LINCOLN'S WIT.
That and Ridiculc Were His Weapons OF
OfYense and Defense.

april Century,

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln's
weapons Of offense and defense. and
hs probably laughed more jury CT: eS
out of court than any other man who
practiced at the bar
Il once heard Lincoln defend a man
in Bloomington against a charge Of
passing counterfeit money" Vice-Presi-
dent Stevenson told the writer. There
was pretty clear case AGAINST the ac-
cused, but when the chief witness for
the people took the stand he stated that
his name was j. Parker Green, and Lin
coin reverted to this the moment he
rose to crOss-examine. why j. Parker
Green? What did the J. stand for?
John? Well why didn't the witne s
call himself John p. Green? That was
his name, wasn't it? Well. what was
the reason he did not wish to be known
by his right name? Did J. Parker Gre en-
have anything to conceal. and IL not,
why did j. Parker Green part his name
in that way" And so on. OF course.
the whole examination was farcica!.'
Mr.. Stevenson continued, but there
was something irresistibly funny in the
varying tones and infections Of Mr..
LincOln's voice as he rang the changes
upon the mans name: and at the recess
the very boys in the street took it up
as a slogan and shouted j. Parker
Green!' all over the town. Moreover,
there was something in Lincoln's way
OF informing his questions which made
me suspicious of the witness. and to
this day l have never been able to rid
my mind of the absurd impression that
there was something not quite right
about j. Parker Green. 1t was all nom
sense, Of course; but the jury must have
been affected as / was, for Green was
discredited and the defendant went

THE sAULT ST. MARIE LOCKS.


In strongly approving of the Lock
Canal. the Engineering News says that
the foreign engineers who voted for a
sea-level canal failed to properly ac-
quaint themselves with the practical
history of the great locks on the Sault
st. Marie. The Engineering News says:
Now. no one. not even the sea-level
advocates. Will seriously claim that a
lock canal is not a thoroughly salts

That lock is 500 feet long. 100 feet
wide and - feet deep over the inter
stills. The locks at Panama are to be
900 feet long. % feet wide. with a
depth of 40 feet over the inter silks
and lift of 30 feet as a maximum.
The Poe lock at the Sault has been
in use for 10 years. and during that
time has handled volume of traffic
in excess OF the total traffic through all
the four great ship canals of Europe.
Further. the great ore carriers that
now regularly pass through the Poe
locks are much larger than the average
ocean cargo steamers, and it cannot be
shown that the existence of this lock
has in any way hindered the growth
in the size of vessels on the Great
Lakes. In other words. the theory of
the sea-level advocates to the effect
that while q lock canal Is all right for
moderate-siZe vessels 1t is grave dan
ger to the largest class of vessels. is
disproved by the size of the
vessels which are regularly using the
lock at the Sault.''

1t has lately been discovered that
the serum with which those bitten are
treated should vary according to the

cannot be sure of having exactly the
right serum with him at the moment

reported that an almost certain cure
for snake-bite is the injection of 2
small portion of the bile of the reptile
