THE. LAW OF FINDING.
Against All save the owner the Find
er's Title II Perfect.

Against All Save the owner the Find
er's Title II Perfect.
Ii common law finding is qualified
source Of title to goods and chattels.
Briefly; the law is that the finder has a
clear title against all the world, except
ing the owner. The proprietor Of q
coach or a railroad car or ship has no
right to demand property found on his
premises. Such proprietors may make,
in regard to lost articles, regulations
which will bind their employees, but
they cannot bind the public.
The law of finding was declared by
the kings bench more than a hundred
years ago (when 1t was the supreme
court of common law in England) as
follows:
A person found wallet containing a
sum Of money OH a shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shopkeeper to be returned to the own
er. After three years, during which
the owner did not call for his property,
the finder demanded of the shopkeeper
the wallet and the money. The latter
refused to deliver them upon the
ground that they were found Oh his
premises. The finder then sued the
shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated
above, that, against all the world save
the owner, the title of the finder is per-
feet. The finder has indeed been held
to stand in the place of the owner.
Thus A prevailed in an action against
B, who found an article which A had
originally found, but subsequently lost.
/ The police have no especial rights in
regard to articles lost unless these
rights are conferred by statute. Receiv-
ers of articles found are trustees for
the owner or finder. In the absence of
special statute they have no power to
keep an article against the finder any
more than finder has to retain an ar
ticle against the owner.
A finder must, however, use every
reasonable means to discover the own
er Of found goods before appropriate
ing them to his own USE 1t has been
declared that If the finder knows the
owner or knows that he can discover
him he is guilty Of larceny in keeping
or appropriating to himself the arti-
cles found.

Fishing For Sheep.

When sheep were first introduced in
to Cornwall, England, a flock which
had strayed from the uplands on to
Gwithian sands We're caught there by
the tide and ultimately carried into
st. Ives bay during the night. There
the floating flock was observed from
the st: Ives fishing boats, whose crews,
never having seen sheep, took them
for some new kind Of fish and did their
best to secure them both by hooks and
lines and by netting Those they Sc
cured they brought home triumphant
~ next morning as a catch to which
even pilchards were as nothing I.

THE OLD SAILING SHIPS.
Why5 tbs wooden Ones Were Bette.
Than Those B1ilt Of Iron.

WIZ theF Wooden Ones Were BetteE
Than Those Bnilts Of Lyon.
The sailing ship when knew her in
the days Of her perfection was a sensi-
bic creature. When say her days of
perfection mean perfection Of build,
gear, seaworthy qualities and ease of
handling, not the perfection of speed.
That quality reached its highest ex-
cellence in the discovery Of hollow
lines and departed with the change Of
building material.
None of the iron ships Of yesterday
ever attained the marvels Of speed
which the seamanship Of men famous
in their time had obtained from their
wooden, copper sheeted predecessors.
the iron ship perfect, but no wit Of
man had managed to devise an efficient
coating composition to keep her bot
tom clean with the smooth cleanness
Of yellow metal sheeting After a
spell Of a few weeks at sea an iron
ship begins to lag as if she had grown
tired too soon. 1t is only her bottom
that is getting foul.
A very little affects the speed of
ship that is not driven on by an untir-
ing propeller. Often it is impossible to
tell what inconsiderate trifle puts her
off her stride. A certain mysterious
ness hangs around the quality Of speed
as it was displayed by the old sailing
ships commanded by competent sea-
men. In those days the speed was
still a matter for the seaman's care.
Therefore, apart from the laws, rules
and regulations for the good preserva-
ton Of his cargo, he was careful of his
loading. of what is technically called
the trim Of his ship. Some. ships sailed
best on an even keel, others had to be
trimmed quite one foot by the stern,
and have heard Of a ship that gave
her best speed on wind when so
loaded as to float a couple Of inches
by the head.-Joseph Conrad in Har
per's Weekly.
