The use Of compressed mir for barome-


trio purposes is not, as supposed by some,


b recently, discovered principle, but new


and innious applications of tile same have


been devised. Years ago, an English in


ventor proposed to produce an ipvariablo


amount of compression Of gas for this pur-
pose by means Of on invariaLle weight


compressing, in a vacuum, q miniature gas


reservoir carefully made air-tight by gid


Ping; the pressure of the air and that of tile


column of liquid would thenvary invcrsely,


hnd, by employing water or oil in the tube,


the same amount Of variation in the height


of the column might be obtained by such
o contrivance in tube offorty-two inches
|iong, similarly as is obtained with water
barometer having q tube of thirty -four feet
in length. The same inventor also pro-
posed the employment Of bulb with q
very minute aperture ut the top of the
barometer tube, by which to permit the
necessary access of air to the top of the
column of liquid-the alleged advantage of
this contrivance being the prevention Of
constant and but momentary variations in
|the height of the, column of liquid,
owing to the passage Of momentary as
cending gusts, which would otherwise
cause such constant and deranging oscilla-
lions.

The body of an unknown man was found
on Saturday evening lying under pile Of
stones in a ravine on hillside about two
hundred yards from the pike leading to
Mount Echo, near the Twenty-frst Ward.


The bones were denuded of nearly all
flesh, the chin was covered with long whis-
kers, and the skull, 10 Which patches OF
dark hair were still attached, crushed in
with some heavy missile. There were no
shoes on the feet, but pieces of black cloth
were found attached to some of the stones,
which were moreover stained by blood


1t is supposed that the man was mur-
dered some time ago and robbed. The body
was discovered by Charles Padden, who,
while hunting in the vicinity, was attract
ed to the spot by his dogs barking. Coro-
ner Stitch was notified and had the remains
removed to Habigs morgue.


The Coroner to-day held an inquest and
rendered verdict of Death from some
cause unknown to him."


None Of the witnesses could give anything
to show the mans identity.

Before Judge Longworth to-day the At
torneys in the Weber brewery con- est cass
are engaged in discussing the questions
which the Judge desires to hear, namely:


First-Whether the order of possessions
issued by the Probate Court, not being final,
but to all intents and purposes an interloe-
utory order, and not definitely settling the
rights of the parties, the execution of that
order can be enjoined by another court of
collateral or superior jurisdiction.


Second-Whether inasmuch as the order
provides that the assignee shall be put in
possession after demand first made, and
refusal to give possession. the act of the
Sheriff in putting Brigel into possession Of
the brewery, without any demand first
made for surrender of possession, was q
legal compliance with the order of the Pro-
bae Court; in other words whether, if
Brigel was entitled to possession upon de-
mand and refusal, his taking possession
without first demanding it, would render
him liable for any damages by reason of q
failure to demand, or whether it would
| vitiate the very execution of the order.

painted in a manner more than
marvellous /! A voice, musical,
grave and sonorous, Saluting us by
name, invited us to be seated. Then
the apparition gilded down the
whole length Of the scaffold to the
ground, and advanced, or rather
rolled toward us, and with a bound
established himself on the sofa at
our side.


We watched him with interest,
and had long conversation with
him. He told us he had been born
without arms, and had been a
painter ten years, and was now
making money by his art. He used
his feet with almost as much ease
as people do their hands. He wrote
his name with great rapidity, and
well, and told us he shaved himself.

Caesar Ducorent was born in
Lille, France, January 13, 1906
Born, as he was, without arms, what
was he to do, even in this busy
world? Each foot had only foul
toes, but he early learned to use
these to advantage. When very
young he could with ease throw a
ball, cut with a knife, and draw
lines on the door with chalk, and
could even cut figures on paper with
his mothers scissors. He early be-
came a good penman. From thi;
he passed to drawing, and naturally
enough to painting, the wide space
between his great toe and the next
enabling him to grasp his brush
firmly. At the age of thirteen his
progress astonished Vatican, pro-
fessor at the School of Design, Lille,
who received him as a pupil. Only
three years later he took the first
prize for a drawing of the human
figure from nature. After this he
pursued his studies in Paris. He
was of a lively temperament, and
when in conversation he became
animated, was in the habit of ges-
ticulating with his legs, as others
do with their arms.


Some one has described a visit to
his painting room, which is inter-
esting.


Across the whole extent of the
canvas ran with incredible agility,
like a fly upon the wall, the stunted
trunk of a man, surmounted by q
noble head, with expansive brow
and eyes of fire and wherever the
apparition passed along the canvas
he left traces of color behind him.
On approaching a few PAGES nearer
we were aware Of a lofty but slen-
der scafolding in front of the can
vas, up and down and across the
steps and stages Of which climbed,

impossible to describe how - the
shapeless being we had come to see.
We saw then that he was deprived
Of arms, that he has no thighs, that
his short legs were closely united to
his body, and that each of his feet
wanted a toe. BY one of his feet
he held a palette, by the other a
pencil; in his mouth he also car
ried a second brush and a second
pencil. And in all this harness he
moved, and rolled, and writhed, and

PROBABLY the most unexceptionable
axnlapation of the cause of the ascent OF
the sap iu plants has been that advanced
by NJ. Joseph Boehm. Evaporation
having deprived the surface cells of a
plant of some of their moisture, the pres
sure of the air forces them to contract.
But these cells are elastic, and have,
therefore, a tendency to return to their
original shape. In reassuming their
form they must absorb either air or
water. Their moisture obstructs the
entrance OF air, and the greater moisture
OF the nearest cells is drawn upon. The
latter, by SIMILAR osnlotic action, make
good their loss by draught upon the
next series of cells, and this is continued
throughout the whole cellular structure
down to the roots.

