TRIAL OF THAW BEGINS.
Defense VIII Rely Upon Plea of
Hereditary Insanity.

New York.-The state laid it's case
against Harry K. Thaw on Monday
\ plain, Unconditional story of the
shooting on the Madison Square gar
den roof. The defense replied with
a plea of hereditary insanity. 1t
was asserted that Thaw in Staying
White believed he was acting as
agent of Providence; that real or fam
cied wrongs committed against him
by the architect and former friend of
his wife had caused the impulse to
kill. When the deed was done Thaw
made no movement to escape it's
consequences, but stood as If mutely
to the world THE deed
is done; it was right, it was not
wrong"

TWENTY-FIVE MEN KILLED.
Third Mine Explosion in West vir-
ginia Within Two Weeks.


Elkins, w. Va-The third mine ex-
plosion in West Virginia within two
weeks occurred Monday at the Davis
Coal & Coke company's mine No. %,
at Thomas, near here, and twenty-five
or thirty miners are said to have
been killed.
The disaster occurred shortly after
z o'clock in the morning Late Mon.
day the first rescuing party entered
the mine. The bodies of six for
eigners and one American were re-
covered at distance of 100 feet from
the shaft. Before further progress
could be made a deadly wave of
poisonous fumes enveloped the rescu-
ing party, which was composed of
General Manager OFT, d. NJ Boyd,
Superintendent Henry Hine, Daniel
Jones, Mine Boss Arthur Stewart and
John jenkins. Before the rescuing
party could reach the surface Jones
died from suffocation.
Officials of the CO npany say the ac-
cident may have been caused by an
accumulation of gas in a pocket be-
ing ignited by q shot of dynamite or
by miners lamp.

Tohaeeo Smoke PoIsonous.

It is often said that tobacco smoke Is a powerful germicide. The com position of tobacco smoke is complex. the principal constituents being oils of a tarry nature. Nicotine itself is a strong germIcide. bnt the quantity of this poison in tobacco smoke is minute. The oil matter which accumulates in a tobacco pipe is highly poisonous. but does not contain any appreciable ouan- tity of nicotine. the chief constituent of residue being a very poisonous oil known as pyridine. Tobacco smoke contains a decided quantity of carbon monOxide. which Is a preservstive and which must possess germicidsl prop critics. Recently 1t has been observed that one of the principal constituents accounting for the germicidal prop critics of tobacco smoke 10 the power. ful sntiseptic formaldehyde.

CHANCE FOR A HoME.RuN.
schooIboy's Comment on Absence of
 Attraction of Gravitatlon.

A clever teacher. who has the power of calling out originality in her pupils, says that she would have no use for text books if she took time to answer all the startling questions asked in the classroom. One day the attrac- ton of gravitation was under discus sion, when one of the boys said that he didn't see any need of 1t, anyway. Tt seems to me-" said he. there's no particular use in having the earth attract things. Now, when the apple fell, and made Newton think out the reason for 1t, that apple might just as we'll have stayed where 1t was until somebody gathered it." You play ball. don't you?" asked the teacher. Well, suppose you knock the ball very high, what happens?F Tt falls" But if there were no attraction to- wards the earth. 1t wouldn't fall. Don't you think that might prove in- convenient?" My" cried the boy; what . bully chance for home run!"

Joined the Dead a. Their Meal.


 In the medical press is a story of a man who believed that he was dead and who for that reason refused to take any nourishment. How can the dead eat and drink?" he asked. when food was pressed upon him. It was obvious that unless something were done to bring him to his senses the delusion must soon become actuality; he would die of starvation. The strangest ruse was tried. Half dozen attendants, draped in ghostly white. crept silently in single file into the room adjoining his. and. with the door open. sat down where he could see them to a hearty meal. Here, who are these reopleT' inquirsd the pa tient Dead men," answered the doc tor. What" said the pther. Do dead men eat?" TO be sure they do. as you see for yourself" was the an- swer. Well" said the corpse. 'if that is so. I'll join them, for I'm starv. ing" The spell was broken. and he sat down and ate like 70 famished men
