Also to BE Suspended.

1t is told of Judge f. H. Gary that
before his election to the bench he
was associate counsel in the trial of
Il murder case in the circuit court
OF an adjoining county. The late
Colonel Josclyn. one of the ablest
advocates in his day, concluded a
no I effective argument to the Jury
III these words:
Gentlemen, do not come to a
conclusion during the appeal which
will be made III the closing argu-
mrnt. suspend Judgment until the
argument is closed. Suspend judg-
mcnt until the charge is given you
by tn" court. Suspend judgment I'M
til You have retired to the Jury
room. suspend judgment until You
have time to consider carefully
what the awful result of your YER
dict will be if you fail to acquit. "
The jury were bathed in tears,
but the effect Of the pcrOration was
materially lesscned by the words of
Prosecutor Gary, who deliberately
rose, and, as if continuing the argu-
ment, said, And finally, gentle
men, because it is necessary, sus-
pend the prisoner. - Chicago

Two Strange Languages.

Among In" QucerCSt languages
used 10y human kind throughout the
world ar" those of the Gomeros, i'll
hahitantS of one of the Canary
group OF islands, and the Kamcluns
of West Africa, according TO the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The Gomcro
whistles what he has to say to his
ncighbors, using both fingers and
lips 50 eNpertly as to express all the
signals that are required to make
the conversation Ineligible. \
kamerun man uses n drum. The
instrument is rather peculiar, its
surface being divided into uneven
halves, SO that when it is struck it
yields two different notes. With a
code in character not unlike the
taps of the Geographic system, the
people make this drum express every
syllable of their language a Kan
crun ChlrtUMn can summon any
one OF his subjects and ut the same
time intimatc the purposc for which
he is required by the mere use of
the drum.

Settled tho Ghost

DR.. Creighton, the bishop of Lon
don, has keen sense of humor.
Some time ago, when he was making
visitation of his diocese (Peterbor-
oughl, he was entertained in an old
manor house and slept i'll a room
supposed to be haunted. Next morn
ing at breakfast the bishop was ask
cd whether he had seen the ghost.
Yves, hr replied, with great So
lemnity, but | have laid the spirit.
1t will never trouble you again. "
On being further interrogated as to
what h" had done the bishop said,
"Thc ghost instantly vanished when
l asked for Il subscription toward
the restoration of Peterborough ca

\ Phenomenal Rainfall,

The most phenomenal rainfall re-
corded in the annals of Ohio took
place on tho 18TH day of August,
1861. Mr.. 5. b. Mcmillan, who gives
an account of this remarkable down.
pour, says that it extended over an
area of at least 100 square miles.
The total amount of water which
fell during the IL hours of precipita-
ton was 81. inches, and Of that
quantity l.3 inches fell in AZ hours.
What Is meant by a fall of SI1
inches of rain in 80 short space of
time will DO better understood when
the reader is informed that an inch
of rain means $4,000 gallons to the
acre. This immense quantity of wa
ter will weigh $4,000 pounds, or
100 tons.-St. Louis Republic.

sun photoCraphy.

Some interesting results of expert
ments in photographing tho solar
corona i'll daylight arc reported by
ID. +. Packer of Birmingham, Eng
land, which may be said to be un-
usual in their character. BY simply
placing screens of tin and lead foil
OH thin sheets of copper over wide
camera aperturos or, bottor still,
over pinholo aperture, he has sue
cecdcd III receiving impressions on
sensitive plates of tho corona alone,
tho sun itself appearing black, as in
total eclipse. Among the various
conclusions arrived at by tho ex-
pcrimcntcr one of the most notable
Is that of affirming the intimate oon-
nection of tho coronal streams with
sun spots and sun spot groups-in-
deed, according to Mr.. Packer, it
may be regarded as an axiom that
every sun spot has its coronal ray.
Besides this, he has detected q de-
cldcd heliacal structure in the radia-
lions. Judging from all tho appear
ances disclosed by these expert
ments, Mr.. Packer arrives at the
opinion that the corona is an cleo.

\ Cube of Gold From Heaven.

One of the most highly priced
relics belonging to the late shah of
Persia was small cube of pure gold
which tradition says fell from heav.
On during the time of Mohammcd
and which formerly belonged to the
prophet. Each side of this golden
cube mea ures 2lg inches and is

were the lawyers and scientists inter-

boiling was done under the same COM
ditions in which it is alleged the MUIR
der was committed, and the witnesses
of it say the test will disprove the states
theory. DR.. John H. Long, head pro-
fessor of the Northwestern medical COLI
lege, who was in charge of the expert.
ment, said that at the end of three
hours boiling the big bones were still
intact. This, he says, will have tend&

testimony on that point Is to the effect
that Luetgert did the work in two
