AFTER THIRTY TEAKS. Tβ hare been , married for thirty years [ and them deserted by his wife Iα favour of a man who had been her husband's Intimate friend for thirty-flve years, was the somewhat unusual experience of a Kllraarnock seed merchant, Robert Jobnetou I'aton, who, in the Court of Session ai Edinburgh, asked Lord Morison to grant I him a divorce agaiaet bis wlfp, Helen Walter or Patoa. I Paul Goudie, residing at Mascot. Nort'u foreland, Broadstairs, Kent, was called as co-defender in the case. I Mr. Paton told the court that the marJ rlage took place in September, 1893. and lie , and his wife lived together down to Ausu« of last year. Four sons had been born. llln wife resided at Troon at the time of the marriage, And was posseseed of large j means in her own right. J For thirty-five years, said Mr. Paton, tie I had been on intimate terms with Goudie, jwlio had been coming to the house all their married life, but the witness had no reason to suspect that there was anything between Ills wife and Goudie. : On August 4, 1922, continued Mr. Paton, I his wife went to Arra'n, to a houee leased by witness. They separated on quite good terms. In October she went to Glasgow I when their second eon was married. He [heard that bis wife and Goudie were going about together, and he spoke to her abont It. He thought it was injudicious, but be did not charge ber with infidelity. J On October 17 he got a letter from her ; in, reply to one be bad sent asking her to ' return to him, aaylng that her affection for ' him had all gene, and that It was better ifor them to part. In November. 1922, his wife went to London, and rubseqnently to Switzerland. He heard thai". Goudie also went to Switserjland.

Evidence waa also gtren aa to the residence of Mrs. Fa ton and Goodie at Weet-gate-on-Sea on tae datea mentioned. Lord Morlaon granted decree, and tbe ec-defender was fonnd liable In expenses. The latest marine invention now in use on a Newcastle (England) pilot boat is a machine which throws a beam of light to the eea bottofn, allowing the depth of water below the ship to be gauged, Soundings may thus be done away with. The invention is of unusual importance sine* it may be usefully employed by the big liners when entering ■hallow waters. The searchlight is worked through a, hole in the lower part of the ship, while an observation window is placed nearby, through which the light may be seen- A mirror is set at the end of a long observation tube .running through the ship to the bridge. By working a handle an officer can take any angle on the projection beam and, by a aingle calculation, measure the depth of the water below.
