SUICIDE OF "A LAWYER.
Il. Haden Penn, of the Botetourt Bar
browns Himself.

Il. Haden Penn, of the Botetourt Bar,
browns Himself.
r. Haden Penn, of tho Botetourt bar,
who resided at Buchanan. is reported to
have committed suicide Monday at Iron
Gate, one mile east of Clifton Forge, by
jumping into Jackson river, which is
close to the hotel at which he stopped.
There are conflicting reports as to the
cauee which led to Mr.. Penn's rash act,
but probably the most reasonable and
nearest the truth is that he was de.
ranged. He was seen to jump from a
window of the hotel, run rapidly to the
river and down its bank out of sight.
Several persons followed, but could dis
cover no trace of him. The river was
carefully dragged, but with no better re-
result.
Mr.. Penn was we'll known in this
city. A few months ago he was wedd
to Miss Poindexter, beautiful and &C
complished young lady of Bedford
county, but he did not prove the ideal
husband her love and confidence led her
to believe would be the case, and it is
said she returned to her fathers roof.
Mr.. Penn sought solace in the wine cup
and his mind began to give way. His
insanity, unfortunately, did not take
the form that would justify incarcerat-
ing him in an asylum, and he was not
interfered with by friends or relatives.
Deceased was son Of the late Col
Shilling Penn, and a nephew of Hon. w.
j. Penn, of Jackson. Botetourt county.

Mirrors Made of Wood.

In Germany wood with mirror pol
ish is coming into use as substitute
for metal in the finishing of ornamental
work. In order to make the wood sus-
ceptible to polish of this order it must
first be submitted to bath of caustic
alkali for two days, the bath being kept
at temperature of one hundred and
scventy-five Fahrenheit all the while.
Ne.@eesi is soaked in solution of hydro
sulphatc of calcium for from twenty
four to thirty-nine hours. The third dip
is into bath of concentrated solution
of sulphur. The final dip is into solu-
ton of acetate of lead at temperature
OF one hundred degrees. After being
thoroughly dried the wood is ready to
have the metallic surface impaired to
it, which is done by giving it rubbing
with finely powdered lead. tin or zinc.
Wood treated in the above manner, it is
said, will take polish almost equal to
that SO often impaired to steel, silver or
nickel

THE JURY DISCHARGED.
Smith Will Have to be Tried
Again.

After celebrating until four O'Clock

Smith murder trial reported that they
could not possibly agree and Judge Rob-
ertson discharged them. The court
room was crowded throughout the day
and interest in the case is as great as at
first.

ten O'Clock and asked for the instruc.
tions, which the judge read and ex-
planned to them.
At O'Clock p. m. they reported that
they were still unable to agree, when
Judge Robertson informed them that he
would keep them together until 4
o'clock this evening, and If by that
time o verdict was not reached he
would discharge them.
Promptly at 4 o'clock the jury filed
into the courtroom and reported. When
the jury made their final report they
stood nine to three for conviction, one
juror who voted guilty" ON Tuesday
going over to the other side. The case
will be tried again next month and

fined in Lynchburg.

SUN AND EARTH.
Connection Between Sun Spots and the
Aurora Borealts.

~SoS"oOiA sun spots ana the
Aurora Borealfs.
Observers of the SUMS face haye for
centuries noticed at times dark spots on
it, says John X. Rees, in Harper's
Young People. Now we know from the
accumulated observations that the ex-
tent and number of these spots vary.
sometimes we can see very few, or
even none at all, and sometimes we can
see agreat many, some of which are
visible to the naked eye when protected
by colored or smoked glass. Such a
spotted region is now February 1s)
passing out of sight on the southwestern
limb OF the sun; but second group of
spots is finely visible on the northern
hemisphere, stretching in q long line
from the eastern edge to the center of
the sun. But what has the sun to do
with the aurora? Simply this: 1t has
been shown that when we have the
greatest number of sun spots, then we
have the most frequent and most gor-
geous displays OF the aurora. When
there is great storm on the sun pro.
ducing spots, then we feel at once on
our little earth disturbance of cleo
trical conditions. The display of the
aurora on February 10 is regarded as
an accompaniment of the solar disturb
ances which have produced the tremen-
dous spotted regions mentioned.
The average time from when the
spotted area on the sun is greatest to
the next maximum is a little over
eleven years. The last spot maximum
occurred in 1884, year or two behind
the average time, and we seem now to
be approaching u maximum in 1923.
We may therefore fairly conclude that
during this year we shall be favored
with numerous and brilliant aurora.

