The Expert's Theory. Oue of the older members of the Baltimore bar tells tins anee doto of the late Severn Teackle Wallis as illustrating the clever ness and s ii' asm of Mr. Wallis: Mr. Waili.s was defending the will of a wealthy testator, and, as the law say, wheu the estate is lar .jwyer "will wrestle with e w with a will. " A prom inent (.T.ysician was called to testify for those contesting the will. The doctor became rest less under the lengthy aud ex haustive cross examination of Mr. Wallis, and finally he potu tantly exclaimed. "Oh, Mr. Wallis, I believe the lestor was insane!" Mr. Wallis kept his temper aud said quietly: "Doctor, you are the first person who has ever intimat ed iu or out of court that the test ator was insane. Why tlo you say he was insane?" "I believe," the doctor replied "that every man is more or less insane on some oue subject." "Is it your deliberate profes sional opinion," Mr. Wallis then asked, "expressed here iu court under oath, that every man is more or less insane on some sub ject?" "Yes," the doctor replied; "I will say here under oath that from my reading, knowledge aud ex perience I believe that every man is more or les insane on someone subject." Then Mr. Wallis said iu that tine tone sarcasm for which he was noted, "Doctor, has it ever occurred to you that you are in sane on the subject of insauity?" Immediately the doctor tired up and exclaimed, "But, Mr. Wallis. I am not insane!" Mr. Wallis arose aud said: "Doctor, according to your owe sworn theory, you must be insane on the su bject. I pronounce you insane on the subject of insan ity." Court.juryandspectatorslaugh ed aloud, and nothing more was said about the testator being in sane. Baltimore Sun. Saves Two From Death. They Don't Linger in Midocean, but Go to tho Bottom. What becomes of the ships that sink at sea? l)oi they go all the way to the bottom or do they meet somewhere under the surface a certain pressure that buoys them up and holds them ittcquilihrum? Somebody, we forget who it is, has given iviu to his growsom fancy and pictured all the ships that have been Inst in 'uidoceati ! as wandering about like so many ghosts half way between the sur face ami the bottom. There is no foundation, what ever, for such a notion, though many persons have it. Any ob ject that will sink beneath the surface of the sea will go all the way to the bottom. The pres sure encountered on the way down, which is simply enormous in the deeper parts, has nothing to tlo with the object's sinking, for it is exerted on tho water thus equalizing the condition. The reason why the object sinks to the bottom is that water is not compressible; at least it is so little so that its density at the bottom of the sea is only a tritle greater than it is at tho surface. Scientists tell us that the water at the bottom is just about as much denser than the water at the surface as sea water is denser than fresh water. This slight difference iu densi ty, therefore, does not and cannot stop the downward course of a sinking ship or any object that is heavy enough to sink rapidly beneath the surface. Pressure, as we have said, is not a factor in the case at all. Chicago Record. Seven Years In Bed. "Will wonders ever cease?" in quire the friends of Mrs. L. Pease of Lawrence, Kan.

Gaylord, a professor of the New York Pathological laboratory, that lie has located the cause of cancer in an animal , parasite. If this theory is substuntiated.it will un doubtedly awaken tho hope that the dread disease can be cured. This hope is based on the belief that a cancer antitoxin will be fbund that will provoas enicacious us that used for diphtheria, ty- J phoid fever aud hydrophobia.

Russia lias elaborated a system for the protect isn of her forests as stringent iu its provisions as if it were instituted for the pro tection of human beings. Only so much wood may be cut down annually in each locality as will becompousatod for by the growth of the remaining trees, and all the clearances made are immedi ately replenished by young plants. Even private owners or forests are not permitted to cut their trees except under government in spection. No absolute owner ship iu trees is now recognized, in fact, but that of the state. As a matter of fact a very large part of the Russian forests belong en tirely to the state. The largest private, or rather semi-private, proprietor is the administration imperial appanages which pos sesses numerous estates the re venues from w hich are devoted to tho support of the members of the Russian imperial family. The total area of tho estates is a good deal over 20,0o0,0t0 acres. I !cing situated in the most diverse districts, an extraordinary variety of subtropical aud temperate nat ural productions is cultivated, including sugar, tobacco, cotton, wine, tea, fruit, roses, as Well as grain of evei'y kind. Tho princi pal culture however, at any rate in extent, is timber, forests cov ering nearly 15,UOU,0U0 acres of tho total. In tho exportation of these forests tho greatest care has to bo given.

A difficult operation was per formed the other diiy at the zoo logical gardous at Hanover. Au elephant was suffering great pain from a growth on the lower part of one of its hind feet, and it was deemed necessary to cut this mal formation away. In order to ren der the animal insensible a doso of COO grains of morphia in six bottels of rum was administered. This dose took about an hour be fore any visible effect was produc ed. The elephant then fell over in a kind of sleep, and the opera tion was successfully carried out without any further ado. The operation lasted in all three days. London Globe.
