ficient oxidation, which of itself is suf
ficent to derangc the normal brain
functions. The crowded rooms at
hotels are either overheated and badly
ventilated, or cold and noisy The time
for retiring and rising varies, and the
usual habits of the juryman are
changed in every respect. His aCCus-
toned food, sleep, and exercise, and his
manner of thinking and the subject of
his thoughts, all are broken up. He is
asked to follow an intricate chain Of
reasoning, and discriminate the errors,
and told that this is true and that is
true. and that the law should lead him
to some other point. He is llattered
and his pride is reused to do the best
he can. He grows more incapaCitated
daily as the evidence aCCumulates, and
his system becomes deranged. Then,
in despair, he will suddenly form some
conclusion, guided by fancy for some
attorney or some remark by the judge.
Perhaps a stubborn member of the jury
has formed a conviction on the first day
of the trial. and all the rest of the
time is passed unconscious of evidence,
pro and con, and in the jury-room his
very stubbornness wins.
I'm reality, the average juryman be-
comes more inCapacitated to rise above
his prejudices, or to reason impartially,
every day he is confined to the court
room. At the end of long trial he is
utterly unable to form any new views,
and nothing remains but his old
prejudices, and these are often more
fixed than ever

CALLED Him BACK
Best Information Is That Kruger
Resigned the Transvaal
Presidency,
But That Upon Strong Assur-
ance of Confidence by the
Volksraad,
Notwithstanding Differences of
Opinion, He Withdrew the
Resignation.

CAPETowN, July 26.-Advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that President Kruger of the South
African Republic has resigned.
LONDON, July 26.--Reports regarding
the resignation of President Paul Kru-
ger of the South African Republic are
conflicting, but according to the best
information he actually resigned his Of
fee conditionally. The Volksraad while
maintaining its opposition to President
Kruger's views ON the dynamite con-
cession, has given its assurance that it
still has the utmost confidence in Pres
ident Kruger, and it is believed that be
has withdrawn his resignation.
AS to the difference of opinion on the
question of the dynamite concession,
General P. j. Joubert, vice president of
the republic, and the majority of the
volksraad favor cancellation of the
monopoly, while President Kruger sup
ports it. The minority of the volks-
raad desires to buy out the company.

Pioneers In Alpine Climbing.

The professors Of the Swiss univer-
sites were the pioneers in Alpine
climbing. But it would be a mistake
to imagine that the pioneers were al
ways enticed into the solitudes by love
Of nature, through sense Of scenic
grandeur and beauty, as these have
been understood since Ruskin opened
the eyes Of men. One Of them spent
many season in searching for traces
Of the dragon Of fable. Another, as Mr..
Gribble has pointed out in weekly
contemporary, went aloft to test the
truth Of the tradition that the top Of
Pilatus held Pontius Pilates body.
Gesner's feeling for mountain scenery
must have been somewhat Of the Rus
kinian order. But Gesner was an ex-
ceptional person.
The Japanese have a proverb relat-
ing to one Of their most famous noun
tain tops. "There are two kinds Of
foSls-those who have not seen it, and
those who have seen it twice." Until
the nineteenth century modern Euro
peans appear to have been pretty gen.
orally Of that way Of thinking. Ninety
years ago some Of them painted the
