PROSECUTED FOR HOMICIDE. A Bull That Killed a Man Found Guilty, Sentenced to Death and Exe cuted-Fate of a Cock That Was Charged With Having Laid an Egg. Among the many curious customs of the past is recorded a singular feature of the jurisprudence of the middle ages, when animals were indicted for injuries inflicted upon human beings. The custom was not -abolished in France until the middle of the eight e eenth century, and the French court records show that at least ninety-two - trials took place between 1120 and 1741. There is some Biblical precedent for these proceedings, for in the twenty first chapter of Exodus one finds, "If an ox gore a man or a woman that they die, then the ox shall be stoned and his flesh shall not be eaten." An early instance of the custom was in 1314, when a bull escaped from a S farmyard in a village in France in the 5 duchy of Valois and gored a man to death. The Count of Valois, being in formed of the case, directed that the bull be captured and formally prose cuted for homicide. This was done, and evidence was given by persons S who had seen the man attacked and killed. The bull was thereupon sen tenced to suffer death, which was in -ficted by strangulation, after which the carcass was suspended from a tree by the hind legs. In 1380 a sow was executed in the square of Falaise for having caused the death of a child, and three years later a horse was condemned to death at Dijon for having killed a man. In 5 1437 a sow and her six young ones were tried at Lavegny on the charge of having killed and partially eaten a child. The sow was convicted and condemned to death, but the little ones were acquitted on the ground of their extreme youth and inexperience, the bad example of their mother and the absence of direct evidence of their having partaken of the atrocious feast F One of the- most grotesque of these trials took place in Basel when a farmyard cock was tried on the ab surd charge of having laid an' egg. It was contended in support of the prose cution that eggs laid by cocks were of inestimable worth for use in certain magical preparations, that a sorcerer would rather possess a cock's egg than the elixir of life and that Satan em ployed witches to hatch such eggs, from which proceeded winged serpents most dangerous to mankind. The prisoner's advocate admitted the facts of the case, but contended that 1 no evil intention had been proved and - that no evil result had taken place. r Besides, the laying of an egg was an involuntary act and as such was not t punishable by law; also there was no record of the devil having made a com Spact with an animal. The public pros. 1ecutor stated in reply that the evil one sometimes entered into animals, as In the case of the swine which drowned themselves in the sea of Galilee. -So the poor creature was convicted - not as a cock, but as a sorcerer or per haps the d-evil in the form of a cock, - whereupon the bird and the egg thai ;was attributed to It were solemnly burned at the stake. - Even stranger than this were the - proceedings instituted In 1445 and 1487 S against certain beetles which had made ihavoc in the vineyards of St. Julian. 3Advocates were named on behalf of -th'e vine growers and the beetles re spectively, but by a singular coinci Sdeuce the Insects disappeared when 1 cited to answer for the mischief they had done, and the proceedings were in Sconsequence abandoned. That was in 1445. In 1487, how Sever, they reappeared, and a complaint -was thereupon addressed to th'e vicar Sgeneral of the bishop of Maurienne, ]who named a judge and also an advo - cate to represent the beetles. A comn epromise was finally agreed upon, twherin the vine growers consented to S cede the beetles certain fields to their exclusive use. Some time after the beetles, through their attorney, pro tested that there was a right of way through these fields which would be to their detriment. Consequently the case had to begin again, but how it -ended is not known, owing to the muti lation of the records.--F. C. Evans In New York Pest 1HE ATE TH E SOAP. O arland Would Have Swallowedit If It Had Killed Him. SAugustus H. Garland, who was at torney general under Presidenrt Cleve - and, was very fond of practical jokes and during his term of service in the senate frequently turned the laugh on his colleagues. Senators Voorhees and Vest, with whom he was very friendly, inally determined to tur-n the tables. Mr. Garland had a habit, like Voor hees. of mnunching candy, and Vest and Toorhees mnade it up between them to ta!ke advantage of his fondness for weets to play their trick. They had somne temptinng looking chocolate cara mels prepared, with the interior filled with browvn soap. These they took to the senate chamber, and Voorhees placed them on his desk. The lid being o ff, when Mr. Garland sauntered down the aisle he noticed them at once. "What have you there, Dan?" he In quired. Voorhees looked up carelessly from his writing and responded: "Cararnels. Help yourself." Garland needed no second inv~ftation and, picking up two or three, placed one in his mouth. Steadily he- chewed away, his face betraying no slgn of the conflict within him. 'his alarmed Voohees, who went to Vest'sedesk and samd: "lHe's eating them, Vest' What shall we do? The stuff will kill him sure!" -Senator Vest replied that it could do no more than make l.im sick. Garland swallowed the stuff, although he was foaming at the mouth from the soap suds. He related the incident after ward with great gusto and said he would have swallowed it if it had killed him. -As to a Courtship. "Hes telling everybody that she is his first love." "And she?"

