The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous.
COLOMBIA A LAW UNTO HERSELF
STRANGE STATUTES HOLD SWAY ON THE rsrHMUs WHERE DEATH PENALTY BUT WHERE IMPRISONMENT WORSE. t

New York Times.
 A citizen of Bogota once told an Ameri- can visitor that the civil code of the United States of Columbia was in every way the equal of the historic Code of Napoleon" Be this as it may, Colom- bian law in practice infrequently varies considerably from Colombian law in the ory.
 To cite an instance: A short time ago man was shot in one of the hotels be- yond the market place of Bogota. The
 matter was turned over to the police, who rested, literally speaking. on the case. At last it was reported that an Italian who had done the shooting was in hiding in canon some miles from the city. A body of police, armed with Remingtons. was despatched to capture him. From an emi- hence they saw him busied about the brushwood shack he had built himself. Without a word they opened fire, and the man fell, riddled with bullets. A rope was fastened to the heels of the corpse, and it was dragged over the rough road for half a mile, until the procession reach ed a spot where a cart could be obtained for its transportation.
 The body was cast into a hole in the pauper cemetery, and then the trial be- gan The chief witness against the dead defendant was the man who had heen hit. and who was up and about the day after the shooting.
 Shooting Women Commendable.
 Another case in point is that of a sol- dier who. while on guard duty over the unfortunates of the chain gang, was an- noyed by the ridicule of number of wo- men, He finally raised his rifle and fired at the most persistent of his prosecutors. The bullet went through her forehead. killing her instantly; struck another wo- man in the line of fire, and shattered the leg of third. Both of these women sub sequently died The soldier was promoted to a sergeancy for his vigilance.

No for mai charge ever was made against them, but for months they were confined in damp, nolsome vault, whose only means of ventilation was a narrow slit looking seaward. Through this the sight of Old Glory flying at the masthead of the ships in the harbor was to be had, adding an- other misery to their confinement. Ulti- mately they were put "in liberty" but never received any indemnity for their sufferings.

THE HYDRosTATIo PARADOX.
Queer hings That Water Will Do
 Under Pressure.

New York Press.
 Of all the wonders of nature, the chief. perhaps. is the principle of the hydros- fity of a perfect liquid. however small may be made to balance any weight. however great. It renders the brain all most dizzy to comprehend the fact that A vertical pipe one inch in diameter and ten feet long fliled with water will exert precisely the same pressure at It's base as will another pipe of the same diameter twenty miles long. or 1000 miles, laid at cal depth of water also ten feet. The mind reels at the thought that pres sure of one pound through a pipe one inch square becomes pressure of 1000 pounds again in a pipe with an area of i,O0) square inches.
 The foregoing paragraph was suggest ed by this:
 Dear rip: A vertical pipe filled with water to a height which would give a inch at the base. the area of said pipe being equivalent to one square inch, opens at the lower end Into sealed barrel filled with water. A bets B that the head of the barrel will not be broken out by the pressure of twenty pounds from the pipe Who wins7
 Rather clumsily put. But look up the principle of the hydrostatic paradox. As suminR that the head of the barrel is upward or outward pressure against it is 5.OS0 pounds. If 1t isn't built up to withstand that pressure the probabilities are that 1t would be broken out

 No Capital Punishment.
 There Is no capital punishment in Co., lombia. Ten years Is the maximum im- prisonment even for the slayer of dozen men. The only men who ever get the maximum penalty, however are foreign CTS.

 Every effort was made by the Consul to obtain a diminution of the sentence, but nothing came of 1t. Tn less than half the period of his sentence the captain. orig inally a robust, healthy man, was dead. The case of Captain Harwood Is a cele- brated one on the Isthmus.
 The funerals of Colombian prisoners are, as may be imagined, frequent. They are always conducted at dead of night Tha interment takes place in some desolate, weed-grown spot. The coffin Is carried by the dead mans cell mates. preceded by a man with a lantern. An armed guard brings up the rear.
 The Colombian marriage laws are pecu- liar to the country. The following ex- tracts may prove interesting:
 Article 34-Marriage contracted accord ing to the rites of the Catholic religion of itself annuls dpso jute) a purely civil marriage previously entered into by the contracting parties with other persons"
 Article 36-The man who, having mar ried civilly. marries subsequently, another woman. according to the rites of the maintenance for the first wife and her children so long as she does not marry according to Catholic rites"
 It was the passage of these enactments in 1888 that caused the rebellion of the Liberal Party and showed the strength of the Church of Rome in Colombia.
 Under the laws of Colombia the press is theoretically at full liberty to discuss any subject, but recent laws inhict se- were penalties on the publishing of aliy article rehecting on the church.
