FLEET HlAWATHA.
A Cynical Critics Cold Analysis Of
Longfcllow's Description.

Determine how fast, asks Professor
Greenhill. lIiawatha can run from the
following data:
Strong of arm was Hiawatha.
He could shoot ten arrows upward.
And the tenth had left the bowstrlng
Ere the first to earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha.
He could shoot an arrow from hin
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow Eel! behind him.
Neglecting the resistance of the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow n second. the solution
Is as follows:
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot, being equal to the time null
tiplied into half the value of the con-
slant of gravity, was al feet n second.
Now, in shooting IN arrow from him,
Hiawatha. to obtain The farthest fight,
would let fly ut IN angle of forty-fiye
degrees. and by simple trigouomet-
ricaI calculation we therefore arrive at
the fact that the horizontal velocity of
the arrow would be rather less than HI
feet q second and would In fact he 102
feet second, or seventy miles an hour.
Hiawatha would therefore have to run
faster than this. Could he do it ON n
sprint?
Again having recourse to calculation,
we find that an arrow shot at IA feet
second would fly PIG yards, or near
~ furlong. Hiawatha would run
that distance in about seven seconds,
so that he would be able to give the
present holder of the record some 14J
yards start.-London Post

Southwest Wisconsin Mining Thies

The following, which appeared in last
Sundays Milwaukee Free Press, should
prove interesting to Tribune readers,
regardless Of the accuracy Of the pre-
| diction:
That so per cent of the zinc and lead
mining properties in southwestern Wis
consin will be involved in litigation
| within few years, is the prediction of
Edmond Louis De Lestry, st. Paul, who
is at the Pankinton house. Mr. De
Lestry is general manager of the Inter
state Exploration company, the De
Lestry Development Syndicate and the
Arizona and Eastern Consolidated Min
ing company.
Lawyers are going to become rich
over the litigation that is bound to come
about the in southwestern part of the
state within the next ten years said
Mr.. DeLestry last night. about so per
cent of the property is under disputed
title and before the titles are cleared
the whole thing will be tied up in litiga-
ton.
''The hopeless mess things there are
in is due to the ignorance of mining law
of small business men who have gone
there with few thousand dollars III the
expectation of making fortune They
obtained leases on property. There we're
clauses in the leases providing that the
properties should be worked nine
months of the year. The fortune hunt
ers started out in good faith, ran short
Of money and were unable to work the
property for the time necessary to
make their leases good
Transfers after transi rs were made
and the titles have become so involved
that it will take the best mining law
yers in the country 10 bring anything
like order out of the tangle. A large
per cent of the smaller mining compan-
les out there are already deep in trouble
ON account of the mess and good
many people stand to lose what they
have put into the different properties.
Some of the larger companies have gone
ahead cautiously in taking up property
so their stockholders will not suffer.
People knowing little about mining
property have gone in there and taken
leases or purchased outright property
which is not under clear title. This
property will be so tied up in the course
of few years that the lawyers will
get everything. The men who have put
81, 500 or so into these properties will
be the ones to suffer. There good min
eral in the country and plenty of it. but
it will be the titles to the property that
are bound to cause trouble. >

The Thaw trial of New York has
worked such wide spread protests
against the abuses of criminal law
practice that, as the New York Even
ing Post suggests, in spite of difficult
ties and discouragements, movement
NAV grow from it which will result in
at least some measure of reform. The
prolonged Thaw trial, with its mass of
expert testimony and testimony which,
so far as layman could see, had little
or nothing to do with the guilt or inno-
cence of the prisoner, is contrasted
with the orderly and expeditions trial
of the murderer of the wealthy London
merchant, Whitley.
The I'haw trial dragged along for
three months about year after Stan
ford White was murdered. Whitley
was murdered Jan. "a last and Rayner,
the man who killed him, was tried and
convicted on March %. There was a
personal scandal in both cases, with the
same question, therefore, of personal
responsibility, but under the English
practice, and with judge ruling out
vague guesses of medical experts the
whole was concluded within five hours.
Now" asks the Post, 'are we to
take it out in exclaiming at the contrast
with our vicious procedure, or are we
to insist upon mending that procedure?
American lawyers are prominent in
public life. They fill the legislatures
and congress. Are they going to do
nothing to make such a reproach to
American Jurisprudence as the conduct
of the Thaw trial hereafter imposs-
ible And an appeal is made to the
lawyers and to the bar associations to
set on foot movement for the reform
of the national abuse. And there are
already signs of such a movement,
which backed as it will be by strong
public sentiment must gradually bring
about change.
But there is more hope in looking to
the bench than to the bar for immedi-
ate reform. Strong Judges can do away
with many of the abuses of our criminal
practices that have grated themselves
on the courts. They can greatly short
en- the time occupied in trials by eX-
GLIDING much of the irrelevant testimony
that now is allowed to 90 in, by holding
lawyers and witnesses down to the real
issue at stake, by refusing to entertain
motions which are clearly dilatory, and
further by insisting that questions Of
appeal, to be considered at all, must
touch the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused or show that the rights guaran-
teed to him by constitution and statute
have in some way been denied. These
reforms will come rather from the
bench than from the bar, and the need
of them should arouse the people to q
greater and more intelligent interest in
the selection of candidates for judicial
Office.
