THE rRrAL or MISS LIE BLANC.

The lie Blanc murder trial IN Cam
bridge, Mass, yesterday was a long
distance duel by legal meth ods between
the youthful defendant, Hattie lie
Blanc, and Mrs. Lillian Glover, the
widow OF the Waltham laundryman.
The defense directed all its shaft at the
widow in marshaliDg its witnesses and
evidence, while the prosecution sought
to turn them in the direction OF the
little Cape Breton servant girl.
Nearly a dozen men and women,
who knew the Glover family and Hattie
moro or less intimately, were on the
witness stand yesterday. Their testl-
mony tended to show that Glover was
persistent in his attentions to women;
that his wife became 50 angry on many
occasions that she was heard to say
more than once that she would like to
kill him, and that she applied indecent
eplthets to her husband.
Thomas J. Coffey, formerly clerk
in a Boston sporting goods house, who
sold the revolver that was used in ihe
shooting, said that woman bought it,
but when Hattie LIE Blanc was led past
him he said she was not the woman.
When cross-examined by District At.
torney Higgins, Coffey said that he at
tended the Glover will hearing and loos =
ed at woman who was pointed out 10
him as Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glover. he
could not identify her as the person 10
whom he sold the revolver, inasmuch
as she was veiled at that time.
Mrs. Alma NJ Roche, said that she
heard Mrs. Glover say eight years ago
that she would like to kill her husband.
That Hattie lie Blanc will not take
the stand in her own behalf was an
nounced yesterday hy her leading
counsel, Mr.. Johnson.
The couro was then given testimony
OF an unpriutabIe nature The women
in the room--and there were many OF
them-covered their faces, but few, if
any, LETT their seats. This was when j..
Harold Gardner, who was employed in
Glover's laundry for seven years, testi-
fed about conversations he had with
Mrs. Glover previous to her husband s
death.
Gardner told of indecent epithets that
Mrs. Glover applied to her husband
when speaking Of him TO the witness,
and he said that Mrs. Glover told him
that Glover was keeping company with
other women.
On one occasion Mrs. Glover, point
ing to Hattie, who stood nearby, said;
There is a girl that will fix him."
Mr.. Higgins cross-examined Gardner.
He denied ever having done anything
wrong with Hattie. Asked il Mrs.
Glover had bad reputation he said
that he did not know He added that
she had a terrible foul mouth, and
called every one by their right name. "
The last witness of the day, Mrs.
Alma NJ. Roche, of Someryille, who
was employed at the Glover home about
eight years ago, was asked il she ever
heard Mrs. Glover say anything about
her husband. She said she did not
Ecare to repeat it, as it was very vulgar.
Witness said that once she heard Mrs.
Glover say that she would kill her hus'
band.

THE cIIILDREN's MUSEUM.

In BROOKLYN they have established
children's museum. in both the adult
md the Juvenile portions of the popu-
lation.
This museum aims to employ objects
attractive and interesting to children
and at the same time helpful 10
teachers, In every branch of nature
study: to secure an Arrangement y. AZ
once pleasing to the eye and expressive
OF Fundamental truth: to avoid con-
fusion from the use of too many
specimens and the consequent crowd
Ing in cases: to label with brief de-
scriptions expressed in simple Lam
guage and printed in clear, readable
type.
Groups of animals. insects or birds
that children read about are placed
where they will attract attention. Liv-
ing animals and plants are kept In
many of the rooms.
The most attractive room to the
younger children is the history room,
where charts. implements and dolls
represent scenes and types. Geography
is Represented by miniature homes of
primitive and other people.
Tho library contains about 5000
volumes. This is a careful selection Of
the best recent books on natural his
tory in its broadcast sense. and Is not
confined to children's books. 1t aims
to provide books of reference for the
museum staff, to furnish Information
to visitors, about specimens, models. or
pictures in the museum, and to offer
carefully chosen books on almost all
the subjects of school work
Those who are old enough to re-,
call the educational Importance of the
early Dcseret Museum under the able
supervision OF the scientist, Mr.. Bar
foot, will readily understand what the
Brooklyn museum for children must
mean to the cause OF education In that
city
Cheap picture shows can be COM
bated more successfully By interesting
the people in the natural curosities
and products than by trying to keep

VENTILATION.

AS the cold weather approaches. the
public buildings will be warmed and
the windows closed How shall these
buildings be ventilated as we'll as
heated?
Ny an article on the Ventilation of a
Library Mr.. r, c. Taggart shows
that no vcntilating equipment should
be designed whose efficiency will be
decreased by the opening Of windows.
An idea has gone forth that windows
cannot be opened without interfering
with the operation of the rcntilnting
equipment. This is an error and is
caused by mistaken judgment or an
Incorrect design Of the ventilating
apparatus.
First class ventilation Is entirely
possible in well filed rooms without
fans, but that ventilation without fans

PRICES IN BRIrAIN.

According to tho London Economist,
there hns recently been n marked rise
In the prices Of most commodities dur
Only a few articles show lower prices
while the majority Of the list from the
manufacturing Industries and also the
food stuffs indicate steady apprecia-
ton III sale values.
Several items show decrease in
price Thus Cleveland pig iron per
ton In 1907 was sii.11 In London and
In 1910 it Is sll9S--a decrease So tin
went down from S7sS,oo to $4,000 per
ton during tho same period. Oats,
quoted Mt $3.50 per quarter in 1897 is
now at ss.95: tea fell from 11& to 9A
cents per pound: southdown wool from
81 to "a cents; Manila hemp declined
from slso,59 to slo2.2o per ton. and jute
from $500 to $500: petroleum de-
clined from Is .33 to HE cents per gall
Ion: Goals went down from $685. to
$3.50 per ton; copper from s3Ss.2i to

:63. 81: wheat from $40 to 1888 per
quarter: superior beef from 50 to 81
cents for eight pounds: mutton from
$3.50 TO sl.3i for eight pounds.
The articles that advanced in price
during these three years were chiefly
steel rails, which rose from s32S5 to
$1,000 per ton: barley from s6.14 to

1t Is also interesting to note that In
the first nlnc months of the present
year the money publicly raised from
English investors has reached the
enormous sum OF si,O55.Ooo,o oO That
Journal adds:
ut must be understood that this fig
i,re represents not nominal capital, but
nctua capital received, and that only
those preparedness are taken into ac-
count which are publicly advertised.
Private issues arc neglected and the
large amount OF capital raised by pri-
vatc and local negotiations have no
place in this calculation, This record
OF capitalistlc enterprises goes ahead
of any figure previously recorded for
the. full twelve months Of previous
years
In the first nine months Of this year
the great borrowers OF British money
have been foreign railways, a total OF
over scO0.00O,000 having been raised on
their account, chiefly on the bonds of
american railroads. Second in size are
the British government borrowings
which amounted to sl20,OOOooo. and CO.
lonial government loans, Slla,00o.0o0
while foreign government loans
amounted to s7.eOo,O0o. AS to destina-
ton OF capital BY country, s3SI00O,0OO
went to British possessions and $751;
100000 to the United states. The arti-
Gle concludes with this statement:
.'ln the next few years we may cX-
pect to find Canada, the United States.
and Argentina all competing for big
supplies of English capital to carry on
and develop their railroad systems"
