The Doomed Assassin.

The unanimous decision of the district gu
premc court at Washington on the questions
raised by the defense in Guitcau's case ends
the legal formalities unless the supreme
court issues habeas corpus, which is not
expected. The Washington Post adds that
after the delivery of the opinion the prisoner
was taken to a solitary cell where he is now
confined and placed under guard, better
known as the death WATCH" Every
action will be observed up to the fatal mo-
ment. Not word will be permitted to be
spoken to him except by his adviser or by
persons specially authorized by Warden Gen.
eral Croker, who has entire charge of and
responsibility for the assassin from this time
on until the dead body is ready to be given
over for post mortem examination. District
Attorney Corkhill has determined upon ex-
animation of the brain Of the assassin by q
board of the most eminent experts in the
United States, to put at rest, as he believes,
further questi ion Of his sanity. After the
autopsy the body will be delivered to the
relatives of the doomed man, if any call for

WHAT AuTTlE GIRL DID.

Some Of the most important discOv-
cries have been accidently; and il has
happened to more than one inventor
who had long been searching after
some new combination or material fol

right thing mt last by mere chance. A
lucky instance Of this kind was the
discovery Of the principle Of the tele.

the year 1908. he was working in his
shop, his children helping him In va
riOus small ways, or rOmpiEg about
and amusing themselves with the tools
and objects lying on his work bench,
when suddenly his little girl exclaim-
ed:
"Oh, papa! See how near the stee-
pie cOmes!"
Half startled by this announcement,
the honest Hans looked up from his
work, curious TO know the cause of
the clild's amazement. Turning to-
war,l her, he saw that she was looking
through two lenses, one held close to
her eye, and the other ut arms length !:
and. calling his daughter TO his side. he
noticed that the eye lens WAS plano
cOncave Tor fiat ON one side and hol-
lowed out on the ether, while the
one held ut distance was plano con-

produced the wonderful effect that she
had observed. His quick wit and
skilled invention saw In this accident
q wonderful discovery. He immedi-
ately set about making use Of his new
knowledge Of lenses. and ere long he
had fashioned tube Of pastebOard, In
which he set the glasses 1t their exact
focus.
This rough tube was the germ Of
that great instrument the telescope. to
which modern science owes 30 much.

The experience which 80 many OF
