LIGHT ON LoGARITHMs.
"A "smart'' Lawyer '.Done Up'' by an
Expert.

Expert.
An expert engineer in a New England
city rendered bill to a corporation
which had employed him TO write tech
nical report. The amount of the fee was
large, the corporation refused to pay it.,
and the claim was carried into court.
During the trial the counsel for the cor
poration sought to belittle the ex pert's s
work, raising questions as to his expert
ence, and. in fact, TO prove that his labor
would have been amply rewarded with a
few dollars day.
''How did you reach this result ?"
asked the lawyer, referring 10 certain
calculation which had involved the use of
logarithms.
Il consulted Napier's table and''-but
he got no further.
You consulted Napier's table, did
your"
"Yes.u
do you mean to tell this court that
you, an expert, had to resort to pub
lished table? Did you prove the figures
of that table?"
NO, but they have been proved. They
are considered to be accurate by every
scientific man."
Why do you not work out your own
table OF logarithms? Is it not because
you are unable to do so?n
III IS not. | am perfectly capable of
preparing such table; but il would have
taken too long time TO do so. and so
consulted the Standards"
In order to prove your calculations as
well as your capabilities in this matter.u
continued the suspicious lawyer. ~ will
now ask you to prepare table of loga-
rithmS."
Here aud now?" inquired the plaint-
III. Il fear it Will consume too much of
the courts time"
This seemed TO confirm the lawyers
doubts, and so he insisted the more upon
having a complete table OF logarithms
prepared.
The plaintiff smiled maliciousIy, took
paper and pencil and began his work.
In about i've minutes the lawyer asked
him II he had finished. The plaintiff
shook his head and continued at work.
Ten minutes passed by and again the
question was put:
"How nearly finished are your"
very far from finished.n remarked
the plaintiff.
" ell, may ask how long it will take
you TO prepare table such as Napier's? :?
on seem TO be very slow about it.''
Inc expert hesitated little and then
replled: II estimate that, working alone,
L might be able to complete it in about
fifteen years, working day and night. It
took Napier and five assistants seven
years to prepare his table, but | am less
familiar with the calculation than he
was, and, as you say, work slow. Still,
IN hlteen years think l can complete it.v
LII IS unnecessary to say that the lawyer
was not little taken back by the answer.
which enlightened him q trile on the
subject lie withdrew the questions, and
eventually the expert won his case.
