Smoke almost hit them, the drooping figure could be seen only now and then through the drifting clouds as one sees objects for a moment vividly by a lightning flash. In those moments his face could be seen, a shining gray, as his head drooped on his chest and Mr. Stewart cried encou agement which could not be heard a few feet away The room was now a spouting, swirling voleano of flame and smoke. There were at least fifteen photog- raphers in the place and every one of them was in action. They abandoned even the least semblance of respect for the court and leaped madly to the best positions, climbing on the rail of the jury box, as jurymen ducked from their flashes. Wherever one turned to escape them came more spouts of white light, and as in their haste, the photographer used extra large charges of powder, the booms were deafening. A map jumped up on a chair in front of the jury box, another behind him, another on the counsel tables, directly in front of the Judge. They yelled at Stewart and at each other. “Get him in front,” “Get out of the way, Jim,” “For the love of Mike, give me a chance.” Crash, roar, more flames and smoke, till it was almost impossible to see across the room. Chairs were overturned and women who had rushed for- ward were pushed and shoved aside until in terror at the inferno they cried out in fright and strove desperately to get out of the jam. Judge Lynch, who last week was elected Chief Justice of the Criminal Court, rapped once or twice for order, and laughed heartily at the excitement. He was standing in full view of the flashes. Shepherd, who had recovered in a few moments and had shaken hands with the jurymen, clambered up behind the bench and shook hands heartily with Judge Lynch, who said something to him, smil- ingly. “That’s it, just a minute, hold it,” yelled the photographers, fighting to get this unusual picture, and the flashes roared again. For fully ten min- utes, and it seemed an hour, this mad uproar lasted until everybody in the room was dusted with the fine ash of the flashlight powder and eyes were stinging from smoke. At last even Judge Lynch could stand no more, and when photographers started to climb into the jury box, pushing the jurymen aside in their eagerness to get a last snap at Shepherd, disappearing toward the jury room, he rapped loudly and ordered the photographers to keep quiet. They heeded him for a moment, and then banked again as Shepherd left. words were lost in the uproar, The Shepherd affair probably sets a record for circus Other nations marvel at the splurge made by officials in the handling of a murder trial. The crowds that pack the court rooms become fierce They have their favorites among the witnesses Sentimental women try tactics in the trial of a criminal case. partisans. for the defense and for the state. to approach the accused with flowers and caresses. Shepherd trial shows to what frenzy of excitement a court It is a sad commentary upon the manner audience can rise. in which some trials are conducted. When the judge, too, joins in the celebration, the mob feels justified andthe festivities are complete: NURSING AN IDEA John A. Spencer, a Cambridge, Mass., mechanic, has nursed an idea into a fortune. A short time ago he sold the rights to part of his invention for $1,000,000. His thermostat provides a new means of automatic heat control and may revolutionize the manufacture and use of every gas, steam, water and electrical heating equipment. Spencer’s idea was born of observation. He saw that a certain way of doing a thing could be improved and he set to work to find how he could improve it. His invention was the result. Many, many years Spencer nursed his idea, worked on i He persevered, and his dream was realized. The success of this mechanic emphasizes the quali- ties that make for success—qualities so often repeaten that But one of these is work,-for a vision improved on it. they are now trite. without work comes to nought. Spencer sums up his secret of success thus: s“You can find something new in everything — if only you will sit down and study it long enough. And when you have found a new idea, you will be amazed at the possibilities it opens up for new and useful application.” ” ‘Phe most insidious feature about the Chinese war is that _ the names of the generals are unpronounceable, reports of the disorder in the Chicago court room announced reflect to what!

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Silver Wing and Nimble Toes ap- peared to Nancy and Nick one day when they were weeding the garden. Silver Wing sat on a rose and ble Toes balanced herself on a of honeysuckle, looking like a very gorgeous butterfly “Hello!” said Silver Wing as loud- lly as she eduld—which wasn’t so very loud. “Hello! said Nimble Toes almost | as loudly as Silver Wing, but not} quite. To the Twins it sounded like two ‘little mouse squeaks, but they had sharp eyes and sharp ears, and the minute they heard these odd sounds, they knew that something unusual was happening. “Hello!” they answered. Then they looked around in every | direction very, very carefuily, and suddenly they spied the two’ tiny creatures. “What are you doing here?” asked Nick, throwing a big burdock leaf} over the fence and hitting his hands together to shake off the dirt. “We're on business,” said Silver Wing. “We've brought a letter from the Fairy Queen, Where is it, Nim- ble Toes?” mble Toes fished around in her pocket and brought out a tiny enve- lope which she held out. “Here it is,” she said ‘So the Twins took the letter and Nick read it.