WHIRLS WITH AWFUL SPEED It Spins Around at Such a Fearfu Gait That a Furious Gale Perpetual ly Encircles Its Equator-its Possi ble Inhabitants and Its Moons. It is curious how little the averag< person knows about Jupiter. He ha; heard a lot, too much perhaps, abou Mars, but that world, 1,300 times the size of ours, whirling in the terribl outer distance of space with its fv moons, its 144 months yearly, knows as Jupiter is almost if not quite a mys tery. In the first place, Jupiter, accordini to some astronomers, Is inhabited So are some of its moons, in thi midst of which the great planet spin around like a top at such tremendou speed that it causes around the equato a furious wind that blows perpetuall: at a rate of about 250 miles an hour. In the midst of this never ending howling gale live the Jovians. Som, astronomers say that because Jupite Is so much bigger and heavier that the earth no creature of any weigh can support itself. A. man weighin 200 pounds on this earth would, if cat ried to Jupiter, weigh 500 pounds, and reasoning thus, they believe that noth ing bigger than a cat could stand of this vast world. But this is no doubt a mistake. I Jupiter stood still or revolved no faste than our earth all that astronomy say would be true, and a terrestrial ma could not stand upon its surface. Bu as a fact the tremendous rate of revc lution is so much faster than th earth's that in spite of its monstrou size it turns about in less than te hours as against our twenty-fou hours. As it is, a man of normal earthl; size, if transported to the equator : Jupiter, would actually feel muc: lighter than he does here on earth, be cause the swift rotation of the plane would almost lift him from his fee and throw him into the heavens. H would feel so light that the 250 mil an hour tornado that blows incessan ly would pick him up and carry hit around and around the planet like speck of dust. In order to keep on his feet th Tovian man or woman would have t be about fifty feet tall. Some of thei would doubtless reach the height c fifty-five feet. Like all big bodies, th Jovian would have a tendency to slog ness of motion. Having once seate himself, he would spend a good twel hours at his breakfast and perhap eighteen at his dinner and would prol ably throw up his job if his employe allowed him less than six hours fc his lunch. The oceans of Jupiter, torn into fur by the hurricanes, would pay no atter tion to one moon such as moves th tides on our earth, and it takes a fewer than five of these satellites i perform this work for Jupiter. The travel at various rates of speed, son: flying very close to Jupiter's surfac and others far off. They have atmo! pheres somewhat like ours on earti and a moonlight on Jupiter is indeed glorious sight, for these moons have variety of colors, Two are blue, or is yellow and one red. Jupiter needs all its moons at nig] for illumination, for without them 11 five hours of darkness would be blac indeed. So distant is the sun thi broad dayllght is hardly brighter tha twilight on earth, and one lone moc would not reflect enough of the sun rays to guide the Jovian footsteps. In the polar and semipolar areas tU 250 mile an hour tornado of the equi ton is not present. Doubtless there al eddies and occasional windstorms suc as there are on earth. And in thes localities - it is possible for smallE creatures to exist, and here, too, vegl tation would- flourish. The food su: ply of Jupiter must come from thef areas, where it is cultivated and shij ped to the equatorial regions by tU diminutive races. The polar oceaz are not frozen because of the gree internal heat of Jupiter. And on thei still oceans probably ships not great] different from ours ply, but about tU equator the unending storm woun make surface sailng impossible. If there are ships at all at the equi tor they are submarines, which di1 into the calm depths beneath the su face. Locomotion by flying machine is extremely easy on the equator b cause, by taring advantage of tU wind, the Jovians can navigate the planet at tremendous speed. It is possible that because of ti noise in the wid sw~t equator tU Jovian is deaf. Quite likely, on the other hand, I has good ears, but with a device, eith< artificial or contributed by nature, ft stopping his esas except when I wshes to listen. This tremnendous, good natured J vian has a leather-lke skin to protei himself from the scratches of flyi things and a device for sifting the a that he breathes, for Jovian atmo phere Is full of dust, and in spite the difflculties of his existence be is log lived gentleinn On the averai he exists for about S00 of our year Probably many a Jo'ylan exists a ft thousand of our little years.--Detro News-Tribune.

"Of all the gourmets on land or water," said the captain, "commend me to the grampus." The ladies at the captain's table looked with inquiring smiles at the handsome sailor. "The grampus," he went on, "is a kind of overgrown shark or a kind of undersized fighting whale. You can take your choice. At any rate, he Is a terrible creature to meet with if you happen to be aquatic. "He and his mate travel together. Sometimes they have a friend along big, fine, strong chap, as such friends usually are. And their game is the bowhead whale. "When they find a whale they go gt him. They stick to him invincibly. They punch and thump till he is as limp as a rope of seaweed with ex haustion. Then, by means of one hor rible deed, they show their unexam pled gluttony. "They take hold of the whale's lower lip; they hang their weight on It until it drops open. Then in go their heads, disappearing inside that great red mouth, that warm, moist cavern of scarlet, and they eat in there the whale's tongue, a tender tidbit, very rich and delicate. "The tongue consumed, they go on their way again, leaving the whale tc die slowly."-New Orleans Times-Dem ocrat. WHITE ISLAND. Its Strange Lakes, Sulphur Fumes anc Clouds of Steam.
