 Mir.

LONGEST Will on Record.


What is called the longest will on
record is that Of Captain Robert
Keayne, founder of the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company of Bos-
ton.
1t contains about $4,000 words. Print
ed and bound, it would make a good
sized volume, comparing favorably in
length with many a novel of the pres
ent day.
In its voluminous proportions this
will is In striking contrast to one pro-
bated in New Orleans a number of
years ago, in which the testator dis
posed of its earthly possessions in five
words-namely, Mistress Roper is my
heiress.'
The original of Captain keayne's
will is carefully preserved in the
vaults of the register of probate OF
Suffolk county. In volume 1 of the
record of wills probated 1t covers 14O
pages, and it is recited in the will
that the document was drawn up In
the handwriting of the testator.
While Captain Keayne, who was
originally a merchant tailor In London
left a fortune Of fair proportions fol-
his day, it is of interest to note that al
the present day fortunes Of millions OF
dollars are frequently disposed Of in
complicated trusts by only few hun
dred words.-Boston Post

A HUMAN MACHINE.
Rs Was Able to Correct a Language
He Did Not Understand.

When Max Muller was preparing his
edition of the Rigveda he had, so the
story goes, an illustration of the in
stinctive wisdom of the compositor.
In providing the manuscript for about
5000 sheets of print the author nat
orally tripped from time to time.
Whenever he did trip, there on his
proof was the error queried in a care
full hand. Surely, he thought, some
unknown scholar in the university
must be overlooking his proofs with
Kindly interest and making the correc-
tons for him. Inquiry showed that
this was not the fact. The corrections
were the corrections of the man who
set up the type. Did this man, then,
know Sanskrit?" Muller asked. Not
to detect the errors as hungry child
scents cooking dinner. The discov-
cry originated through his arm rather
than from any intellectual doubt, and
that arm was palsiedl
This printer had sustained an acct
dent, leaving him with an arm partly
paralyzed, and as this made him slow
er with his setting his masters turned
him ON to Sanskrit. with which he had
had no previous acquaintance. He had
to learn upward of 300 types for the
work, but he learned them and accus-
toned himself to the work Now.
many of the letters in Sanskrit cannot
follow each other or, If they do, must
be modified. In writing Muller some
times forgot these notifications, but
they were all marked on the proof.
Muller was SO interested that he sought
out the printer to ask him how he
was able to correct language which
he did not understand. The explana-
ton was remarkable: you see, sir,
my arm gets into a regular swing
from one compartment of types to
another, and there are movements that
never occur. So if / suddenly have to
take up types which entail a new
movement l feel it and put a query"
