BODY FOUND IN THE RUINS
Minneapolis Student Persisted in Fire

From tho ruins of the Alpha Tau
Omega fraternity house at Cornell
university. Ithaca, N. Y, which had
been destroyed by fire, were taken the
charred remains of J. S. Kiehle. a
junior in mechanical engineering. That
any lives had been lost was not known
until meeting of the fraternity was
held when roll call developed the
fact that Kiehle was missing. The
ruins were searched and his body was
found near the elevator shaft where
the fire originated. 1t is supposed
that I<iehle was on his way to an up

Cornell cross country team, who was
known to be an occupant of a room
there. Seeleye, scantily clothed, es-

SON FOUND GUILTY.
But Father Is Acquitted by Jury at
HASTINGS.

Hastings.
Guilty of manslaughter in the first
degree for the son and mot guilty"
for the father was the double verdict
rendered by the jury at Hastings in
the Brennan murder trial The jury
was out almost an even twelve hours.
Anthony Brennan, the murdered
man, was shot while in field on his
farm on Aug. 81, 1907. At the time
OF the shooting he was engaged in a
quarrel with Michael Nolan Brennan
and the latter's son, Michael Brennan.
.jr., over the boundary lines of their
farms, which adjoin each other.
Both father and son We're arrested,
and on the death of the wounded man
a day or two later were charged with
murder
During the trial it developed that
there had been trouble between the
Brennan families ever since they had
lived on the adjoining farms, and an
attempt was made to show premedita-
ton OF murder on the part of the de-
PENDANTS. The testimony also revealed
an attack on the younger man by An
thony Brennan during the quarrel on
the day Of the crime, and during
which Anthony Brennan struck Mich
aei Brennan, Jr., on the face with a
stick. 1t was following this blow that
the shot which resulted in Anthonv's
death was fired
Inc young man admitted the shoot
ing, but declared he did not intend to
DO more than wound his assailant and
that he intended to shoot him in the
leg. Self-defense was the plea made
by both the Brennans.

YEAST is A PLANT.
But 1t Can Be Seen as Such Only
With the Microscope.


Yeast is a small plant which can be
seen only with the aid of the micro
scope, says Good Health. There are
two varieties, wild and cultivated, for
these tiny plants can be improved
through cultivation, as larger plants
can be.
Firms which make yeast for the
market must grow these plants quite
as carefully as the florist grows his
flowers. Care must be taken that they
do not become mixed with other varie-
ties, therefore destroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care
fully disinfected, and if it is found
that the yeast becomes contaminated
in one building the culture is started
anew and the other building previously
diSinfected before moving into it.
This plant, like bacteria, requires
warmth, moisture and food The mate
rails out Of which the bread is made
should always be warmed, and the
dough should always be kept in a
warm place. The temperature most
favorable is about that of the body a
little less than 100 degrees.
There is always considerable mois-
ture in bread and plenty of food for
the plant The food which it requires
is sugar This it obtains from the
wheat, there being some sugar in the
-four. and more sugar is also formed
from the starch.
AS the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break it down into two sub
stances. alcohol and a gas known as
carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas
AS the gas is formed it is held by the
gluten, which is a very elastic sub
stance. When the bread is put into the
oven the heat expands the tiny bub-
bles of gas, causing the bread to rise
or to become much lighter. The alco-
hol formed, being volatile product.
passes off into the baking.

PITFALLS OF ENGLISH.
Our, Puzzling Language and Its Words
of More Than One Meaning.


of More Than One Meaning.
Of all modern languages English is
undoubtedly the most difficult to ac-
quire. In addition to the ordinary
pitfalls of forms and idioms that en-
trap the foreigner struggling for mas
terry of strange tongue, there is one
so peculiar to ours that nothing even
remotely similar presents itself in any
other language, whether ancient or
modern.
This is the paradoXical word the
word which has two meanings diamet-
rically opposed to each other 1t is
not enough that, with all the wealth
of words borrowed from half a score
OF other languages, we must impose a
double and often a multiple burden on
some poor little monosyllabic word
like get" for instance, whose mean
ings are legion. Our language must
needs confound the student at the
gates with the paradox. To give a
few examples:
The word ''let'' means to allow
or permit and likewise to pre-
vent hinder" or refuse" meanings
Numerically opposite. II will let you
do it, in the former sense is hardly
more common in use than the phrase
without let or hindrance,' and
Shakespeare has it, "By heaven, I'll
make a ghost of him that lets (pre-
vents mep'
'Cleave' means to split asunder as
well as to adhere or "bind'' closely.
Scott makes Marmion threaten to
"cleave the Douglas head" while
holy writ enjoins upon the husband to
''cleave unto his WIFE"
Another example is ''lurid," which
means both dull red' and also a
pale green hue, tints that are exact
" opposed in the scale of color. While
the former is the more common mean
Ing, the latter is more scholarly cor
rect, as the word is derived through
the Latin from the Greek adjective
meaning ''greenish hued."
Again, we have FAST A horse
that Is fast may be in rapid motion
or standing tied stock still. In either
sense, whether of motion or immobili
ty, the word emphasizes the idea.
Examples of this bewildering pit
fall of our tongue might be multiplied
indefinitely. 1t may be said of the
English speaking world as it was said
of the old Romans-that their suprem
acy is due to the fact that they dc
not have to learn their own language

pleased and satisfied with the outcome
OF the case. ThaW stood and smiling
~ bowed his acknowledgements to the
jurors as they filed one by one out of

ever since the crime was committed
that ThaW was medically, if not le-

Dangerous to Public Safety.
In announcing his decision to send
Thaw to Matteawan Judge Bowling
said:
The only testimony in this case
upon which verdict of insanity
could be based was to the effect that
the defendant is suffering from
manic Oppressive form of mental de-
rangement. This testimony and the
diagnosis of the form of insanity was
based upon prior outbreaks of the de-
PENDANT as testified to by witnesses
from London, Monte Carlo, Paris and
Albany. 1t also appears from the tes-
tinOny, and the court was careful to
Inquire as to this, that occurrences of
these attacks are reasonably certain.
There has been no tes timony adduced
here TO show that a person suffering
from this form of insanity ever can be
permanently cured. 1t appears, now
ever, that during the maniacal form
Of the disease the person suffering
therefrom is likely to commit danger
Gus assaults or murder There is dan.
ger also of suicide.
Therefore, upon all the testimony
in this case, the court deems that to
allow the defendant to go at large
would be dangerous 10 the public
safety. The decision of the court is
that the defendant shall not be dis
charged, but being in custody shall be
SO held and committed with all dis,
patch to the state hospital for the
criminal insane at Matteawan The
sheriff Of the county is directed TO
take custody Of the defendant and
