Mixup With a Mule.

The we'll known but inexplicable dis

slble for an eXasperating and at the
time amusing series Of episodes in the
camps Of the Seventh, Seventy-tirst and
the Twelfth OF New York. Especially
recalcitrant are the mules Of the Sew
enth. BY orders of Colonel Fisk a cor
raj was being erected around the faith
full, noisy but essential aids to the sol
der when the preliminary dust storm
that heralds a rain in that part of Tex
as came clustering out of the east. The
mules decided the corral was no place
for them. and several jumped the bar
rier and Went in the general direction
Of Mexico.
1t was time for quick action. One of
the first men to grab a mule and at
tempt to subdue it was Private Thorn

dollars for a film of the wrestling match
between Private Brown and the mule.
The mule won, but Private Brown
came out Of the encounter With glory
and mud and also equipped with much

Natures Methods In Building These

Coral reefs surround many of the is
lands in the Pacific. They protect the
lowlands from the washing of the

them are the only harbors of refuge for
ships. The reefs themselves furnish
the greatest peril to navigation. and if
there were no inlet through which Il
vessel could enter their protected cir
Gle they would be Il danger and nothing
else.
But almost every reef has such an
inlet 1t is a necessary result Of the
laws under which the forces of nature
work. To understand this we must see
how these reefs are formed.
Chemically the reef corals are almost
pure carbonate of lime. he Substance

to the gentiles this cause had been
laid upon him by the leaders of the
church. and he carefully presented its
appeal to every congregation. 1t is a
topic that comes out again and again

EARLY TRADEMARKS.
When First Used They Were Without
Any Protection In Law.


Any Protection In Law.
The recognition of trademarks by
English law may be said to date only
from the beginning of the nineteenth
century,, but the use of trademarks
was, of course, of far earlier date.
SO far back as the reign of James l.
a certain clothier applied the mark OF
another clothier to his own inferior
goods, but the reports of the lawsuit
which ensued leave it doubtful whether
the action was brought by the owner Of
the mark or by an indignant customer,
in which latter case it would simply be
an ordinary action for fraud.
In 1742 Lord Haruwicke declared
that "every particular trader has some
particular mark or stamp At the
the protection of the law to the "Great
Nogul' stamp on cards. He was APP
parently under the impression that the
legal recognition of trademarks meant
the creation of a new kind of monop-
oily, and he made up his mind to obvi-
ate such possibility.
Lord Eldon, on the other hand, re
pcatedly granted iniunctions to re
strain one trader from frauuulently
passing OFF, his goods as those Of am
other and thus helped to lay Il founda-
ton on which the present trademark
law has been built up in successive
stages.-Lonuon Standard.

"Swipe" the Foul Balls.

Only in W. American league cities

fouled into the grand stands and

would rather go to Jail than fitch a
dime from a neighbur has no com
FUNCTIONS whatever about appropriate
Ing a league baseball that is worth ten
times a dime.
The cost of the balls lost to grand
stand spectators in the course of d
season in New York is large.
The whole thing seems to simmer
down to the assumption that the
world likes to fool a policeman. par.
ticularly if he is a special officer. The
1mbeclllty Of a sane citizen making

ludicrous spectacle of a special officer
