Very few pespls who have not eith- er been brought up in Beotlsnd or spent a considerable time in that country are aware how widely and fundamentally it differs in its system | of jurisprudence from the remainder of the British Empire. The following no means exhausts the subjeci--will prove of general in terest, says Ideas: It will be curious to a that no marriage ean legally take place in Scotland, whethe 3 the sheriff, the minister of the Established Church, or the humblest di ting ** ry without the previous Intervention of the registrar of marriages. Banns are not necessary, but only the Church of Scotland 'can validly . publish them. When this method is followed, how- ever, a certificate from the clerk of. the kirk session must be taken fo the registrar certifying that 'the banns were duly. published and ho objee- offered... Upon this the. suthorization to the minister of any denomination--who is to pet form the ceremony, and with it a document to be filled up and returned to the registry. To conclude this sec- tion, il any people form the a gregatiop of--say--New ns Appointing a bishop and presbyter and 80 on, order that any of these "ministers" is regarded by them ss suthorized to marry their members, every marriage thereafter ""célebrated"' or "solemnized" or peglormed by an such person is regarded by Beotti law as a legal and valid marri resolvable only by divorce on sta tory grounds. Iv is frequently assert ed that marriage law is very loose in Scotland, but this is the opposite of the truth. Scottish law es it as nearly impossible for a man to "fool" & woman as it is possible to do. In England and Ireland solicitors all rank alike. In Scotland "writer" is the equivalent of solicitor; then there is a grade above that, the "writer to the signet"; and, still high- er, the "writer" who is a "8.C.C."-- solicitor to the Supreme Court. There are no barristers in Scotland, the equivalent being advocate, the equiv- alent of a crown prosecutor is the ad- vocate depute'--that is, the deputy of the Lord Advocate, who is, again, in Scotland, the equivalent of the Attor- ney-General, but his powers are much greater than the latter. Then n, there is no such thing as a K.C. in Scotland. Many Scottish lawyers are entitled to put "K.C." after their names, but these are also members of the English or Irish Bars, Furth- er, "B.L." does not indicate barrister- at-law in Scotland; it stands, instead, for the university degree of bachelor. of-law. There is no Law School nor Inns of Court in Scotland other than those of the universities; and the edu. cational standard required for the Scottish Bar is incomparably higher-- as it is for the churches--than else-: where in the United Kingdom. Very, many writers--equal to solictors--have the B.L. degree, and the vast majority of them are university men, There is no coroner in BSootland, while the sheriff is a judge. I remember Lord Guthrie, who was such a leading fea- ture in the recent Divorce Commis- sion, a sheriff. English and Irish judges are only "my lord" on the' bh, unless they ennobled as, rs, as the Lord Chief Jush of ngland and Ireland are at present.' On the other hand, the term "judge" is unknown in Scottish law. The valent are '"'Benators ef the College ol Justice," every member of which, on appointment mes, ipso facto,' a lord, on or oft the bench and can, either retain his persondl name as that most delightful of men, Lord Storw mouth Darling, or the present Lord Chancellor of England, who is a Segtsman and was a Senator of the est af & dozen--of ves into 8 cons e, of Justice, who took the poetic Lord Loreburn. pos Scottish law, despite 'Boottish Pro- testantism, is mainly based on canon law, sh and Irish law or Roman' law. The robes of Beottish "judges" are survived ecclesiastical vestments. A criminal jury in Scotland consists ol fifteen members. A malheity of ithe ud the verdach, ; are be three verdi tw the jury--" Guilty," "Not Proven," and "Guilty."

Here is how the a ng is done. view. at the The best places along route were eagerly sought after by the various cinematograph com- panies, and the sites go naturally to the highest bidder. How films taken and shown on the screen so quickly. It is largely a question of organization. Esch company has a number of rators placed in various posit the route, and dirgetly ung has messenger who is waiting, and away he goes as rapidly as possible back to the place where they are to be developed. Here a batch of men are waiting. The method of developing is se fol- . "The film is first placed on a rol! at the head of a long tank. It is then eléctrically unrolled and passes down a narrow trough containing the developer, and gradually, as the film passes along, you see the picture appearing. At the time it' reaches the end of the tank that part of the film is de veloped. It runs underneath into a bath of water, then comes back again another -- - hypo, which fixes and washes it again, and finally it ses through a weak solu. tion of glycerine. It is then taken into a room and very carefully un. rolled and artificially dried. Here it is looked through, 'paris that are not or defection earefully touched up. The titles are made by means of & glass slide. Tt is then photographed on a piece of film by artificial light, and when the desired number of titles to each part of film has been reached the artificial light automati- cally goes out. n these things are completed a positive has to be taken in the same way as an ordinary photograph. This is done by placing an unexposed film together with the negative and printed by artificial light. The ray of light is made to fall directly on to the picture like the light that comes from a magnifying-glass being held to the sun. Both films unroll themselves : to- gether, receiving the light on each individual picture. The negative film rolls itself up while the positive runs through the developing tank al- reads Seseritnd. A full-length film is 1,000 feet, and contains no fewer than 16,000 pic. tures. The whole developing process for a film of this length takes about one hour and rs. Peer and Playwright.

