Prosecution Outlines Case
In the Reyes Murder Trial

Dedham, Mass, Dec. 4.--Circum-
stantial evidence which will be over
whelmingly convincing is to be pro-
duced by the state in the trial of Miss
Harriet Varney, held for the murder
of Mrs. Pauline A. Keyes, wife of
George H. Keyes of Brookline, ac-
cording to a statement by Assistant
District Attorney William Kayne, who
outlined the case of the prosecution
to the jury today.
Mr.. Kayne intimated that it would
be shown that the defendant and
Keyes had been living together as
man and wife, and that Miss Varney
declared he failed to keep a promise
to marry her.

SCHOOL BOY ROBS
KAISER'S PALACE

Amsterdam, Dec. 2. (via London,
Dec. 3.)-As a result of the arrest
of the schoolboy burglar who robbed
the Kaiser's castle of Wilhelmshohe,
and further inquiries into the affair,
some Interesting details I have been
brought to light.
The youth, whose name is Karl
Walther, appears to have had
no accomp1ices, nor did he make off
with $4,000 worth of Kaiserly treas
ure at one haul, as reported. During
fortnight he broke into the palace,
though it was we'll guarded, no fewer
than eight times. He clambered over
a railing, then climbed by means OF
thick ivy to a window, through which
he gained entrance to the apartments
which the Kaiser's daughter occu-
pies when staying in the castle and
to the neighboring suite of the kais-
erin. That articles were missing was
not noticed by the servants.

Shrapf,el.

We're ths average layman able to
grasp the staggering complexities of
chemical and mechanical details In
volved in the making of a shrapnel
shell he would be amazed. For in
stance, one hundred and seventy
gauges are required to manufacture
the combination time and percussion
fuse for A-inch shrapnel. The powder
used laust have the correct burning
time or the explosion will occur too
soon or too late. It is impossible to
obtain two powders with the same
burning time, hence the burning time
has to be determined on each lot of
powder. This formally required one
and one-haIf hours; now it takes five
minutes. Likewise, the time consumed
in blending powders has been reduced
from 16 hours to Is minutes.-Popu

Use OF Masks In Printing.

Nearly all black-and-white photo
graphs that are not to be mounted Oh
white cards are most pleasing when
finished with white margins. White
margins are obtained by printing the
negative through the opening OF Opaque
paper. This mask is placed over the
negative in the printing frame and the
negative so adjusted that the part we
wish to print from will show through
the opening in the mask AS the open
Ing in the mask can be made Of any
size and shape desired, up to the full
size of the negative, we can print from
the whole Or any part of negative.
and as those parts of the negative
that arc covered ty the mask cannot
print, they will be white after the
print has been developed. By this
method we can make prints having
white margins Of any width we prefer

Humorine People Isn't Pleasant.


"Humoring man" sounds like
pleasant and comfortable thing, but
when one links humoring with the
question of who makes the money, it
does not seem very fattering to the
humorer or the humoree, says a writer
In the Woman's Home Companion.
And what q lamentable sight is that
of the humoree, what deep inequality
it implies and what an absence Of any
real respect Or understanding between
two people in whose lives humoring
is part Of the daily routine! When
the one to be humored is woman it
may mean that a man has been forced
into the craven part of doing anything
for the sake Of peace. There are few
concessions some men will not make
to avoid domestic storm. Some I'M
fortunate men there are who even
gire up vital friendships. legitimate
forms of recreation, and even their.
own iadividualities in this unworthy
caHSe.

Fresh Greens for The Canary.

Canar!es are vcfy fond of lettuce,
celery tops and other young and ten
der green's, as all birdlovers know.
When the birdman tells us we must
not give these things to our pets too
frequently the temptation to go con-
trary to advice is strong, for we sym
pathiZe keenly. An accident showed
me the way to crafty our pets without
harm to them, as experience has
proven. Some months since, little
birdseed was spilled on the earth In
large tub containing rubber plant.
Soon these seeds sprouted, and we hi
upon the idea of removing the bottom
from the cage and setting il over the
young sprouts. The Joy the canaries
found ii, their green's, AMI the conse-
luent discovery that the birds were
really gaining in health and song con-

Woodcocks In London.

