NJ. Berth, chief engineer of naval con-
struction in the French navy, figured
out from elaborate calculations in how
short distance a steamship can stop.
He demonstrates that a $4,000 ton
transatlantic liner, going twenty-nine
knots an hour, simply by stopping the
engines will come to a stop in one
hour and thirteen minutes and will In
that time have Travelled 4.79 statute
miles. The same vessel with recipro-

Queer Lawsuit.

Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records Of the
court Of the excheQuer in England II
was fled on Oct. 8, 1925, and 1t sets
forth very clearly that John Everit
and Joseph Williams were highway
robbers In its succinct legal phrases
the complaint says that the men form
ed a partnership for the purpose Of
carrying on business as highwaymen.
1t was mighty profitable, as was
shown by the fact that Everit sued
Williams for the equivalent of $1,000,
"being for moneys wrongfully appro-
priated to defendants private purse"
This was the amount in dispute after
the partnership had lasted only year.
Then Everit claimed that he discover
ed that his partner had not made a
fair division of the spoils. The action
was adjudged to be gross contempt
Of court, and the plaintiff was ordered
to pay all costs, while the solicitors
who served the writ were fined. One
Of the solicitors, a man named
Wreathcock, refused to pay the fine
and was sent to prison for six months.
Both plaintiff and defendant to the &C.
ton were subsequently hanged, one at
Tyburn and the other at Maidstone.

SPOKE Their Minds,

The original woman's rights woman
of the modern era, according to con-
tributor to the Paris Figaro, was
Olympic de Gonges. a Trenchwoman
who was beheaded, but not before she
had wittily pointed out the gulf, fixed
by custom. between woman's inherent
and her civic rights. In 1901, in
manifesto which had no precedent
whatever and which contained an ar
ticle which has kept suffragists going
ever since, the intrepid Olympic de
Gonges declared, Woman has the
right to mount the scaffold; she should
also have the right to mount the trib-

Another way of expressing the same
idea Is credited to Nine. Condorcet. 1t

MANNER OF CONSTRUCTING
PRACTICAL SHEEP HURDLES
Great Objection
Their Liability Blowing Over
Materials Used.

The great objection TO the more gen.
eral use OF sheep hurdles seems to be
their liability to blowing over. / SUBJ
NIT illustrations of some that offer
less resistance or are better fortified
against the effects of the wind, writes
Richard H. Mitchell in the Country
Gentleman.

hurdle, is. nevertheless. considered as
such, and Is the one In most COM
mon use. / can only give measure
ments from memory, but should say
that they were 10 feet long and 5
feet high when set up. The figure
shown is made OF sawed stun, but
they are more often made OF split
saplings; the construction, however,
is precisely the same. Holes are made
with bar, and they are set end to
end and pinned together at the top.
These, like those supported on the A
crutch, form perfectly straight fence,
which is not SO proof against the force
OF the wind as one built zig-zag or
worm fashion.

In drawing these hurdles, have

tice, 1t might be found better to make
them shorter, especially If they were

sides Of inch uprights, will of course

together in mailing, as 1t will make the
frame all the stronger. Hemlock is
probably the best material for making
these, and it would undoubtedly last
enough longer to pay to have It dress

would be saved in freight to pay for
the dressing. II the ends Of the up
rights that stand on the ground were
dipped in hot coal tar, they would
probably last as long as the rest OF
the panel.

us how to avoid the trouble In this
way: He advised us to place dozen

small hens egg, in the feed box, TAX
ing care to have tuem well distributed
through the oats. This compels the
horse to eat less greedily, as he must
eat carefully to avoid biting on the
stones. We had no further trouble as
long as we owned the horse.
