. wrestling Story of One of His Early
Victories at the Bar in
Springfield.
'A suit was brought in the United
tates court in Springfield, against:
't-izen, for an infringement of apatent
‘giht,’ says Thomas ‘Lewis’ Recollec-
tions of Lincolnin Leslie’s VYeekly.
r. Lincoln was employed to defend it.
i1". Lincoln went to the most- skillful
:rchitect in the city, inquiredhow he.
Ipent his winter evenings, and received
no reply: “If times are brisk I some-
;mes work; other times I have no
pecial business.” Mr. Lincoln said:
.fI have a. patent—right case in. court;
want you as a partner, and will divide
ees. I know nothing'about‘ mechan-
ics—never made it a- study. I want you
to make a. list of the best. works on
mechanism, as I don’t suppose they can
be purchased here. I will furnish the
money, and you can send to Chicago
or New York for them. I want you
to come to my house. one night each.
week and give me instruction.” In a
short time he had witnesses to meet
him, and they were thoroughly drilled.
IWhenl the trial commenced Mr. Lincoln
lput his questions at the cross-examina-
tions so scientifically that many wit-
;nesses were bothered to reply. When
‘his witnesses were put on the stand,
'so skillful were his questions that the f
,court, the jury and the. bar all woudered
{how “Abe” Lincoln knew so much
about. mechanism. His witnesses could
Ireply promptly. He gained the suit.
and a reputation such that Mr. Lin—
coln was retained in every patent-right
' «case brought into the court up to the
time he was sent to Washington. He
went- to Chicago, St. Louis, Iowa, Ohio,
=Kenltucky and Michigan to try patent-
right cases, and the last year of his
practice. did little else. , -

Rnlnored Russian Aggression.
LONDON. March 11.—A dispatch
from Allahabad, capital of the north-
west provinces of India; says it is re-
ported there from Yarkand, Chinese
Turkestan. that a large. force of Rus-
sian troops has arrived at the Russian
post, Fort Murghabi, on the Murghabi
river. in the Sari (Great) Pamir, with
the intention of seizing Sir-i-Kol, the
100 mile stretch of territory north of
the Mustagh mountains, which was left
undefined by the Pamir boundary com-
mission in 139-5. Its seizure by Russia
would cause complications with Great

In Invention That I- Much in De.
mand Among the Mines of
the lflondikc.
Miners who have returned from the
Klondike say that in that region, as in
others where the winter temperature
runs down to well below zero, the bug-
bear of the miner is the frozen soil in
which he has to work. Under the in-
fluence,of the frost the ground turns
and until this obdurate stratum is cut
through mining operations are at a.
standstill. The way in which the soil
is softened has, so far, been to build
a bonfire, and simply thaw things out.
This, however, besides being tedious,
is a great, waste of heat, 85 per cent.
of which is lost in the atmosphere. A
patent for thawing the ground electric-
ally has just been sold for a large sum.
The invention is intended to be used
for winter mining in countries where
the cold is severe. Specially-construct—
ed dynamos and electrodes are placed.
against the walls of thes’haft, with a.
space of from five to six feet of ground
intervening; so that when the curi‘ent.
is turned on it has to cross the face of ,
this space to complete the circuit. As
the ground ‘contained therein forms .
a. resistance to the motion of the elec-
tricity, heat is generated, and the
ground is thawed. The heat thus gen-
erated can be so controlled that it'can
be applied in any manner that will
utilize its full force and effect. By the
old bonfire system it took 24 hours to
freeze out a foot of soil; by the elec-
trical. system it is claimed that it is
possible to thaw out the same depth of
frozen earth in one hour, or 2-1 feet per
day.
Bernini’s Centenary.
Rome has just celebrated. the third '
centenary of Giauloren-zo Bernini, who
was sculptor, painter. architect and
dramatist. Bernini, from early child
hood until he died. at the'age of 88,
found constant employment in art. He
lived long enough to have seen not less
than ten popes. It was Urban VIII.
.who was Bernini’s great patron.
Curious Collection.
A London man who always takes a
cigar when invited out to dinner,
though he does not smoke, has now a
collection of half a. century’s accumu-
lations, ealch cigar wrapped up and la-
beled with the date and occasion» on
which it was taken.
FOLLOW THEIR LEADER.
\Vhy Sheep Not Only Do This. But
lmIItate mm in Jumping Over
Imaginary Obstacles.
The stupidity of tame sheep points to
line fact. that they are out of place and
not. in their natural surroundings.
Turn a sheep loose in the mountains
and it proves itself thoroughly at home.
One apparently silly habit of sheep

man turned it to his own purpose. This
is the extraordinary and apparently
purposel-ess way in which every flock
of sheep will “follow the leader” and
imitate him in taking jumps over en-
li‘rely imaginary obstacles. All wild
sheep go in flocks and implicitly obey a
leader. If this leader, who keeps watch
fdr the public good. gives an alarm the
rest. do not question his wisdom, but
simply follow him. for in mountain
regions to wait till the chasm or ob-'
stacle the leader has seen is seen
by .each member of the flock might.

tame sheep to crush out.
' Christian Science Church.
In an address delivered at aChrisrtian
Science meeting in Brooklyn recently
the statement was made that theremre
seven Christian Scientist churches in
Greater New York and 13 in the imme.
diate vicinity, 38 churches and congre-
gations in the state of New York and
' about 30,000 adherents of the faith in
the state. It- was also claimed that
there are 1,000,000 Christian Scientists
in this country.
