Keeping Sheep Warm.

Through the ingenuity of certain
ranchers in the state of Washington
their sheep were kept warm during
the intensely cold weather of last
year by a most unusual device. A
supply of natural gas on the land
where the sheep grazed had been piped
and the gas issued from it at high
pressure. The ranchmen in the vi
cinity devised a metal hood which they
fastened over the upper end of the
pipe. When the gas was lighted and
allowed to flow freely it made Il cir
cular canopy of flame which heated the
air for considerable area. In this
warmed region the sheep gathered
and were kept warm in weather that
would otherwise have proved fatal.

Mohammedan Law Barred.

MOhammedan law does Hot run In
England was decided by the lord chief
justice recently. Doctor ,, Nir-Auwa-
ruddin, Mohammcdan, and member
of the English bar. married In 1913, an
English lady named Ruby Hood. After
some time they separated and the lady
lived apart from her husband. The
latter then began proceedings and OBJ
tanned an order for restitution of con-
jugal rights, but this was not complied
with, and proceedings for divorce were
then begun by the wife, but were dis
missed. Now, according To MOhamme-
dan law, if the husband gives his wife
writing of enforcement" or as ii Is
called "Talak," this constitutes n di-
vOrce. Mir-Auwarudding did this and
then applied for marriage license to
enable him To marry again. This was
refused, and the lord chief Justice sit
ting with Justices Darling and Bray,
upheld the refusal on the ground that
as the applicant was married in Eng
land under the English law, to an Eng
fish lady, the original marriage held
good, and must be dissolved In an Eng
lish court of law. The religious law
of the applicant was not recognized.
