TESTIMONY SHOWS
HAMS IRRATIONAL
Evidence Shows That Captain Hams
Did Not Speak on Way to
Police Station After
Shooting

FLUSHING. L. l., May 5.-This was
Hypothetical" day at the Hams trial.
For nearly two hours the jury lis
tened to the reading of the hypothet-
ieal questions propounded by the de-
Tense, on which three alienists are to
predicate their opinions of the mental
condition of Capt. Peter G. Hams when
he killed w. e. Annis.
When court opened for today's SEES
sion in the trial of Capt. Peter G.
Hams, jr., Policeman Baker, who ar
rested the defendant at Bayside, fol-
lowing the shooting of Annis, testified
Contradicting testimony of Roberts
witness said the defendant did not
speak on the trip to the police station
and did not say, as Roberts testified
that he had used a 45-caliber Colt au-
tomato and showed the policeman the
holster under his coat in which he
carried it.
Policeman Baker testified the APP
nearanee and conduct of Capt. Hams
on the day of the shooting was ira
tional
stated that Captain Hams answered
all questions at the police station IN
an apparently rational manner.
Charles Weaver said he had known
Captain Hams since 1896.
August Is he met Captain Hams and
his brother, Thornton, at the entrance
of the Brooklyn bridge on that day
'HThornton Hams began to talk about
a house at Bayside, and I told him l
would go down with him and look
at it,"
The witness described the captains
appearance at the tine as irrational.
The hypothetical question on which
the defenses alienists win base their
opinions of the defendants mental con-
dition at the time he shot Annis was
read. The reading consumed an hour
and 1--WE minutes.

NOT A MATTER OF INSTINCT
Experiments Have Proved That the Duck Does Not Naturally Take
 to the Water.

It has turned out, under the searching experimentation of recent years, that much that we have SUD- posed to be instinct in animals is not instinct at all, writes F. T. Brewster, in McClure's. For eX- ample, the young duck proves to have no instinctive impulse to enter the water; does not recognize the element by sight; is, in short, in precisely the same situation as q chick-until, by happy chance, it gets its legs wet. Wet legs. how ever, and the lift of the water on the body at once start up the swim ming reaction; and away sails the duckling, as chicks and children do not.
 The chick, on its part, has a def mite instinct to peck at any small object that catches its eye. Tha' takes care of its feeding. But the chick has no corresponding instinct to drink, and would die of thirst be- fore it would recognize water by sight alone. Drinking it has to learn for itself, by picking at dewdrops, or spots of light on the surface of the water, or particles at the bottom of its cup. Even the hen, contrary to general belief, proves to have no instinctive fear of the water for her offspring. A hen that has raised a few broods of ducks and seen them take to the water becomes highly distressed when subsequent hatch of chickens do not swim. In fact, hens have been reported, under these circumstances, to lead their chicks to the waterside and push them in-

IN THE ORIOLES NEST.

Mrs. John Holcomb of Douglass was sewing on her machine a few days ago and had just threaded the needle from new spool, when she was called from the house. Upon returning she found the thread all gone, and for the life of her could not tell what had become of it. A little later in the yard she found the strand reaching up into the trees, where an oriole was weaving it into its nest. The bird had flown into the window, unthreaded the ma- chine, unwound the 200 yards of thread and it used it all in its nest vesving.-Kansas City Star.

HOW SHE WAS DRESSED.

"Funny how you women dress, gr,mbled the old bachelor. "Dresses so tight they look like you couldn't afford enough goods, and hats yard wide. Toes of your shoes absurdly short and heels outrageously high. No collars, but pounds of extra hair. Dresses short and corsets long. You even put the covering in the wrong place. I saw woman in the car the other day wearing dress low enough in the neck to be suitable for the opera and her face was cov- cred with a veil so thick couldn't distinguish her features.
 "That was me-" said the woman. T saw you rubbering."

NO BANKRUPTCY AT THIS RATE.

There are 20,000,000 acres of pine garden forest standing in Prus- sia to-day. Half of it belongs to the people in common, either 10 the state or to the village. It paid 10 years ago an average profit of 80 cents an acre per year. To-day it pays $1.65 an acre. In 20 years, when it is more mature, it will pay three dol lars an acre, net profit, and, in ad- dition to its protective value, will return, from the common forest alone, an income of $30,00O,O00 a year to the people, It furnishes all the frewood and small lumber of Prussia, paper stock and other in- valuable materials, besides protect ing the streams and holding down and improving the land.-John l.. Mathews, in Everybody's.

BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That HabtualIy Does So, Ae-
 cording to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as I know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the flamingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem.
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superfluous. The germ, or bud, must be there, for the Dorking fowl has produced a fifth toe under some in- fluence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four.
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls, one is turned backward, and by a cunning contrivance the act of bend- ing the leg draws then all auto- matically together. So hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as If it grasped something and of course when it settles down on its roost they grasp that tight and hold 1t fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an sncum- brance, so many of them, like the plovers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

Keep Baby
 Healthy; Free

No child can be we'll and strong unless it's bowels move regularly every day at the same hour. Such regularity promotes good health. One passage is absolutely necessary, while two are not too many.
 There is one remedy that is especially adapted to the needs of children, and which thousands of American mothers are using today, and that is pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, the great herb laxative gripping, it's tonic effects. and its perfect purity, youched for to the United States Government, makes it an ideal children's g laxative tonic.
 Mrs. M. F. Cash. of Webb. Okla, is an old-time friend of this wonderful child s keep house without it. She became ac- Quainted with it through Dr. Caldwell s offer of a free trial bottle. which she found so effective on her baby that she K L.. Stout. of Louisville. Ky.s also first used 1t in a free sample. then bought tt of her druggist at the regular price. which Is only 50 cents or $1 a bottle. 1t gave her little girl a splendid appetite and Syrup Pepsin once finds it's way into the home 1t makes a lifelong friend. They soon discard salts. pills and powders. Those who have never yet used pr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should begin to do 50, for they are missing a valuable household friend.
