STRANGE LITIGATION

Among the curiosities of litigation
may be cited the following case. On
the boundary-line of two farms in an
Austrian village. there grew large
gooseberry bush. from which two
farmers for years gathered the prod
uct. What grows on my side is mine.
and you may have the rest was the
agreement.
Some time ago the neighbors had
Misunderstanding. and this came to
a climax when the gooseberries be-
came ripe. A lawsuit followed. and
appeals We're made to higher judicial
bodies. The final decision was lately
recorded In the Austrian courts.
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side OF the line. Just as 1t was orig
ally. but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half
to each iitigant Each farmer had TO
pay 265 krone. The yearly yield OF
the bush is worth about one-half
krone. and the judge told the lighting
farmers:
( With good luck. It will take you
only 500 years to make the bush pay.
rake good care of it."

FEARLESS RAVENS

From time immemorial ravens have
been the subject of song, story, and
superstition. Their fearlessness, trick
cry, contradictory manners. artfulness,
harsh note. ugly form. and beautiful
black plumage have formed the theme
for many bird-lore story.
Perhaps one of themost curious
facts about the raven is that while
there is no more shy bird, or one more
difiicult to get near to, when It is wild.
none tames more easily. and when
tanned It is totally fearless When
wild. the raven will never dare to at.
tack any bird. but will steal eggs or
young, and hover around uttering the
most dismal croaks But once tanned,
he thinks nothing of walking up tc
your dog and using old Towser's back
as sort OF penwiper for cleaning hia
beak. and viii often go SO far. IL the
dog is asleep. as to pull the animals
ears and tweak It's tail, flying away
with great scurry when the dos
growls at him, but returning again In
a few minutes to renew the attack.

The disks, found In great numbers,

"Hypocephali" they are called. because
they were placed beneath the head.
Like the mummies, the objects found
with them have been scattered
abroad. and in the museum at Cairo
any tourist may purchase as many of
them as he win.
The inscriptions on the disks and

them be understood until the inscrip-

WEIRD ARE IDEAS REVEALED
Joseph M. Wade Is Dead, Once Be-

Boston.--Joseph M. Wade, a wealthy
resident of Dorchester, who had been
decorated by the mikado in recogni-
tion of hfs charities to widows and or
phans of Japan, died in the belief
that he was the spiritual husband of
Madame Blavatsky, the theosophical
leader, according to the story revealed
in a masters report filed In the superb

The report was upon the suit OF Her
bert W. Burke, executor of Wade's
estate, against Yamanaka a. Co.. deal
ers in Japanese curios, to compel them
to restore to the estate bill of sale
OF collection of Japanese and orien-
tai articles valued at between SIS 900
and $4,000. Burke alleged that Wade
was induced to affix his mark to the
bill when he was too feeble to under.
stand his acts. His contention was
sustained by the court
Wade. according to the masters re-
port, had an occult room filled with
Japanese art objects. where he went
to commune with spirits. From the
other world he gained the belief
that he would begin to get better or
grow rapidly worse by December is,

LOST PIN MYSTERY

One OF the mysteries of the world is
certainly the pin. In astounding guam
titles they pour from numerous factor
les. principally in Birmingham. One
mill alone is credited with turning out
nearly 100000 pins day. and no
one has ever attempted the calculation
of the worlds output. A pin is thing
which. in the ordinary way, would last
for years. and it is problem to ac-
count for the necessity for making
such enormous quantities.
The explanation is undoubtedly that
pins are SO cheap that everyone
throws away or loses them as fast as
they use them. Thousands and thou
sands of them enter the sewers of
our towns, and solid masses are often
found where innumerable examples OF
these tiny articles have become weld
ed together in their passage through
the sewers.
The output of a pin factory Includes
dozens of different sizes. from the
tiny pins used by naturalists. only
quarter of an inch long, and as fine
as hair, to giant blanket pins four
inches In length. and nearly as thick
as a wire nail.
Hairpins are another example of
useful articles made to be lost; they
follow the fate of the common pin.
