Testing this and other schemes Of
protection, Dir. N. Monroe Hopkins, as
sistant professor of chemistry in the
university and electrical engineer of
the United States navy, is able at any
time to produce a miniature thunder
storm one offering just such condl-
tions as those in the midst of which
the tall stacks of Uncle SaIA's navy

tected from the assaults of Jupiter
Pluvius. No downfall of rain or hail.

lightning is quite as real and, to the
visitor almost as awe-inspirfng, as in
nature. BY means of a tandem of
"sterup tansformers,'' the fnvesti-
gator sends cracking ac-oSs the air

rods a current, which in the languas Q
of the electrician, is said Ia be under a
pressure of 100000 volts, or, as the
| ordinary man sees it, sharp enough to
make him blink and wonder If he is
going to escape electrocuticn. Like
the lightning in the clouds, whose
voltage is so great that it can hardly
be measured, this is an alternating
current with which, DR. Hopkins re
produces the effect of the terrifying
flashes of summer thunderstorms
How swift the alterations are is
featured in the statement that they
reach as high as 100000 per second

But Ruth. without waiting for any Of these

And, obeying the eager look Of the girl,
the grave nod Of the Judge. Cronkite read
from his note book AZ follows:
First. The defendants apathy was not a
sign OF guilt. While a murderer through
bopelessness may become indifferent to his
own fate. he never loses interest in the
der itself. There il n fascination about the
act which he has committed which will hold
him intent whenever IL In described. But
Cory was utterly ~irresponsive to any refer
ence. however narrowing. to his supposed
victim.
Second. Mrs. Ryland's appeal for ven
geance was Fictitious. because there was no
occasion for it,. Tn trial had 80 far ad-
vanced that it was obvious that the de-
PENDANT would be convicted. Besides. she
and the deceased had always fought like
cats and dogs.
Third. Medical testimony as TO the cause
Of the death was loose and misleading. IN
doubtedly death was caused by a blow with
some blunt instrument, f%racturing the skull;
but it was pure assumption. backed only by
proximity. to take il for granted that the
ruler WAS this instrument. Per contra. I

Fourth. Defendants silence may have
been due 10 devotion rather than to guilt.

pocket at the time OF arrest"
Rather disjointed. Abe" was the Judges
comment when his man had finished.
But Ruth Wayne sprang to her feet with

she cried. but they may be joined together,

DISCOVERS GREAT
DIAMOND PLAYER
LAJOIE FIRST SfGNS INFORMAL
CONTRACT
Agrees to Enter Professional Ball for
a Salary Of 500 Per Month and
Affixes Signature ON
Envelope

The first baseball contract that Ma
poleon Lajoie ever signed was written
on the back of a common envelope and
called for Larry's services for the sum
of 800 month.
The story Of how Lajoie broke into
the professional game was told by
Charley Marston of Fall River, Mass,
as he sat in the grandstand at Central
park at Atlanta recently and watched
through it's daily practice stunts.
Back in January, 1896. Marston, then
manager of the Fall River club, and
Selee, then managing the Boston Ma
tionals, dropped into the office of the
sporting edito- of the Boston Herald.
A few other baseball men were there,
including Woodcock, who was once a
star pitcher at Brown university
do any of you know of any good
players that would do for my club?'
asked Marston.
"I know of a good batter" replied
Woodcock. "I don't know his name,
bu he is big Frenc'man that lives
down at Woonsocket. l call myself/a
pretty fair pitcher, 1ut 1 haven't any
thing that he cannot hit all over the
field. I can't get the ball past the
plate"
AS they left. Selee rather discouraged
Marston in going after Larry. Mar
ston, however, could not get Woodcock' S
tip out of his mind, and the next morn
ing he went down to Woonsocket.
He did not know the name of the
man that he was going for. and when
he reached the town of shoes he made
inquiries at the depot but without sue
cess Next, he visited a newspaper
office, but there they did not seem te
know whom he meant.
Finally he stepped into a cafe, and
, when he said lie was after a big French
man that could hit the ball mile he
was told that he must mean Larry
Lajoie He next went to where Larry
was employed and then he was sum-
moned.
Marston had neglected to take con,
tract with him. but an envelope was
| brought into USE and the greatest ball
player that ever lived signed up on
that II asked him where he wanted 10
play" continued Marston, land he said
he wanted to play second. AS 1 had a
tgood second baseman. however, 1 told
him that there was no chance, and he
replied that he could play any place
except pitch"
