Tetecll' rf the earth's B-tfatkM. Everytmdy knows that tho earth makes one complete revolution on its axis once every 24 bonis. Bnt few, however, have any id-a of the high rate of speed ner-jmary to accomplish that feat. The highest velocity ever attained by a nannoa ball ha latn estimated at ,t'i feet per second, whi'eh Is equal to a mile In 8.3 seciaids. The earth, in making ono revolution in 84 boars, must turn with a velm-ity nearly equal to that of a cannon ball. In short, the rate of speed at the equator baa been estimated at nearly 1,500 feet per anc and, or a mil every S.C aeconds. Therefore it has been calculated that if a cannon ball were fired duo west and could maintain Its initial velocity in dependent of the earth, and could keep op the speed with which It left the month of the gun, it would beat tho tan In his apparent Jmmey around tb earth.

"I dont believe in trying a case In a dull, routnw manner, so that It be cornea a question whether the attorney or the jurors will go to sleep first," aid & S. Coyer of Sunbury. author of "Boy or 'a Criminal Digest," to a re porter. Mr. Boyer was defending George Ruhn tn tho United States courts against the charge of imperson ating a United Ktates officer. The case proved to be one of the fiiost a Tunning that has ever been called. It was foil of funny incident from the beginning to tho end. Attorney Borer is a Pennsylvania Dutchman and has cnongh rf that ac cent to make his ronvervntion very at tractive. The first day of the trial a witness was called who, owing to aome chronic affection of the throat, waa not able to speak in an ordinary tone, bnt hail either to speak in a whisper or shout his word. Attorney Boycr didn't know this, so when the witness began to shont his answers Boyer thought he was doing it to bn dittrespcctfnl. He became angry andshonted his questions in n not very polite maimer. In his speech to the ifiry BoyeT said some very bitter things aliont the wit ness. nmngwhi(-h was, "Yon saw how much of a rowdy ho was liy his actions on the stand." He was qnite taken aback when United SUto DiHtrict At torney Hall arose and explained the wit ness' affliction. In addmwing the jnry Attorney Boyer apologized for not being ablo to priKent his case in an eloqnent manner for his soldier client, "for," ho said, "as lny client left part of his body on the luittleficld, so I left part of my voice at tho breakfast table." He bad met with an accident to his teeth. Attorney Boyer then went on to say : "In tho great book of Iwoks it aays that it is better to leave Ctt gnilty per sons go unpunished than to xnnish one inihxvnt man." Attorney Hall in closing nnwcrcd this in a neat man ner by scying : "When tho attorney for the defense qnoted abont 09 pnilty per sons from the 'book of books,' I at once prcsnmcd ho meant the BiMc. I can now sco my mistake, as that sentiment is not expressed there, for by his 'book of lawks' ho must have meant Boycr 'a Criminal Digest.' " This created a great laugh in the court. As Attorney Boycr closed his speech bo did a most uncommon thing. He turned to the jnry and said : "If there is any point yon don't understand abont this case you'd like mo to explain, just ask me tho question. I'll have to moke tho same restriction to you as I did to the supreme conrt, however. I told the jndges they were at lilierty to ask me questions concerning tho cae I had before them and not to lie afraid to do no, as theyconld not embarrass me, bnt to ask only one qnention at a time, as that was all I conld answer." This odd practice created quite a little sensatum in the court. Attorney Boyer, after almxing a witness in a terrible manner. turned and said, "If that witness wonts to see me outride after the case is over, I'll speak to him." The rase gave con stant amusement by the oddities that crej it In. and Attorney Dover's natural manner of addressing th jury seemed to take, for his client was acqnitted. Tittsburg Pixpntch.
