life by taking poison, and that she
had frequently stated in the presence

of living" One Of the witnesses, it
was stated, could prove that she had
snatched bottle of poison from the

fore she finally succeeded in killing
herself.
Other witnesses, who the defense
wanted TO introduce, could prove, it
was claimed, the kind and upright life
which the defendant led while in
Nashville. 1t was also asserted that
the defense could prove that some life
insurance policies which were made
! ON the children were cancelled by
| Fudge shortly after coming to Pen
I sacola.
It was repeatedly asserted, by pers-
ons whose testimony the defendant
wanted to introduce, that the children
had been taught suicide, and that the
idea had been instilled into them by
Mrs. Fudge. 1t was stated that Mrs
Fudge had repeatedly told the child
rem to kill themselves if she died
rather than go into an orphanage
but to leave Bascom to torment his
father.

&c. &c. WATER FOUND m LAYERS
Lower Strata Contain Less Dissolved
Oxygen and This Has influence
on Fish Life.

Land animals breathe in oxygen with
the air. Fish get it, but less of it, of
course, dissolved in water. Messrs.
J. w. Sale and w. w. Skinner re-
ported in paper presented at a meet
ing of the American Chemical society
that the lower layers of certain tidal
waters contained less dissolved oxygen
than the upper layers.
They show this to be due to the
greater specific gravity of the under
layers compared to those above them.
In other words. the water is found
in strata, according to its weight, and
this prevents an up-and-down circula-
ton. When we recognize that the
oxygen Is also depleted by other
agencies there is sometimes found to
he very little of 1t In the lower layers.
The depletion Is greatest in Septem-
ber.
Tidal waves and storms bring
precipitates which with the depletion
of oxygen have a great influence on
fish life.

the linguistic branch of education Is
to fit each pupil with the ability tc
