Lansing, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE fact

more than two years ago, an investi
CATION with view to determining how
such verdict came to be returned
has been quietly pursued. The verdict
of the jury was so utterly at variance
with public opinion on the evidence
that some of the authorities could not
be reconciled to it. AS consequence.
a committee was chosen and investi'
CATION begun. Finally fortnight oil
so ago enough had been learned to
warrant Judge West in sitting as a
magistrate for the purpose of examin
ing witnesses with view to securing
information on which to base com
plants. A number of persons froT
Lansing, Detroit and elsewhere were
examined, and it is possible that 9th
ers will be examined later. This mucl
was divulgeG by the authorities today
and while they would not say whethe
any complaints will be made and wal
rants issued, it is known on excellen
authority that more than one perso
will be arrested within a few days.

The Cause of Geysers.

Bunsen has explained the periodical
eruption Of geysers in such satisfac-
tory manner that doubt is no longer
possible. A cavern filed with water lies
deep in the earth under the geyser, ana
the water in this cavern Is heated by
the earth's internal heat far above IL
degrees, since there is a heavy hydro
static pressure upon it arising from the
weight of water in the passage or nat
ural standpipe that leads from the sub
terranean chamber to the surface OF
the earth.
After a time the temperature OF the
water below rises, so that steam is CIV
en- off in spite of the pressure, ana the
column in the exit tube is gradually
forced upward. The release OF pressure
and the disturbance of the water then
cause the contents of the subterranean
chamber to fash into steam and expei
the contents of the exit pipe violently.
These eruptions may also be provoked
/ by throwing stones or clods or turf INTO
the basin of the geyser. The water III
the cavern below is disturbed by this
means.
