Londoners Who Make Living By De-
ceiviuR the Conrts.
A new form Of fraud has recently
come to light in the precincts Of the law
courts.
II have often noticed" said we'll
known barrister, that when the names
OF the special jurymen are called at the
beginning of a case one or two Of them
fail to respond. Then when the names
have been repeated two or three times
IN tone of voice that ought to be audi
bic on the Emba nkment the apparently
reluctant jurymen arise from seat
quite close to the jury box and take their
places.
Il took the trouble to inquire into the
matter, for it struck me that men who
took so long to hear their own names
must be quite too deaf to attend to their
duties as jury1nen.
Il found that acting as special jury
men has almost become a profession.
Those men had simply been waiting in
court to earn the special juryman's fee
of guinea. AS soon, as they find that
special juryman is late they step into
the box, answer to his name and take
his place. When the rea, Simon Pure
arrives he sees that the court has opened,
and, shuddering at the pains and penal
ties he may have incurred, goes away
and says as little about it as possible I
find that there are quite a number of
men earning a living in this way."-Lon-

An investigation was made and as a re-

ton which might be found in the tab

partment that they substitute for the re-
jected tablets others of standard purity.

ALCHEMY OF FROST.
Moisture Plays an Important Part IL
IT'S DEVELOPMENT.

Moisture Plays an Important Part in
It's Development.
Commonly boar frost is described as be-
ing frozen moisture, but this is not an
adequate description of an agent that has
the power of adjoining in few hours
such prosaic objects as gate posts and
dustbns with all the trappings of fairy
land. Moisture is, indeed, the fabric
out Of which all this feathery whiteness
IS built up, but, although it seems some
times as If it is distributed in very
caprlcious manner. there are, neverthe-
less, certain definite circumstances which
cause the boar frost to settle down Oh
some surfaces rather than others. On
any cold and frosty morning it will usual
~ be found that those surfaces that are
the best radiators Of heat are also those
that are the most successful in collect
ing boar frost. It is not always real
lied, however, that all objects are con-
tinually radiating heat, so that, no mat
ter how much they may receive from the
sun, they are constantly trying to get rid
OF it. A fern leaf or a stone may, per-
haps, receive generous supplies Of heat
during the day, but as soon as night
comes it hurries to spend or radiate it,
and the object that is quickest at this
work will the soonest become covered in
Hosi liost. everyone mas observed now
the moisture from the air will settle on
the outside of a glass Of cold water
brought suddenly into a warm room. A
similar process takes place in the open
air, so that as the currents Of moist
air travel across surfaces that are very
cold they pay tribute in drops of vapor,
which in warm weather takes the form
Of dew and in cold of hoar frost. Mois-
ture, therefore, plays a very important
part in the development of these boar
frost pictures; but there must not be too
much of it. Some Of the most delicate
designs occur during the prevalence of
mist and haze, and in towns, especially,
it is no uncommon thing for choking
brumous fog to be in some degree COM
pensated for by subsequent display of
cOpiOuS boar frOst.-knOWledge

All England rejoices that the fear of

The Norman duke. marching from

ground which lies within the enclosure
of Battle estate. So stubborn was the
defense that the future of the day was
uncertain till William ordered his archerS

Harold's eye and he fell. with q few Of
