Law

From Life.
 A law student is not entitled to a lip- loma until he can propely pronounce the word law" It is important It is per haps the most important of all, vastly more so than knowledge of Black stone
 It is impossible to write or print the word Jaw as a good lawyer pronounces it. Type as large as Hearst headline, italicized and triply underscored, might approximate the required importance, but 1t could give no fair idea of the loving reverence, the respectful obeisance the authoritative awfulness. the thunderbolt finality and the unctuous resonance with which all good lawyers scatter this word about a courtroom.
 "Such and such is the Law he an- nounces stentoriously, perhaps holding up a calf-bound book or shaking a beliiger- ent fist as if ready to stand upon the law and fight the world, the flesh and the devil The mere fact that opposing coun- sel two minutes later proves that such and such is not the law and never was the law, abates not one jot his enthusi- asm for the word. In an instant or two he is at it again crowding as much mighty majesty into these three letters as vocal cords can fashion.

CRUELTRY IN MOROCCO
The Poor Sorely Oppressed by Media
 eyal Rule of Kiat1s
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
 ''Englishmen not allowed!"
 What manner of men are they, the NIoorish kaids and governors, who seek to set up this legend in their territories in southern Morocco?
 Since my expulsion from Agadir by or der of the I<halifa of Kaid Ghilloui1 have been learning slowly but steadily something of the type of man to whom l owe that humiliation, and also new reason for the expulsion of Englishmen.
 I fancy that Kaid GhiIlouli and his khalifa realized two things. They saw that it is perfectly safe to insult an En- glishman or any number of Englshmen, because, as the Moors hereabouts put it.. the English have no force But they saw something else, too. They realized that it might be unsafe to have English men travelling in their country and seeing it's admnstraton For the Englsh have the name of being champion of the cp- pressed, and this is one of the dark places of the earth where oppresson and unut- terabe crueltes are rife
 Kad Ghllouli, like his brother-n-law, kaid Anhus, with whom he shares the worst reputation for cruelty in the south, lives in fortified castle such as the rob Der barons of Europe in the middle ages loved to build. Such castles abound in this part of Morocco, and Ghiloulis is an excellent type.
 The kaids house, with prison keep and fortress, is the nucleus. About it are ranged the outhouses and dwellings of his attendants, the whole forming a strong, compact little town completely surround ed by thick, battlemented wall.
 In times of quiet the kaid maintains some 20 or 90 armed retainers-house carries is the old English name for such. In troubled times their number is 200 or 25O At present Kaid Anflus, such is his unpopularity, never stirs abroad without a strong bodyguard armed to the teeth.

Photos to Sight Gems

| Old Point Comfort Correspondent New York Herald.
 Lieutenant Commander Cleland Davis, executive officer of the battleship Mis- sissippi and the inventor of the DaVls torpedo, is also the inventor of an ap- paratus to be used on the big guns
 used bX tho navy which promises to revolutionize the art of warfare as ap- piled to the navy. It is camera at tachment which will aid in the placing
 of shots, taking the place of the human eye, and practically eliminating the ''personal equation" in range finding. In the firing of the eight and T. inch rifles everything depends upon | "spotting.' This is done by the officer from the foretop, the basket like con triyance on top of the military mast in in the forward part of the battleSllip. These officers, as the shells fall, men tally note the apparent distance be- tween the point where the falling pro lectile splashes to the target, whether a ship of the enemy or a target raft What to the eye appears an inch would denote that the distance was so many Yards short of or beyond the target Lieutenant Commander Davis inven- ton does something that almost taxes credulity After the gun has been fired and at the instant that the geyser or
 water caused by the falling shell is seen
 to shoot high into the air the camera .attachment is snapped and the picture is
 taken. It is developed in II seconds.
 The negative. which is made on plate practically an inch square, is then used by the spotters to determine whether the gun should be elevated or lowered
 or aimed to the right or left Of the tar
 get on the next shot in order to make a hit.
 The object of the invention of Lieu
 tenant Commander Davis is to suner-
 cedc the eye and brain, which are quite
 Jikely to prove untrustworthy. An au-
 tual photograph of the apparent dis
 tance of the splash from the traget will
 furnish information that cannot be dis
 puted.
 Whether this invention will prove
 practicable remains to be demonstrated.
 II was hoped to test this at the target
 practice of the Atlantic battleship fleet
 just completed on the southern lrill
 grounds, but the apparatus, which was
 made under the directions of the in-
 ventor in Paris was not quite com pleted.
