q'lloievii name up to the earth one clay,
Amato a court houseowended hie way,
Jo as a lawyer, with very grave face,
+as proceeding to argt+e the " points of the
rase."
a lawyer His 3fajesty never had seen,
F or in his dominions none ever had been,
And he felt very angry the reason to know,
Why none had been sent to the regionsbelow.
'Twas the fault of his agents, His Majesty
thought,.
That none of those lawyers haei ever been
caught,
And fol his own pleasure he felt a desire,
To come to the earth nadide reason enquire,
•Fell, this lawyer who rose with visage so
grave,
;a fade out his opponent a consummate knave,
Aud the Devil himself was greatly amused
To hear how the other was loudly abused.
But as soon as the speaker came to a close,
The counsel opposing him fiercely arose
And heaped such abuse on the head of the
,first
As made him a villain of all men the worst.
Time they quarrelled, contended, and argued
so long,
Thu 'twas hard to determine which man was
wrong ;
And concluded he'd heard quite enough of
the " fuss,"
Old Nick turned away and soliloquized thus:
If all they have said of each other be true,
The devil has surely been robbed of his due
But I'm satisfied now tl:at it's all Illy well
For these lawyers would. ruin the morals of
hell !
They have puzzled the court with their vil-
lainous cavil
And I'm free to confess they have puzzled
the Devil;
My agents are right to let lawyers alone -
11 I had them they'd swindle me out of my
throne !"
TliE WONDERS OF SCIENCE.
It is curious how narrow•miuded
some men are, and how little they care
about subjects calculated to broadeu anti
fit their mental faculties. Such a man
was half asleep on a bench at the Uniou
depot when a tall stranger with a very
l•hort linen duster on eat down beside
hila and:
• Have you calculated the pressure
per square inch which you exert on this
bench?'
The sleepy man scowled as he looked
up, and then turned away as if he didn't
want to here any more.
'Do you know.' continued linen dus-
ter whether it is dead weight or force of
gravitation which permits you to rest
on the bench?'
'No sir,' was the emphatic answer.
'What is the attractive power of earth
what force is exerted by the law of
gravitation en feet the size of yours?
Let us figure a moment.'
1 don't want to hear you balk!' snap-
ped the other as be sat up. ' I am
waltingg tor a train!'
So' ani I,' said linen duster, ' and
that opens a subject for new thought.
Do you know the weight of air dis-
placed by a train moving at 'the rate of
thirty miles an hour ?'
No, sir, nor I don't care? I'm in no
mood of talking 1'
'Suppose,' remarked linen dueler as
he squinted bis left eye at ' the sun,
that you aro waiking at the rate of six
miles all hour, do you wish to know
what pressure the air exerts upon your
forward movement? Leud me your
pencil and I will figure.'
Won't do it; and I tell you again I
don't want to be talked tot.' was the
fierce reply.
'Do you know how long it would take
a locomotive to reach the moon, run-
ning at the rate of one mile a minute?'
softly asked linen -duster.
'See here , I'll knock yonr head off
if you don't go away from me!'
'You sir, weigh abouu 160 pounds,
and have a well developed muscle; but
do you know how much force is exerted
in knocking down a human being, and
the force of atmospheric pressure to be
overcome before your fist reaches hip
face?'
I've stood your sass just Iong
enough and now you leave or I'll mop
the ground with you!' shouted the nar-
row-minded man as he jumped up and
spat on his hands.
' fare not the wonders of science in-
teresting to you?'
• No, sir.'
And don't yon care to know that
the sun is 256,000--?
No, sir! no,sir !'
'On that tho muon exercises an in-
fluence ---1' •
• No, air -go off —I don't care --go
away --you're a liar and a fraud !'
The man with the linen duster with
drew a few feet to lean against the wall
and the other went back to hie narrow
minded and selfish interests. While
the latter dozen and thought of nothing
higher than ham and eggs, the former
picked up an old nail and softly figured
out the distance travelled by a father's
arm in giving his son an old fashioned
whaling.
SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Aeeordiug to the Boston .Tournal nt'
•Cl)U7erce, at Ills semi-annual sleeting
of the New England Cotton Manufno.
turor's Association, of Boston, Pro-
fessor Ordway made a report on cer-
tain chemical properties of commercial
ell, and incidentallydiscussed spon-
taneous combustion, which is oxidating
of oil when spread out aver a largo
surface. It was found that in: time all
oil, whether animal or vegetable oil
when mixed with a mineral oil would
undergo spontaneous combustion. It
was found that cottonseed oil would
take fire even when nixed. with twenty-
five per cont. of petroleum oil; but it
was ascertained beyond a doubt that
even ten per cent. of miueal oil mix.
ed with an animal or vegetable oil went
far to prevert combustion, Pro-
fessor Ordway described some experi-
ments in other direotious, but explain•
ed that they would have to be continu-
ed before definite deductions could be
made. In oonuection with the tests of
the flashing point, experiments had
been made with ten specimens of kero-
sene oil bought at different stores in
Boston. The flashiug point should be,
at 180 degrees Fareliheit. Downer's
kerosene was found to be good at 184,
but the other epeslinens flashed ro-
spctively at 84, 80, 81, 117, 79, 73,
125, 79, 80, and 84 degrees. The Pro-
fessor was of the opinion that it was
time for somebody to look after the
kerosene oil sold and used iu Boston
when out of ten speecimeus bought at
random only one was fit for use with
safety. He remarked the fact that oils
bought ander the same name, from the
same manufacturer and at the same
price, differed very much in quality.
Another remarkable circumstance was
that some oils which flashed at a low
point were high priced, and t'ice versa.
Closing, the Professor recommended 1
that manufacturers of oil should be
aroused to a greater sense of their re-•
sponsibility.
