Poetry and Mathematics.

1t is often the case that great mathemat
ical minds are incapable of approaching
poetry. There was once mathematical tn
tor in one of our great universities who was
in the habit of boasting that he neither
knew nor cared to know anything about
poets or poetry, and considered it all "a lot
of impractical rot.
A certain brother tutor was very anx
ious to convert him to the admiration OF
dne poetry, and by way of accomplishing
this gave him the famous Charge of the
Light Brigade" to read.
The mathematician took it up and be
gan to read aloud, thus:
Half "A league, half league, half {
league Then he banged the book down
exclaming impaticntly, well, if the foo
meant Il league and Il half, why on eartl
didn't he say soY'-London Tit-Bits.

The central Australian aborigine is the
living representative of stone age, who
still fashions his spearhoads and knives
from flint or sandstone, and performs the
most daring surgical operations with
them. His origin and history are lost in
the gloomy mists of the past. He has no
written records and few oral traditions.
In appearance he is a naked, hirsute saw
age, with n type Of features occasionally
pronouncedly Jewish. He Is by nature
light hearted, merry, and prone to laugh
ter; splendid mimic, supple jointed, with
an unerring hand that works in perfect
unison with his eye, which Is as keen as
that of an eagle He has never been
known to wash. He has no private own
ership of land, except as regards that
which is not overcarefully concealed about
his own person. He cultivates nothing,
but lives entirely on the spells of the chase.
And although the thermometer frequently
ranges from 10 degrees to 100 degrees f..
in "a hours, and his country Is teeming
with furred game, he makes no use of the
skins for clothing but goes about during
the day and sleeps in the open at night
perfectly nude. He builds no permanent
habitation and usually camps where night
or fatigue overtakes him
Above all, he is absolutely untamable.
You may clothe and care for him for
years, when suddenly the demon of unrest
takes possession. He throws off all his
clothing and plunges into the trackles'
depths of his native bush, at once rcyertini
| to his old and hideous customs and wher
sated, after months of privation he vii
return again to clothing and civilization
only to repeat the performance later on

Last night a lamp tipped over and it came

This is the sentiment of quite number in

COLLECTING A JUDGMENT
Action to Force Sale of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal.
Charges Set Forth Against the Unlaw.
ful Management Of the Balti-
more and ohio,

Another attempt to sell the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal is to be made, bill for
that purpose having been filed in the cir
cult court at Hagerstown Saturday.
The suit was brought by counsel for the
administrator Of the estate Of George s..
Stubblefeld, deceased, who in 1865 recover
ed a judgn ent against the canal company
for nearly $4,000, and it Is to enforce this
judgment that the suit was filed.
The bill asks that decree be passed an
nulling SO much of the decree passed in
the consolidated equity cases in October 2,
1890, as suspending the operation Of the
decree of sale, and also that the order
of court in the cases passed on July 2, 1884,
by Judge Edward Stake, extending the
time of suspension of the original decree OF
sale for six years from May l, 1893. may
be reviewed, and that a decree for the sale
of the canal and all its works be passed
to satisfy the liens thereon
The bill alleges that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has been enabled
on account of previous decisions OF the
court to operate the waterway as a COM
mon carrier well its railway, ana mas
thus been able indirectly to do what under
its charter it could not legally do directly
The bill further states that the recent
freshet has caused damage amounting TO
between $4,000 and 100000 to the canal:
and charges that the conditions imposed
DN Judge Alvey : decree nave pteli VIZ
lated 1t also alleges that the Chesapeake
and Ohio Transportation Company, wen
whom the trustees at the time they filed
their petition for an extension OF time Tor
the sale of the cann claimed they mad en-
tered into agreement by which the
revenues of the canal would be increased
100000 per year, is corporation which
never existed except on paper. and the
sole object of its formation was to fur
n.sh an apparently responsible bidder to
the trustees in guaranteeing net revenues
anG which was used in the petition in sup
pert of the prayer for an extension of
time: that the court was induced by the
Baltimore and Ohio and the trustees act
ing ncminally in the interests of the 1S+4
bonGholders, but really in the sole inter-
ests OF the Baltimore and Ohio, to pass
the decree on July 30. 1894, ratifying the
contract with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Transportation Company and extending
the time of the possession by the trustees
to the canal for six years, and that on ac
count of the depressed price of coal in the
markets the trustees cannot charge tolls
on the coming business of the canal that
will even pay the running expenses.
