Some Important Developments at the
 Trial of Lawyer Patrick.

some Important DevGIOprn emts at the
 Trial of Lawyer Patrick.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 31.--The most im- portant feature of the cross examina- tion Of Millionaire Rice's nephew at the Patrick trial yesterday was his statement that he had a written agree ment with the William NJ. Rice insti- tute, through Captain Baker, whereby he was to get $75,O0O if the will of 1896 was probated.
 As the will of 1896 only provided s5,- 900 for the witness Patrick's lawyers made much of this fact as showing that Captain Baker and the Rice insti- tute were willing to pay the heirs more than the will allowed in order to pre- vent contest.
 Rice's nephew testified that Jones wired him of Rice's death on the Mon- day following the alleged murder, that he saw Patrick on his arrival here and that Patrick told him he was heir to $30,0o0 and his son heir to $60,000-

"Why is it" asked a modest young
breadwinner, that when l stay at the
Office after hours to voluntarily do an
extra amount Of work somebody who
is in charge pounces upon me as his
justifable victim and gives me still
more to dor
''That has happened to me time after
time in my business, and at each repe-
tition have taken a VOW that if / am

he does do and let 1t go at that, with

We must look to the solar system for
examples of stars in the last stage Of
development. Each Of the planets may
in fact be regarded as an object of this
kind. The bare and rocky surface of
the moon affords desolate picture Of
what may result from the long contin-
ued process of condensation. The vol
canic region gives no evidence of the
existence of life-in fact, the spectre
scope indicates that If there is any air
OH the moon 1t is much too rare to sup
port life as we know it.
Fortunately the moon is not the only
example of a wornout star The earth,
which probably has many counterparts
in the universe, is another example of
a less desolate kind Here, though the
process Of condensation which is the
chief cause of celestial phenomena has
ceased. the problem of evolution has
not ended. In fact, though the eos
mical problems which we have consid-
cred in their barest elements will not
be completely solved for centuries, it
may be truly said that the questions
raised by the countless living organ-
isms in a single drop of ditch water are
still more complex and will require
still longer time for their solution

A Joker Among Rird..

The bluejay is the most persistent
practical joker in the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself in a
clump of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and when they are enjoying them
selves in their own fashion will sud
denly frighten them almost to death
by screaming out like a hawk. OF
course they scatter in every direction,
| and when they do so the mischievous
rascal gives vent to a cackle that
sounds very much like a laugh. IL
he confined his pranks to such jokes
as this, however, he would not be such
bad neighbor to birds smaller than
himself, but when he amuses himself
by breaking the eggs in their nests and
tearing the young to pieces with his
bill he becomes a pestient nuisance,
and they often combine their forces to
drive him out of the neighborhood.
They do not always succeed, for he
is as full of fight as of mischief, but a
severe conflict teaches him that they,
too, have their rights, and this in
duces him to mend his manners.

The Discovery Of Dynamite.

Alfred Nobel as far back as 1S4S,
during residence in France. produced
the first nitroglycerin powder that was
then known. 1t was in Hamburg that
he discovered by chance dynamite
guhr. Some of his powder had trickled
out of a cask on to the damp soil and
become spoiled by the infusorial earth.
This was happy accident, for as soon
as the moisture had evaporated he
found that one part of this earth to
three parts of nitroglycerin not only
improved its substance as an explo-
sive. but made it safer for handling.
In 1879 Nobel dissolved nitrocellulose
in nitroglycerin, which gave it a more
gelatinous substance. After this he
found that the more gelatinous cellu-
lose was mixed in the nitroglycerin the
more solid it became and the more
slowly it burned, both of which were
important discoveries. OF this sub
stance he made a fuse, only to find
that it was hardly satisfactory because
1t had not sufficient strength to act as a
driving Observation-Disclosures Review

The buzzard's wonderful sense of
smell is curious subject that has Of
ten been discussed, the discussion of
the matter having resulted in gem
eral uniformity of opinion among sci
entists that they locate their food by
their sense of smell alone.
A noted biologist says that he has
noticed that in Florida they never leave
the roots where the night is spent es-
pecially on damp. foggy mornings, I'M
til the moisture has been dried by the
sun. They then move slowly across
the wind until a scent is struck,
when they move more slowly ''up the
wind" until the carrion is located
Sometimes they will drift down the
wind past their prey until they have
struck the scent, which they follow up
until they have found the object Of
their search, sometimes in the densest
thickets.
The biologist says that he has upon
several occasions killed wild hogs
In the thickets, and, after dressing
them and taking what meat he wished,
would see twenty or more buzzards
coming down with the wind. On one
occasion they had discovered some an
imal remains he had covered up and
on another had found dead snake
which he had buried.

A student of social customs has call
ed attention recently to the fact that
man eats today practically the same
viands he did in ancient times. How
ever far back we push our researches,
the foundations of all dishes are the
same-the same birds, the same meats,
the same fish-though perhaps the list
of the ancients' fish is somewhat more
extensive. Modern man has forgotten
the flavor of the porpoise or dognsh,
and in the north, at all events, has
learned to shudder at the suggestion
OF a dish of octopus The meats, the
courses, the principals and in some
cases even the names remain the same.
In spite Of Alexandra Dumas asser-
ton that napkins were first used in
