New Method Of Soldering.

An electric soldering iron of radical
IS new design has recently made its
appearance in the United States. In
stead OF employing the usual form OF
electric heating unit to heat the solder
ing iron, two carbon or carborundum
high resistance points are mounted a
fraction of an inch apart, and so placed
that the article to be soldered is
bridged across them. The two points
become incandescent, and apply their
heat at the spot desired. Whereas it
requires from eight to twenty minutes
to heat the usual form of electric iron,
the new soldering device is instantly
ready for use II consumes current
only during actual use, and eliminates
all losses of heat through conduction
and radiation incidental to the usual
irons. in which large mass Of metal
must be heated.

Ransom, it seems impossible that
a high servant of Justice could be thus
influenced"
Did you notice yesterday, Nettie,"
proceeded Ransom, that when the OPP
posing counsel tried to deny a point
of law l made, the Judge sustained
him, for it greatly weakened my case.
l knew ! was right, but | never
dreamed that they would deny an es-
tablished point in legal Jurisprudence"
But the Judge gave you until this
morning to submit your authorities in
your contention suggested Nettie.
Yes, because he knew it would be
next to impossible for me to prepare
them on that prescribed limit Of time.
The law library of the bar associa-
ton was closed. AS you know, l have
few reference books myself. Besides,
it would have been an all night task

"Oh, brother" exclaimed Nettie. Il

she helped her father a great deal in

point came up in your argument when
the Judge demanded presidents, she
said that it was pity you had not

Nettie walked with her brother to

Work of Ghouls Frustrated.

A gruesome mystery recalling the
ghoulish days when body snatching"
was rife, Is reported from Athlone,
Ireland. The body of young woman
was recently laid to rest in the family
plot at Kiltoom graveyard. Notwith-
standing that the burial ground is
within sight of the public road and
nearly opposite police barrack, das-
tardly attempt to remove the corpse
was almost successful. Not alone was
the earth removed, but the coffin was
partially lifted. and when the outrage
was detected 1t was apparent that the
evil-disposed perpetrators had been in
terrupted in their unnatural and grue-
some work. The coffin was standing
upright in the grave. The sanitary of.
ficer was notified and the coffin was

only "quid pro uunc" they could hope

So his fellows were on the lookout
for some suggestion or plan where

an episode came TO the front that

NO CHANCE FOR AGREEMENT
Very Evident That These Russian Men
of Letters Could Have Nothing
at All In Common.

Stassov, the Russian critic. was
once arguing with Turgenev, the Rus
sian novelist, whose rather supercil-
ious attitude toward the art Of young
Russia Infatuated the critic.
At last the novelist, wearied with
what he called this chewing of dried
grass" showed signs Of yielding to
Stassov's onslaughts.
Now, I see you agree with me, "
cried Stassov in triumph.
This acted like the dart planted in
the hide of the weary or reluctant
bull According to Rosa Newmarch,
Turgenev sprang from his chair and

memorandum OF the authorities and
she handed Ransom several folded
sheets of paper closely written over.
An hour later when the case was
reviewed and Ransom cited his au
thorities. the opposing counsel looked
angry The latter was more censorious
and unfair after that than ever. how
ever. Finally the attorney for the de-
Tense introduced an unexpected wit
ness. He swore to investigating GER
tain points in the case. decidedly ad
verse to Ransom's client From the
start Ransom discerned that the man
was base perjurer.
He was unable to oppose any con-
Trajectory testimony. The odds of
knavery and falsehood were too many
for him, he realized. From that mo-
ment Ransom was sure that the case
was lost.
He looked surprised as bailiff
came from beyond the railing and
handed him folded note lnvoun-
tarily he glanced up at the two young
ladies in the gallery. From there
his sister smiled and Miss Adams
seemed to bow encouragingly. Ran.
som knew that the note must be from
the latter He opened it. to read the
puzzling sentence:
ASK the witness If he was an in
vestigator five years since in the
Evans bribery case. Then tell him
that is all Then say to the judge
that you intend to recall the witness
in the sur-rebuttal testimony"
When the opposing attorney had
completed his Questioning, Ransom
arose to his feet
Your honor" he spoke not sure OF
! new friend of his extremity. Il wish
! to ask the witness only one question
| Were you an investigator in the
/ Evans bribery case?"
The witness gave great start. His
! face paled. He graspcd the arms Of
his chair in which he sat to steady
himself
"Yes," he choked out like one UNI
der some fearful spell of terror.
That is ALL bowed Ransom calm
ly Your honor I wish to announce
that I will recall this witness in the
sur-rebuttal testimony
THE Judge is ill' cried a bailiff
and rushed to the side of the jurist
who had turned deathly pale, had
tainted suddenly on the bench.
The court was adjourned in some
confusion. The next morning the
Judge, looking az though he had
passed a night OF intense suffering, an
nounced that the DEFENSE had decided
to withdraw from the case and judg
ment was given for the plaintiff, and
the latter and his gifted young attor
ney were rich men!
Il was only when he had become
acquainted with Miss Adams that the
latter explained the mystery Of hel
fortuitous hint.
1T must never come out" she said
"for 1t is secret, but l recalled {
case where my father had told mt
Judge Allison had accepted a large
bride. Your allusion to 1t caused
him to fear that the truth would come
out For once at least he was obliged
to decide case fairly"
And. when they had become still
better acquainted, Ransom Bairt
asked Honoria Adams the sweetes
query human lips can frame: "Wil
you become my wife," She did no
say NAY"

FOUNDED VILLAGE ON ROCK
Acoma Indians Have Probably the
Strangest Settlement in the
United States.

Perched on the top Of a great rock
in the neighborhood of 300 feet high
stands Acoma, in some respects the
strangest village in this country. AGO.
ma is an Indian settlement of some
600 people. and means The People OF
the Rock" Though the founding of
the village is lost in the mist of an
tiquity, it is supposed the Acoma In
dams chose this site as a measure of
safety against the warlike Apaches and
Navajos of their day. Their selection
was made with admirable judgment,
for the walls of the rock are almost
perpendicular. The earliest Spanish
explorers found the tribe settled Sc
curely in their natural fortalice. AGO.
ma has remained delightfully."- I'M
touched by the influences of Spanish
and American civilization. These In
dams are quite well.to.do in sheep and
cattle, which are pastured on the graz
ins lands of the valley, where summer
villages are located, and where the
minimum of effort Is required to care
for the flocks and herds. Although less
than twenty miles from railroad, the
village is comparatively unknown. The
natives do not care for curious visitors
They do not wish to be stared at and
photographed. Nevertheless. the ir.
repressble tourist with his camera oc-
casionally scales the sleeps that baf-
fled the Navajo Nowadays. it is no
longer practicable to suppress him
with tomahawk, so the Acoma are
philosophically making the best of a
bad job by collecting two dollars day
for a camera license. The gray adobe
village peers from its eyrie over miles
OF gray plain, dancing in the glare OF
burning sun, broken only by the
sheer outlines OF buttes and mesas.
