One OF tho Alleged Murderers OF
DR.. Cronin Granted Another
.. Trial.
A Dissenting Opinion With a Few
Sensible Remarks Oh News
papers and Jurors.
Tho Homestead Poisoning Case Nearly
Flnished--A Decision Favorable to
tho Chinnmnn.

| OTTAWA. H.. Fob. 13.--The state auprems
court in an opinion rendered by Chief Jus
slce Bailey to-day reverses the verdict in
the case OF Dan Coughlin. the last of the
men convicted for DR.. Cronin's murder,
and renands the case for n new trial. The
reversal Is based principally on the ineliQi-
bility OF Bontecou and Clark, two of the
Jurors. The justice shows by examination
that these two jnrors were preiudiced when
summoned. and had formed opinions,
which whom jugglsd by attorneys were to
all appearances found TO be groundless or
regarded as jurors' excuses. The honorable
justice after quoting from over fifty cases
says In part: "The juror who 10 known TO
have in his mind fixed and positive opinion
is not impartial a. matter of fact. The
fact that hs gave fair and impartial YER
dict according to the evidence, notwith-
standing he previously testified he favored
an opinion, does not remove the barriers
that disqualify him as the justice inter-
prets the case. To compel person accused
OF crime to be tried by juror who IL pre-
JUDGED in the case is not to give him q
fair trial"
The dissenting opinion then revis the
examinations Of those jurors and considers
them to have sufficiently establish their
competency. He says two facts clearly dis
closed that their opinions were based on
newspaper statements and they believed in
their own ability to fairly and impartially
render verdict in the case in accordance
with law and evidence. After comment ON
Judge MaRruder says: IF men who read
newspaper accounts are excluded from the
jury box. trial by jury might az we'll be
abolished" The fact that Juror sx-
pressed an opinion BASED on newspaper
statements does not necessarily disqualify
him, and in support Of this Judge Nagrudsr
cites number opinions.

u Is from DIR. Poles "Theory of the
Modern Scientific Game of Whist"
II you the modern game of whist would know,
FROM this great principle its precepts flow:
treat your own hand as to your partners
Joined,
And play, not one alone but both combined.
Your first lead make your partner understand
What is the chief component OF your hand:
And hence there is necessity the strongest
That your first lead be from your suit that's
longest
In this with ace and king lead king. then ace;
With king and queen, king also has first place;
With ace, queen, knave, lead ace and then
the queen;
With ace, four small ones, ace should first be
seen.
With queen, knave, ten, you let the queen pre-
cede:
In other case, you the lowest lead.
Ere you return your friends your own suit
But trumps you must return without delay
When you return your partners lead, take
pains
To lead him back the best your hand contains,
If you receive not more than three at first;
But If you hold the master card you're bound
In most cases to play 1t second round
Whene'er you want lead, It's seldom wrong
To lead up to the weak or through the strong.
If second hand, your lowest should be played,
Unless you mean trump signal" to be made;
Or If you've king and queen, or ace and king,
Then one Of these will be the proper thing
Mind well the rules for trumps, you'll often
need them:
When you hold i've it's always right to lead
them;
Or II the lead won't come In time to you,
Then signal to your partner SO to do.
Watch also for your partners trump request,
To which, with less than four, play out your
best
To lead through honors turned up is bad play,
Unless you want the trump suit cleared away.
When second hand doubtful trick you see
Don't trump 1t If you hold more trumps than
three;
But having three or less trump fearessly.
When weak in trumps yourself, don't force
your friend;
But always force the adverse strong trump
hand
For sequences, stern custom has dccreed,
The lowest you must play If you don't lead.
When you discard, weak suits you ought to
choose,
For strong ones are too valuable to lose

Why Its Inventor Bas Been Refused q

The Droguisten Zeitung is RESPONSE
BILE for the statement that in Germany
patent has been refused, and the
manufacture and sale have been pro-
hibited, of paper 80 prepared that
any ink writing upon its surface could
be erased by the simple application of
q moist sponge. The paper was made
of the ordinary ingredients, with the
addition of asbestos and parchment
glue. The paper pulp, after rolling,
was immersed for a short time (from
six to thirty-five seconds, according to
the thickness of the paper to be pre-
pared from it) in concentrated sui
phuric acid at 20 degrees, diluted with
10 to Is per cent. of water. 1t was
then pressed between glass rollers,
passed successfully through water,
ammonia solution, and second time
through water, strongly pressed be-
tween rollers and dried on felt
rollers, and, finally, on polished
and heated metal rollers The
finished article is said to be pre-
cisely like ordinary paper. Its sale
has been prohibited on account of the
misuse to which it can be put.

NEW ARTIFICIAL FUEL.
Produced by the Admixture of White
Powder with Coal Dust.

Produced by the Admixture of White
Powder with Coal Dust.
Additional tests of satisfactory
character have been made of new
artificial fuel produced by the admix-
ture of a white dry powder with coal
dust in certain proportions. Pitch is
the combining medium almost uni
versally employed for utilizing coal
waste, but 1t involves certain practic-
al objections in storage and use
which, it is claimed, are overcome by
the new process The composition Of
the powder employed in this case is
not made known, but it is said to con-
sist of two natural substances, both of
which are plentiful and inexpensive,
and do not give out noXious fumes In
combustion nor exert any deleterious
influences whatever upon the boiler
plates or flues. Tests show that, as
compared with anthracite coal, the
blocks made of this material are of de-
cided value when used in boiler fur
mace. That is, it was found that the
total horse power developed by the
boiler with the anthracite coal in it's
natural condition was 1851 while with
blocks of the new material it was
5oo.o-this computing twenty pounds
of water per hour, according to the
rule, as equal to 1 indicated horse
power; reckoning, however, fifteen
pounds of water per hour as equal to
indicated horse power, as is customary
with the best triple expansion en-
gines, the total horse power developed
with the bricks was 873, against 491
with the natural coal.

EXTINCT MONSTERS.

zones OF Wonderful Size Discovered In
South Australia.
Inc greatest discovery of fossil re-
mains ever made in any part of the
southern hemisphere has just taken
pace in one of the most barren and
1orbidding localities in the northeast
OF South Australia. The animals,
whose remains are included in this
great discovery, are principally of the
eAtinct species, the diprotodon, a
species OF marsupial closely allied to
the Australian kangaroo. In most re-
spects, however, the diprotodon, dur
ing It's terrestrial existence, bore rath-
er resemblance to the hippopotamus
than to any form of life now existent
In the lands of the antipod.s. Besides
uhe bones OF these animals there have
Deen found some remains of the gigan-
tlc olrd, dinornis, now extinct
NO fewer than eighty diprotodons
are represented by the bones already
unearthed, and it is evident from the
close proximity of the localities where
the chief collections have been made
that the struggle for existence must
have been particularly severe at the
time when so many creatures of the
same species were driven to take ref
uge in one spot
The most probable theory in regard
to this great collection of fossil re-
mains would, therefore, seem to be
that when the race was becoming near
ly extinct some great drought drove all
the animals of the surrounding terri
