HENRY MARTINS WILL
THE LONG-DRAWN CONTEST AT
LAST ENDED.
The Jury by Vote of Ton to Two Pro-
nounces the Second Will Spur
ous-The First Win
Genuine.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-Baby John
Martin has lost the fortune which his
mother has tried to prove that the late
Henry Martin had left to his nephew.
The jury pronounced the will submitted
by Mrs. John Martin, in which Henry
MAsp ai. large ss5 shaFF VIA q probsss ,s s,9 ana "a
Mrs. H enry Martin will now come into
possession of her husbands fortune.
The jury voted 10 to 2 that the second
will WAS forgery. Delmas asked that
the jury be discharged and that the
court deny the will probate. This was
done, and the court adjourned.
The fierce srraignment to which
Grove L. johnson was subjected by d.
NJ. Dslmas in his closing argument in
the Martin case is likely to cause trouble
between these lawyers. Attorney Lin
forth, Johnson'e junior associate, says
that Delmas was afraid johnson in his
argument would attack him personally,
so Delmas sent Arthur Rogers, his 1850
ciate, to Johnson, requesting that per-
sonalitieg be avoided and su bsequently
wrote letter voicing the plea, and tell
ing johnson that in his closing argu-
ment for Mrs. Henry Martin nothing
Oueueivo 10 JOuubOu WOulu De uttered.
Lniorth says that in view of this breach
Of faith Johnson will deal with Delmas
personally.
The arguments were concluded late this
afternoon, and Judge Coffey delivered
his charge to the jury which is to decide
whether the estate is to be settled upon
Henry Martins widow or John Martin,
Jr., the alleged child OF Isabella Martin.
widow of the testator's deceased brother
John. Judge Coffey's charge was re-
garded as rather against the interests of
the child. He stated that the jury
should decide simply as to the genuine
mess of the alleged second will, the one
in the boys favor, and that the Jury
must be satieied that Henry Martin
wrote it before the will could be sus-
tanned; also that the proponent, the
child, must prove the genuineness OF the
alleged second will by preponderance
OF evidence. He charged furthermore,
that If the jury believed the child's
mother. Isabella Martin, had fabricated
or attempted to fabricate evidence in he
half of the child. the presumption is
raised that she believed the contention
OF the other side to be true.
In conclusion, the judge told the jury
that it had nothing to do with q erimi-
nal prosecution for forgery which might
follow verdict against the second will.
The Jury retired at I O'clock

Important Discovery in Madagascar of the
 Egg of the Extinct Gigantic Bird.
 A large specimen of the egg of the fabled roc of the Arabian Nights" or Epyornis, as the extinct gigantic bird of Madagascar is called, has been se- cured by MT. J. Procter, of Tamatave and Princes square, w.. who has brought the curiosity to London 1t was discovered by some natives about twenty miles to the southward of St. Augustine's bay, on the southwest coast of Madagascar. It was floating on the calm sea, within twenty wards of the beach, and is supposed to have been washed away with the foreshore, which consists of sand hills, after a hurricane in the early part of the year. The childlil1e longshoreman of the antipodes, opining that the egg had value, showed the unusual piece of hotsam about with a view to sale, and it thus came into the hands of Mir. Proctor. The egg, which is whitey- brown in color and unbroken, is fine specimen, 3S11SX2S inches, and an even higher value is placed upon it than upon the egg of the great aul, which lived within the memory of man. The Brobdignagia proportions of the egg are better demonstrated by compar- ison with the eggs of the ostrich and crocodile. An ostrich's egg is about r inches by 15 inches, and the contents of six such are only equal to one egg of the Apyornis. The measurements of the egg of the crocodile are normally 9 inches by 6lz inches. It would re- quire the contents of 1615 emu's eggs to equal the contents of this great egg, CT 14S eggs of the homely fowl, or 3O,- GOO of the humming bird. The last egg of the kind disposed of in London sold for e10O, though cracked.

 Concerning the Great Planet.

