Crystal Bay Filling Up.
Minnetonka Beach, just beyond the
narrows in the lower lake and on the
north shore, has a boom on, and the
shoreline has been pretty we'll taken
up. The popularity of this point has
forced the buying and locating over
into Crystal Bay. George Bestor has
bought lately twenty acres between
Crystal and Maxwell Bays, and Thomas
H. Shevlin has acquired 100 acres on
the north shore Of Crystal Bay, includ-
woody has established the next big es-
tate north of Brown s Bay, including
over 200 acres of land with part of
Minnetonka, Bluffs. The next lot of
shore line on Brown and Wayzata Bays
has been absorbed by the Ferndale pop
u%lation. The Highcroft and the Bovey
properties lie here, as well as the Chris
tian, Hardenburgh, Porter, Semple,
Phelps, Northup and Bell estates. J.
S. Bell has just added to his holdings
thirty-three acres belonging formerly
to j. S. Tuttle. He paid $4,000. The
towns of Wayzata and New Wayzata,
already well settled; occupy almost the
entire Wayzata Bay shore. ..~
On the south side, between Maple
wood and around the line of Robinson s
Bay and Bay ST.. Louis, the shore has
been bought by large property holders
for permanent ownership.
On the St. Louis Bay is the famous
old Gibson estate, Northome, including
the site Of the hotel. This has beer
divided up to some extent, the Gibsons
still holding some property, however

Paris is very much concerned at pres
ent over new phenomena which is
called, for lack of better name, musl-
cal mediumship. In the same way that
few years ago the attention of the
French scientists was largely occupied
with thought transference. now many
investigators in the French capital are
carefully following the experiments
which are being conducted with the
musical mediums.
In the last number of the Journal des
Debats, M. Henri de Parville carefully
goes over the whole ground and the
facts presented are well worth consid-
ering. M. de Parville first takes up the
case of a subject by the name of Au-
bert. This man, although he had but
"a rudimentary knowledge of music, per-
forms on the piano. i'm a semi-hypnotic
state, compositions which recall the
musical style of Mozart, Chopin, Beeth-
oven, Schubert and others. A second
and far more remarkable case, how
ever. is that of Mile. Nydia. This wo-
man, In hypnotic state and with her

eyes carefully bandaged, is able to play
on the piano any piece of music which
may be given her. Thus at sitting
recently held at the "Theater de la
Monnaine" in Brussels. Mile. Nydia
was led to M. Silvayn Dupuy, chief of
the orchestra of the theater, who gave
her a piece of music composed by him
self. which had never been published.
II. Dupuy saw that the bandage had
been tightly placed over the girls eyes,
Mile. Nydia then sat down, held the
paper i'm her hand for a few moments
and then, to the great astonishment ot
everyone played the piece without hesi-
ton.
1.-TWO physicians examined the young
woman and found her to be in real
hypnotic state and absolutely insensi-

then placed over her eyes a succession
of bandases, alternating white and

The work done in these places is
interesting because suggestive of what
can be accomplished elsewhere. An
attempt was made to raise the stand
ard of art culture by sending an ex-
hibition of pictures through the va
rious school districts. This consisted
of 200 carefully selected subjects, prop
erly framed, which took in a journey
reaching from Springfield, Mass, to
Albany, N. Y, and taking in neigh
boring territory. Such was the success
of this venture that 1000 mounted un-
framed pictures were added, beside re-
productions of casts. This collection
was exhibited in various places under
the direction of the school boards, and
in some towns talks by local artists
added to the value of the exhibit. An
other incentive TO school room deco
ration is a collection of photographs
which on application has been eXhib-
ited at various places and the exhibit
of original drawings.
To aid in the selection of school room
pictures-for it is desirable they
should not only be good, but should
not soar above the comprehension of
the children-the regents of the State
of New York university have sent
forth list of photographs for use in
schools and suggestions from other
schools are always available In the
of authors an extended list
can be chosen, supplemented by the

outcome of his trial. When / asked him

This Is the extent of my personal ac-
quaintance with Wood He impressed
me as weak mortal, with not much
mental or physical vim. 1 tried to per-
suade the sheriff and his assistant to
express an opinion about the man, but
they would not commit themselves.
Tradesmen and other citizens of Som
eiville were likewise reticent. Either
[ put my queries too bluntly to in
veigle them into conversation or they
were frank and above board in de-
clarng that Wood was too much of a
puzzle to them to be discussed with a
stranger. Doubtless some Of them had
definite opinions about Wood, just the
same.
In Woods case nothing in particular
was sufficiently insane to justify the
ment that he had absolutely forgotten
what he did on the day of his crime
and for several days afterward. He
may or may not have told the truth.
AS noted above, the prosecution was
evidently of the opinion that the man
was sufficiently insane to justify the
jury in acquitting him of the charge Of

How to Utilize Magazine and Newspaper Pictures

painting The New York state board of
regents have sent carbon prints to va
rious schools in this way and some
places are so fortunate as to have an
appropriation for school room pictures.
Some teachers have used full page H.

