In stealing case which was tried,
In the county court ct Sylvania. tsa.,:
9 very extraordinary witness was In.
troduced-the first. Of Ills Kind that
has ever appeared In our court house.
This was q dominick rooster. Two
negro boys were prosecuted for steal
ing chickens from another negro. The
prosecutor proved that his chickens
were missing, and he claimed to have
identified them in the yard Of the &c
cused. It then devolved on the latter
to prove their ownership. One of our
brightest young lawyers was conduct
ing the defense. and he very inge-
niously introduced in evidence the
above mentioned dominick rooster,
which belonged to the defendants, In
order to show the similarity in APP
pearance between his roostership and
the suspected chickens. This rooster
was lord Of the barnyard on the place
where the two boys lived, and the dis
puted chickens were so very much,
like him in color. and other ways that
no one doubted they were his lineal
descendants. The rooster, when put
on the stand, began at once to crow

The Momentum OF Steamships.
Railway Review.)

The motion of a steamship on calm
sea IS so smooth and steady that one
hardly realizes the tremendous momen-
tum Of the vessel under his feet.
A collision, even after the engines have
been slowed down, gives q startling
revelation of the energy Of motion. The
time required to arrest the motion Of a
ship and bring It to a standstill can
be accurately determined by calculations.
These calculations have been recently
made for several well-known ships.
To stop the Etruria, whose displace-
ment Is $3.50 tons. horse power 14,31. and
speed 2.1S knots an hour. two minutes
and forty-seven seconds are required, and
during the process of stopping the ship
will forge ahead 2.4e4 feet. or nearly one
half a mile. The United States cruiser
Columbia, with displacement of 1850
tons, 1891 horse power. and a speed
Of 22.S knots, can be stopped In two min
utes and fifteen seconds. and within a
space Of 2,1H feet.
