Startling revelations have been made
Of the secret tests applied to Harry
Orchard, the self-confessed multi-mur-
derer and chief witness at tho trial of
William D. Haywood at Boise, Idaho,
by Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, of Har-
yard. The disclosures are contained in
an article by Prof. Munsterberg in Nc
.Clure's Magazine.
The Harvard professor Of psychology
probed to the very recesses of the con-
vict's brain, and used for his startling
researches perhaps the most remark
able scientific instrument ever devised
the chronoscope.
The use Of this instrument on an
actual criminal in connection with a
murder trial marks an epoch in legal
history, the final developments Of which
may substitute this mute, memorable
revealer Of the inside of mans or a
woman's brain for Judge, jury, district
attorney and police inquisitor alike.
Imagine the use 20 which the per-
fected chronoscope will be put--indeed,
can now be put. Suppose the suspect
arrested In some mysterious murder,
like the Tavshanjian crime. No police
third degree" but an absolutely GER
tain decision, by the application Of the
chronoscope, will declare whether or
not the man Is guilty.
The chronoscope is affixed. Two lit
tie metal bits are placed, one in the
mouth of the inquisitor, the other in
that of the suspect. A dial, divided in
to the thousandth part Of second, is
in electric contact with the bits, and
then single word is spoken by the
inquisitor.
The prisoner is teld to speak, in re-
ply, the first word that comes to his
mind in response. The time this takes
Is recorded on the dial. If the pris-
oner refuses to speak 1t Is a confess
sion of guilt. If he replies his guilt or
innocence can be surely proven. For
other words follow, and the time of the
answering ideas is taken. Then when

FADS OF THE PAST.

It has taken many years for horse
hair covered furniture to pass into Cd
liyion, for the reason that there was
no wear-out to it, except In boarding
house. Most people, therefore, Will re-
member last having seen horsehair fur-
niture in a boarding house, whittier 1t
probably was relegated in the hope that
1t would be worn out. When sucn a
phenomenon did occur, the fact was
usually heralded by the protrusion OF
rusty spring and a messy bunch OF
curled stuffing.
But the remainder Of the cover
would remain in such unyielding good
repair that the owner would be loath

An EIectric AnaesthetIc

The discovery of method Of causing
sleep by electricity is credited to Prof
Leduc of France in current cable adj
vices, and experiments along the same
line have already been made by Prof.
Scripture of Yale. Prof Lednc finds
that a current Of 35 volts sent intermit-
tently through two electrodes applied TO
the skull viii induce a thoroughly healthy
sleep. While the patient sleeps under
this influence the most difficult and pain
full surgical operations may be perform
ed, and the mind seems TO work more
clearly and rapidly as an after effect. The
particular advantage of this new anaes-
thetic is the doing away with all drugs,
and in being able to induce restful sleep
for patients suffering from nervous ex-
haustion where the administering Of drugs
would be dangerous.

NO." was the calm answer.
"Then pray" were the last words of
the big fellow.
The crowd did not expect to see the
figure move, but In an instant the man
was on his knees praying with fervor
Several minutes had elapsed when q
horses hoofs were heard grinding over
the rocky road. A minute mere and a
young woman of comedy appearance
threw herself from her horse and sob

"Joe. Joe, what is the trouble? Oh,

she sobbed. with the tears binding her
and rolling down her ashen cheeks.
"Joe. love you-love you-love you.
Do you understand" she cried.
He said nothing. not even returning
her caresses. and, staring straight
ahead. seemed 70 DC lost In oblivion.
The words of the big fellow, clad In
the blue flannel shirt. chaps and boots,
seemed to tear apart the heartstrings
OF the young woman as she fell to the
ground with a sob.
"Walt. watt" she pleaded to the mob.
'I wish to say something. Listen to

HoRsEHAIR FURNITURE.

TO sacrifice the piece of furniture,
which made it white elephant, there
being no way to replir it unless the
whole cover was replaced.
Another thing that tended to lon
geyity on the part of the almost inn

of sitting on it. Its curves were steep
and its surface slick, so 1t was much
like trying to cling to slate roof. You

Tariff Here and Elsewhere.

It's rather absurd of that Mohonk
conference to demand the abolition of
tariff duties on Philippine goods when
most Of the members continue to vote
against the reduction of the tariff for
the people of the United States. There
is, however, one great difference, for
the American people can revise the
tariff by dlscarding the Republican
party, but the poor Filipinos have no
voice about how much or how little tax
they pay. With them the United
States is like the railroads and trusts
to our own people, by making them pay

Farmer and Tariff.


Does the tariff protect the farmer
No. The tariff plumbers every farmer
on all that he buys. and but a few
farmers who raise sheep and a small
number that grow sugar cane and SUI
gar beets and certain brand of wrap
per tobacco are the only ones that re-
celve any benefit. As the farmers who
grow Connecticut Seed Wrapper to-
bacco are confined to two or three
townships In the Connecticut valley,
who are about the only ones protected
by the tariff on wrapper tobacco, their
number is so Insignificant as not to be
worth mentioning. The number of
farms Of which the principal source of
Income is sugar cane and sugar beet
growing, only exceeds one per cent of
all the farms in two States, namely,
Louisiana 3.3 per cent, and Utah 90
per cent, so that the other farmers of
the United States. besides every other
person, pay the tariff tax upon sugar
of 1.95 cents per pound to subsidize the
Sugar Trust and these few cane sugar
and sugar beet growers. and the prin-
cipal share of the profit is monopolized
by the Sugar Trust who control the
beet sugar factories and also the REIN
cries fer producing granulated sugar,
which Is virtually the only Kind in use
In the United States
But how about the sheep farmers?
According 10 the last census there are
81 GOSSIP sheep on farms. and ranges
In 1900, Of which more than half that
number. or 80. 49o, 669, were on ranges
