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.

per cent.
People directly or indirectly connect

than they have had for a decade and
apparently have all needed capital, as
