Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and
Swallowing a Forged Check.
The Kings county court was thrown
into disorder and dismay, says Seat
tie special to the st. Louis Post-Dis'
patch, when the prisoner at the bar,
H. R. McTavish, ate all the evidence
in the case on trial. McTayish was
being tried on charge of forging a
SIS check. The check lay on the trial
table, marked exhibit A." McTavish
sat beside his counsel, who was en-
gagged in cross-examining a witness
for the prosecution.
The case was going against Nc
lavish when his eye fell on the check
which was about to be introduced IN
evidence. Like a half-starved man
and with look of hunger in his eye
the prisoner bounced upon exhibit A
and chewed it to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
it down. The prosecution was in con-
sternation, for its main piece OF evil
dence was gone, and demanded that
stomach pump be used forthwith
While the lawyers argued pro and con,
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with whitfield match, plainly the
master of the situation. The defense
argued that the ball of paper in the
defendants stomach could in no wise
be construed as documentary evil
dence, and that dismissal was prop
er.
The case Of the state Of Washing
ton against II. r. McTayish is now IN
statu quo pending the untangling OF
the legal question involved from the
defendants impromptu luncheon.

How Spiders Make Love,

The courtship of the Salts pulex, a
spider, is described by an expert in in
sect life as a most elaborate exhibit.
ton of skill and grace in dancing.
Balancing his body on his long legs,
he moves in a semi-circle for about
two inches, and then reversing the
position twists and turns in the oppo'
site direction, repeating this grotesQue
figure scores of times, and pausing
every few minutes to rock from side
to side, and to bend his brilliant legs,
SO that they may be brought into full
view of his admiring mate.
A similar display, but with varied
antics, marks the love-making of other
sorts of spiders, but this manner Of
counting is not without its risks, and
it may often happen that the lively
sutton, if he prolongs his performance,
or shows off his points of perfection
too persistently, is suddenly seized
and devoured by his more muscular
mate

GAS AND WATER.
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER2
Citizens of Large Cities Sag 1t II.

New York June 1S.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi-
dent is as dependent upon supply Of
gas as upon supply Of good water.
1t has come to pass that the day la
borer uses gas as Ills only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, Is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind CT light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
!ene), and each user makes his own gas
and is independent OF Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylene is more per-
feet illuminant than the gas sold by
The big gas companies In the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
the equivalent of city gas at IS cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition 10 the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cesslties.
The light from an acetylene flame is
soft. steady and brilliant, and in quail
ity is only rlyaled by the suns rays.
If water and a solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con-
tact, the immediate result is the max
ing Of this wonderful gas. The genera
ton of acetylene is so simple that ex-
perience or even apparatus is not neces-
sary to make IL. If 1t Is desired to
make it for practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then a small
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tor is employed. There are many re-
sponsible concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds OF entire cities and
towns In the same manner as ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only salts
factory means Of Lighting isolated
buildings located In the country or
suburbs at distance from city gas OF
electric plants.

ARE INSPIRED BY PATRIOTISM

That the japanese have outfought
the Russians in the war in the East
IS fact that cannot be denied.
The japanese rank and file, inspired
by patriotism and a conviction that
only war could end the threat of
foreign encroachment, have been
terribly in earnest. Racially. they
have little fear of death and pre-
fer it to surrender. While they
are physically much smaller than
the Russians, they are healthy,
hardy and temperate. IN point of
enduranceand simple requirements
they are unsurpassed.
But it is necessary to remember
that the Russians are cumbrous in
movement and trained merely to be
fighting machines. The war in the
East had no element of patriotism
for them. With stolid courage.
they obeyed their generals and have
made many brave assaults, as well
as stubborn retreats, but their
heart was not in the work beyond
the natural pride in striving for
victory.
The Russian policy has been too
| defensive in such a war.
At Port Arthur their powerful
fleet finally went to the bottom
without having fought a general
battle. That record is a great blot
amountingalmost to disgrace. I'm
Intensely strong field Notifications
were built south of Mukden, but
the Japanese general marched
around them on both TANKS and
forced a series of battles in the
open country, the result of which
was that the massive works and
their heavy guns had to be aban-
doned. The japanese commander
has been the master of his antag-
onist in strategy and tactics, as
well as the pOssessor of much the
better army Of the two.
Russia's line of supplies, over a
single-track railway 5000 miles
long, would have beaten it eventu-
ally in any case, unless Japan had
become financially exhausted. The
| Russian defeat, in view of the Jap,
anese earnestness and efficiency
may be called a foregone conclusion,
