HANGED BY A GHOST. Curious Story of a Murder and the Discovery of the Crime. An old volume of the Quarterly Re view mentions a crime discovered in n most extraordinary way in Australia in the year 1830, of which a public rec ord is preserved and which figures with full details in the journals of that period. The confidential steward of a wealthy settler hear Sydney stated that his master had suddenly been called to England on important business and that during his absence the whole of his immense property would be in his exclusive care. Some weeks after nil acquaintance of the absentee settler riding through Ilia grounds was astonished to perceive him sitting upon a stile. lie strode forward to speak when the figure turn ed from him* with a look of intense sorrow, and walked to the edge of a pond, where it mysteriously disap peared. On the morrow he brought a number of men to the water to drag it. and the body of the man supposed to be on his way to England was brought up. The steward was arrestefl, brought to trial and. frightened at the story of ids mas ter's ghost, confessed the crime, stat ing that he did the murder at the very stile on which his master's ghost had appeared. He was duly executed.— Case and Comment. RUNNING UPSTAIRS. Physical Energy It Expends Quoted In Horsepower. To lift 550 pounds one foot in one second requires what is known as one horsepower. Similarly a horsepower is able to raise twice that weight one foot in twice the time, or one-half foot in just that time. Moreover, it can raise half 550 pounds one foot in half a second, or two feet in a second, and so on. Therefore when we lift one fourth of that weight. 137% pounds, four feet in one second, we are ex erting a horsepower. Accordingly, when a person who weighs 137% pounds runs upstairs at the rate of four feet a second, he is exerting the equivalent of a horsepow er. For a man weighing twice that much. 275 pounds, it would be neces sary to climb at the rate of only two feet a second to exert a horsepower. It is possible to do much more. As a matter of fact, a horse often exerts many times a horsepower. The average horse can draw a wagon up a hill where a ten horsepower engine with the same load would fall. A horse power does not represent the greatest momentary strength of the average horse, but is a measure of the power which he can exert continuously.—New York World. Airy Persiflage.
