LAWYER PAYS for. Bad Advice.

Consul-qeneral Gueunther says in a
report that German lawyers are liable
In damages to their clients for evil
results consequent upon misleading
advice. The Supreme Court OF Ger
many has recently rendered a decis'
ion that an attorney Is liable to his
clt@nt to the full extent for c~arelessly
eli ing incorrect advice.
The court held that the attorney
who for pay gives his client in legal
matters advice as to certain conduct
and procedure is liable for the legal
consequences suffered by the client In
acting thereon, provided that such adj
vice is not only faulty. but has been
proved to have been given c~arelessly.
An attorney tacitly assumes the po'
sition of debtor Of the client, which
obliges him to be careful in giving
advice, and he is therefore liable for
its consequences II he has failed
through carelessness.-New York

chinese Carpenters.

There are few more skilful work
men in the world, according to Mr..
Barrett Smiths statements in the En-
cheering Magazine, than the native
Chinese carpenters. This Is hardly
surprising, considering the extensive
use of wood for all kinds of construc-
ton In China. But more surprising Is
the fact that for countless generations
the Chinese have not changed the
form Of their tools. The Chinese car
penter's favorite tool is a little
Ratchet, with which he ian cut sur
faces as smooth as those produced
with a plane. Only recently has the
hammer of the western world begun
to find a place in the Chinese car
penter shops. Heretofore the China
man has universally used the back
of his Ratchet for hammering. The
gradual introduction of iron nails has
brought the hammer with them

The rich have never been richer
nor the poor more poor than in this
beginning Of the goth century; but
despite this disparity In social con-

a MUD VOLCANO.
Extraordinary Scone on a TropieaI

Extraordinary Scone on a Tropieai
Island.
Some time ago the natives OF Brit
ish North Borneo reported that .
huge marine monster-A kind Of &C
tOpus-had made It's place OF recrea-
ton on the Island Of Nbiman. which
lies some twenty miles north OF Sand
akaa town. The monster was minute
" described as to size. appearance,
and habits, and was said to burrow
deeply into the heart Of the island
and throw mud ana water. It had
also madc o track from the sea to his
hole.
Remembering the occurrence OF a
mud eruption on the island some
years ago,t the governor Of the colony
formed his W opinion regarding the
existence OF the supposed monster,
and when an opportunity occurred
msds an examination OF the island. It
appeared from his Investigations that
the track" made by the marine phe-
nomenon was . river OF hardened
mud. sun-dried and cracked till 1t
bore the appearance of a glacier Of
gray mud, complete with its crevasses
and boulders, lacking only the mo
raines and the exhilsrating glacier air
to make the resemblance complete.
At Its lower S1d, where 1t debouched
into the sea, a coed quarter OF a mile
from its source, the mudriver was
perhaps $50 feet broad, narrowing eo
eighty feet. At It's highest point
100 feet above sea leve1-where 1t
emerged from the crater, 1t appeared
TO have cut through the solid soil,
which stood up on each side a sooo
eight or ten feet above the surface OF
the mud. which was freely strewn
with small blocks OF gray sandstone.
The edges of these blocks were, IN
many cases, as sharp as those OF
newly.broken road metal.
The crater itself. a depression
about thirty to forty feet in diane
ter. was covered with a crust OF mud
lust strong enough to bear the
weight of a man, but giving slightly
"a one walked over 1t, thus Indicating
that 1t was merely a crust. In the
very center was a small pool OF liquid
mud, into which a long stick was
thrust without finding bottom
Around the crater % the walls OF
mud. ten to fifteen feet high. with
large blocks of sandstone and rocks
bearing streaks OF quartz nsrched In
such positions as proved that they
must have been hurled into d all
by the force Of the eruption, and
dropped into their present positions
The island gave evidence of at least
two eruptions, the latter of very re
cent occurrence, having spread a layer
of lighter colored mud over part o.
the older stream. The latter outburst
must. however, have been OF com
paratiyely mild nature. for the upper
layer appears to be not more than
foot thick. and does not reach more
than half way down the hill. while
the older mud stands at the shore
where the sea has eaten into 1t, a wal
some six feet high.-North Bornea
