Models to Help Juries,

For the guidance Of the jury, coun-
sci then produced in court model of
the house about which the dispute had
arisen"
Many a time, in the course of re-
porting law case, had I written the
above or similar phrase, before I
met the man whose studied business
it is to make and supply, for legal
purposes, model of anything from a
country mansion to a stretch Of road
way. Probably it was the inadequacy
of the language that led to his devot-
ing himself to the producing of "ocu-
lar proof" for the guidance of juries.
Even the most eloquent of counsel
may fail properly to describe a situa-
tion, especially If the technicalities
are apt to be confusing to the lay
mind. But when the actual situation"
in miniature is produced In court, the
glib tongue of counsel is silenced by
comparison. For in the words of the
old Roman poet: Those things stimu-
late us less which are heard by the
ear than those which are presented to
the faithful eye"-Andrew Soutar In

GREAT WEIGHT OF SLEEPERS
Most Extravagant and Costly Method
Of Transportation 10 Sleeping
Car Train.

The most extravagant and costly
method of transportation in the world
is the sleeping car train, which car
ries two tons of dead weight for ev-
cry passenger moved. The great
weight of passenger cars is due in no
small measure to the great length to
which these cars have grown in recent
years. The body of modern sleep
er," over 70 feet in length, supported
on a truck at each end, may be re-
garded structurally as bridge car
ried on two end piers. And in the
case of the car, as of the bridge, the
bending stresses tend to break it in
two, and threfore the weight Of ma
terial necessary to resist those stress
es increases in a much more rapid
ratio than the length. Moreover, the
concentration of weight on the two
trucks calls for heavy copstruction in
tbs trucks themselves. S..# 81

The Southern Seas.

Readers of old records of explora,
ton in the South seas will recall fire.
Quent references to the heavy swells
OF the acean, which impressed the
navigators with the idea of their re.
moteness from land. DR.. Vaughan
Cornish explains the great size Of the
sea waves in high southern latitudes
by the fact that south of the Cape of
Good Hope the prevailing wind in all
longitudes is westerly. Thus when a
west wind springs up it finds a long
westerly swell, the effect of previous
wind, still running. The new born
wind increases the steepness of this
swell, and so forms majestic storm
waves, which sometimes obtain a
length of 1000 feet from crest to crest
The average height attained by sea
waves in feet is about half the velo-
city of the wind in miles per hour.

An Ego Defense,

A Chicago grocer's boy had a lively
half-hour round with an ugly fox
terrier in his fathers store a few
days ago. The dog drove the boy into
a corner, and the only available
weapon was crate of fresh-laid
eggs. These the boy used, one at a
time, on the enraged beast with tell.
ing effect, till his ammunition was all
exhausted, when the dog promptly
advanced and bit him in the leg,
The dog then, resembling a walking
omelet, appeared to be satisfied and
sought nice green lawn where the
grass was tall, where he could roll
and separate himself from the exter-
nal egg-nog. The unfortunate part
of the affair was the fact that the
eggs were too fresh to do much good,
If the boy had had the presence of
mind to have gotten near a crate of
stale eggs, or even near-fresh eggs.
the dog might have been stopped by
the first one over the plate.

A Scientific Problem.

In the center of the garden, on q
pedestal, stood a large glass globe. As
the guests sauntered about after din
ner one Of them, happening to touch
it, discovered to his amazement that
it was warmer on the shady side than
on the side facing the sun.
An argument Immediately sprang
up, and in the course Of the debate the
phenomenon was attributed to the law
of reflection or that of repulsion, or
something equally formidable.
Il don't know what ye be a,talkin'

who had been an attentive listener to
the conversation, but do know that,
