Blood Under the MicroscoDe.

"The only instance on record when
the blood of two persons was compared
IN criminal trial. said DR.. Piper
recently, was in murder case in
Chicago. The comparison settled the
innocence of the woman on trial for
her life. A comedy woman, with
S2O,OOO married a man in Chicago, and
placed her snug little fortune in his
business. In the course of time he
began to abuse her, and finally she
decided to apply for a divorce, The
double calamity of losing woman to
beat and withdrawal of her $4,000
from his business made the brute
furious and the next morning he was
found dead in one corner Of his bed
chamber, bullet having gone through
his heart. His wife was found
wounded in another part of the room.
She said that her husband had come
home the night before in a rage and
began to abuse her while she was in
bed: that he hit her on the head with
the butt of his revolver while her
head was on the pillow, and spattered
blood over the linen; that she jumped
up, and he shot her, inflictine a SLIGHT
flesh wound in her side. She then
rushed at him, and, snatchinp the
revolver from him, shot him through
the heart. He reeled to the corner
where he was found and died. The
prosecution did not believe her story.
and set up the theory that she shot him
when he was asleep and dragged him
to the corner, and then inflicted the
wound on herself. The carpet where
the dead man lay was saturated with
blood. According to the theory of the
prosecution the blood on the pillow
was his also. put the section of the
pillow with blood upon it under the
microscope, and drew on cardboard
the shape of the corpuscles, enlarged
about two thousand diameters. I then
put the blood on the carpet under the
microscope in the same way. The
comparison was wonderful. The
corpuscles on the pillow were bright
round, and clean. They were beau

We're large and disfigured. the result of
dlsease. Ihe comparison settled that
question at once. The blood corpuscles
were as different as day and night, and
sustained the woman's account of
the shooting. She was acquitted on
that and other evidence.
Gas between human blood and DOGS
blood, the microscope enables the
expert to determine precisely whether
a specimen is from human being or
dog. But it is impossible to deter

hogs blood. This fact convicted ono
man that | know of. He claimed that
the blood on his clothes was dogs

not dogs blood; but if he had said that
1t was hogs blood I could not have
contradicted the statement, San

THE LDwORLD.
Mr.. Balfour has just caused to be pub
lished for general circulation brochure on
the Irish question. In this the new chief
secretary strongly supports home rule for
Ireland, but contends that this home rule
shall extend to local interests only. His
argument for this is the favorite one of the
Tories, viz: That it is as necessary for the
general welfare of Ireland itself as it is for
the stragetic security of Great Britain that
in all national affairs the present state of
dependence shall be maintained and that
all concession to Ireland shall be based on
the absolute maintenance of England's
imperial control. Another idea is elabor-
ated in this brochure, namely, that in any
new organization of the government of
Ireland the rights Of the Irish Tories, such
as the loyal minister in Ulster must be re-
spected and maintained. While it may be
said that these statements lack defnitneess,
still it must be admitted that they indicate
a remarkable change of attitude in the Con-
sentative feeling toward Ireland.
The Paris Gaulois affirms that Prince
Bismarck directly influenced the Marquis
of salisbury's acceptance of Office through
the German princess imperial, the daughter
of the queen. He advised the queen Of the
imminentp possibility of change in reign in
Germany, and said renewal Of the alliance
with England was desirable The queen
then renewed her insistance that the Mar
quis of Salisbury should accept office, and
he complied.
The Marquis of Salisbury, the new prime
minister, and Baron de Staal, the Russian
ambassador, will resume negotiations on
the frontier question this week.

LORD CoLER1DGE of England is not
happy over the marriage of his daugh-
ter which occurred last week. His pro-
spective son-in-law sued him for SLAM
der and secured the very peculiar YER
dict that when the marriage took place
Lord Coleridge should supply his daugh-
ter with four thousand pounds (S2O, OOO)
per year. Under such circumstances
it cannot be considered surprising that
he declined to accept the invitation to
his daughters wedding. He didn't
mind the loss of the girl so much, but
to be present and witness a compact
which was to cost him $4,000 ayear was
more than he could bear. The mother
OF the young lady is dead but the rel
atives on her mothers side were in her
favor, and they attended en- masse and
''danced at the wedding" quite literally.
