MR.. MANDRAke's SETTLEMENT.

tho Judges Revelation.


tho Judges Revelation.
Judge, +" said Mr.. Mandrake, IL don't
see how it Is possible for n man in your
position to always avoid bias Now, that
case which was just tried before you, for
instance, struck me MS being n very much
mixed up affair, yot your charge to tho
jury sounded just as if you hadn't heard "A
word Of tho evidence on either side
Did ity' replied Judge ScrogCins
I'm glad to hear that"
Yes, MIR. Mandrake went on, land
That's what makes mo wonder for the at
torneys for tho defense were So far superior
to those for tho prosecution that don't
see how it was possible for you to hear
them and yet be unsworved."
81 didn t hear them" said tho Judge.
Didn't hear themr
mo. That's the secret of success on
tho bench. y judges first duty to tho
public, after no assumes Office, is to learn
the art of pretending to liston while not
doing so. Let tho lawyers fool tho iurics.
II they can, but thcr arguments must
never penetrate to the minds of tho Judges
II 1T were otherwise, we might us we'll shut
up our courts nc once"
but, that being the case" said Dir
Mandrake, why have jurics mt ALP
ITO satisfy the people," Judge Scrog-
gins explained, and to give the lawyers
\ chance. Without jurics tho folks who
go to law would not believe that they were
getting their moneys worth, and the law.
ycTS would soon be driven out of business.
Mr. Mandrake then hurried away to the
man whom ho had threatened to sue for
$4,000 and offered To settle for 90 cents on
tho dollar without bringing the case TO
trial
But, in spite of the fact that he cano ont
of it with 81 500 i'll cash, his lawyer told
nm that ho WAS a hlnmcd fool.-Cloye-

FINDING THE LONGITUDE.
How This Calculation Is Made on q We,
sci at Sea.

The clock used on shipbonrd to show tho
local time cannot DO used for computing
longitude, because the vessel changes hei
meridian from day to day on account OF
calling cast or west. Consequently the
navigator :s obliged to keep turning the
hands of the clock either ahead or back a {
enc ratio of minute for every 10 miles OF
longitude sailed TO the eastward or west
ward.
1t is the practice of the navigator to call
Eight bells!" every day when he observes
tho sun to cross tho meridian and to i'm.
mediatcly turn the hands of the clock to
IL, but as Inc cannot determine tho noon
point exactly you will understand that the
ships clock at its best is not perfectly re.
liable. Remember that four minutes of
timo is equal to ono whole degree, or &C
miles, of longitude.
Let us suppose that by an observation of
tho sun VIC figured out that when the alti.
tude was measured the time at tho shin
was $3.50 O'Clock in the afternoon Now,
ut the instant that the height Of the sur
was determined the chronometcr repre-.
senting Greenwich time showed sos

Therefore we realize that the ship Is in

Building Boom Strikes

Many Houses Being Ereetad
Oscar Barski Who Was Convicted or
Stealing Two Quarters or Beef
Fined s25 and Costs.

New houses are already going up In
Bollman's addition to Laurium with
wonderful rapidity. notwithstanding
the fact that the lots were put on sale
only few months ago. no less than four
dwellings are already well under way
and the purchasers of many of the other
lots are anxious TO build on their prop
erty but cannot until the land is leveled.
John Manley has started TO erect a neat
residence on Amygdaloid street on his
new lot, as has also MIR. c. A, Vanquist,
who owns the lot aoj joining Mr.. Maney's.
Both these houses will be comfortable
dwellings, On Ahmeek street ground
has been broken for new homes for Aug
ust Koskella and Mat Mustonen. Mr..
Stephen HALEY has the frame up for his
new home on Amygdaloid street and
there are quite few more who intend
building shortly. Although the building
season has not yet fairly opened in Laur-
ium, throughout the city men are at
work excavating for new homes.
Oscar Barski was up before Judge
Murphy yesterday charged with larceny.
Barski has been living during the winter
in the woods and when he came TO town
he generally purchased lot OF provisions
for his home. He is an unmarried man
and bached on an old farm house by him
self. Some time during the winter Fred
Lide who resides in Laurium, claimed
that Barski stole two quarters OF beef
from him. Lide claimed that the beef
was kept in a cool building adjoining
the house and that be knew that Barski
took them. Barski claimed that became
to town once and purchased the two
quarters, but afterward got drunk and
that he was not entirely responsible for
what he did. At any rate when brought |
up he pleaded not guilty TO the charge
and wanted a Jury trial which took |
place yesterday. The jury found Barskl
guilty and the Judge imposed a fine of |
S25 and costs which he reluctantly paid. |
1t is figured that the baef cost him about |
81 pound, Attorney Streeter appeared |
