workshop in New Jersey for ten

certed to learn that nobody at
the works could inform them of
the inventors whereabouts.
The invisible ship was the in
vention OF the electrical wizard,
and now word comes that the in
ventor has made himself invisible
on an invisible ship riding on the
waves somewhere on the Atlantic.
His vacation has comprised the
usual hard work, for he Is per-
fecting his invention. There Is

burg. Quebec, a French-Canadian
Jury, by mistake, found George Benja-
min guilty of the murder of Joseph
Pellerin, a fourteen-year-old boy,

him of Granddaughter.

Hackett had sentenced Benjamin to
be hanged that 1t dawned on the Jury
men that a mistake had been made.
Then II was made clear to the court
that the jury had overlooked adding
the qualifying word 'inYoluntaIre"
to the verdict, which would have car
ried the conviction as one OF man
