How Frozen Insects Revive.

Experiments in reyiving frozen in- sects by a naturalist show some sur prising results. A large cecropia moth. frozen in the center of a snowfall until 1t was perfectly brittle. revived in twenty seconds when held near a stove. Several newly matched 10 moths revived in a similar manner after being frozen stiff and then thawed out Sim flsr experiments with ants. butterflies and house flies gave the same results. But the naturalist noticed that recent ly matched insects resist cold better than older ones.

SPECIAL JURY IN HANS CASE.
Charges Against Brothers
 to Be Rushed to Trial.
MRS. HANS MAKES DENIAL
Wife of Accused Army Captain and Al. legged Cause of Shooting Says She Has Made No Confession" as She "Had Nothing to Confess" but She Signed Document" She Says.

Signed Document" She Says.
 Long Island City, N. T., Aug. 1S.-A special grand jury will be impaneled within the next five days, it was an- nounced, to indict Captain Peter c. Hains, U. s. A., and his brother, I. Jenkins Hains, for the killing of Will liam E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club.
 Captain Hains will be indicted for murder in the first degree and his brother as an accessory before the murder, both capital crimes. A spe- cial term of the criminal branch of the supreme court will then be convened, and the two men will be placed on trial within a month after the com mission of the murder, almost unprece- dented swiftness of justice in this state,
 This course was decided upon by District Attorney Ira D. c. Darrin of Queens county. He said he was in fa- vor of the speediest trial possible. and owing to the press of other legal busi- ness when the regular grand jury con venes in October the two men ordi- narily would not come to trial before December at the earliest.
 Mrs. Hains Will Help Mrs. Annis.
 While the authorities were thus plan- ming to expedite the trial Mrs. Hains. wife of the army officer, was in New York, determined to help Mrs. Annis, the wife of the dead man, in every way she could to further the prosecu- ton.
 Mrs. Hains, over whom the shooting is said to have occurred, was asked If it was true that she had made what was described as confession of her knowledge of the matters leading to the crime She said:
 There is no confession in exist enee. had nothing to confess. l did sign a document the contents of which knew nothing. but did it because I | was forced to.
 "I had been kept without food for two days, and in this weakened condi- tion whisky was forced upon me. Then they brought me document and made me sign it. This must be the confession that they speak of"

EXCITEMENT.
ON CROOK

A woman cying for her son because
he was not, seven sailors who wanted
to stow away fired ashore and marine
attempting to get away, having broken
from bread and water in the brig, such
was the eXcitefent aboard the transplant
Crook just before she sailed for San
Francisco at noon today.
The police searched the ship for
stowaways and chased seven ashore.
One. wearing a soldiers uniform,
mingled with the crowd going aboard
and managed to get back aboard again.
marine, who has been in the brig
at the marine camp for five days on
bread and water for breach of dis
cipline, broke from the prison and
slowed away aboard the troopship and
it took all hands and the cook to
locate him.
And then came a woman to the
wharf, weeping Historically and de-
claring that her son, Willie De Mello,
was aboard and getting away. she
demanded that the ship be searched
and it was searched and no fifteen
year old male stowaway was found
much to the iadys anxiety, and
through her tears she watched the ship
go out, firmly believing he is aboard.

SIX MONTHS
AND $500

Man Pho, the Chinaman found
guilty of receiving postage stamps
which had been stolen from the post
office at Kaneohe, was sentenced to
six months in Jail and to pay a fine
of 500 by Judge Dole this morning
Deputy IT, S. Attorney Rawlins made
short statement asking for a heavy
sentence, in which he compared Man
Pho to procurer in that he had In
duced a young boy to steal the
stamps and give them to him in eX-
change for cakes. He went briefly into
this phase of the case.
In pronouncing the sentence Judge
Dole stated that the crime commit
ted was an insidious one in that the
receiver of the stolen property hid
behind the thief, who bore the brunt
of the blame, and used him as a cats
paw. Attorney Larnach made a short
but able plea for leniency for his
client.

SAINTS AND SINNERS
ON TRANSPORT CROOK

With the biggest bunch of carpet
baggers ever seen on a transport pass
ing here, the United States transport
Crook. Captain Williams, sailed to-
day for San Francisco after a stay in
port of five days.
There are more people on this
vessel who have no right to travel on
a transport, in proportion to the pas
sengers carried said an officer Of
the troopship this forenoon, than ever
graced a floating barracks.
I'VE have a gentleman from Ma
Mia who was newspaperman there,
who was on the verge of vagranCy and
was taken aboard through sympathy
and given soldiers transportation, If
convenient, and we made it conye-
nient, to get him to San Francisco
Two days out of Manila he borrow
ed boys cap and, when the lad ask
ed him to return it, he said that if he
gave back the cap people might think
he lent it to the boy, and so he kept
| it. To hear him talk you would think
he had all kinds of money and had
| been everywhere and Known every
body, but he was full of hot air.
Then we have lady travelling with
us who is not a relative of any Army
officer nor has she in any way been
| connected with the military, who Is
getting transportation home. Another
case of kindly human nature securing
passage.
In the steerage, among the soldiers,
are number of men, afflicted with
Fiipinitis and other troubles, mental
! and physical who could not get back
to Gods country any other way and
they are finding refuge in the Crook.
If there ever was a charity ship it is
this self-same Crook, even if she is
slow and don't get away on time
Aboard the Crook are several men
wearing large enameled buttons bear
