Els Words Verified.

About 25 years ago certain southern
man brought suit against tho South
Carolina railroad for damages to his
property. He lost the case in the supe-
rlor court, but insisted upon carrying
1t to the supreme court, where he repre-
sented his own cause. He began his ar
gumcnt by saying whimiscally:
May it please the court there is an
old French adago which says, "a man
who is his own lawyer hath fool for a
client. f"
The next week the supreme court
pronounced its decision, which was adj
verse to the southerncr. He was in Au-
eusta at tho time, but received the an
nouncement of his second and final dis
appointment by means of Il telegram
sent him by prominent judge, who
was an intimate friend of his.
The telegram read as follows: "Judg-
ment for defendant in error. French
adage affirmed by supreme court. -

THE DESTRUCTIVE TERepo.
Piling of Wharves and Railroad TrestIc
Ruined by 1t.

Tho teredo is the most destructive
marine animal we have. It enters the
submerged part of the piling of wharves
or railroad trestles and bores into tho
interior. When it penetrates the surface
of the wood it is about the size of pin,
but increases i'll size, always lengthen-
ing, but never leaving any part of the
hole it bores until its full mission is
accomplished. In this way it stretches
from tho original pin hole entrance far
into the interior of the wood and swells
in size to the diameter of large lead
pencil. AT the big end are tho cutters
two clam shells that rotate from side to
sido and cut n smooth, round hole. The
worm sometimes attains the length of
ten inches.
Hundreds of such worms attack the
exposed wood at the same time, and in
short time honeycomb it. However
numerous they are, they never interfere
with one another, and no instance is
found where one borer has cut into or
crossed the boring of his neighbor,
though tho partitions left between the
borings are sometimes no thicker than
sheet of paper. Another popularity is
thue 40 tlo pittCcS VI GulIuDCO are no
larger than pin heads and the worms re-
main and do their growing inside, the
wood may be almost entirely consumed
inside, yet the surface appears sound
and unaffected. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, tho wooden pile gives
way and its fellows follow in short or
der, and the wharf which appeared sub
stantial is wholly ruined.
TO combat the teredo many expedients
have been resorted to. One is to sheatle
the piling i'll copper. Another is to cover
the surface of the wood with broad
headed tacks-the rust from which
spreads so as to discourage the tere6o's
operations. Still another method is to
boil the wood i'll creosoto under heavy
steam pressure, SO that the creosote sa:-
urates the fibers of the wood
All these methods are efficacious, and
the creosote process is used with perfect
success in wharf and trestle building
all along the gulf coast. It's cost is the
chief drawback, q single stick of creo-
sote timber costing sometimes as much
as $50.-Mobile Register.

Eccentricities That Fasten Themselves to
