sAokeless steam Coal.

A firm Id Kent has devised an cleo
trical process for converting ordinary
peat into firm, smokeless steam coal
at a modeFate cost. The peat is cut
and e~xcavtted by machinery, loaded
into dumping cars, which convey it to
the plant, where it is packed into TO-
tary iron cylinders. The cylinders be-
ing rotated at high velocity, the CEN
trifugal pressure, aided by an interior
beating system, expels nearly all of
the ninety per cent. of water in the ma
terial. Electrodes connected with \
dynamo are then inserted in the cvlin-
ders in such a manner that the mass of
dried peat completes the electrodes.
The resistance offered by the peat. like
the flament of an lncandescent Iamn
generates heat which carbonizes the
material, producing a mass of disinte.
grated black globules. From the evil
inders the c%arbonized material passes
to machines. which knead it into a
putty-like mass, which is then pressed
into briquettes or left to dry and dark.

wealth closed it's case. The. proceed.
ings Of the last day were taken up en-
tirely with the examination Of experts
on blood.
DR.. John Lear, professor of biology
at Muhlenberg College, who testified
that the stains on articles taken from
the Bechtel home were made by
human blood, was again on the wit.
ness stand. Counsel for the defendant
tried to discredit the biological. or
Bordet, test of determining human
blood which DR.. Lear had employed,
but the cross-examination failed to
shake the direct testimony of the wit
ness. After DR.. Lear had given an
exhaustive explanation of the Bordet
test, which is said to be a new method
in this country, DR.. John Eckert, of
this city, who assisted DIR. Lear in
his tests, was called 70 the stand.
Il defense objected to DR.. Eckert
testlfylng as an expert on the ground
OF youth and inexperience, but the
Court overruled the objection. stating
that lnaSmuch as the test was new
there could be no experience Of long
standing. Dr.. Eckert was on the
stand two hours and corroborated Dr.
Lears statements and conclusions re-
garding blood tests, and declared all
the stains in question to have been
made by human blood.
Dr.. w. d. Penniman, of Johns Hop
kins University, an expert OH blood,
who was in the city on private bust
ness, was subpoenaed by the Common
wealth. Dr.. Penniman is chemist for
the Maryland State Board of Health
n also professor of chemistry in the
Baltimore Medical College.
When summoned to the witness
stand he said he did not care to testify,
and especially not as an expert, unless
compensated as such. The Court ruled
that, as he had been ~subpoenaed he
must testify, leaving the question of
compensation open for later determina-
ton. DR.. Penniman said the biological
or Bordet test to show the difference
between human and animal blood was
reliable. The Bordet test, he said, is
absolute in its conclusions.
DR.. w. w. Eshbach, of this city,
who was present when the blood tests
We're made by DR.. Lear, confirmed the
latter's conclusions that the stains on
the articles exhibited were made by
human blood, and DR.. c. D. Schaeffer,
surgeon-in-chief at the Allentown Hos
pital, the last witness to testify, re-
garded DR.. Lear's test as reliable.
The cases against three of Mrs. Bech-
tets children, John, Charles and
Mytha, who are also charged with
being accessories after the fact, were
continued until the April term of court.
Their bail was renewed.

An incident which came near having
serious results, which were averted by
the prompt intervention of United
States Minister Powell, took place here
on the arrival Of the Clyde Line steam
er New York. President Morales de-
manded that the shipping agent sur
render the ships letters, and when the
agent refused his arrest was ordered.
To avoid arrest the agent went on
board the New York. carrying the let
tiers with him. He then sent for Con-
sui Maxwell, who accompanied him to
the palace, where President Morales re-
newed his demand and compelled the
agent to give up several letters.
Minister Powell, learning of the incl
dent, promptly went to the palace and
demanded that the letters taken from
the agent be delivered to him. This
President Morales refused to do, but
Mr.. Powell persisted in his demand,
saying that the Government had no
right to take such action. and that the
President must hand the letters to him,
which President Morales reluctantly
did. Mr.. Powell also told President
Morales that the agent was entitled to
his protection, as he represented an
American company, and that further
the agent could not be expelled, as was
threatened.

Much interest has lately been aroused
In London by two surgical operations.
which have resulted in a marked
change of character in the patients.
One was that Of a boy of good family
who had developed strangely brutal
instincts. A clever surgeon examined
him with care, located what he con
sidered the seat of the trouble, removed
a piece of the skull, and thus relieved
the deformed pressure. The lad was
restored to his parents a normal and
lovable child. The other case was
that of a soldier who, after an injury
in a skirmish, developed a propensity
for theft. An operation on the brain
cured him.
