To See the Wind.

With the aid of an ordinary hand.
saw this seeming impossibility may,
to certain extent, be achieved.
Wait for an exceptionally breezy
day, and then hold your handsaw at
right angles to the wind. That is to
say, II the wind is blowing north,
hold the saw pointing east and west.
With its teeth uppermost, the saw
should be tipped slowly away from
the wind at an angle of about As de-
grees. By glancing along the edge
OF the teeth you are able to see the
wind. 1t is pouring over the edge
much after the manner of water over
waterfall
In all probability this effect is
caused BY the tiny PARTICLES in the
dust-iaden ali falling over the edge
of the saw This is just about as near
as you can arrive at seeing the wind

 The state then introduced two state ments which, it was claimed, were made by Roe at Poughkeepsie in the presence of Officer Hurley, Chief of Police McCabe and Jai1er Ravens. In substance, the statements were in line with testimony already given by State Officers Wheeler and Hurley. The latter asked the accused what he knew about the murder at Barkhamsted, the prisoner replying that he knew noth- ing.
 In the statements Roe told of his visit to Winsted, his meeting with Williams, their visit to the Wakefield cottage where he said he took one or two articles while Williams took a re- volver, and of the later visit to Paef- fin.
 Roe, according to officer Hurley, ,ad- nitted that the last time he was in Winsted he went out in the country with Williams to a store. He remain ed outside while Williams went into the store and later came out with SIG or SIP. Hurley said he asked Roe where he stood. Roe replied that he stood on guard beside a shed not far from the store.
 What would you have done if any one came a,long?" asked Officer Hur- ley.
 ''I would have shot him. he said ed in evidence a postcard written by Roe from Winsted to his mother in Poughkeepsie. It read:
