the bomb and found slight depres-

next day by Gen. Bulkely Wells, who
used a pocket knife to cut the soil

Boise, Idaho. June 19-The state
today made a dramatic production
and proof of the Goddard bomb and
besides offering further contributions
of testimony of Harry Orchard
against William d. Haywood, secured
a ruling under which number of
denunciatory articles published in
the Miners Magazine, the official OF
gan of the Western Federation of
Miners will be admitted in evidence.
TO Justice Luther M. Goddard him
self, fell the task Of telling the story
of finding and the preservation for
use as evidence of the bomb with
which Orchard tried to kill him. His
appearance on the stand added an
other to the many dramatic scenes
that have characterized the trial, and
his testimony was clear and infinitely
circumstantial.
The jurist testified that the first
information that he received about
the bomb came to him from Or
chard's confession which was shown
to him at Denver on February 13,
1906. by Detective Mcfarland. He
at once returned to his home and in
his gate discovered the screw eye
which Orchard said he placed there.

that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.

but determined to give it one more

tllre to percolatc unobstructed to the
we'll as other difficulties generally en-
countered, Mr.. John G.. Won Hofe, has
invented new type OF hollow build
ing block and new form of wall con-
struction, which the Scientific Ameri-
can illustrates in the accompanying
engraving-a veneer of hollow blocks
bonded to an air-spaced monolith
mass. The block is narrow, being
adapted to be used as an ornamental
veneer for a continuous concrete wall.
A recess is nodded in the end of each
block with a semicircular opening in
the rear wall, and when two blocks
are placed end to end, the adjacent
recesses form chamber, to which ac-
cess is provided at the rear through
circular port formed by the two ad-
jacent openings. This chamber being
larger than the port serves as an un-
dercut cavity or T-shaped lock. In
constructing the wall the veneer
blocks are set up in courses which
break joints in the usual manner, and
the concrete is poured in between
them and temporary backing. The
material flows into the undercut cavi-
ties, securely bonding the blocks to
the concrete wall Each block is form
ed with air spaces, which register
with similar spaces in the courses
above and below, so that continuous
vertical air passages are formed
throughout the wall. The concrete
wall is also poured to form air pass
ages back Of each joint in the veneer
ing, so that moisture seeping through
the joint will be arrested by the air
space. The invention can be applied
to face brick, terra Gotta, or cement
blocks, and the face of the blocks can
be nodded to represent cut or rough
stone, or any other desired pattern.
The system may be employed on the
tallest reinforced concrete structure,
eliminating the expense of forming
front panels for the face of the wall,
while plain or ornamental designs can
be nodded at cost only trifle over
that of the concrete displaced by the
blocks.

Rjuht Kind of B5fh

When the body is fatigued or the
brain has been overtaxed by excessive
mental work it is very wrong to take
a cold bath. Such bath exhausts,
and if we add this to the already weak
state of the body the result seems re-
juvenating for the moment; but very
soon the tension becomes too great
and the body cannot be forced to do
more work
A warm bath is the only kind to be
applied when one wishes to recover
from fatigue, and the longer in reason
tired body remains in bath of, say,
70 degrees the quieter becomes the
strained nerves and the easier follows
the sought-for rest.
