This morning at 10 q. nd. in Justice
Koska's court was the time set for the
examination of Edenfield on the charge
OF murder, and the court room was
crowded. Those who expected to see
prisoner break down or betray any
emotion when confronted with the
charge or insist thet.he killed his partner
in self defense, were oissppoir ted.
The prisoner was brought into court
and his stolid features were immovsble
from tho time he took his seat until the
close OF the trial. The doctors testi-
mony that the deceased was shot
through the back, reference to blood
sp6ttered about and other details did
not phaze the prisoner, who eat in a
listening attitude and not a muscle
twitched in his face He was represent

evidence vas 50 omitted by the prosecu-
ton. waived examination, Edepfield not
testifyiDg, and the court remai ded the
prisoner to the sheriff without bonds to
answer before the next grand jury.
Edentield did not utter q word. and
his cold outward bearing duriog the
progress Of the trial did not win for him
any sympsthizers.
Harper, who was killed under such
suspicious circumstances, was q harm
less and helpless man, and those who
know him best do not believe he would
raise an arm in violence against any
one. He was buried today In the

Change OF Color In Animals.

In cold countries, upon the APP
pronch OF winter, the fur of the nni-
mails begins to change in color. Tho
block-coatod creature begins to turn
dusi-color and gray, finally the color
fades out and the animal becomes
pure white. This is natures provision
for their protection, as, were they to
retain their dark color, IL would be OK
tremcly easy to SOC and capture them
on the snow-covered surface. Tho
Arctic hare is au interesting example
of this change. In summer IL is on
the upper side black, with light-brown
mixed; when cold weather approaches
the fur fades out and becomes snowy
white, except ut the tips of the ears,
which retain tho dark color. These
little animals arc wonderfully hardy
and prolific, and expeditions have
found them OF great value as food
supply in time Of necessity. There is
also much larger hare, known as the
polar here. This animal has some
what fluffy coat, aud IL takes a very
sharp eye TO detect IL when running
over field of light snow. There is
also an Arctic fox that changes color in
the same way. 1t is very small, and
n most beautiful creature. In summer
its fur is delicate slate gray; when
the snow comes the hair becomes won
derfuIly thick and long, especially on
the tail and feet. To bring the sum
mer and winter coats of this animal
together, it would seem impossible
that they came from the same crea-
'ture. These foxes are very sly and un-
usually intelligent They are most
accomplished thieves, appearing to
steal for the fun Of il. as they carry
away articles that could by no possi-
bility DO OF any use to them. The err
mine is another of tho coat-changing
creatures. In summer it's fur is Of a
rich mahogany brown, but in winter
it acquires that beautiful white with
which we are 80 familiar. New York

How Camnhor Is Made.

One OF the principal products OF the
territory which has come under
Japanese administration as result of
the war with China, is camphor.
Small shantics are scattered over the
hills where tho camphor trees grow,
and in oil directions tho clearing Of
the woods is going on at rapid rate
On the hilsides are built distilleries,
consisting Of oblong-shaped structures
principally of mud bricks, and about
ten or twelve feet long, six feet
broad and four feet high.
"On each side there arc five TO ten
fire holes about foot apart and the
same distance above the ground. On
each fire hole is placed an oarthern
pot full OF water. and above IL cyl
indrical tube, about q foot in diane
ter and two feet high, passes up
through tho structure and appears
above it.
Tue tube is capped by large in
vertcd jar, with a packing Of damp
hemp between the jar and the
cylinder TO prevent the escape OF
steam. The cylinder is filed with
chips of wood about tho size OF the
little finger, which rests on q per,
forated lid covering the jar Of water,
80 that when the steam rises it passes
up to the inverted jar, or condenser,
absorbing certain resinous matter
from the wood on its way.
While dstillation is going on an es-
sential oil is produced and is found

the jar. When the jar is removed,

ton commences and camphor in

in baskets lined with plantan leaves
and hurried off to the nearest border
town for sale.
With regard to camphor as in other
commercial matters, the Chinese gov
ernment has acted very foolishly. For
over thirty years there has been a
constant demand for camphor, aud
yet the administration has done moth
ing to prevent the reckless waste OF
the forests and taken no steps to pro-
vide for the reafforestation Of unin-
habited tracts useless for cultivation.

Stopping Machinery by Electricity

Some Antique Phrases.

Some interesting bits of philology
are given in q recent number Of the
Glasgow Christian Leader. "Conspic-
uous by its Absence" we are told. is
an expression used by Lord Russell
in a speech made by him in 1859. but
the expression is as old as Tacitus,
having been employed by that histo-
rian in exactly the same way AZ by
Lord John Russell, who, being a fin
ished classical scholar, no doubt trans.
lated and adapted it to his own use.
The phrase ito die in the last ditch"
was first used by William, prince Of
Orange, who, during the war with
France, was asked what he would do
in case the troops of Holland were de-
feated in the field, and who replied:
~ will die in the last ditch" The
"baker's Dozen" meaning thirteen,
dates back to the time of Edward /,
when very rigid laws we're enated re-
garding the sale OF bread by bakers
The punishment for falling short In
the sale OF loaves by the dozen was SO
severe that in order to run no risk the
bakers were accustomed to give thir-
teen or fourteen loaves to the dozen,
and thus arose this peculiar expression.
The sobriquet Father of his coun-
try" dates farther back than the time
of George Washington, being first ap-
piled to Marius. the Roman, who, B.
G. 102 and 101. won signal victories
over the northern barbarians Marius
declined the honor, but the name was
afterwards given to Cicero, then to

the "stepfather OF his country"
