The First Atlaa.
Press Association.

The first modern atlas was the work
Of Abraham Ortelius. Dutch geogra-
pher, who died 518 years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled "The.
atrum Orbis Terrarum," was first pub
lshed at Antwerp in 1870 and was re.
vised and reissued. five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was a folio
volume containing nearly a huadred
maps, representing the different coun-
tries and continents rs they were then
known. Although this atlas was a
momentouA achievement, yet a bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with a better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions Of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps in the volume bear only a slight
resemblance to those Of today-New
York World.

OLD CRIMINAL LAW.
When Prisoners Counsel Was Not A.
lowed to Address the Jury.

When Prisoners Counsel Was Not A.
lowed to Address the Jury.
1t seems hardly credible that only
century ago counsel were not al
lowed to address a jury in defense
of prisoner. Sydney Smith first
preached against this cruel law.
He pointed out that, while in any
court where property was concern
ed counsel was heard on both sides,
in a court where human life was
trembling in the balance only the
prosecuting counsel was heard, and
it was unfair to match a prisoner,
unaccustomed to marshal facts and
unable to speak, against skilled
counsel, whose sole purpose for its
own reputation was to win a case.
Sydney Smiths eloquent words led
to the passing of the prisoners de-
tense act, 1920, which altered the
practice.
IL Another unjust practice: which
was peculiar to the Old Bailey was
that when an accused person was
acquitted he was obliged to pay the
fees of Newgate or 60 back for
want of money. So many unfor-
tunate prisoners died in Newgate
through this that Alderman Brown,
lord mayor in 1888, caused an or
der of the court to be made that
when any accused persons were ac-
quilted by their country they
should instantly be discharged in
court without paying any fees what
soever, an order which has been
strictly adhered to ever since.
OF the challenging of juries one
remembers a tale from Ireland.
The prisoner was hard to satisfy,
and juryman after juryman was
asked to leave the box. However,
all things come to an end, even in
Ireland, and at last the swearing
of the jury was completed. And
then the prisoner leaned over the
dock and sought the ear Of his solic-
itor. 'The jury's all right now, ]
think" he whispered, "but ye must
challenge the judge. I've been con-
victed under him siviral times al
! ready, and maybe he's beginnin' to
have q prejudice. london Chron-

Indians and Time.


Certain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar Of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep is twenty-four hours. and a
moon is q month. There is also a
lnidmoon, where the sun is at II
O'Clock meridian. This hour is indi-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant 8 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
8 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was moon the time
was Indicated In the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to q certain place or how far
hs had come he would say 90 many
sleeps, OF days travel A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
nve miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-dve miles II
going In haste with message.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

A DANISH LEGEND.

Once upon a time the daughter Of
one Of the underground people, the
Bergmen, was married to a smith who
lived in Mors.
Kirstin was a good and most patient
wife, although her husband, the smith,
was cross and surly and sometimes
even beat her when he was In an III
temper.
Kirstin did not like this at all, and
one day when he had taken up a stick
intending to strike her she seized
great horseshoe which was lying on
the anvil and broke it in two without
any difficulty.
The smith was astonished. "Are you
that strong?" he asked. 'Then why
have you never resisted when 1 struck
your ..g
Because l love you," said Kirstin.
"In strike you no morew said the
smith, and he kept his word.
The people Of Mors, however, were
not friendly to the Bergman's
daughter and in spite of her desire to
be on pleasant terms with them
nod to her when they met.
One day, as she and all the people
were standing in the churchyard. wait
ing for the arrival of the minister.
Kirstin said to her husband:
"Listen to me-my father is coming
to see me, but he is angry"
As she thus warned her husband the
Bergman appeared, and a most awe
inspiring person he was! Indeed, he
was so terrible to look at that the
people would have liked to creep into
the earth to avoid him.
"My dear daughter" said the Berg
man, II hear the people here will have
naught to do with you. so have come
to remedy that"
Eyes, father" replied Kirstin. "I'n
toss them up in the air Bit" said he
''Will you pitch or catchY'
"1ll CATCH" said Kirstin, for she
feared the Bergman would handle the
people very roughly.
Then began a merry game. The Berg
man stood on one side of the church,
Kirstin, his daughter, on the other, and
the Bergman tossed all the people in
turn over the roof of the church to xir-
stin, who deftly caught them.
No one was injured, but every one
was badly scared. But the plan worked
to a charm, for so long as Kirstin lived
she was treated with the greatest re-
spect and consideration.
