Lnya I'm the Ocean.

This earth received what was proba-
bly, IFS greatest shaking in modern
times, when the tremendous volcanic
eruption OF Krakatoa, in Sunda strait,
occurred I'm 1883. A curious incident OF
that time is recalled by IA correspond
cnt who was n passenger on steam
ship on the voyage between Colombo
mud Albany King Georges sound, some
/ 800 or 1000 miles south Of the center
of the disturbance. Ii was beautiful
night, and shortly after dinner, when
the deck was crowded with passengers.
the lookout shouted, "Breakers ahead"
This was I'm midocean with no shOal
water nearer than the Australian coast,
five or six days sail distant The
steamer was slowed down, and pres
emily drifted into a mass of floating
lava and green slime. Buckctfuls were
hauled on deck and strained through
cloths. Nearly all night the steamer
forged ahead at half speed, with the
floating scum grating against her sides,
and In the morning. when clcar water
was reached, the sides of the ship be
low the water line were bare OF paint
and FURNISHED like steel.

A COAT OF ARMS.
How One May lie Acquired For n
Consideration In England.

The practice OF granting arms is still
In vogue In England, Ireland, Scotland,
Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ger
many, etc, and ut times the pope, az
sovereign pontiff, exercises the power.
Indeed, II Is by patent or grant alone
that a new family can legitimately ac-
quire coat Of arIHs.
The modus opcrandi in England, for
example, Is as follows The applicant
for Il patent Of arms from the CROWN
may employ any member he pleases Of
the heralds' college and through him
present mem orial TO the earl marshal
Of England, who acts for the crown In
these matters. setting forth that he,
the memOrlaist IL not entitled 10 arms
or cannot prove his right TO such and
praying that his grace the earl marshal
will issue his warrant TO the kings Of
arms, authorizing them 10 grant and
confirm 10 him due and proper armo-
rial ensigns, TO be borne according 20
the laws OF hcraldry by him and his
descendants This memorial Is pre-
sentcd and IA warrant IL issued by the
earl marshal under which patent Of
arms is made out, exhibiting paint
ing OF the armOrial ensigns granted,
the royal arms Of England, the arms OF
the earl marshal and those OF the col
legc ana describing In official terms the
proceedings that have taken place and
II correct blazon Of the arms. This pat
cnt Is registered In the boeks OF the
heralds' college and receives the sigma
lures Of the garter and one or both OF
the provincial kings Of arms.
A grant or patent OF arms IL made TO
n man and his male descendants. This
gives him fee simple OF them-that is
10 say, to him ana 10 his male descend
ants equally and altogether and to his
female descendants in qualified man
ner-i. g., for life, 10 bear the arms in
lozcngc or impaled with their hus-
bands arms OF the husbands have
arms, IA arms can only be brought In
by arms, or, II they be heiresses or co
hclrcSscs, on an escutcheon OF pretense
upon their husbands shields, and In
the last case their descendants inherit
such maternal arms, but only as a
quarterlng Nineteenth Century.

fault Of their irrltabllity. A NJ Of In

WITNESSES TO ALlBlS.
Shady Trade which Once FIourished
In New York's Courts.

The elder Weller in "Pickwick" was,
as all admirers of the works Of Dick
ems will know, great believer In the
utility of an alibi as defense in both
criminal and civil actions.
Never mind the character" said Mr.
Weller 10 his son. stick 10 the alley
hi. Nothing like an alleybi, Sammy;
nothing. Verever he's agoln' 10 be
tried, me boy, a alleybis the thing TO
get him off"
This sage advice OF Mr.. Weller
found frequent corroboratiOn in the
views Of criminal lawyers in town up
TO very few years ago. There were
half century ago more criminal law
yers than there are today, and the
emoluments and fees of criminal law
yers were materially larger in the or
dinary run Of cases than now. AS a
consequence, cases were more often
defended than they are now and pleas
OF guilty much more rarcr. Then the
alibi witness was necessary though
usually unwelcome part Of the ma
chinery Of defense In criminal cases.
There IL In criminal procedure no bet
ter defense than an alibi If sustained.
Alibi witnesses were therefore very
much In demand until juries began 10
mistrust them and the penalties for the
crime Of perjury were visited upon
some of the delinquents.
For long time the mendacious
and subsidized testimony OF profes-
sional alibi witnesses obtained credence
from jurors, and some of these wit
nesses, to quote their own language,
"made good thing out Of IT," Jurics
In criminal cases are usually sympa-
thetic where no outside pressure Is
brought upon them, and II is the part
OF the charge Of every Judge in a crimi-
nal case to inform the jury that the
prisoner at the bar Is entitled to every
reasonable doubt. If, therefore, any
uncertainty existed on the point wheth-
er or not the prisoner was actually
present at the time and place OF the
alleged crime he was entitled 10 the
benefit Of II, but little by little the
prosecuting officers became acquainted
with the identity and records OF the
professional alibi witnesses. One or
two were prosecuted. Others were
scared off. The commercial value OF
the services Of the others was decreas-
ed, and finally the whole nefarious
business was abandoned, never since
to be revived.

A Iifr of Freedom.

People sometimes think how delight

n fish, IA Itusliln says, Is frccr than Il
man, ana, as for fly, il Is "a black
incarnation of freedom" \ life OF 40

things Repetition soon becomes Il

SMUGGLING.
IL Was Considered Legitimate Pur-
suit In Days Gone by.

A book by j. G. Wright entitled "In
tcrcsting light Oh the ways OF days
gone by: "Of every three pounds OF tea
II was said that two were contraband.
In fact. smuggling was considered a
perfectly legitimate pursuit. Every
body was ready TO profit by II, from
cheap wine, and his wife, who adorned
herself In cheap silks, 10 the shopkeep-
or, who got cheap groceries, or the Id
bOrer, who got high wages for work
that was secret, unlawful and perilous.
Even Adam Smith confessed 10 n weak

was not carried ON without bribery,
perjury, informing, violence and muir

OF the old time London watchman:
"lIe was wrapped in n wide skirted
heavy coat, useful garment for pro-
tccting him from the cold, but not
adapted TO enable him to cope with the
bullics who assaulted the weak and un-
protected. He wore low shoes and n
big broad brimmed hat, which could be
turned up or down, worn forward or
backward. The only means Of defense
which the watChman seems to have
possessed was n staff something like
n bcadlc's. In his left hand he carried
his lantern"
