A lawsuit which makes Jarndyce VS..
Jarndyce seem like a summary pro-
ceeding is still pending in Spain, and
is probably the longest suit in point
OF time in the history of the world.
The case. which is between the Mar
quis de Viana and the Count Torres
de Cabrera, began in 1911, and arose
out of a dispute over a pension. The
sum in controversy would have
reached fabulous millions had not four
centuries of attorneys, baristers and
court officials taken considerate and
efectual measures to prevent its at
tanning unwieldly proportions. In 1871
the case was deemed just about ripe
for a decision, but, for one reason or
another, it has been continuously post
poned. However, the judges have
now become apprehensive lest the case
run over into its fifth century, and,
as this might reflect upon the prOmpti-
tude of Spanish procedure, word has
gone forth that the wheels of justice
are to be accelerated to a burst of
speed that will secure the giving of a
judgment within a period not to ex-
coed two years longer.-Law Notes.

Jersey City Helped,

AS soon as the fire was discovered q
general alarm was semi out, bringing
TO the spot the six engines and all the
trucks or the Hoboken Department.
Mayor Lankering telephoned to Jer-
sey City headquarters and in response
to his call for help three engines were
at once dispatched to the fire.
Larry In the morning the Mayor said
II a but for that timely assistance
from the sister city the ruin wrought
by the fire would have tcen many
me greater, embracing probably both
the Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd properties.
The outbreak of the fire was also a
signal for a call of the employees of the
Hamburg-American Line to their sta
lions, assigned to them for just such
emergencies. A prominent part in
lighting the flames was played by the
crew of the liner Bulgaria.
The freboats Abram S. Hewitt and
the Mcclellan, of New York City. went
TO the assistance of the Hoboken Fire
Department.
Only a Waterman was aboard the
HopatconS when the fire began. He
gave the alarm and then ran away.
The flames were leaping out of the
boiler room when the men in the STA
non reached the boat. Before thew
could stretch a line of hose the fire had
assumed dimensions which made it
clear that the boat could not be saved.
The station, too, was afire.
Inc Hopatcong was then set adrift.
and for some time it hoated down
stream. Soon a dozen tugs got hold
OF her and turned her northward. She
was then II mass of flames from
Prov to stern. The tugs kept her in
m1dstream till the Jersey flats, =
site Forty-second street, were reached.
There she was left to burn down to the
waters edge.
From the boats the flames leaped at
first to the high pilings of the slips
and the wooden station structure O II
tanning the waiting rooms and the
offices. Everything near the place was
OF wood, and old wood at that. 1t was
licked up by the flames as if it had
been SO much straw. Within twenty
live minutes of the discovery of the fire
the high tower surrounding the station
collapsed with Il crash, which sent the
flames hundreds of feet into the air.
That was the time when Dukes
Hotel, already threatened some time,
took fire. In a few seconds the entire
hotel structure was ablaze.
The entire ferry and train service of
the Lackawanna was disorganized.
Hundreds of passengers were deposited
from trains half a mile back from the
site of the wrecked station, and press
Ing forward, Joined the throngs that
were watching the fire from every pos
sible vantage point.
Inc LackaWanna management. when
the fire was burning, sent urgent or
ders along its lines as far as Scranton
ordering all mechanics to Hoboken.
An attempt will be made at once to
build a temporary waiting room, but
the destruction of the spiling in the
ferry slips will make it a long and hard
task to restore anything like normal
conditions.

ELECTRIC Fan Snre Thrnnt

The. reason the electric fan coId' is
so often accompanied by sore throat
is, according to a doctor whose down.
town location brings him many such
cases, that the draught made by the
fan carries so much dust with it. The
fact is" says this authority, that the
air stirred by the fan is not fresh air
unless the fan is backed up against an
open window. When operating in an
inside room or in a similar place.
where it is most appreciated. the fan
uses the same air over and over. and
this air gathers up and keeps in mo-
ton all the available dust. People
who don't catch cold are sometimes
affected by this dust, and show symp-
toms either of sore throat or of nose
troubles akin to catarrh. The right
way to use a fan is so to arrange it
with relation to an open window that
all the air with which it is supplied
comes from Observation-Disclosures

When he stops for the night at q
hotel it is necessary for the manage
ment to e that three beds are placed
side by side in his room, so that when
he retires he may be able to rest by
stretching his huge frame across
them. All doors are too low for him
and unless he constantly has in mind
the fact that he must bend before
he enters a room he receives a sting
ing blow as a reminder and his head
gear suffers considerable damage. II
is said that he spoils three hats every
month in this way.
Then, too, his bulk Is so unwieldy
that he a not ride in a cab with any
degree Of comfort, and is forced to
patronize the trolley. He is obliged.
however, to remain on the platform.

continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently

The Curious Habits of a Cricket,

In the American Naturalist, j. L.
Hancock gives an interesting descrip-
ton of some of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals with
the allurements which the male cricket
possess. When he wishes to attract
the female, the male cricket raises his
fore wings vertically above his head,
and by rubbing them over each other
produces a high-pitched singing, OF
perhaps better, shrilling. When the
females attention has been attracted,
she goes to the male and proceeds to
take advantage of the refreshments
offered. Upon the mates back, stu
ated well forward on the thoraX, is a
little depression or well, in which a
small quantity of semi-fuid material
is secreted. Climbing up on the males
back, the female eats this apparently
delicious mOrsel with great eagerness;
it is evidently something especially
choice which is formed there for her
especial benefit. This proceeding sug-
gests that treating as a means of win
ming a lady's love is not confined to
the allurements of ice cream and soda
Water.-Collier'S Weekly.