Wonderful Figures Fail to Express Enough
 Concerning the Great Planet.
 Our most eminent astronomers do not pretend to give us exact reckon ings on the great floating worlds out side of our own solar system, but with in that monstrous aggregation every thing has been reduced to certainty. The kingpin of the solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of all the sun-l1issed worlds y His diameter is about SS,O00 of our miles, being about eleven times that of our own globe; the circumference 275,0OO miles at the equator, which would give the giant volume exceed ing that of the earth by 1,2S4 times. Were it possible to bring the earth and Jupiter so close together that the dis tance separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the moon-about 24O,- 900 nfiles-what wondrous sight would be in store for the residents of our lit tie globe. The world of Jupiter would appear to us to have a diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attendant, and the surface of his disk would occupy space greater than that of 1,6OO full moons. And this giant of the planets is re- moved from the sun by distance of 496, ,000, GOO miles; has an orbit of more than 1000, ,O0O, GOO miles in extent, and makes a circuit of it's celestial track once every 4,S32 days. Thus it will be seen that a year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years, ten months and seven teen days on our globe. The immensi- ty of the world of Jupiter and it's orbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: In order to complete it's orbit in the time given above, it must speed around the sun with a ve- locity of 100000 miles a day, or a little more than eight miles per second.

COST OF CUP RACES.

Lord Dunraven Has Spent a Fortune Try
 ing to Beat the Vigilant.
 Yachting costs a great deal of money, especially such yachting as is indulged in to capture and defend the Americas cup, remarks the New York Tribune. A friend of Lord Dunraven said recently that the earl told him that the total cost to him to build, equip and run the Vallzyrie, together with his travelling expenses to win the Americas cup, would be fully one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. The syndicate which built the Vigilant subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars originally, and has been called upon for an assessment besides, so that the total outlay upon the cup de- fender is not far from the amount ex- pended on the Vallzyrie. Add to these sums the money which the Jubilee, Colonia and Pilgrim cost their owners, and the total cost of the latest strug- gle for the Americas cup amounts to almost five hundred thousand dollars.
 The honor of holding the Americas cup, however, cannot be reckoned by dollars and cents, and American yacht men would not have been willing to part with the trophy at any cost. The practical benefit to boat building and the pleasure and profit to be derived from pure and manly sport must be added to the credit account.

VARIATIONS IN LITERATURE.

Present Day Literary limitations of Musical
 Compositions Common Years Ago.
 Some twenty-five years ago there was style of musical composition much in vogue known as variations" says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly. 1t ap- peared in dozen page sheets entitled Home, Sweet Home-with variations;n Coming Through the Rye-with varia- tions;" "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother" lalso with variations). The distinctive plan of these compositions and, whatever their individual char aeteristic, they were, as whole, with out variation-consisted, first, in a brace or two of banging prelude, close ly followed by a simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated," which was next heard be- hind thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned deep dis. guise in the bass, to become barely recognizable in the treble with trills. ditto in bass, in the treble with runs, ditto in bass, and finally lost itself in a company of crashing chords so over towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye" or "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother"
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters; that is to say, it has affected the entire twenty six, as we'll as the select seven to be found upon the piano keyboard. It doesn't nowadays satisfy writer to say, merely: "One summer morning, fine and early, was walking through the woods" He immediately goes on (taking the word ''early' as his key note): ''The sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last nights dew" Then, with fine" and summer" as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luxuriant footprints of Iight-step- ping summer" Starting next from CD 'I," @ walking" and (3) woods" he informs us: "As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the crackle of a dry stick was heard and startled gray squirrel scampered up the giant oak on my left" Da capo: ''On sueh glorious morning 1 was glad simply to be alive, as were we all-young-risen sun, trees, flowers. moss and little gray squirrel. y
 And so, diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength of the writer, it is, however, more easy to de- termine.

Interesting relics of dead and gone Indian tribes are the great mounds of oyster shells formed along the seashore in southern Delaware. According to local tradition, the Nanticol1es of Pennsylvania were in the habit of win tering along the seashore in lower Delaware and of eating numerous quantities of oysters. The shells tes- tify 70 the capacities of the Nanticokes, and many Indian implements are found in the mounds.
