II the volume Of a gas increas-
ed 1878 part Of its volume, or
again I.274 part, no law concern
ing it could be formulated.
Again, certain facts Of science
ate of little value when taken
alone; but in conjunction with
other facts they form series of
observations which, expressed IN
la .suage, fr a statement OF iacts,
may h> woven together to form a
c,rrect argument. Thus a dehn-
ite conclusion or proof may be es-
tablished.
Such methods we see applied in
geometry.
The greater the number O. facts
involved, the greater the care ne
cessary; for if one out OF several
be insuficiently established, the
whole system is weak. A faulty
argument also vitiates the con-
clusion.
We have so far dealt with de-
monstrable.
This is hypothesis not capable
OF proof, but one the truth or
falsehood OF which must rest on
the weight OF accumulating evil
dence. An assumption which cx-
plains an occurrence or phenom-
enon is called a working hypo-
thesis. No progress in Science
could be made without such. In
deed, it forms large part Of the
speculative sciences, such as eco
nonlics, psychology, ethics.
First Of all in these cases, an ac-
emulation of facts suggests a
theory of hypothesis which we
hope some time to dignity as a
law. 1t is then the business of
the scientist to accumulate facts
in support Of the theory of hypo-
thesis, and to leave it open to at
tack, or even to attack it himself /;
for the honest scientist cannot be
prejudiced in favor of a theory.
Otherwise he is not true to his
self-made VOWS to be an earnest
seeker after truth. Honesty of
purpose is part of the Scientific
Method.
1t must be understood, however,
that facts, those within the range
of direct observation. Beyond
this there is a good deal that is
what we call speculative, or theor-
etical. Certain phenomena, cer-
tain facts, or group of facts cam
not be sufficiently explained ex-
cept by assuming something.
Thus, Chemistry assumes the ex-
lstence OF molecules and atoms.
tor no one has ever seen either.
We know they exist, because we
can define their properties; but
certain things regarding them
must be established gradually, as
a greater number of facts are ga
thered to their support.
Such an assumption is called a
hypothesis or a theory.
The close relationship of plants
and animals, the wide variation in
their characters, and their suscep-
tlbllity to change lead us to be-
lleve that different plants and ami
mails are evolved one from the
other, or free from some remote
ancestor.

High School Victors

The Birmingham high school eleven de- feated the Howard Reserves in brilliant one sided affair by the score of 2 to 0 yesterday afternoon at the West End park. The Howard Reserves outweighed the Highs but they were thoroughly out- elassed in every respect by the Highs under Coach Courleux.
 From the start to the finish the school boys were in the game with nerve and skill The Highs made several line plunses for 10 and b feet and had no trouble whatever in going around the Ministers. ends. Several beautiful runs were made and the Ministers succeeded in gaining possession of the pigskin but twice during the entire game and then had to kicl, to keep the hefty Highs from gaining the ball on three downs.
 The highs employed new system in passing the ball to the runners. Tn this manner the quarterback is entirely abol- ished The center snaps the ball to the man who is to make the run and shen with quick plunge or run the sprinter goes through the line This worked very nicely during the contest and the Highs men fumbled but two times, and recov- cred the ball upon one of these "fizzles." ." The Highs are the only high school or It was introduced by the new coach.

COTTON MOTHS AGAIN
Dr. Kinds Makes Good on His Pre-
 diction That They Would Come

Auburn. October 12.-(SpeeiaL L)-In the cotton fields of Alabama the cot
 ton worm moth is again fitting. Dr. w. E. Hinds, state entomologist, vouch :
 safed the prediction some time ago that at this time the third crop of moths would appear. He made good on 1t,
 as he has on all of his predictions regarding Alabama crop pests. The moth represents the stage of
 development reached by the pest fol-
 lowing its appearance as larva or caterpillar. It. like the caterpillar, sub .
 sists only in cotton. Because of extreme
 dryness little green cotton Is left in
 Alabama for the nourishmcnt of the pest.
 A remarkable instance of the vitality
 and strength of the cotton worm cater pillar is revealed in the fact that pr. minds has received, within the last few days, specimens of the insect taken in the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio and
 Eliza beth, N. j.. to which place they
 native to the two localities as the cot- ton fields are their only home. The specimens were taken by men who had been in the south as repre- sentatives for insecticide compa nies. studying the cotton caterpillar and it's various forms and susceptibflities. The fact that the moth is present
 in cotton is of no significance, but IT. is of interest to farmers who naturally may have some curiosity to see the deadly pest in another form.