If anything were wanting to convince
the skeptical as to the high status of the
dog in this country at the present day, it
would only be necessary for him to at
tend one of the dog or "bench" shows
which are held in all the principal cities.
Although Englishmen have always been
more enthusiastic over these four-footed
friends than we, yet even there a great
revival occurred some fifteen years ago
when "bench' shows became common,
and rivalry led to closer study and great
improvements in all popular breeds. The
fever finally spread to this country, but
was at first confined almost entirely to
dogs used for sporting purposes, such as
the setter and the pointer; and it was not
until the occurrence of the show given
by the Westminster Kennel Club in New
York city last spring that the merits of
the transporting classes, and their right
to prominent position at dog shows,
was fully recognized. 1t was but just
that this should be 80. We cannot all be
sportsmen, and the owner of pure mas
tiff or St. Bernard, or even diminutive
terrier or pug, may take the same pride
or pleasure in the possession Of his or
her pet and companion, as the sportsman
does in his "bird" dog. Had we ever
been blessed with Landseer or Harrison
Weir in this country, it is possible that
our knowledge of the various breeds of
dogs might not be so limited. AS it is,
we are obliged to 20 to England for our
authorities and for our standards of ex-
cellence. There is but one breed of dogs
that can be said to have originated in the
United States, and that is the Chesapeake
Bay retriever, and of course the ancestors
Of this strain came from Great Britain,
although how and when is o matter of
uncertainty. Our best dogs Q speak of
the classes about which l am writing) are
all either direct importatons or about
one or two generations removed from
such, and nine out of ten persons who
are describing to you the excellencies of
their pets will say with pride that he,
or his sire or dam, was imported from the
kennels of So-and-so. In few years all
this will be changed. We are importing
the best, and with careful mating there is
no doubt but that we shall equal or ex-
eel the productions of our English
cousins. They are coming to US for their
short.horns; we may yet send them dogs.
A gentleman who breeds st. Bernards
told me recently he could almost guaran-
tee that there would be fifty entries Of
these dogs alone at the Westminster Ken
mel Club show which occurs on the 14th

The Niagara Falls Gazette has tie fol
lowing:


Two brothers, John and Patrick
ReiIley, residing at Chippewa, Ontario,
visited this place Monday, crossing the
river in ordinary row boats, one brother
arriving some time later in the day than
the other. After the business which they
came over to transact had been dispatched,
the two men started to return, about $3.50
o'clock in the evening. One Of the boats
having been taken back to Chippewa, the
two brothers started to cross the stream
together in the remaining craft. 1t is
known that both the fated men partook
more or less literally of intoxicating
drink while in the village, and in this
lies the only explanation of their suicidal
folly in choosing the route they did when
they left Port Day for their Canadian
homo. For, instead Of rowing up the
river the usual distance before attempting
to cross, the men pulled directly for
Chippewa Village. Two or three parties
who were at Port Bay when the two men
started out, noted the dangerous route
which they had taken, but as both the
Rielley brothers were known to be well
acquainted with the river, they naturally
supposed that when they found they
could not cross so low down they would
pull up and cross in one Of the usual
tracks. In apparently utter ignorance of
the rapidity with which the treacherous
current bore the boat down the stream,
the two brothers pulled steadily on their
way. AS the boat swept lower and lower,
the attention of others on the bank of the
river became attracted to the impending
catastrophe. When the boat, as seen
from the shore, had apparently gotten
we'll over into the strong Canadian cur
rent, it had drifted far down the river,
and at last, when too late, the brothers
appeared to realize their position. The
boat was headed up the stream, and the
men bent to their oars with desperate en-
ergy. Finding that they were powerless
to stem the current, and having drifted
into close proximity to the first Of the
terrible reefs at the head of the Canadian
rapids, the two men were seen to delib.
erately turn their boat around and with
steady strokes pull their craft safely over
two of the reefs. The watchers on this
side Of the river then lost sight of both
men and boat, but others on Streets
Island and in the Loretto Convent, on
the Canada shore, say that the boat safely
jumped the third reef, when boat and
men disappeared in the boiling rapids
and were never seen again.


The supposition is that when the men
determined to attempt shooting the reefs
they had faint hope that they uight
reach shore by taking advantage of the
comparatively quiet water below the
reefs-a desperate struggle for life, which
proved to be futile. Pieces of the boat
were found the next day in the river be,
low the falls, but as yet nothing has been
seen of the bodies of the unfortunate
men.


Patrick Reilley was about forty. five
years of age and was unmarried. John
was about forty years old and leaves a

sisters mourn a double loss.
