Jury by noon Friday.
Mr.. Delmas, in his address to the
jury, will urge the acquttal Of Harry
K. Thaw on the theory that he was
temporarily insane at the time ne
killed Stanford White. He will argue
that the defense has shown beyond
doubt that Thaw's mind was unhinged
by the story which Evelyn Nesbitt-
Thaw told him before they were mar
ried and tnat it was while in a con-
dition Of mental responsibility that
he took Stanford Whites life. He
will attempt to liscredit Abraham
Hummel who has testified that Eve
lyn Thaw told MIN everything that
was In the affidavit, by showing Hum
mel's record.
District Attorney Jerome will ar

the first degree. He will claim that
there Is nothing in the case to show
more than jealousy and that his ha-

his wife's lover before he married

out Thaw trial, and on Friday the
case will go to the jury after nine

Of them will be asked, basing his
opinion on the district-attorney's hy-
pothetical question, whether in mis-
opinion Thaw when he shot White
knew the nature and quality Of his
act and knew it was wrong. Each
will reply that in mis- opinion Thaw did
not.

that Evelyn Nesbitt-Thaw would not
be called to the witness stand.
The only thing she could do would
. be to again deny that she told Hum

Thaw and deny again that she knew
when she signed it. 1t is not believed
that this would be of any value tc
the defense as sne has already tolt

MAGIC OF THE BASS.
Memories Of the Battle That linssr
With the AnoIsr

THE Indians call 1t Media Mon-nuh-
she-gan,' which translated means mag
ic bass. He is said to be much like
other black bass in appearance. But
his peculiar attributes are these:
He must be caught by casting. with
a surface bait. so that you can see him
rise to 1t. He may be taken In running
water where the clear current foams
over mossy bowlders and through CUR
Cling, sunlit shadows or In the silent
pools where the forest hangs darkly
over the stream. He may be taken at
some still lakes grassy marge, where
the water lilies build him a green and
white and golden canopy, or in the
open places when the west winds
magic turns the CLASSY surface into
silver.
But wherever you find him you will
see that nature rules supreme. And
whether in Drawing stream or quiet
pool. In some peaceful lllied bay or just
beneath the rippled broad expanse,
where the wild beauty Of the spot
makes your heart heat faster, here
may you find the magic bass.
"And this ls his magic: That whep
you have fought him inch By inch and
have looked upon him as he lay ex
hausted In your landing net you are
his forever For wherever you 60 and
whatever you do there will come to
you ever and often a dream Of his flrsi
leap into the air. of the tugglng line
an ff his body ut your feet, and indis
tlnci iv',;i'i 1t all lie the sparkling wa.
ter and the forest and the blue sky.
"In the dead Of winter you will Of q
sudden hear the soft splash Of the bass
rising 10 your 6y. you Will feel the sud
den tautness Of the line, and the snow
outside your window will melt into a
summer landscape. When you are
busiest there will come to you the song
Of the reel and the smell Of pine and
fir and balsam. That 10 the magic

An aeroplane may be defined as a
surface propelled horizontally IN such
a manner that the resulting pressure
OF air from beneath prevents Its fall
ing A balloon can remain stationary
over II given spot In calm. but an
aeropinne must be kept in motion If
it Is to remain IN the air. Such plane
literally runs ON the air like skater
gliding over thin Ice. The most fa-
millar example Of an aeroplane is the
kite Of our boyhood days. We all re-
member how we kept it aloft even In
a light breeze by running with 1t
against the wind. Substitute the pull
of propeller for the cord and the
aeroplane flying machine is created.
II this were all. the problem Of arti-
fetal flight would have been solved long
ago. There remains the supremely
difficult art Of balancing the plane so

If you have ever sailed u canoe you

that You have succeeded In keeping the