Besides, he must study to bring down such game as he afterward uses for food with poisons which will in" no way affect him. Growing among the rank grasses and on the trunks of the trees, and ming. ling with creeping flowers, are so many posionous plants that the tra. veler must be constantly on the look- out to avoid them. Some are so dead- ly that even the odor arising from them is overpowering, causing serions illness; others cause skin diseases and ainful swellings of the body if their eaves chance to touch ever so lightly the hands or other exposed parts. In spite of his extraordinary pas- sion for concocting poisons, the Bacai is a thorough gentleman in the chase and a worthy foeman to meet. He ie a big-hearted fellow, having none of the barbarous methods of other inhabi- tants of the Malay Peninsula, whose greatest pleasure is to torture a fallen foe. When he poisons an arrow his object is to cause death as quickly and as painlessly as possible. He seems to be particularly happy ir his domestic affairs. Husband and wife live happily together, and quar- reling or ill-treatment is practically unknown among them.

Primrose Day. Primrose Day, the anniversary of the death of Lord Beaconsfield, was recently celebrated in England. The statue of the statesmen was well-nigh buried in primroses, sod large num: bers of ple carried them through- ous the day. Probably Lord Beacons. field would be much surprised if he knew that his memory was associat ed with the primrose, or indeed with any particular flower. The cult arose in a rather curious way. Queen Vic- foria sent a wreath of primroses to the funeral. On the accompanying card and in her gwn handwri were the words "His favorite flower." Queen Vietofis was sufficiently Vie- torian to use italics with great liber- ality, as of course thé accented pro- noum referred to the Prince Consort and not at all to Lord Beaconsfield, but the public jumped to the conclu- sion that the Queen had special knowledge of the dead statesman's floral preferences, and. so the prim- rose becamé the symbol of the Bea- consfield cult. And, , what does it matter? A Famous Artist Who Fasts. Perhaps the most remarkable fact concerning Mr. John H. F. Bacon, AR.A., who is to paint the Weat- minster Abbey coronation picture, is that when worki he practically starves himself. Like the poet Shel ley, Mr. Bacon can live on a very sparé diet, When he was painting his famous picture, "Forgiven"--which depicts an old man ill 10 bed speak- ing words 'of forgiveness to an erring daughter, who, in the agony of her confession, has {allen on her knees on the floor before him--he used to take so little breakfast before start that, to quote his own words, "I al ways suffered acutely from hunger, which acted on the brain and so made the work a great strain." Another of Mr. Bacon's successful pictures, "The Young Widow," was practically painted on nothing more substantial than bread and butter and lea snd an apple for lunch. Threatening a Prince.

King Charles listed on the side of the In February, 1643, he was the commissioners appointed to treat with the King at Oxford. Charles received him graciously, and it was during the poet's stay at Oxford that what was known as ""Waller': was conceived. On his return to london he became the channel through which the adherents of Charles at Oxiord communicated with his friends in London. The edict of the plot was to secure that city for the king, to seize upon the defences, the magazine, and the tower, from which the Earl of Bath was to be liberated and made the general of Charles' forces. The king was to be informed of the hour of the rising and was to be, with a force of 3,000 men, within fifteen miles of London's walls. One. Roe, a clerk of Nathaniel Tomkins, brother-inaw of Waller, betrayed the conspirators. Tomkins and Richard Chaloner, a wealthy linen draper, were hanged in front of their wn doors. Waller was fined '$50,000 and banished the realm. It was not until Név. 27, 1651, that the House of Commons revoked his sen- tence of banishment, and ordered a pardon to be prepared for him. He was elected to Parliament in 1661, and remained a member until his death, Oct. 21, 1687. He became a great faorvite at the eourts of Charles II, and James II. 'one of King of British Shipping.