FLUCTUATIONS OF SOCIETY.

''The Sole-Leather OF To-Day, the Plumod

There is always class of persons
here which is called distinctively soci-

lies of hereditary ascendancy. 1t is
constantly changing. and the sole-leath-
er of to-day is the pluned hat of to-
morrow. tbs initiative and puts on pref
ty airs of grandeur and an amusing
smirl< of superiority, but it is neither
grand nor superior.
Yet, again, it is all harmless. An old
directory tells the secret, and, as the
fine society itself would say, gives this
pretty grandeur away. The directory
is a ruthless herald's Office. You start
from my Lady Disdain in the opera
box, flashing with diamonds and shin
ing with cloth of gold, little too loud
in her voice, n little too splendid in her
dress, the amiable dupe of novels and of
ignorance, and you soon arrive, in the
memorable directory of other years,
ut the source of this magnificence-the
prosperous butcher and baker and can
dle-stickmalxer, the tailor of his day, the
fashionable shoemaker.
These are the idle rich for whom Mr..
Gladstone asks whether nature has pro-
vided place. Plainly she has. Here
it is in this opera-box, in yonder car
riage, in this little palace of the bonbon
architecture. But day after tomorrow
jhe good people in the gallery will
come down and sit in the boxes. The
gods will descend, and they will drive
home to the bonbon palace instead of
walking home to the modest flat, as
they do now. 1t is grandeur of
wealth, and happily, of wealth which
is not entailed, and is therefore always
flying away, always distributed, and
giving us a fresh nobility every year,
tasting, as it were, of tie soil.-George

tanned ! special dispatch from this
city giving an interview with w. Fl
Claggett, who is contestinR tho seat
Of Senator Dubois, In this interview
Mr.. CIaggett expressed great conf,
dence that he would be seated, and
quoted Senator Stewart as having
said that his case was straight and
thai his right 70 the seat could not
be successfully questioned. He fur
thor stated that he was willing to
have an opportunity to show bis briei
10 Senators, and that be would not
object to having the hearing post
poned until some time in January.
The hearing having been postponed
At Mr.. ClsRgett's request, your cor
respondent determined to make an
investigation with view Of discover
ing what bis object WAS and what
ground there might be for the state
Incnts made ia the Herald interview.
Senator Stewart 10 known to be 1
personal friend Of Mr.. Claggett, but
It appears that he never made the
statement that that gentlemen credits
him with. When asked about tho
matter to day, he admitted that he
was friend Of Mr.. Claggett, but de-
nied explicitly that he had said the
law and tbs facts were on his side.
The question, be said, was purely !
legal one. He had not yet investi-
gated Senator Dubois side. He had
not expressed any opinion, and was
not 10 any position to do so. He
would examine both sides Of the CON
test carefully but would withhold al
expression Of opinion until the matter
should coms before the Senate.
Senator Teller, ohairman Of the
committee on privileges and cleo
tions, WAS seen and asked why the
postponsment ksd been asked for.
He stated toe. he was entirely ignor.
ant OF the reasons for that action.
He naturally declines to discuss the
morris Of the case, stating that his
position toward it il purely judicial.
So It may be taken for granted that
all reports Of expression Of opinion
by Senators are without foundati
Opinion here continues to be unani-
mously in favor Of Dubois and no one
has particle Of doubt about his re-
tanning the seat.

eighty acres Of improved land, from
which crops are gathered every year
without fail. This land or half Of it,
will be sold to parties with cash at

spanish lead and Iron stnll Coming

spanish Lead and Iron still Coming
TO This Country.
T. M. Newson, United States Con.
sui At Malaga, has made . report tc
the State Department At Washington
which points out that more than 5s,-
500 tons Of pig iron were exported to
tho United States during the past fis-
cal year, while much larger quanti-
~ Of lead ore sought the same route
to q market.
How lead or iron ore from Spain
can be carried to the United States
and sold At profit, can be account
Cd for only, says Mr.. Newson, by the
fact that 'sit must be'vsry pure irsn
ore and extracted from the mines at
= very low prics--wagss in tho mines
here are only 400. to 500. per day
and that the vessels that carry it to
the United States must do 20 at ruin
ously low rates" The United States
abounds with lead and iron ore, 50 he
adds, but we pay our labsrers and
mechanics and miners from ~ to "a
per day, while here go cents per day
is the highest wages, and is consid-
cred an extraordinarily good price. !"
This is the reason why foreign ore
and lead get to our country, and
"this is going on allthrough Europe
