 To give the audience some idea of the inifnitesimal fraction of time, he said the time occupied by the spark as re- duced by his apparatus was proportion ately as much less than a second as a second was less than five months, and during that time a bullet fired from a magazine rife could not travel moro than one five hundredth part of an inch. By this simple contrivance he was able to get brighter and shorter spark and all that was necessary to make a good and sharp picture. New York World.

PHOTOGRAPHING A SHOT.
Wonderful Experiments In Determining

Wonderful Experiments In Determining
 the Time of a Flash of Electricity.
 Recent achievements in the moving photography that has produced the anl- matOgraph, biograph, cinematograph and other representations of motion are not more wonderful than the lately per fected photography of the flying bullet. Professor c. Vernon Boys, F. k. S. has worked on this seemingly unsolvable problem with great success, as have also two Italian artillery officers.
 In the course of lecture on the sub- jeCt, MT. Boys demonstrated that the ordinary notion that an electric spark is instantaneous was quite erroneous and stated that the light of the two ends of the ordinary electric spark lasted lit tie less than the One-hundred thCusandth part of second. It was, of course, in- stantaneOus to our senses, but to tests which could measure accurately to the one-hundred millionth part of second the electric spark was anything but in- stantaneous This spark was no good for taking the photograph Of flying bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib- iting one of his attempts, which made quite blurred picture.
 MT. Boys then proceeded to explain the steps which he tCOk in order to re- duce the length of time of the electric spark. To this end 1t was essential that the terminals should be made of copper, platinum or some metal which did not ] produce readily au iguiub-e yap0r, and 1 the electric current must not be driven ] through wires at all.

THE WORK OF VANDALS.

Judge TuthilPs Courtroom DespOiied by
the Morbid Crowd.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The courtroom Of
Judge Tuthill, before whom the Luet-
CERT case was tried, is the scene of van
dalism that has no parallel in the am
mails Of sensational trials. Certain of
the spectators, took advantage Of the
absence OF the bailiffs and Clerk Enoch
and seized on every portable article OF
stationery. Sections of the improvised
desks used by newspaper reporters dur
ing the tedious ordeal were even carried
off by the morbid crowd. Fearing that
the relic hunters would grow desperate
and demolish the fixtures a policeman
was detailed inside the bar. The few
ornaments which remained after the
chamber had been abandoned were
hastily removed across the hall.
The gavel which Judge Tuthill has
welded to keep the feminine section OF
the attendance seated, has disappeared.
So bare was Judge Tutlfill's desk OF
court materials that had the jury re-
turned and he been summoned to re-
ceive their finding he would have had
to send~fo a neighboring drug store fol

that Hawaii may become part OF taas

state would undoubtedly follow. !

and star chamber session was held.
States Attorney Deneen gave this ver-
sion of the affair:
"Judge Tuthill inquired if the jury
had any communication to make. Juror
Harley was on his feet in jiffy and
began asking questions. He desired
instructions on questions of fact. Har-
ley wanted to know if it was possible
to leave out certain evidence altogether
exclude it'entirely-and then consider
the other evidence and make up YER
dict from it. This query excited the
laughter Of those who were opposed to
Harley and it was noticeable that nine
of the jurors laughed. Judge Tuthill
said the question was an improper one
for him to answer. You have your in
structions, said his honor. Note the
reading of them You will find that
nearly all of them contain the language
and if after consideration of all the
evidence you find beyond reasonable
doubt, etc. That should be sufficient
The court cannot now instruct You
upon question of fact. You will re-
tire to your jury room and return to
further consideration Of the case.
The Judge Had Little to Say.
!. ''That was all that occurred. Sew
eral of the jurors wanted to know how
much longer they were going to be kept
in the jury room. Judge Tuthill paid
no attention to the inquiry. Juror
Harley is the man who is holding the
Jury. He now has two adherents.
They are Holabird and Behmilier, but
both of these believe are weakening.
It looks to me now as if there would be
q disagreement. believe that before
night the jury will stand IL to l, and
the only man who will bring about the
disagreement will be Harley"
At 1880 Judge Tuthill's court was
converted into dining room. Several
tables which during the trial had been
piled high with books, bones and papers
were covered by snowy linen and the
bailiffs busted themselves "setting the
table" Huge baskets of food and cans
OF coffee were hoisted up in the freight
elevator and brought into the room.
Dinner was called few minutes before
l O'Clock and the jury, escorted by the
two baiiffs, entered and took their
seats. They evidently enjoyed the
meal, Judging from their time at the
table. 1t was some time later before
they retired and were once more
locked up.
The doors of the courtroom will re.
main tightly closed until Judge Tuthill
returns to hear verdict. The repre-
sentatives of the press and all interested
in the trial excepting the counsel will
be excluded from the court. Evidently
the Ii men are long way from arriy
ing at decision as the court attaches
fixed themselves Tor an afternoon o.
complete repose.
