I ha Kangir.g Judge.
When Lord Xorbury , "the Imnginjj
judge. " as hovas called in Ireland ,
was senteacinsr a man to death foi
stealing a Avatch , he said :
"My good fellow , you made a grasp
at time and caught eternity. "
Nothing seemed to please Lord Xor
bury more than the continual uproar in
court , created by his puns. '
"What is your occupation , my honest
man ? " he asked a witness.
"Please , your lordship , I Iicep a
racket c.ourt. "
"So do 1/4 said the judge.
When Lord Xorbury was bciu-i
buried , the grave was so deep that the
ropes by which the undertaker was let
ting down the coffin didn't reach to the
bottom. The coffin was left hanging
midway while somebody went for new
ropes.
"Aye , " cried one in the crowd , "give
him rope enouerh : don't stint him. no
was the boy that never grudged rope
to a poor body. "

Proof of Martian Life.
That life is in Mars is founded onm
assumption , but on inasceJ evidence
that is conclusive , and the reader
should realize that opposition to the
idea that we now have proof of life
on Mars is not based on reason , but on
emotion , however speciously cloaked.
All scientilie objections have been met
