THE COLLINS MURDER TRIAL.


Topeka, Kan, Dec. l6-Yesterdsy
was . day for sensations In the Collins
murder trial Hair.raising incidents
followed each other in rapid success
sion. The first sensation was sprung
when the defense changed its plans OF
procedure and placed the defendant,
John Henry Collins, on the witness
stand. This was unexpected by the
state, although the defense intimated
last Saturday that John would proba-
bly, testify.
The next incident that created
profound sensation was when Ella
Buchanan, the colored girl, took the
stand for few minutes and swore
that every word Of her testimony given
Wednesday In behalf Of John Collins
was false. This statement gave rise to
dramatic scene. The attorneys TOR
the defense were taken wholly by sur'
prise and dumfounded. They were ex'
onerated from all suspicion Of fixing"
the witness in a neat little talk made
by Assistant Prosecutor Harry Stafford.
The third incident created stir al.
most as great as the testimony Of the
colored girl. 1t was the admission
made by John Collins on the stand
that he wrote all Of the damaging let
tiers to Jess Harper and johnson Jor-
dan and that he had conferences with
these two negroes at the dates and
places they mention in their testi'
mony. This was paralyzer to the
state. 1t was never expected that
Collins would make such admissions
The last event OF the day was the
announcement made by County Prose-
sutor Jetmore last night that he ex.
pected soon to produce the person who
purchased the testimony OF the b.
chanan girl and prosecute him for the
nrima

A Scenic Attraction.

Regarding novelty. character and
brilliancy, no comedy organizations ever
announced have an advantage over "The
Air Ship" which comes to the Masonic
temple Saturday, Nov.'Io. This comedy
is pronounced innovation, to begin with,
as the introduction of effects new to the
stage, is IN itself great scheme. When
it is taken into consideration that the
company embrace artists wLo are stars
in their particular line. some idea may
be obtained as to the real strength of the
entertainment. Every one of the per.
formers were selected with deliberate
care and without regard to salary, thus
insuring a galaxy of talent unequalled
in variety. The management is entitled
to no small credit, inasmuch as this ven-
ture has bespoken a liberal amount of
genius and an investment of cash which
exhibits great deal more than ordinary
generosity. The costumlng and scenic
details for "The Air Ship" are said to
outrlval the most extravagant invest
ment in that direction ever made IN the
production of farce comedy One of
the chief merits of this organization is
the fact that its female contingent has
talent combined with beauty.

How Long Does It fake to Thinitq

Professor Richct says that it takes a
man abont onc-clcventh of second to
think out each note of " musical scale.
He explains the practice that people
will often follow of bending their heads
in order to catch each minute sound by
the fact that the smallest intervals OF
sound can be much better distinguished
with one ear than with both. Thus the
scparatencss of the clicks of revolving
toothcd wheel were noted by one oh.
server when they did not exceed 60 to
tho second, but using both cars he could
not distinguish them when they occur
red oftcnCr than IL times II second. Tho
sharp sound of the electric spark from
an induction coil was distinguished with
one ear when the rate was as high as
900 to tho second.
Tho sight is much less keen. When
revolved at speed no faster than "a
times II second. disk, half white and
half black, will arYcar gray.
We also hear more rapidly than we
can count. If clock clicking movement
runs quicker than 10 to the second, wC
can count four clicks, while with 30 tc
the second wo can count only two OF
them. st Louis Globe Democrat.
