substance has gone toward forming
the little curdling humps that will be
found floating In the never settling liq-

into which IL was dissolved Though
boiling Is bad for gelatin. the liquid
into which II is put should always be
hot, and the custard, bavarois or Juice
that has 20 be soidhed with gelatin
should always be quite cooked and

The brief of Solicitor General Richards
and Judge Advocate E. H. Crowder. in the
habeas corpus case of Capt. Peter c. De-
ming was filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday The case is one of the most i'm

dent, June s. 1900. and on June l? he
was sent to Leavenworth Prison.
