"Yes.- answered Brokaw. we wanted to mix ginger ale with aerated water until it was the exact color of champagne. I wished to appear to drink with my guests and yet not to drink. This mixture bubbled eand yet was harmless. I have used it for years. do not drink"
 Mir. Brokaw did not recall any scene after an incident at table when a guest had changed his wife's glass, so that she got real champagne and not the imitation. If Mrs. Brokaw drank champagne, she was the only one who knew it," he testified.
 Quarrel With Father-in-Law.
 Shown list of objectionable names which Mrs. Brokaw said her husband applied to her when angry. Mrs- Bro- kaw scrutinized them through his lorgnette and said: "Of course I do not use such language"
 Mir. Mcintyre arrived at the time when Brokaw and his father-in-law quarreled. My wife and I had gone to bed very late testified Brokaw, @and were still asleep at eight o'clock in the morning when MT. Blair called us. You children will have to get up earlier MT. Blair called, and added: When you come downstairs want to have talk with you personality"
 It was during this talk, MT. Brokaw testified, that Mir. Blair threatened to kill him. He repeated his wife's com ment when he recounted the conver- sation to her and explained that when she asked what the quarrel was about he told her Mir. Blair objected to his loving her so much"
 "Poison Night" Story.
 Tell US what happened on the so- called poison night" directed MT. Mo- Intyre.
 con that night" compiled the wit ness. T had the Marquis Hermosa and others to dinner. Mrs. Brokaw did not come down. After dinner I went to her room and knocked. She did not answer. Then I said: Mary, I want to come in She did not answer. Fi- nal1y I pushed in the door. She was furious. I told her I only wanted to kiss her goodnight, and left.
 When I came upstairs again. Mrs. Brokaw was not in her room. I could not find her and got nurse to help me hunt. After a search the nurse called to me from a room at one end of the hall. got there just in time to see the nurse struggling to take something out of Mrs. Brokaw's mouth. It was some kind of white tablet. screamed, MY GOu. sHS ucdu. to Did you do anything to cause her to take poison?''
 Absolutely nothing"
 From the fact that Mrs. Brokaw's counsel for the first time brought a complete set of the minutes of the trial records-which they have hitherto said their client could not afford-it is in ferred that Brokaw will undergo rig orous cross examination when court convenes tomorrow.

SCIENCE NOTES.

Moving pictures of the flight of in- sects have been made with exposures of 1-42, 900 second. Another photogra- pher has made a kinematographic study of the action of weapons and projectiles. employing for illumination electric sparks of a duration of one- ten millionth of second, and obtain ed pictures of 400 successive phases of the firing mechanism of an auto- matic pistol, although the entire op- eration occupied only about one-tenth of. second.
 Arrangements will shortly be made by the Austrian government for the public sale of radium for medical and experimental purposes. The total quantity of radium which has been thus far recovered for scientific use throughout the world is estimated not to exceed quarter of a pound.
 After about eighty shots the rifling of the present twelve-inch gun of 2,50O foot-seconds velocity becomes so badly worn as to destroy the accuracy. Tn the case of the new fourteen-inch gun the erosion is much less and the gun will be serviceable for about 300 dis charges.

POET WILLIAM WATSON
 INSANE IN HAVANA.
His Wife is Unaware of Her Husbands
 Mental Condition.

New York, Dec. 23.-Robinson Wat son, in statement telegraphed to New York from Montreal, today reiterates that his brother, William Watson, the English poet, now in Havana, is in sane, though the poets wife, who is with him, is unaware of her husband's s mental condition. Mrs. Watson cabled from Havana yesterday that Robinson WEtsons message to the world Is a wicked attempt to ruin my husband" The brother replies today as follows: Tt Is not surprising that Mrs. William Watson has cabIed an angry message. There will probably be worse to come, and stiu worse. until she fully appre- hends the whole truth. A sad feature of the situation is that she has been ignorant of tlle4events of 1892.
 When the long statement about the Asquiths compelled me to recognize clearly what others were beginning to perceive. l immediately went to New York and, finding my worse fears con- firmed, endeavored during four consec- utive days to get an opportunity of speaking alone with Mrs. Watson, but no such opportunity could be obtained and I left without having given her the slightest intimation.'

Nov York, Dec. 23.-w. Gould Bro- lsS5s, v<1ose wife is suing him for sep ars<bon with alimony of s60, 900 year. took tGe stand in his own defense today and swore in the court room at Mineola, L. l., that his father-in-l law, Joseph A. Blair threatened to kill him because he loved her too much. When he told Mrs. Brokaw of this threat, she laughed and said: Don't mind father, Billy: he's crazy"
 Hrokaw a Good Witness.
 Mir. Brokaw described the night when his wife took poison. His law yer led him carefully over the two years of their married life, with pains taking attention to the charges of drunkenness. cruelty and abusive lan- guage brought against him in the tes- timony of his wife. Brokaw made a good witness. His attitude was easy and his answers were firm. Occas- ionally he peered through a lorgnette fin examining papers submitted to him. Mrs. Brokaw was ashy pale and muf- fled in furs. She tossed her head scornfuIly when her husbands testi- mony contradicted her own and she coughed constantly with a nervous 1it- tie hack. A heavy black widows veil fell from her fur hat over the upper half of her pale forehead.
 Was Never Drunk in His Life.
 Brokaw swore that he never was drunk in his life. 'The times when Mrs. Brokaw said was drunk" he testified, my face was flushed from a long walk or drive"
 He never struck his wife. q never struck anyone in my life.' he swore. Mrs. Brokaw knows I could not harm her. There never was a night when I could get into her room that I did not kiss her goodnight.
 T never lock the doors of my house. never carry guns or revolyers," he continued.
 Forced to Call Her a Liar.
 He admitted that he called his wife @ liar. Yes" he said, T called her a liar, but not until she had called me q d-d liar. had been out and when I came back, bringing her flow CTS. she accused me of meeting some woman. I denied it. She said I lied and I had to tell her the same"
 The long series of denials extended into montony. Did you forbid your wife to make eyes at Jimmie Martin ?" Is an example of the form of counsel's questions. T did not" was the in- variable answer.
 Never Saw Her Drink Cocktails.
 Aff1rmatively, however there was more variety in the testimony. Bro~ kmw swore that his wife smoked cig- mFettes before their marriage and that Rhe promised him to stop it. He never saw her drink cocktails. but he un- derstood from the servants that cock tails were taken to her room on the sly.
 twill you tell the court of your drinking agreement with your wife ?'' asked John F. Mcintyre, his counsel.

In early September at Annootok the
sun dips considerably under the north
crn horizon. There is no night. At
sunset and at sunrise storm clouds
hide the bursts of color which are the
glory of twilight, and the electric after
glow is generally lost in the dull gray
which bespeaks the torment of the
storms of the setting sun.
The gloom Of the coming winter
night now thickens. The splendor Of
the summer day has gone. A day Of
six months and a night of six months
are often ascribed to the polar regions
as whole, but this is only true OF n
very small area about the mole.
AS we come south the sun slips un-
der the horizon for an ever increasing
part of each twenty-four hours. Pre-
ceding and following the night as we
come from the pole there is period
of day and night which lengthens with
the descent of latitude.
1t is this period which enables US to
