MURDER OF LONDON BOY
REMAINS DEEP MYSTERY
His Father Took Particularly
Courageous Part in Chas-
ing Man in Homicide Case.
INV cable 10 The Tribune

London. Jan. 1O.-A blank wall meets
all inquiries into the amazing mystery
: of the curly headed boy. Willie Starch
field. who was murdered in a North
London Railway. train on Thursday
afternoon. No motive and no clew
seem to be discoverable.
From the swarming life of one Of the
busiest parts OF London the criminal
appeared and vanished. leaving no
shadow Of a trace, and the police are
driven to the theory that it was a
madman's crime, illogical and purpose
less. and therefore the hardest of all to
bring home TO its author.
Attention is drawn TO the fact that

escaped from a large asylum near Lon
don recently and is still at large, but
no idea is entertained that this par
ticuar man is in any way connected
with the crime.
Mysterious murders are, of course, 10
be found in almost every chapter OF
London's criminal annals but some
time has passed since public attention
has been arrested To such an extent
by a crime as it has been by the MUIR
der of little Starchfield. There are sew
eral reasons for this, and one of them
is the fact that the boys father is John

Substitutes for DAYLIGHT.

AS a substitute for the ordinary
glass lamp-globe, there has been in
troduced in Germany a globe made OF
thin, translucent marble.
The light produced from this globe
is declared by experts to be almost
the exact counterpart Of daylight. An
other German novelty in illumination
consists of a screen coated with an
aluminium powder which, when placed
before a light, transmits glare ex-
actly like daylight, by means of which
even colors can be judged with perfect
accuracy.
Should these German discoveries
prove to be all that has been claimed
for them, they will doubtless be uni
versally adopted. Artificial light that
is perfect substitute for daylight is
what the world has been waiting for.
