Lytoeher and Lawyer.
Whilst public Bentiment is urg-
ing the abatement of lynch law,
some attention paid to the abuse of
tbe law by the lawyer would not
be inappropriate.
If tnere is anything in the coun-
try, says the Atlanta Constitution,
which should be regarded as sa-
cred, it is the courtroom. Seated
there is a judge, appointed as the
representative of concrete jnstioe,
to hear contentions. between -man
and man. The tribunal is one
which should be regarded as he-
yund approach, where e£apt ids-
tioe is done to ail who appear with-
in its portals, and whose verdiot,
solemnly reached after examina-
tion of witnesses, argument of
counsel and deliberations of jury,
shbuld stand as tbe will of society,
to be executed and not to he light-
ly set aside:
Yet, what are the facts? With-
out reference to any individual
case, and disclaiming intention as
to any special attorney, it may be
said that the manner in which the
courts have been treated by many
of them has bordered upon con-
tempt, and that the effort to en-
forewthe law has been made ri-
diculous. Ibstead of looking upon
the court as the forum of final de-
cision, parties enter it with the
seeming purpose of presenting as
ljttle of their cases as possible, so
that, in the event of’ an adverse
decision, they may be able to plead
‘ newly discovered evidence,” upon
which to gain one, two or three
uew trials and finally appeals in-
numerable to the state supreme
court; and when these avenues
give out. then to burden the rec-
ords with appeals to the United
Slates supreme court. It may be
answered that all these channels
are open to a man on trial and that
he has a right to all his privileges.
If the present method of regard-
ing the original trial as a mere
farce, and if the conviction in the
superior court amounts tp nothing
and is merely but a stepping stone
Upon which to go to still‘other
courts, why not abolish the entire
system tit once, and let the orginal
plea be to that court in whicn so
much confidence is expressed? \
These statements are made to
show that, while those who indulge'
in mob law proceed irregularly
about what they want to do,.there
is hardly more of contempt of '
■court in their action-than there is
in that of the attorney who re-
spects no court, who regards the
bench as a mere object upon which
to “practice” law, and to show
people, not how to reach a trial of
a case, but how to prevent it and
kill as much time as possible. This
conduct is demoralizing, and is one
of the reasons which prompts those
who cannot • understand the seri-‘
ousness of “practicing”, law to re-
sort to quicker and more effective
methods. If our superior courts
are not ’ properly organized it
should become the duty of the
lawyers themselves to suggest the
necessary changes, so that they
may become what they ought to
be—-courts established to decide
cases, and whose decision should
stand immutable as the state itaelf

In tha heart of New York state, ta
yond the reach of the merely curioua,
yet open to all of a scientific turn of
mihcl, i» the only inventors’ farm in the
world. There is doubtless no stranger
iduoe anywhere, for it is a farm wtoere
l >a I loons are “raiaed,” aerial schemes are
hatched and air ships are horn.
So far as the place at Frankfort,
ilurkimer county, N. Y., is surrounded
by fields and groves which give no sug-
Er<k.tioH of city life, it is a farm, hut iU
products are those of which the or?
(lin-ury former knows nothing.. For
t hese products are flying macbinek, bal-
loons, strange ships that—in theory at
least—dart through the air or skim the
ground like a bird.
Prof. Carl' E. Myers, who has estab-
lished the unique farm, is like most
men of purely scientific mind in tlsat he
is most ooneervatjrye far has ideas of
publicity, and is content to live in the
midst of waudere with his assistants
and those who, from time to time, are
associated wjt h him. If an inventor has
an idea that he will be able-to overcome
the forces Of nature and construct a
median ieal bird, it will no longer be nec-
essary (for him to spend fortunes to
work out his ideas or die without ac-
i'«mplisliin|g his life’s object. All he
needs to do’will be to go to the inven-
tors’ farm and find there willing hands
and fruitful brains, as well as all ap-.
pliances of this electrical age to assist
him.
Almost in the center of tbe big f irm
is a modern country house, standing
nmid many smaller buildings, in wnich .
are to be found the materials for every
form of experiment connected with
aeronautics. The lower portion, of the
targS house is given over to living
rooms, while a third story .and attic ex-
tending tbe length of the-building arid
Occupied by balloon apparatus, acces-
sories -and wonderful devices for the
construction of air ships.
The farm was especially selected for .
its natural advantages. There are
stretches of level ground, gently ris-
ing slopes and strong'declivities. Thus
it does not matter at what Stage of work
the inventions may be, a suitable,grade
can»always be found on the fajnn ait «
which trials eon be made. If itj be an /
air ship that has been constructed
where there is a doubt as to thlesBCt
nature of its workings, itChn beywted
on the slight grades, so that there Vill
be as- slight a risk as possible to human
life or tp the ship. //• /
Close to the main house, in a glen, is
situated one of the most important fea-
tures of the term. This is the spot de-
,Signed for the making of fabric for all
nmnnerof flying machinesamd balloons. v
()n this half acre of ground, which is V
skirried by the higher ground andIrees, ’
the fttbrjg is stretched to receive tiie
coatings of gasproof varnish. For this
application of varnish a Special machine- ,
hu« been invented and constructed by
Prof. Myers, so contrived as,to stlpply
a complete coating of .thick varnish and »
then to remove the coating with the ex- «
ceptian of'an exceedingly delicate film,
difficult to beqnmsnred by instruments.
One section o? the attkrof the big
house is a workshop containing all tools
necessary for the construction of ap-
paratus from wood, metal or te\tile, >n:
eluding lathee of various and original
designs, steam engines, all classes of
wood-working machinery and kindred
apparatus for making comparative
test*. ■ This is the section in which is
constructed the material for the full- . I
sized machine*-of the air after working
models have been tested. Another sec- .
tion of the attic is-given over to space
and machinery for the construction of
models especially bf kites, .aeroplanes,
wi no-borne or i self-propelled UtoS
winged apparatus worked by hand and
feet, gas vessels propelled by screws or
serving to support other devices for
safe trial by their inventors. ., \
In the little buildings (mattered over. *
the farm are located the gas engines and
tanks for practical ^experiments, the
chemical chambers and several furnaces-
and retorts. Some of these last-are so
strange and Unusual that their ap-
pearance suggests tbe laboratory of some
old-time alchemist rather than, a Nine-
teenth century workshop.—N. Y. Hex-