In any town where a public library
is an educational factor 1t will help
in providing these pictures. as often
magazines are thrown away after a
certain number have been preserved
for binding. The Denver public Ii
brary gave an exhibition of mounted
pictures to show what could be done
with this material. pasting the pages
on burlap screens. These were ex-
hibited while a state teachers assoc
citation was in progress, and many
teachers went home with new ideas
about making country school houses
more pleasing to the eye. The Boston
public library keeps portfolios OF photo
graphs, which are sent from one school
house to another, and as they are ar
ranged so that the portfolio opens like
an easel, the whole affair rests on the
teachers desk. and can be looked at
by the children when they desire.

What child is not delighted with pic
lures and pleasant surroundings? And
yet only recently have attempts been
made to decorate school houses and to
render them so that children love to
look at them.
The whole affair is so simple and the
decorations in most cases so easily ac-
compished one wonders why it was
never attempted before. Patriotic and
historical pictures, also pictures of
famous people and numberless photo
graphs which can be obtained in cheap
form, are always admissible and pic
lures OF historical events not only look
well on the walls, but suggest questions.
Probably the first attempt at deeora-
tion was made in Boston, where the
city schools, as we'll as those of Maiden
Salem, Medford and Brookline were
decorated. Closely following came
New York, whose Public Educational
association started the work. Both
places worked carefully. In New York
one room was devoted to medieval art,
which included reproductions of build
ings. statues and paintings. Another
room was given to literature as illus
trated by the portraits and pictures of
houses of famous writer's. Europe
was represented in another room, with
pictures of art galleries and copies of
famous fountains and streets, and to
finish an explanatory catalogue was
hung In each room.

murder in the first degree The trial
was followed with considerable inter-
est all over the country and may
eventually become one of those cases
which are called celebrated" Ger
tainly the public prints gave enough
space to the proceedings to make the
case noted, If publicity and minute de-
tails can accomplish this. To me the
case is mainly interesting because it
brings up for renewed discussion a
subject about which 1 have thought a
great deal.
In the New Jersey case it was not
determined whether the prisoner Is in
sane or not; we are still in the dark
OH this point. If he is truly insane he
ought TO be in an asylum; if he be
shamming and did willfully and pur-
posey kill his man, he ought to be
hanged by the law.
Now. the question | desire to put
is: Are we not wastefully confusing
two important things when at the same
trial we consider a mans insanity and
also his criminal guilt? / say waste
fully" advisedly because trials in this
country are expensive at the best, and
to try an insane man for an alleged
crime judgment upon which requires
two sets of experts warning with one
another is not only expensive but un-
fair to the taxpayer.
In view of these facts-and 1 know
that they have been proved to be such
in a great many instances-why would
it not be more just, reasonable and

less series of the Virgin and Child, of
angels and cherubs, could decorate an
other room, while the bas reliefs of
Lucca della Robbia suggest the art of
the Renaissance. Even a Greek room
can be planned. where photographs of
the Venus of Milo and other fine stat
uary, not necessarily expensive, but
correct in modelling, can be shown,
that the child may be accustomed to
famous pieces. These and photographs
can, where means are limited be sent
from room to room, and talks can be
given on the subject to interest the
children.
Expense is always a consideration in
the decoration of the school room, for
frequently school boards are not aver
generous in their appropriations. In
these cases one must devise original
means and ways. One energetic

foiled bought cheap bits of pottery.

These are questions which have re-
Gently busted the public mind in SOM
erset county, N. J. One George Wood
was said to have killed a man of the
name of williams. The latter was
stranger to Wood; there seemed to be
no particular motive for the murder.
When eventually charged with tho
deed, Wood pleaded not guilty and
said: II have no recollection of what
1 did or said between January 80 and
February s. my mind is a blank about
all those days." the period of time, I
believe, during which the murder was
perpetrated. TO save his neck, Wood
at last pleaded guilty to a less grave
charge and is now in prison at Tren-
ton, N. J., with thirty-year sentence.
The public prosecutor allowed the
criminal to plead thus, I understand,
because he had serious doubts about
the mans complete sanity.
I saw Wood in the Jail at Somer-
Vile, N. j., the day before he pleaded
guilty He stood behind the bars Of
the Jail corridor, talking to several re-
porters Court had adjourned and the
reporters had a chance to interview the
prisoner personally. I had to press
close to the bars to speak with him.
He is salIow-faced, weak-eyed, insig-
nifcant looking young man. He was
sucking nervously at a cigarette at
the time.
"How do you do, George?" I said.
"You remember me, Of course?"
We had never seen each other be-
fore, so far as I know
II don't recall you," Wood replied in
dreamy way.
"Why, don't you remember our meet
ings in New York;" persisted. He was
so forgetful of things that had hap
pened that was determined to learn
whether he could remember things that
had not happened.
I'VE may have met before" Wood re-
turned, his eyes running over me hur-
riedly, but I don't remember
I then asked him sharply why he
had taken the glass of beer which, he
had claimed in court, was one of the
means of his undoing-loss of memory.
"Why does anyone take glass of
beer?" he snapped back, for the first
time showing little spirit. "Why do
you take beer?"
Sure enough" I pursued, "but do
you know whether that beer had been
doctored or not?"
No, he did not know whether it had