Woodcocks, which during the past
few Days have been flushed "within
300 yards Of the Marble ARCH" are by
no means such rare vis:tants to Lon.
don as some ornithologists seem to
imagine, says the London Chronicle.
They have from time to time been no
.iced in almost every park or "open
space" that contains sheltering shrubs,
and occasionally during very hard win
tiers or their periods of migration,
they have found temporary refuge
even in the little derelict churchyards
of the city. At the beginning Of the
last century the boys of Westminster
school used TO get good woodcock
shooting among the wilds of Chelsea
and Battersea. Most of those young
sportsmen took preliminary lessons
from learned professor who lived
near Deans yard and styled himself
instructor of young gentlemen in the
new Nrt CT shooting flying"

Fatigue Caused b" Acid Accumulation

The cause of muscular fatigue was
one of the subjects to be explained by
the candidates before the Medical
Council of Canada at it's last examina-
ton. Halliburton's Physiology, which
Is quoted as the authority, says mus
cular fatigue is "due to the eonsump'
ton of substances available for the
supply of energy in the muscle, but
more particularly to the accumulation
of waste products of contraction. OF
these sarcolactic acid is an important
one. Fatigue may be artidcially in
duced in muscle by feeding it with
weak solution of Tactic acid, and then
removed by washing out the muscle
with salt solution containing u minute
trace of alkali. If the muscle is left to
itself in the body the blood stream
washes away the accumulation Of acid
products and fatigue passes off.

LEAGUES PLAN FOR
CONVENTION HALTED

Bismarck, Jan. 9.-The plans
of the Non-Parisan League for
the holding of an immediate con-
stitutional convention have been
thwarted, for the present at
least. A bitter fight is evident
over the question, as the result
of a bill Introduced in the senate
yesterday by Senator NJ. L. Nc
Bride of Dickinson providing for
the election of delegates at a
special election next November
and the holding of the conven-
tion in July, 1918.
As a justification for their
plan to call a constitutional con-
vention without confirmation of
the electorate, league leaders
contend that the election Of Gov
ernor Fraqier was itself suffici-
ent evidence of approval.

PLEADS GUILTY TO
PiGGING CHARGE

1ver Johnson, mention of
whose arrest under the new
blind pigging law. in our issue
OF last week, appeared before
Justice Lowden on Wednesday
and entered a plea of guilty as
charged. He will be taken be-
fore Judge Crawford at Dickin-
son, where re will again enter
this plea and receive his SEN
tence. Sheriff Norem is hold
ing the prisoner here in hopes
that Judge Crawford will come
to Bowman to hear some other
matters, and that the prisoner
may then be sentenced without
going to the expense of making
a trip to Dickinson. II is too
bad that some of the real boot
leggers that infest the country
are not caught and sent over the
road. Johnson's crime consisted
in ordering a shipment of liquor
with two of his friends and hav-
ing it come in his name. This,
of course is violation Of the
new law, Of which this man was
entirely ignorant. While John
son may take a little too much
booze at times, he is known in
this country as a good worker
and makes no attempt at making
a living by bootlegging. Bow

NOON DAY LUNCHES
COMMENCE MONDAY

The MONDAY lunches at the
Commercial Club rooms were
commenced on Monday of this
week and will continue each
week during the next several
months. These lunches are for
the purpose of getting the club
members together to talk over
matters pertaining to the well
fare of he community. In the
past some very interesting and
beneficial matters have come to
the attention of the members by
this method.
The more important matters
that will be taken up this year
will be he question of sewage
which the Herald discussed in
an editorial last week, and the
proposition of organizing a corn
club. While little was done with
these matters at the Monday
meeting, it is probable that they
vii be discussed at length at fu-
ture lunches. Sewage is neces-
sary to the health of the people
of the city and the corn club will
serve to stimulate the raising of
corn by the farmers.
Every club member should
make it point to be present at
these noon day lunches and come
prepared to express their views
on the different questions that
will come up. While the social
side of the Commercial Club, in
itself. makes it worth while to
attend the lunches, the business
par of the meetings makes it inn
perative that all who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the city
and surrounding counry should
attend.
