THE trial of a man for murder had
,ust commenced in Dakota court
when the attorney for the defense arose
and said:
"If the court please. we have no
fear of the outcome of this trial. In
The testimony we shall prove that the
murder was committed four miles from
town at O'Clock In the afternoon. We
shall also establish the fact that there
was circus in town that day."
''Hold on" SAID the judge ''you say
there was q circus in town."
"Yes, sir, the Anti-European Con-
glomeration showed there that day."
"Yes. I've seen 1.-TWO rings,a spot
ted grave digging hyena. and seven
lady bareback riders. You say the
man was killed ABOUT two o'clock?"
"Yes, your honor"
Just the time of the ring parade?''
''The same time"
'While the elephant and double
numped camels were going around?"
''Yes SIR"
The prisoner is discharged. Trying
10 prove that a man was four miles
away from town on such an occasion Is
looked upon as malicious prosecution
by this court. The unfortunate gentle
man who was found dead without
doubt committed suicide when he real
lied that he was In that kind of a po-
Bition himself"

SCIENTIFIC

NJ. Feli1 H,snaJert and M. Henry
have recently communicated 10 ti'e
French Academy of Sciencea new metn,
cd of producing pure hydrogen ana
of making water-gas at an extremely
low cost. In this process Jet Oh su-
perheated steam Is directed into re-
tort filled with incandescent coke. Inc
oxygen unites with the carbon TO form
carbonic oxide, and hydrogen Is nDer-
ated. Up to this point there Is nothing
new in the process. But now tnese
gases are led away to a second relorS
filledwith Jumps OF some refractory SUD
stance maintained at red heat. The
use of refractory materials Is toexpoSe a
large surface to the incoming gases.
Into this second retOrt there Is led at
the same time a jet Of steam superheat-
ed to the point of disassociatlon. Inc
oxygen of this steam seizes upon the
carbOnic-oxide to form dioxide, ahd
more hydrogen Is liberated. To re-
move the carbon-dioxide the gases are
passed through the milk OF Lime, ana
the pure hydrogen is led away to the re-
seryoir. The authors of the commun-
ication say that one ton of coke pro-
duces about 96, 900 feet of gas, which is
about eleven times the quantity Oh.
tained from a ton of coal, which re-
duces the cost of the gas to very low
igure-yery little indeed, it may be
supposed, above the cost Of natural gas,
when the difficulty of controlling the
gas is taken into account.
