ARE TRIALS BY JURY TOO LONG?

FUDGE LEvENTRlTT contends that mos, OF
the trials In our courts are altogether too
long and that much time Is wasted be-
~ cause great mass OF unmportant testi-
w mony is taken and hours are spent In the
examination Of witnesses who beiog
rather than help to make clear the matter In
dispute.
Two notable cases may be recalled for the pur-
Doee OF illustration. No one who read tho daily
reports Of the securing OF the jury in the Mollneux
case and the weeks that were devoted to the tei-
ttmouy Of experts In handwriting can doubt thai,
much time was wasted. On the other hand. no
eos who read the report OF the trial OF Olga Meth
creole can doubt that much testimony that ought
70 have been heard In court was not heard at all
eeleIy because the trial Judge did not deem Il
nscessary. There were score o, witnesses In
the Nethersole case whose testimony by RICH,
should have been taken.
But are not the judges, rather than the lawyers
% blame!
Perhaps the learned gentlemen who make up
tas judiciary Of New York might facilitate mat

the day. The regular hour for the opening Of the
courts now Ia 1890 o'clock, and It Is usually II

A Novel Voting Machine.


A novel voting machine was tested
the other day at the government print
ing Office in Rome. 1t is the work Of
DR.. G. Trespioli, well-known scient-
list, and his brother Faustus. A voter
goes to the polling booth and the OFF,
cial in charge cancels his name on the
register and puts in it's place stamp
bearing the number of the ward, and
a progressive number, which he OBJ
tains by consulting and setting the ma
chine in operation. Until this number
is obtained the voter can do nothing,
for the machine would not act. When
he learns his number all he has to do
is to step on the pedal of the machine
and press on the ticket bearing the
name of the candidate he prefers.
Then, after he has removed his foot
from the pedal, he sees under a plate
of glass his ticket go directly into the
ballot box, and thus his duty is done.
The machine is in the form OF box.
and it contains scrolls Of cardboard on
which are printed the names of the va
rious candidates. After each voter has
maue his selection ticket is cut from
one of the scrolls, and passes into the
ballot box, which is constantly revolv-
ing. When the days work Is over the
ballot box is opened and the votes are
counted in the usual manner.

viii Make the Blind See.

The Russian electrician, Paul Stiens,
is now in London, exhibiting an inven-
tion by which he claims he can restore
who were born blind. STEMS idea is
to supply a substitute for the lens OF
the eye by the aid of electricity. I'm
mediately the apparatus is brought into
contact with the body of the individual
operated upon," said he," as in the
camera, it focuses the rays of light
from the object to the brain, and sight
is given. Objects are clearly seen.
They are not inverted, but appear in
their proper form. My apparatus sim
ply constitutes substitute for the lens
of the eye." Experiments seem to bear
out STEMS statements. He claims also
that his invention will enable the dear
to hear perfectly. You know" he said,
that even though the drum or tym-
panic membrane is at fault, If the small
bones called the incus malleus and
stapes are present, man is enabled to
hear by means of a plug which is put
in his right ear. In fact, such plug
is called false drum. Now, with the
aid of my apparatus, when the men,
brane and bones are at fault, hearing
is given by application of my apparatus
to the surface of the body. The BODY
is good conductor of the electric cur
rent and when the apparatus is in use

nerves to the resonating chambers and
along the eustachian tubes to the aud

to the center of hearing in the brain"
Asked what happened when the audi
tory nerve was at fault, Mr.. Stiens said
another nerve would gradually be edu-
Gated to take its place.

Private Mail Boxes.

The postoffice department has or
dered that in all cities and towns hav-
ing free delivery the postal system
shall be extended to include house-to-
house collections, and the system Is
also extended to all rural free delivery
routes. One of the requirements, says
the St. Louis Dispatch, which the
citizen must observe is to supply his
own mail box Postmasters are In
structed to give information about the
boxes and encourage householders to
put them up. The government has
made special recommendation of GER
tain kind of mail box represented in
the accompanying cut. This box is a
unique contrivance fitted with auto
matte signal flags so that the passing
carrier can see at a glance if there Is
any mail deposited in it for him to col
lect. 1t is also receptacle for deliv-
cred mail, and different colored flag
apprises the householder when the car
rier leaves any mail in the box One
of the flags is white and the other red.

GRAVEYARD Studies.

In his opening address on "Geolog-
ical Time" to the geology section of the
British association, Sir Archibald
Geikie urged upon town biologists and
those in the country who have no OPP
portunities of venturing far afield, that
they may do good service by carefully
scrutinizing ancient buildings and
monuments. In the churchyards they
will find much to occupy and interest
them, not, however, like Old Mortality,
in repairing the tombstones, but in
tracing the ravages of the weather
upon them and in obtaining definite
measures of the rate of their decay.
Sir Archibald himself, twenty years
ago, studied in the graveyards and Gem
eteries of Edinburgh the rate at which
marble gives way in such moist cli-
mate as that of Scotland.

The West indies Hurricane.

The United States photographic
dee has tracked out the late destructive
West Indian hurricane. 1t was first en-
countered on August at point near
latitude IL degrees north, further east
than any tropical storm hitherto re-
ported to the photographic office. The
center of the storm reached Porto Rico
on the 9Th, Hayti on the 9th, Bahamas
on the 18th, and Jupiter, Fla, on the
18th. 1t then continued parallel to the
United States coast, where hurricanes
were reported by vessels until the 10Th.
When last reported, on the 21st, it was
near latitude 40 degrees north and Ion
gitude 60 degrees west, much weakened
in character. The life of this hurricane
is stated to have been longer than any
hitherto reported to the photographic
office.

which indicates that there is mail for
the people in the house. Dropping a

the red flag, which is the signal to the
passing carrier. It is large enough for
the largest-sized letter, and has sepa-
rate spaces for papers and packages.

New Fire-Escape Truck.

No great improvement in fire ladders
has been made for some time, the hook
and ladder truck having retained its
present character for many years. In
a new and apparently practicable pat
ented improvement in fire-escape
trucks the familiar ladder is replaced
by telescoping extensible steel shaft
which is pneumatically extended, re-
sembling when extended an elongated
pole with many sections. At the top
of this steel column is bracket arm
from which swings a basket supported
on ropes, in which the fire-bound VIC
tins make their descent to the ground.
Provision is also made for fitting the
steel shaft so as to throw the basket
directly in front of the windows where
it is required. With a fireproof basket
and rope it is possible for women and
children to make their escape from the
upper stories of blazing buildings un-