CITY |S bESIECED BY GREAT CROWDS Hotels Crowded, Many Sleep in Streets, Others Want
 in Jail

Never before have we had such an out of town crowd to attend the Ialr, said most of the hotel proprietors yester- day. They state that every available room in the hotels is being occupied ana hundreds have been turned away. one of the managers of prominent hotel stated that he had had as many demands for accommodations during this present week as he had during the Confederate reunion. In some cases, they state, rooms that are meant to accommodate two are accommodating three and four, while cots are being placed in some of the halls.
 People are even asking to stay in jail. The police state that although they do not keep what may be termed tlrs. class hotel, several have made applica- ton to be allowed to place a cot in jail and spend the night in that manner.
 While no definite estimate could be ob- tained it is thought that several hundred people have slept out of doors during the last few days on account of not beine able to secure a place to stay. The po- lice who are on the night beats state thai a large number of wanderers question them in the early hours of the mornins as to where accommodations can be se- cured.
 The hotel people say that larger number still will be present in the city today and tomorrow to attend the fair. They declare, also, that few of the visi- tors are leaving but are remaining in the city to attend the fair and to see the sights of the city.

SAVES LIFE OF
 ANN|STON NEGRO
Gov. O'Neal COmmutes Sen tence on the Eve of Kirk
 patrick's Execution

Montgomery. October 12.-(SpeeiaL)- The good fortune of having himself saved from the gallows 12 hours before he was to have been executed has fallen upon Tom Kirkpatrick, a negro of Calhoun county, who was to have been hanged Friday, October B. for the killing of 8 negro of that community. His sentence las been commuted to life by Gov. Elm. met O'Neal upon solicitation of all the jurors who tried the case, and at the request of court officials of Anniston The negro's previous good character was a chief argument in his behalf. The com mutation of sentence is the second that Governor O'Neal has granted since he became chief executive of Alabama. Last week the governor saved the life of George I.ige of Gadsden. who was like wise to have been hanged for murder.
 In committing Kirkpatricks sentence, the governor said:
 "In this case the board of pardons has recommended that the sentence be com- mutcd to tlfe Imprisonment. All the members of the jury who tried the case recommended the eommutaton.' The evi- dence also shows that the deceased was man of desperate character, having formerly served a sentence of five years for assault with intent to murder. The defendant is shown to have been man of good character, peaceful and law abid- ing prior to this difficulty. A number or the witnesses for the state have stated that the defendant was man of less than ordinary intelligence, and at the time of the homicide was evidently in state of great nervous excitement and apparent fear of the deceased. This is also shown by the fact as stated by the only white witness for the state that all most all the shots were extraordinarily wild. one of them going into the ground at least 20 feet wide of the mark TO use the language of the witness: Tom was terribly frightened at the time he did the shooting. There was no evidence of any previous bad feeling, and the homicide followed a scuffling match which had just occurred previous to the killing. Many of the best people who live in the community where the negroes live and where the difficulty took place have pe- titioned for this communication. The only white witness for the state testified that owing to the poor light he could not say whether the deceased had anything in his hand or not at the time of the homicide, but the defendant claimed that he did have and that he shot him in self de- fense. Taking everything into considera- tion it seems to me that the death pen altv is too severe and the sentence should be. commuted to Imprisonment in the pen itentiary for the term of his natural life. I therefore commute said sentence to life imprisonment"
