Dr. Clerk. who attended his lordship to the last, calling on his patient the day he died, was admittedi by the judge's old servant and clerk David Reed. "How does my lord do?" inquired the doctor. "I houp he's weel!" responded the old man, whose voice and manner at once explained his meaning. With tears streamingi down his face he conducted Dr. Clerk into a room where there were two doz en bottles of wine underneath the ta ble. Other gentlemen presently arriv t ed, and, having partaken of a glass or two of wine while they listened to David's account of his master's last C hours, they all rose to depart. "No, a no, gentlemen; not so," said the old factotum. "It was the express wish of the deceased that I should fill ye a' fou. and I maun fulfill the will o' the dead." r Dr. Clerk used to add when relating the story, "And indeed he did fuitll the will of the dead, for before the end o't there was na ane of us able to bite his I an thoomb!" The Salty Atlantio. Some odd disparities have been found to exist in the saltness of the sea water In different oceans and lati tudes. For a number of these A. Woel I kow in his book, "Ueber den Salzgehalt des Meeres," presents Ingenious ex planations. The Atlantic ocean lt known t. be about one-siLtieth more salty than the Pacific and t-o-sixtieths t more so than the Indian ocean. This is in spite of the fact that it receives i considerably- more fresh water drain age in proportion to its extent, an ap parent anomaly. But, points out the scientist, the Atlantic Itself supplies. by evaporation, most of the rain that ultimately drains back Into It The a prevailing west winds, on the other I hand, carry much of its moisture to Indian or even Pacific ocean water sheds. As no fresh water comes down to replace this lost evaporation the residue of the Atlantic becomes saltier. Inflow around the Horn and Cape of Good Hope alone prevents this process from going further than it does. A Problem at Cambridge. When Lord Rayleigh, the British sci entist, was a student at Cambridge the examiners set among other problems one which they based on an article in a German mathematical periodical sup posed unlikely to have penetrated to r Cambridge. Only two men solved it. I Mr. Stutt (Lord Rayleigh) and another. The examiners asked the other man about this problem. "Oh," he said. "I take the - (mentioning the name of the periodical), and I was very glad to find that, thanks to an article in the last number, that problem came out quite easily." When Mr. Strutt's turn came they expected a similar answer. but he astonished them by replying. "The fact is, gentlemen, that I some times contribute to -, and I could not I help feeling greatly flattered that you should have thought my little problem worthy of a place in this examination." He was awarded the prise. A Slump In Kisses. A Frenchman who apparently has a good deal of time on his hands has been amusing himself by reckoning up the number of kisses he has given his wife during the first twenty years of his married life. He finds that in the first year he dispensed about a hundred kLases a day, or, say, allowing for birth days and holidays, about 86,700 in the year. In the second year this number was reduced by halt and in the third year to ten a day, while In the fifth year his better half had to be content with two a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. What hap pened after the fifth year is "wrapped In mystery," but at the sam rate of "progression" he probably arrived eventually at one kimss on the 1st of January every leap year. *Counerl Therefor* BSergeant Kelly. a celebrity of the Irish bar, had a remarkable habit of drawing conclusions directly at varl. ance with his premises and was conse quently nicknamed "Counselor There fore."
