Commas and the Law.

The comma in the British act OF
parliament which has caused dispute
between Monmouthshire miners and
their employers recalls the fact that
such marks of punctuation We're in
troduced into law only half century
ago. Down to 1850 all acts of parlia
ment consisted, in theory at all events
of one sentence. In that year a spe
cial statute was passed TO allow the

punctuated and pointed by full-stcps

and altered that lawyers know theiI
danger and avoid them in legal dccu

The Lanarkshire (Scotland) Homing
Federation had most successful race
from Dumfries the other week, and
many of the birds covered the distance
to their lofts at speed of over sixty
miles an hour.
The fastest performance that has
been reported in the race was that OF
a pigeon belonging to Messrs. Steuart
Brothers of Larkhall, which accom-
plished the journey at the rate of fully
sixty-six miles an hour. In pigeon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
the wind behind them, and should a
pigeon have to face moderate head
wind. its speed would be only about
thirty miles an hour.
