Moolen Company, was acquitted on
all counts by a jury today on the
charge of having conspired unlaw-
fully to plant dynamite in Lawrence

The jury disagreed on the first
four counts in the indictment against
Frederick p. AtteauX, wealthy dye
stuff manufacturer. but acquitted him
on the fifth count
Dennis j. Collins, the Cambridge
dog-fancier, was found guilty on the
first two counts, but was acquitted
on the other three.
II was just 10 o'clock when the
Jury filed in. There was a brief delay
while the clerk was sent for. Mean
while Wood, Atteaux and Collins took
seats behind the rail and at the order
OF the clerk arose and faced the Jury

And on through the entire list,
Wood was acquit ted on all five
counts. A disagreement was report
ed on the first four counts for At
teaux, and he was acquitted on the
fifth. Collins was convict on the
first two counts, for conspiring to
plant the dynamite only.

in the seats assigned to them as At
torney Harry f. Hurlburt. chief coun-
sci for Wood, arose and addressed
Judge Crosby.
After reviewing the charge that an
attempt had been made to hribe Jur-
or Shuman and that he was the at
torney responsible.

Sees Mother After
27=Yr. Separation

After a separation of q years. Edmund
Lemenin, aged 20, of Toronto has come
to Waterville to see his mother, MIS-.
Adolph Greenwood of Boutelle avenue.
When but lad of two years she was
obliged to leave him in a Western Cana
dian town near Lake Erie and was CALI
ed into the states. She settled in Maine
first in Augusta, then in Skowhegan and
then in Wateryile where She has made
her home the last Il years. Somehow
or other she became estranged from her
son and could not locate him. Through
the help of friends Lemenin discovered
that his mother was still alive and in
Waterville and set out to find her He
arrived here knowing only his mothers
name However he fould her and a grand
reunion it was to be sure. Besides his
mother he has five sisters in Watervlle
and Augusta, who had never seen him.
They are Mrs. Ina Quirion and Mrs Bel
line Giroux of Augusta. Mrs. Divine
King. Mrs. l.. Grenier and Mrs Mary
King of Waterville. The visitor was also
surprised to find he had a brother George
Lenemin. And now there is much re-
joicing.

Weather and Wireless.

1t is well known fact that the
night range of long distance wire
less station is often several times as
long as the day range. II is also a
matter of very common experience
that the day range and the night
range are both subject to wide varia-
tions from day to day or night to
night. Tests have recently been made
which Seem to show that wireless
messages can be transmitted over long
distances in cloudy and damp weather,
owing to atmospheric absorption.
1t is the opinion of the Electrical
World that there must be vast
quantity of data on hand bearing on
this problem. as every operator must
have noticed some connection between
nsmissivity and weather condi
tions, but the data are scattered and
not easily available. No serious at
tempt has been made this journal
says, to correlate the transmissivi.y
over long distances with the weather
conditions prevailing in the region
traversed by the waves. With tho
collection and correlation of more
data on radio TRANSMISSION and
meteorological conditions. doubtless
some of the vagaries of wireless ex-
perimentation will be arranged for.
and might even be put to practical use

SATURDAY BATHING.
A Custom the occident Borrowed
From the Orient.

Most barbarians. Judged by modern
standards, were anything but cleanly
in their personal habits. In England,
France and Germany hathing was an
almost unknown custom until after
the Crusades The pilgrims from the
east brought home with them ideas Of
the bath as help in the treatment OF
disease, and bathrooms were gradually
introduced into the hospitals. From
the hospitals the ideas of bathing
spread generally. People who hal
been treated there saw the value OF
keeping the body clean in order to re-
sist disease. The great plague thai
swept over Europe in the early years
of the fourteenth century helped t.
teach this lesson
BY the fifteenth century there way
scarcely a large city that did not pos
sess well patronized public bathing es-
Establishments although Il was not until
the seventeenth century that the
Turkish bath was introduced, and not
until the eighteenth century that sea
bathing, so common among the Ameri-
can Indians, was tried experiinentally.
Saturday was chosen as bathing
time and the reason Is not difficult to
imagine. On Sunday everybody was
compelled to go to church. whether he
would or not. AS the Moslem in the
east bathed before entering the
mosque so did the medieval man be-
fore entering his church. only he must
take his bath on Saturday afternoon
in order to be clean the following day.
There was even distribution of bath
money to the children whose parents
were unable to pay for their baths

Monsters as Omens.

From what has been said in preceding
articles, it will not appear surprising
that what are called monsters are
born from all sorts of living things
They are usually offsprings of unusual
and astonishing shape yet keeping with
in definite lines of symmetry and likeness
TO the parents, differing grotesquey from
the latter, yet agreeing with them in in
innate structure. The polarity. the bal
ance of parts shown in normal. healthy
individuals, is obviously operative, but
1t fails, and as it We're. blunders i'm its
work. Plants as well as animals exhibit
such monstrosites. All double flow
