore 1t should have the
support aud encouragement of the
State for wi bout that, il will be unable
to poi form It's great and Eo9lo work.
Mr.. Lore, the Same as the other
speakers. presented the iucts concern.
Ing tho college in an able, eloq uent
and forciblo manner, and there cannot
he doubt but the Institution should
be assisted TO the fullest extent by tile
State. All the affairs OF the College are

lets the block fall.
The trap is SO arranged that when
the block drops the pins will enter the
mole track, which is undisturbed ex-
cept by fiattening it down with the
foot even with the surface, just at the
place where the end of the piece G
will come. The block is lowered once
or twice to make sure the pins will
penetrate the soil without difficulty.
The trap is set, and just touches
the ground where it is trodden
down over the mole track. The block
must have fall of 10 to IA inches. The
pieces E and F g are each about 10
inches long and made very light. The
slightest lifting at will throw out
of the notch in and let the block fall.
The mole approaches from either di-
rection, and when he raises the ground
before him springs the trap, and
the points will pierce his body. Exper-
iments have proved that the best dis

ATTRACTION OF THE ABYSS.
Why People Long to Throw Themselvs
from High Places,

Why People Long to Throw Themselves
from High Places.
Chevreul's well-known experiments
with the exploratory pendulum and
the divining rod show that if we repre-
sent to ourselves motion in any di-
rection the hand win unconsciously
realize it and communicate it to the
pendulum, says a writer in the
Popular Science Monthly. The tipping
table realizes a movement we are an
ticipating, through the intervention of
a real movement of the hands, of
which we are not conscious. Mind
reading, by those who divine by taking
your hand where you have hidden any
thing, is a reading of imperceptible
motions by which your thought is
translated without your being con-
scious of them. In cases of fascination
and vertigo, which are more visible
among children than among adults, a
movement is begun the suspension of
which is prevent ed by a paralysis OF
the will. and it carries us to
suffering and death When a child
| was navigating plank on
the river wit hout thought that |
might fall All at once the idea came
like diverging force, projecting itself
across the rectilinear thought which
had alone previously directed my ac
ton 1t was as if an invisible arm
seized me and drew me down. | cried
out and continued staggering over the
whirling waters till help came to me.
The mere thought of vertigo provoked
it. The board lying on the ground sug-
gests no thought of fall when you
walk over it; but when it is over a
precipice and the eye takes the meas
ure of the distance to the bottom, the
representation of falling motion be-
comes intense, and the impulse to fall
correspondence so. Even If you are
safe, there may still be what is called
the attraction of the abyss. The vision
of the gulf as fixed idea, having pro-
duced an exhibition" ON all your ideas
or forces, nothing Is left but the figure
of the great hole, with the intoxica-
ton of the rapid movement that be-
gins in your brain and tends to turn
the scales of the mental balance.
Temptation, which Is continual In
children because everything is new to
them, is nothing else than the force of
an idea and the motive impulse that
accompanies it.

An Octogenarian RecoHnts the Accidents
That Have Befallen Him.
Eleazer Chace is now over eighty
years of age. He is man most highly
respected by all who know him. His
has been life of accidents. Some OF
his experiences are as follows, says the
Wilmington GIL. News:
81 was sliding on the crust when a
a boy and slid over a fence, running
stake into me and making bad wound.
Once, when my mother was making
soap, / saw dipper of what thought
was water and drank three swallows.
1t proved to be strong I've. My mother
melted some tallow and gave it to me,
and the doctors said that was all that
saved my life. Four times came near
getting drowned, twice breaking
through the ice iHto the river, once
falling from a raft into the mill pond,
and once / fell out of boat into a
river. / was nearly killed twice by
being thrown from horses, fell from
loaded team to the frozen ground and
vas picked up for dead, and fell out OF
wagon and had a leg caught between
the spokes of one of the wheels. Once
| was driving a covered wagon when
the stanchion bolt came out, letting
the body down The rein hook caught
me in the forehead, tearing great
cash, and when | fell out struck my
head on the axle. Twice ! fell out
twelve feet from a staging, once fell
down trap in a carriage house on a
pile of boards below and started rib.
| stepped on scythe and cut my foot
badly. and a cake of ice fell on my foot
and burst open one of my toes, cut my
ankle badly with an ak, broke a needle
in my heel, which was not removed for
two months, and stepped on a ten
penny nail and drove it into my foot,
making a bad wound. from which
pieces of the shoe and stocking were
removed. and which had to be cut open
and the bone scraped. | had wind

barrel, and it broke out two of my
teeth. | have been blown up once
when blasting stone and badly burned

again with buzz planer; fell on an
eighteen-inch belt when it was run

LITTLE CHANCE OF PERJURY.
Why Circumstantial Evidence Is Regarded
by Many Lawyers as Strong.

Why Circumstantial Evidence Is Regarded
by Many Lawyers as Strong.
Writers in the law periodicals are ad-
vocating all sorts of strange doctrines
at present. One correspondent thinks
that circumstantial evidence should
have scarcely any weight. His argu-
ment is that when direct evidence is
given there is only the perjury of the
witness to be guarded against, while in
circumstantial evidence there are both
the possibility of perjury and the liza
bility to wrong inference from the
circumstances The strength of cir
cumstantial evidence, according to
most writer's, however, is that there is
little probability of perjury, as the cir
cumstances frequently are slight in
themselves and not likely to be dis
torted by the witnesses who do not
know of their full effect. The New
York Tribune regards it as probable
that many more unjust convictions
have taken place from perjured direct
evidence than from mistaken infer
ences from circumstances. Ardemus
Stewart, in the American Law Reg
dence to an even greater extent than
most previous writers. English law
yers, writing to the London papers,
have advocated to some extent
strange plan for doing away with all
oaths in legal proceedings, on the
ground that perjury is so common that
simple declarations to which the same
penalties for incorrect statements
might attach would be just as valua-
BILE as testimony given under the pres
ent form Another new theory which
has found its advocate is that in Grim
inal trials, except for treason, the de-
Tense, as well as the prosecution, shall
be conducted by public officials This
suggestion is rather more startling
than any of the others. and Is even
more unlikely than they of adoption.
1t may be that in the superabundance
of law periodicals, writers find it easier
to invent theory than to make some
valuable contributions to legal liter
