Mr. Carnegie, in explaining why ne IN

Notwithstanding that the practical val

slight. human curiosity about the universe
cannot be qnenched. StudiouS and pa

gazing into tie heavens through the most
powerful glasses that the available money
can buy, and making note OF what they
see.
The Mount Wilson Observatory IS de-

physics may be Of immense practical val

corning the stupendouS disturbances that

known a few years ago. rhe new tel
escope may reveal the nature OF the re-
lation of those spots TO the weather on
the earth and to the magnetic storms
which cause the aurora borealiS.
The new telescope will also doubtless
be used for a study OF the stars, and will
enable the observer TO penetrate farther
into the abyss of the heavens than science
has yet reached. Not until the remoteSt
attainable depths OF Infinite space are
reached by the human eye will the hu-
man mind be content with what it knows.

"Billy Jones" responded a weak
voice from below. "Baby has swallow

Hospital, Fairmont, w. Va, from brok-
en- heart. Since his arrest March 5 for
carrying a revolver he has not tasted

them. He had borrowed gun, fearing
bad treatment, he said, and was ignorant

His family did not arrive and when he
returned to A ,nabelle, where he had been
working, he was arrested and given six

would rather die than have his wife find
him in Jail. His recovery IS not expected.

This was the conclusion reached by

were found by the mother OF the sirl.

less than thirty hours before the time

One OF the points brought out was that
May Elosser. one OF Grace's sisters. after
helping their mother carry Graces body
from the parlor TO a bed In a room in
the rear, had herself been seized with
Illness which showed symptoms OF pois-
oning by hydrocyanic acid. No connec-
ton between this and the deaths OF the
others was made apparent By the ques-
tioning OF the witnesses.
There was abundant testimony that ey-
aminations OF the bodies by medical men
and chemists showed that cyanide of po-
tassium caused the deaths of Twisg and
brought Into the house ls a mystery. All
members OF the Elosser family declared
that no evidence had been removed or

CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS IN
ALMOST TOTAL DARKNESS
WrcckInq Of Power Plant Results In
Injury of Three and Immense
Property Damage.

MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. 6.-An explosion
and fire that almost destroyed the plant
of the General Electric company early
this morning, injuring three men, caus.
ing an estimated loss of si50.00O. tonight
left the city practically in darkness.
4 few of the main office buildings got
light and power for elevators from the
street railway company until II O'Clock.
but after that as is the custom, all
power was turned off. Street lamps were
dark and all save the main section OF
the city was entirely without light al
night:
The General Electric company has 900
mon at work making connections, so the
company's power plant at Taylors Falls
can be utilized, The power from this
plant has always been distributed
through the main plant In Minneapolis.
but the wrecking OF the latter prevents
this,
The three men injured Will recover.
The escape of the eleven men from the
building after the explosion is a source
OF continued wondermcnt- On their way
TO mill race. through which most of
them escaped. they were compelled to pick
their way through mass OF charged,
tangled wires. with gaseous flames burn
ing all around them, and bricks and
parts OF the building tumbling down on
all sides.
Fearing that the darkness OF the city
may induce lawlessncss, the entire po-
lice and detective force Is held In re-
serve with waiting automobiles.
