Justice Agnew drew to him the attention
If political leaders of the State. He was
associated with Cameron, Conkling and
Logan as a delegate-at-large in the mem
orable battle of the "3OG." All these
things were more in the nature of means
to an end rather than ends themselves.
For twenty years in county, supreme and
Federal courts he has had a most varied
practice as advocate or counselor, before
jury or the court, in original or appellate
jurisdiction. Mr.. Brown is associated
with w. n. Hensel in the practice Of
law. He was urged warmly for the
vacancy on the supreme bench of the
United States that was filled by the ap-
pointment of Justice Shiras. Mr.. Brown
is a bachelor and lives in a homestead
nine miles from Lancaster.

Science and Great Cities.

Professor Brewer, Of Yale Univer-
sity, in a recent address called atten-
ton to the interesting fact that at the
beginning of this century not a single
city in Christendom had so many as a
million Inhabitants. In 1900 Paris had
$4,000, and in 1901 London had S64,-
GOO. Great cities could not exist then
as the advance of science has enabled
them to exist to-day. Science has help
ed the cities not only by %conquering
pestilence, and teaching the laws Of
health, hut by enabling them to draw
their supplies from the remotest quar-
tiers of the earth, instead of being de-
pendent for food, as was the case at
the opening of the century. upon the
region of country Immediately sur.
rounding them.

Sven Hedin. the Norwegian traveller,
has discovered on the north side Of
Kuen Lun Mountains. and in the edge
of the great desert of Cobb, the ruins
of towns which he thinks were buried
by sandstOrms about 1000 years ago.
The largest town vas nearly two miles
and a half long, and Il canal connected
1t and the surrounding country with
the Kerija River. The houses had
walls of plated reeds covered with
mud and then coated with white plas-
ter, and on these plaster walls were
well-eXecuted paintings Of men, ami
mails and flowers. Poplars, apricots
and plum trees had evidently flOurished
there before the invasion of the sand.

A correspondent Of the Irish Natural
fst describes a curious scene which he
witnessed while watching his COWS in
the field. He noticed many wasps buzz
zing around the cows, and upon stop
ping to observe what they were about
he found that they We're catching and
killing flies. a white COW in particular
attracted the wasps apparently because
they could so easily see the flies that
alighted upon it. They invariably bit
off the wings, sometimes the legs, and
occasionally the heads Of the flies, and
carried the bodies away, probably to
feed their larvae. Three or four hun
dred flies were thus caught in about
twenty minutes from the backs of two
cows.
