An opinion OF much value regarding the form
Of blood test that has been used In the Bechtel
murder trial is expressed by THE New-Yorll
Medical Journal" Sensational papers have
sought to make 1t appear that the procedure is
both new and unreliable The periodical just
mentioned declares. on the other hand that
score Of observers have demonstrated it's utility
during the last four years, that its results are
more certain than those Of the methods hither-
to employed for identifying human blood. and
that in many instances 1t will give indications
where other test is applicable. The principle
of the new system is that solution of dried
human blood will give precipitate when treat
ed with rabbit serum. and that the amount will
be larger than is obtained when the blood of
the lower animals is similarly tested. 1t is af-
frmed that the underlying idea is not iso-
lated discovery, but is only one application OF
many IN chemistry and biology. When high
an authority THE New-York Medical Jour
nal" offers such testimony the legal profession
and general public no longer cherish
doubt.

SEATTLE, Wash. Sept. 16-Partly
buried, with but one foot protrudine
from the ground, the unidentified BODY
of a man, who. it is believed was
murdered. was found last evening in
a clump of bushes in the midst of a
dense woods about half way between
Kirkland and Redmond. Every fact
tends to Substantiate the theory that
that the man met with foul death
The fact that the flesh was decayed
and partly dried shows that the body
has lain there several months. The
skull is nearly bare. but in the right
temple can be seen a hole. evidently
made by a bullet.
The body was so buried in the shall
low grave that the appearances are
that it was doubled up and then
trampled into the earth. Some of the
bones are broken.

UNDERG0ES ALL TESTS
LIKELY FLYING MACHINE EN-
TIERS THE WORLDS FAIR
CONTEST FOR 100000.
Bio Montana Rancher Hopes to Win
the Rich Stake With His
Invention.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia real COM
petitor for the 100000 prize has at
last appeared on the scene at the
Worlds Fair, a man who is confident
that he has the only air ship that can
truly be said to be dirigible, the only
one that actually complies with the
conditions imposed by the authorities
The big machine is in its stall at the
aerodrcme. and several successful
tests have already been made.
The inventor, Mr.. T. @. BenbOW.
has made other airships, two of them.
and he has invented things besides
airships In addition to operating
Montana ranch he has been for many
years an inventor. Like many another
of his temperament and talent, he has
sent his model to the patent office the
day after the other fellow sent his,
or has been defrauded of his right by
the notorious patent attorney. This
time he is in a fair way to derive both
the credit and the cash for the product
of his brain.
The ship is not an aeroplane. 1t is
similar in appearance to the one with
which SantOr-DumOnt expected to
electrify America. Yet the similarity
ends with the appearance. The me-
chanism is totally different. There is
a big gas bag, rs feet long and 20 feet
wide at the center. tapering to points
1T both ends. 1t is made of the finest

Deputy Coroner Arnold was dis
patched to make an investigation. At
Kirkland he secured Il rig and. with
assistants, drove to the scene. The
spot was difficult to find and it was
nearly noon today when the men came
upon the body.
Body Exhumed.
1t was found buried rs BLOOD hal
described. There was not more than q
foot of earth over the corpse. The
mole was not more than four feet long,
and the body had been doubled into
the lily made grave Several homes
were found to be broken From toe
looks of the earth that covered the
body it seemed that after the body had
been placed in the grave some one
jumped upon it to stamp it down tight.
The spot selected for the grave was
beneath clump of thick bushes. Per-
sons could pass by the place every
day and not detect it, The fresh earth
had been covered with leaves until
the spot. was securely hidden from
view.
The body was eXhumed and after
ward taken to Redmond. From there
it was late this afternoon brought to
the Bonney- Watson company morgue
| in Seattle.
Murder Theory Strong.
Anything but the theory of murder
is laughed at at Kirkland. where the
story of the find created considerable
excitement last night.
1t is believed that the murderer
wanted to convey the idea that it was
a suicide by leaving the revolver with
the body. but in that he made a bad
mistake. 1t is the more general opin-
| ion that the slayer thought no one
| would find the remains until after
| corpse had been reduced to dust.

Amount Of Hydrogen Gas.


The bag contains $1,000 cubic feet
of hydrogen gas when it is inflated.
and upon this the ship depends for
the maintenance of the equilibrium.
The frame of the ship is Of aluminium
and bamboo and the power is derived
from a ten-horse gasoline motor, sim
liar to those in use on automobiles and
motor cycles. Thus far the principles
involved are similar to those employed
by Santos Dumont and other inven-
tors of arships. The contrivances for
guiding the huge bag are unique.
The other airships that have been
tested were constructed according to
steamer. One enormous wheel with
two or four blades. served to give the
direction. which could be maintained
on any given plane. If the aerial navi-
gator desired to raise or lower his ma
chine he was compelled to modify his
ballast or regulate the contents of the
aeroplane neither of these methods
is necessary. The change in plane can
be made as easily as the change in di-
rection. and by exactly the same
mechanism.
Mr.. Benbow's idea in constructing
the propeller was derived from the
-, A.
ed to the frame of the ship are four
wheels, each consisting of four pad
dies or fans. The fan is constructed
of a triangular piece of canvas, at
tached to two aluminium rods. These
rods, may be closed or opened at the
pleasure of the navigator. AS the
wheel of the side-Wheeler is half out
of the water all the time, so Mr.. Ben
bow contrived to have his propellers
half out of the air all the time. This
seeming impossibility was easily over
come. AS the wheel revolves, the two
upper fans close, the rods being
brought together so that practically
no canvas surface Is eApOSeu. mus
there is almost no resistance to the
air. just as, in the upper part of the
steamers wheel there is no resistance
to the water.
Opens Automatically.
When the blade reaches the proper
place in it's revolution it opens auto
matically. In regulating the plane of
the ship the navigator changes the
| opening and closing of the blades
| When he wishes to descend he re-
verses the order of the opening and
closing so that the two blades that are
uppermost shall be the open ones. By
means of this regulation of the re-
sistance surface he is able to control
| the motions of the vessel in a breeze,
the principle being similar to that
used by the sailor when he tacks
| against a wind.
The method of turning the airship
around is one of the most interesting
things about the handling of it. 1t is
| interesting because it is SO simple and
so apparent and because no other
| inventor seems to have thought of it
before. The ship is turned exactly as
| rowboat is turned. If the man in the
boat wishes to turn to the left he takes
| the left hand oar out Of the water and
pulls on the other oar. The one-sided
momentum causes the boat to veer
from the straight course, and If it is
