Supreme Court Decides
 Against MerrlL
MOBILE MAN SUED FOR s6o,ooo
Ayerred That He Was Promised It
 by (. D. Smith & Co
Opinion of Justice Anaersen Say. Re- iatiea of Pariner.Aip Existed and Net Th.s of Independ-
 ent crsHtsr.

IT decision in the Supreme Court of Alabama handed down at wednes- Aay's session of that body. F. B. Mer- HI, of Mobile. is the loser in a suit y3pr $60.o00 instituted by him against the firm of Charles s. Smith and Com pany. contractors. Justice Anderson being of the opinion that the plaintiff failed in the lower court, the city court of Mobile, to make out a prfrna facie ease under the averments of his complaint.
 In his complaint Merrill averred that he had entered into an agreement with the firm of C.. D. Smith and Company. whereby the firm of c. D. Smith and Company agreed to pay the plaintiff 70 per cent. of such profits as the CO., partnership of c, D. smith and Com pany should make from the execution of a certain contract for work of con- struction on the Gulf and Chicago Railroad Company, should the con- tract be landed, that the contract was landed and the defendant failed to full i'll their agreement, and failed to pay the plaintiff any moneys whatsoever, although c. D. Smith obtained the con- tract and made great profits thereby.
 The cause was tried before Judge semmes of the city court of Mobile before jury, and on motion of the de- fendant the plaintiffs evidence was struck out by the court, and 1t be- came necessary for the plaintiff to suf- fer a non-suit. He took the non-suit , with a bill of exceptions. and made an appeal to the Supreme Court.
 The Optnfon.
 Judge Anderson in his opinion, in which Justices Simpson, Denson and Mcclellan concurrsd, stated that the plaintiff having failed to make out a prima facie case, under the averments of his complaint, the trial court did not err in excluding all of the evi- dence.
 That the complaint charges a breach of agreement by failure to pay plain tizA 40 per cent. of the profits There was no proof of such promise, either by the company or Smith. The only contract attempted to be proven by the plaintiff was not an obligation to pay him anything, but that he was a partner in the firm of c. D. Smith and Company to the extent of a two fifths interest and therefore entitled to i4O per cent. of the profits.
 If he was member of the firm as he claims, we are at a loss to gee how he can maintain an action against said firm. On the other hand he can. not maintain suit against his co-part- nsr for demands growing out of the partnership business, unless there wal q settlement and Q balance ascertain. ed to be due him. Clearly whatever claim he had to profits accrued to hin as partner in the work and not up. on any express agreement to make

nature and proportions of these; ca pacity of glasses being supposed to be about one pint:
 Glass A contains 50 grammes of sodium hydrate dissolved in 100 cubic centimeters of water. This solution fills about one-half of the glass. Dur ing the experiment the other half must be entirely filed with hydro chloric acid. This should be poured slowly while the liquid is agitated with . glass or wooden stick. The last additions of acid cause the liquid to boil. The glass will then be found to contain common table salt mixed with an excess either of acid or of sodium hydrate. Glass AZ is filled with sodium suiphate in small crystals, such as is sold by pharmacists to be taken in- tennally. Enough hydrochloric acid must be poured to cover the salt. Tenn perature goes at once much below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold becomes still more intense if the mixture be agi- tated.
 Three-quarters of glass B are filled with water: then one decigramme of copper sulphate is dissolved in it. Ammonia Is added in small portions until an intense blue color appears. The addition of hydrochloric acid will cause it to vanish. A solution of two centigrammes of potassium fer ricyanide in 100 cubic centimeters of water is made in glass B2, and, in this, another solution of three eenti. Frarimes of ferrous suphate in 100 cubic ccntimeters of water is poured. A little ammonia is then added until the beautiful blue color yanishes. Fly drochloric acid will cause 1t to reap pear instantaneously.
 Glass C contains the ordinary solu- tion of lead acetate sold by druggists for local or external application. lily. drochioric acid forms in it a dense precipitate of lead chloride. Three. quarters of glass e are filled with wa ter to which about quarter of a tea spoonful of slacked lime, free from coarse particles, is added. Calcium chloride. resulting from the action O. i; hydrochloric acid on lime, is exceed iagly soluble in water.
 A few pieces of zinc are deposited ia glass D. Bubbles of hydrogen will set noIsily on fire when a match is in. troduced into the glass.

CHEMICAL PUZZLE.
Experiment Giving Idea of the Diver sity of Chemical and Physical
 Changes from Same Reaaent.

The following experiment gives an idea of the infinite diversity of chem ical and physical changes which one and the same reagent may induce in other substances. writes Gustav Mich aud in the Scientific American.
 Fourteen glasses, arranged in seven pairs, are brought before the speeta- tors. The experimenter then pours one and the same liquid into the IA glasses. The following contradictory results become at once apparent:
 Substance contained in glass A be comes so hot that the glass cannot bc kept in the hand. Substance con tained in glass AZ becomes so colo that frost promptly collects outside of the glass.
 Liquid contained in glass E was blue; 1t becomes cororless. Liquid contained in glass B2 was colorless: 1t becomes blue.
 Glass c contained a clear liquid which becomes muddy. Glass C2 con tained a muddy liquid which becomes clear.
 If e lighted match be introduced into glass D. several inches above the liquid, noisy flames are seen to spring in every direction. If the same eX- pertinent Is made in the same manner with glass D2. the match is quietly but immediately extngfushed. Liquid in glass F. had a burning. suffocatins smell; it becomes odorless. Liquid in glass E2 was odorless: it acquires such an offensive smell that 1t be- comes necessary to carry it outside. | Liquid in glass r was red: il he comes blue. Liquid in glass F2 was | blue: it becomes red.
 Glass c contained a solid substance which becomes liquid. Glass G2 con. tains a clear liquid which becomes in simultaneously solid
 Every transformation is the result of the action of common hydroch1oric acid over some chemical. Here is the

TOLD OF RUSSIANS
SUBJECTS OF THE GEAR ARE
 STRANGELY INCONSISTENT.
Seem Equal Mixture of Feroeity and Gentieness-Story That Reveals Their Queer Ideas in Mat
 ters of Discipline.

No one can be long associated with
 Russians without reaching a condition
 of utter amazement at the extraor-
 dinary inconsistency of their mental
 makeup. The kindest of men seem to
 receive placidly the most blood
 curdling doctrines: they enforce the
 cruelest of laws in the gentlest way
 or vice versa. They are perfectly
 charming to individuals in groups Of
 two or three and utterly bloodthirsty
 to exactly similar individuals in
 groups of twenty or thirty. Certain
 Jews after great massacres have tes-
 tified that peasants have said to
 them: Poor brothers. we must kill
 you," An odd tale, Illustrating their
 queer ideas of discipline, is told by a
 revclutionist who has just come to
 this country. By those who ought to
 know, it is said to be typical of a
 singular simplicity of mind which is
 also said to be peculiar to the Rus,
 sians.
 A follower of Tolstoy was called on for military service. He presented himself to the army officers as re euired and explained that he could not serve because of his beliefs. "Ah," said the officer in charge DO litely, but you understand that this means prison?"