One moment she is 2fraid she never will get well and the next she is afraid that she will lose Dick's love Just why I do not know, for he is very devoted to her.

I never was very good looking and now I k anyone would turn his should t ee, it would be a pret- ck of a man that would ty poor have that feeling for the mother of his coming child and I think you are very unkind to suspect Dick of feel- ing anything for you but the great- rence and most loyal love.” lly, d, “I'don’t care nd if a man is I would be very .

WHY “AVERAGE AGES” ARE CONFUSING Modern improvements have almost doubled the “average” length of life. ‘And yet they have scarcely increased its individual span. The chance of surviving infancy and growing up is greater, but not lthe chance of reaching old age if | you do grow up. “Average” is deceptive. The av- erage age of a family of whom two are twenty-three and twenty-five years old, and two died in infancy, is twelve years, though the only actual members are twice that age. The earlier generations showed a much larger number of little graves: but nearly as large a proportion of gray heads. ‘The chances of living are better, but not the chances of living long. OUR PHYSICIANS AREN’T | GROPING IN THE DARK Dr. Carrell, of the Rockefeller In- stitute, says there are two sorts of ‘things the doctors know—those they know scientifically and those they have learned certain practical things about by experience. Since medicine is a practical art, and has to deal with the sick as they come, its practitioners have to do the very best they can, even in those conditions of which their knowledge is not yet svientific. ‘ But do not jump at the conclusion that no medical knowledge is scien- tific because some of it is not. ‘And do not suppose that the “em- BUSINESS ALSO HAS ITS QUACKS — By Chester H. Rowell It is never safe to neglect a wound caused by the bite of a dog. Dogs often are infected with rabies, especially during the summer months. Most states now furnish free treat- ment for rabies and it is better to | play safe and take the treatment wherever it is at all possible. Snake bites are less common than a few years ago.

It should join with the rest of us in hounding down the pretended business which does. They know how to do it in Cuba.

America is not the only place where the delusions pre- pirical” part is rule-of-thumb guess- work. Physicians know which part is scientific. And they are groping by no means in the total dark on the other part. It was known practically, by mil- lions of experiences, that quinine was good for malaria, long before the present scientific knowledge was developed to show why it is good for it. Everybody has known for ages that sunshine is good for children, but it is only in the past half-dozen years that anybody knew why. Knowledge is “empirical” if you know, by experience, that a certain treatment works. It is scientific if you know why and how. PROHIBITION HELPED HIM, AFTER ALL “Prohibition is ruining me,” said a famous restaurant keeper. closing his jazz palace to escape bank- ruptcy. Then it occurred to him that there might, after all, be money in selling real food, to people who wanted to eat it. So he started coffee houses, box lunches, and all sorts of ways of feeding hungry people at reasonable prices. Now he buys a movie magnate’s million-dollar home. Prohibition paid, after all. It’ took drink to sell a quarter's worth of food and a dime’s worth of jazz for four dollars.

London, June 30.—(?)—Scarcely a second passes, year in and year out, winter and summer, when there are not at least 100 lightning flashes somewhere in the world, according to the recently issued Blue Book of the meteorological office of the Brit- ish government service. During a year, says the book, the world experiences 16,000,000 thunder storms, or an average of 44,000 a day. The amount of energy released by these flashes is too stupendous for the human mind to grasp, the book points out. It is suggested by the meteorologists that the water power of the earth, which has already been harnessed, be used as a measure. Figuring on that basis, it is estimated that douple that amount is represent- ed by one flash of lightning, conse- quently in any given second there is released from the clouds more energy than the world’s water power stations yield in six months.
