 Every person who has helped to build my work has been villified by womsn who is either hopelessly in- sane CT q designing friend. When 1 made discovery in the electrical basis of life. which three lllegibie words) years later"
 The detective said Mcconnell had ampllfed his confession by declar- ing he shot his wife because ''she was always making me believe i was insane. Sine vilIffed me to difforeat people and has run my character down. :"
 Mcconnell vas locked Up on q charge Of falonious assault Mcdonnell gave his age SIS IT years and said he lived in Chicago :.

ZEN. REYES
 SURRENDERS
BROKEN IN SPIRIT AND IN FOR TUNE THE AGED WARRIOR
 GIVES UP
Says He Has Called in Vain to the People of Mexico to Flock to Him and Overthrow Gov
 Government of Madero.

Linares, Mex, Dec. 25. With none of his arrogance left, General Der nardo Reyes, once considered the greatest of his country's military men tonight is huddled in a char in the little room that serves as the Headquarters Of the towns small gar liscn, and admits his defeat.
 Riding alone into the town today the gray haired rebel voluntarily sur rendered to Lieutenant Placido Rod riguez, commander of twenty-five ru- rales, then the sole military guard Permission was secured to telegraph a formally capitulation to General Geronimo Treyino, commander of the third military zone at Monterey; and and to Trevino, long regarded as Reyes personal foe, he frankly ad- mitted that his dream of another sue cessful revolution had come to an end, and placed himself at his dis position.
 'I called upon the army, called upon tine people, telegraphed the broken general, "and no one respond ed This attitude q regard as pro- test and I am resolved not to con tinue this war against the govern ment. place myself at your dlsposi- tion."
 Reyes asked for himself no guar antees, but pleaded for mercy for the little group of men who have follow ed him in his wanderings to aad fro throughout large area in this state and in the state of Tamaulipas. He requested consideration for them. They yet are fugtives and will be hrGted down by Trevnos men un less. they too surrender voluntarily.
 To Reyes message, Treyino replied that General Reyes would be kept under guard in Linares pending n- structions from Central Goyernmet,
 That he will be taken to the city to answer for his offease is con sidered by Reyistas the natural re- suit of his surrender.
 His attempt to save his few fol- lowers was refused by Trevino who telegraphed 10 Reyes that he had no authority to relax his campaign.
 No ene was more surprised by the surrender Of Reyes than the little garrison to whom he appeared.
 Yesterday Luis Salinas, command CT of small band of volunteers en- gaged in the chase, surprised a group Of not more than ten or twelve men riding along the Concho river, run ming east from Burgess. Only few miles from the scene of the fight was Reyes.
 The conflict was brief said the com mander in reporting.
 Like rabits the rebels fled, says the report in all directions. Two or three horses and quantity of am intuition fell into the hands of the government troops, but no one was killed. 1t appears the isurgent band never reunited and that General Reyes. humiliated at seeing what was in effect Ihis personal guard forced to flee at the first exchange of shots and realizing that none had rushed to his support, rode to Linares and surrendered.
 Reyes was Aot surrounded and might have kept up flight for many days but without the army he had so confidently expected to recruit. the humiliating finish was almost ineyis able.

POCKETS IN THE AIR
Theory of Air Men That There Are
Holes In the Atmosphere Not
Sustained By Experts.
(From the New York Times

J. rom the New lOTk tliltS.J
An assumption that there exists in |
the atmosphere certain 'holes" or,
as they are more often called, "pock-
cts" serves as a convenient eXplana-
lion OF such accidents to aviators as
the one that brought Mars to the
ground with such disastrous conse-
1uences on Friday. This idea, II II
did rot originate with Kipling. at
least gained general acceptance from
his story of the Night Mail, in which
It was skillfully exploited, and there
IS no doubt that in a way it provides
in explanation for phenomena often
observed by passengers OF balloons as
we'll as OF aeroplanes.
The way, however, is much such
4 way as that in which the old theory
OF mlasma from swamps or newly
! turned ground explained malaria and
| Justified tho old fears of night air
We know now, Of course, that night
.ir is just as good as day air--whtch
is fortunate, since at night we have
no other--and we would also know,
if we stopped to think, that the aer-
ial ocean is far less likely TO have
holes or pockets, in it, than Is the
ocean OF water, which doesn't havt
them and couldn't. What both oil
these oceans do have are currents
motions of their particles in all di
rcctions under the influence OF var
ious differences OF pressure-and al
| air is vastly more mobile than water
the effect Of like influences on II Il
the production Of greater and mor'
complex motions.
The complexity of these move
ments well shown by the erratic
flight of q piece OF paper thrown int
