How the Lost Mas Found.

A legal contemporary recentl'
mentioned what may fairly tx
called a romance of the law, says
tie Pail Mall Gazette. LORD
Langdale often referred to a curl
Gus case before himself illustrative
of the dangers OF judicial precipi-
tation. 1t turned on preSumptive
evidence of death. A sum of money
in court was subject to trust for a
particular individuals life, and aft
er his death was to be divided be
tween certain parties. These par
ties petitioned for payment OF the
fund to them on the ground that
the individual in question. then ten
ant for life. was dead. No positive
evidence could be adduced of his
death, but it was said that his death
must be presumed inasmuch as the
evidence showed that he had gone
abroad some twenty or thirty years
ago under circumstances of diff
Guilty, and that no human being
had since heard any tidings of him.
This did not satisfy Lord Langdale,
and he desired the case to stand
over, intinlatirg that if further evil
dence could be produced to corrob-
crate the already strong presumP-
ton he would attend to it. Addit-
ional affidavits were accordingly
filed, after a lapse of some time,
and the case then appeared so strong
that he made tine order for division
of the fund as prayed. The order,
when drawn W according to his
lordship's directions, was carried TO
TIE proper Office to be entered, and
the clerk whose duty it was to en-
ter it turned out to be the very in
dividual on whose presumed death
the order for payment was made.
It appeared that he had had reason
to leave the country for many years,
and when he returned he lived I'M
der a false name ard revealed him.

his right till he saw the order.

Limitations Of the Balloon.

The feat of the Count de Ia Vaulx
and the Count d'Outremont in
crossing the English channel for the
first time in balloon does not Al
first glance seem remarkable. The
distance travelled from Paris to Hull
was but goo miles; the open chan
mel crossing. on a direct line be-
tween those points is but 90 miles,
In a period only about thrice as
long balloon has travelled from
Paris far into Russia, a distance OF
over 1900 miles.
But Continental winds are quite
different from those which play
about great islands and open water.
Often as the channel crossing has
