600 inhabitants, but at the census Of
1890 there were three cities In this
class. On the other hand, there are
five cities In 1900 with population Of

| following yllabus of opinion:
The circuit judge of Que circuit may
enforce specific performance of a con-
tract to convey land situated in anoth-
! er circuit.
THE memorandum or note required
ing, may be in the form of one or
more receipts or letters.
Parole evidence is admissible to To-
cate the land referred to in the writ
ten memorandum of the contract.
when the terms of contract with
in the statute of frauds are set forth
in the several writings, all of which
are signed by the party to be charged,
such writings need not refer to each
other. 1t is sufficient if they all refer
to the same transaction as shown by
internal evidence and condolences
through inspection and comparison.
when the evidence shows a COM
plete contract, all the proved terms OF
which are in writing, signed by the
party to be charged, it is not to be
presumed that there were other terms
not found in the writing.
"A contract to convey may be en-
forced, though the form of the deed
is not specifically agreed upon, and
though the wife of the vendor is NOT
bound to release her inchoate right of
DOVER" ...
Justice Galbraith, in dissenting from
his colleagues. takes it that the men,
bers of the court practically agree as
to the law governing this case, and
that the principal point Of difference is
as to the proper application Of the law
to the facts"
His opening remarks are as follows:
Il am not able to assent to the doc
trine announced in the majority opin-
ion, particularly that concerning the
principal and last proposition discuss
ed, l. e., the sufficiency of the men,
oranda recited to take the agreement
out of the operation of the statute of
frauds. This opinion forcibly illus
trates the simplicity and effectiveness
of a system of inference, reference
terminating an uncertain and indef-
mite contract, and also shows how the
operation of the system results in set
ting aside and annulling a statute by
judicial decision
The dissenting justice reviews at
considerable length the evidence, for
the purpose of upholding his view al
ready stated to the effect that an
agreement was not proved, sufficiently
definite and certain to be the subject
of decree OF specific performance In
a court of equity. He says, at IS very
difficult to understand how the court
can take the receipt and letter-less
definite and certain than the original
aSreement-and figure out an enforcea-
BILE contract" In conclusion he says:
II am firmly convinced that the de-
cree of the Circuit Court appealed
from ought to be reversed and the bill
dismissed"

RED RAIN AND YELLOW RAIN.

The peasants of Italy, Sicily and
Western Austria were recently fright
ened half out of their lives by fall of
blood rain" in spite of the fact that
this phenomenon is not a rare one in
that part of Europe. Sometimes the
raindrops are so red that they stain
the objects on which they fall. When
this is the case the color is due to a
scarlet seaweed that is picked up by
the wind from the north coast of AZ
rica and carried up into the clouds,
where it is dissolved. a red rain is al
so caused by the wind lifting large
quantities of red sand from the Desert
of Sahara, and carrying it into the up
per air, whence 1t falls with rain.
A yellow rain often falls In Norway
and Sweden, and also In Northern Cam
ada, In the spring, There are vast
pine forests In those countries, and
when the trees are in bloom the wind
often takes up the yellow pollen from
the flowers, and as Il IL dissolved by
the moisture OF the clouds II tints the
falling drops yellow. This Is what IL
sometimes called n rain OF sulphur.
