lecidei by Jury

1t is not uncommon for an English Judge
to try and raise laugh-and strange to
say he usually succeeds-by affecting an
infantile ignorance of all things but purely
judicial matters. Sir Henry Hawkins not
long ago asked in court, "What is hayn"
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says that in a recent libel suit a
strange affectalon of judicial ignorance
was evinced by Lord Russell. Sir Edward
Clarke read, from a book of the plaintiffs,
a description of Chopin's lumber shaded
head"
"What shaded" asked Lord Russell.
"Umber," replied Sir Edward.
"Yes, but what is that?" persisted the
chief justice.
At this point the feelings of the jury were
too much for them. With unanimtv
reminiscent of the "Pirates of Penz ance,"
they chanted in expostulatory chorus,
"Brown, my lord, brown," and the trial
went on.

A slim young man with high standing

Eve Wa, Two Hundred Feet Hie

The Talmud says (see Baring-Gould's
Legend OF the Patriarch and Prophets)
that Adam was SO tall that he ''coud stand
with his feet on the earth and his head in
heaven and that "God pressed him down
at the time of the fall" The Arabs say
that Adam was 3l2 feet high, and that
Eve was exactly 200 feet from the soles of
her feet to the crown of her head. These
same people also claim that Ewes tomb
may now be seen at Jiddah, a seaport of
Mecca. and that it's great size (2O6k feet
in length and 17A in breadth) bears them
out in the assertion that sho was the most
gigantic woman the earth has ever known
or will ever know. On each Sd of June,
the anniversary of the death of Abel, ac-
cording to Arabian tradition, the door of
the temple which has been built at the
entrance of this gigantic tomb of our first
mother stays open all night in spite of the
efforts of the keepers to close it, apd the
most terrible cries of anguish issue from
the sepulcher of the giantess, who has been
sleeping more than 5000 years.-St. Louis

Mechanical skill of no ordinary charac-

boom, the spar which has now become so
noted in fnarine architecture, advantage
being gained, in exieancies, by beginning
in the center and rivcting the plates toward
both ends. In the most recent instance of
this construction there were four lines of
angle iron braces at equal distances from
each other and running the whole length
Of the boom, giving it good bracing, the
face to the angles being slightly curved to
take the concave shape OF the interior of
the boom, these angles consisting of Sec
tions measuring on an average some fif-

one and one-half inches in length and
bolted with steel. These laps are irregular,
in order that two joints Or moro may not
be opposite each other and thus cause

THE GREYHoUND's MIsHAP.
The steamer Disabled by = Broken

At 10 O'Clock yesterday the Greyhound
was speeding along at good rate ON it's
return trip from Tacoma, when suddenly
a water feed-pipe, between the pump and
the water tank, burst. The boat al that
time had just turned Browns point. which
is about eight miles distant from Tacoma.
The breaking of this pipe made IL impos-
sble TO feed water into the boiler. and as
1t Was dangerous 10 proceed under such
circumstances, IL was deemed best 10 stop.
In order TO prevent possible bursting of
the boilers. the fires were banked and the
machinery stopped.
The Mul;uomah was about 500 or GO
yards behind the Greyhound. A signal OF
distress was hoisted on the disabled
steamer, and the Multnomah came to her
relief at once. As soon as the situation
was known on board the Multnomah a
line was fastened TO the Greyhound. and
she was towed to her dock in this city.
where she arrived at 30 p. m.
