The history of tri'ctna lircen ami Its inarrliiKes rests iiion the aliouiiiiHlile marriage laws of Scotland. We call them iitiomltia ble. for they are the clime of the Scot tish Kenenlojry. The marriage laws In Scotland were and are (for they re main uualleredi atrociously simple, mil therein lay the temptation and at traction of liretna lircen.

The black smith's shop on the high road north from Carlisle was the most easily ac cessible, mid was probably the bct-t known, but there were some houses Just over the bolder which kept wit iiefscH at hand, and retained a reglste. of the contracts entered into. The registers were a secondary matter, and tlie fee demanded were frequent ly large and. where secrei was an object, extortionate. Those (irctna (irccn mar-lages stl!l occasionally ake place, though now only hctwiH'ii residents in the neigh. borliiMid; but as similar eeremonl" take place all over Scotlanl. there Is nothing esH'clally distinctive about the contracts made at tin se (iretni (irccn marrying shops.

"Suppose .1 cannon was mounted on 1111 engiii '," Raid one of the Inner Circle, "and as " "Aw! tliat'a as old as l'tittl," sticcreil a prlvilcKcd guest, "and as simple as A 1! C." "Shut up," replied the charter mem ber calmly, "and listen to the proposi tion. S'posc a cannon was iuouiitii on tt locomotive, pointing backward. The cannon Is so charged that It car ries a ball ex.tctlj one mile lu exactly one minute ami the engine Is movluA r.e'wnrii at a-mlliwt-mliiutc sp 1. Svheti Hie cannon la II red what be comes ot (be ball '" "I'lalii as illy," dii hired the privi leged guest, who hud been fidgeting 1 if the stiteinirt. "When tin camion Is fired the ball begins lis (light anil tliercaf ler has nothing to do with the engine 01 the gun. It simply wings through space for a mile from I l.H point of departure, and there it stops. This, according to the proposi tion, requires one minute, during which time the loeomotlve has heel, travelling steadily 111 the opposite dl reelloii at eiptal speed, ami lias, there fore, also covered one tulle from the place of explosion, instance between tv ooti.t ot arrival and tinlnt ut wlileo ball drops, two miles. It's clear as hy drant water, lituime a cigarette, solnelioily." "Your extila.tatloii Is dead wrong" said a member who had 1 11 thin'; lug swiftly. "It Ignores the most "S set. Hal factor lu the whole problem. You must remember, when the cannon Is tired. Unit 'he engine Is traveling in tlie opposite direction at the rate of a mile a minute. In other words, the 1 11 Ik-, or gun Itself, is being drawn away from the ball at exactly the same specii the ball wontil iievciop tr the L'lin was stationary, thus neutral K lllg Hie effect of the powder. "It Is as If you struck at a iiuin at the rate of ten feet a second and leap cd backward at the same tspe". Naturally, you wot.ldn't hit him. I'll' ball, of course, simply drops at tho mn.zle of the ci-tiuon. It don't go an Inch. It Is Inert, dead and motlonles!, resembling, in ti.at respect, tlie think tug inai hinc of tin gentleman who has Just favored us with his amusing "Itclav Ihei'T' exclaimed tlie poi"t laurlale id the Quarticr l.atln. "do'i't get so any and haughty'. You've dim ly apprehended tlie principle Involved, lint you've still away olT yourself from the real I'earl of Truth. Listen to the only genuine Ituihlhii: Your explana tion Is based on tlie assumption th u tlie sp 1 of fie ball and speed of til.' engine neutralize each other because they are eipial." "Yep." admitted the charter mcinliei grudgingly. "I'rc cisely.'; continued the poet, "anil there, my hiiv. is where vim fall down. Their speeds an' not cnal. "The engine is moving forward lit .1 mile a minute mill goes as fast at one part of its Journey as at another, but the speed of I !n- ball, on the contrary, Is constantly diminishing, until , t drops, spent at tlie end of its flight. It Is evident, therefore, that It starts nt much more titan a mile a minute, and as eiiuility if speed Is tlie basis of vour childish theory, you will consider yourself siiu Ichi d. Tell tlie minion to pass the irrowler." The charter member leaped wrat'.i fnii.v to IiIm feet nnd live others bciriiu to talk slmulliioeoosly.

This problem was unfortunate, but It Illustrates most of the affairs of life. YVe are deceived by surface simplicity, rush widely at conclusions ami take a cropper over some small, unobstrusive fact which we hadn't noticed. "Tlie cannon conundrum reeks with fiendish subtleties. Tlie ball, for ex ample, partakes of the momentum of the engine, which must be overcount before It budges. Then again, it is Im portant to know whether it was fired with or against tlie revolution of the earth. Again you must determine what percentage of tlie speed of tlie projec tile Is developed before It reaches the iiiuz.le. ami that in turn involves the length of the tube ami character of the bore. "These are things It would take a skilled inatheiiiatlclan 'stocu mouths to figure out. They would carry them In to illilerentlal calculus and probably in to tlie asylum.
