\ bITristyr whu was possessed or an abuormalIy loud voice was making an eloquent address to a jury. His case was fairly strong; he was much in ear nest, and his trumpet tones made the rafters ring In hurricane of sound ne closed his argument and sat down. TGc jury looked serious and thought full and were evidently much i'm pressed The opposing barrister had a face like HaJrhet and a thin low voice the exact opposite of his learned friend. When it became his turn to ad. dress the jury he began:

Each Has Troubles of It's Own That
 Require Constant Care.
 Leave any ship canal alone for even a year and 1t would DO longer be 1t for navigation. Within five years q small boat would be unable to go through it.
 The United States has anXieties over the Culebra cut in the Panama, but not more so than the Germans over their waterway, the Kiel canal, for the ground through which. the latter is cut is in most places nothing but peat rotten black stulf which keeps on breaking up and falling back into the canal.
 Also the bottom continually bumps up," thus lowering the depth of the passage. The craft that use the Kiel canal have to crawl along. They say that if a cruiser were to make dash through at top speed 1t would take q year and several millions of money to remedy the damage done by her stern wave.
 Each canal has it's own special trou- blcs. That of the Panama is land slides. Many nave taken place during its construction Many more will have to be dealt with in coming years. It Is estimated that if the dredging work on the Sucz were abandoned within less than ten years the Turks or my one else could cross it dryshOd. On both sides of the canal stretch miles of dry desert, from which every wind that blows lifts the sand in cdging spirals and carries it in great clouds. A sin gle storm may drop a thousand tons of sand into one mile of the canal.
 Of late years q great quantity of trees have been planted along the banks in order 10 prevent the sand from drifting into the water yet even so great steam Grcdgcrs are always at work scoopiug from the bottom the blown in sand and dumping 1t along the shore. Another trouble of those in charge of thc SueH canal Is caused by fresh water springs. which burst up in Its deep bed and pile the sand in ridges -EXChIu-c

GOES BACK TO ARIsToPHANEs
Punctuation System Said to Have Been First Employed by Famous
 Greek Philosopher.

The punctuation marks which sep arate and conclude sentences and thereby simplify the perusal of what is written are said to have been first employed by Aristophanes. The sys- tenn devised by him was not however. generally known. and soon fell again into complete oblivion. It was nearly a thousand years before similar at tempt was again made. It was in the time of Charles the Great that punctu- ation marks were again introduced i'm to writing at the instigation of the dis tinguished linguists Warnefried and Alcuin. These signs also. however. fell into disuse. The present system of punctuation. now used in all mod ern languages with but insignificant variations was introduced in the first half of the fifteenth century by vene- tian printer named Aldus Manutius. He is the real father of our punctua~ tipn marks. of the full stop. comma. semicolon, colon. question and exclam- a-ion marks. apostrophe and inverted commas. Manutius' system was adopt ed later by all printers until it finally established itself throughout Europe.
