Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants
The Woman's Home Companion has
an article in which this passage &C.
ours: "The nuisance for the man who
has acquired great financial resources
usually is that he doesn't know what
he wants. Possessing the resources
aud feeling the moral necessity to
have recourse to them, he looks about
for something to want, and he selects
the most costly thing. The acquisi-
ton of this most costly thing always
involves, in practice, the separation
of the rich man from society. Thus,
he will acquire a large estate, or sew
eral large estates, and cut himself Off
from the world by gates, doors, miles
Of drive, lodgekeepers,> menials and
secretaries. Or he will acquire q
OOO-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic
privately, though less quickly, less
comfortably and even less privately
than ON great liner. Or he will keep
, private orchestra, instead of being
seen at concerts. All which, though
magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and
is secretly felt to be so by the rich
man when he happens to wake up in
the middle of the night and can't 60
| to sleep again"

FINS WRITTEN
in The SWOPE
MURDER CASE
Kansas City Judge Dis
misses Charge Against
DR.. B. Clark Hyde.

Kansas City, Mo-. Jan. 13.-"Finis"
was written to the story Of one Of the
most celebrated cases " alleged mur
der in the criminal records of Kansas
City today, when Judge L. E. Porter
field in the criminal court made Il
formal order ending the prosecution
Of DR.. 3. Clarke Hyde on the charge
of having murdered Colonel Charles
III. Swope.
The case HAD its beginnin" more
than seven years ago when Colonel
Swore. millionaire and philanthro-
rist, died under circumstances that
aroused the suspicion of the authGri-
ties The decease Of the aged mil
licnaire had followed closely on the
deaths of several members of his
family and the serious illness of other
who were closely related to him. The
official inquiry resulted in a verdict
that Colonel Ewore had died of pois-
oning.
A sensation was created when Dr..
B. Clark Hyde, the family physician
and son-in-law of Colonel Swope, was
arrested On charge OF having pos-
oned his father-in- law. The theory
of the prosecution, as set forth in the
several trials that followed, was that
DR.. Hyde had planned to murder the
aged millionaire in order that the ply.
sician's wife might come into immedi
ate possession of q part Of the Swope
fortune. 1t was also alleged at the
time that the plans OF the accused
physician were TO embrade the re-
,,,oval Of other heirs Of Colonel Swope
in order that the s!lara of Mrs, Hyde
''~ht be increased.
Three times was the young physi-
clan placed on trial under indictments;
charging him with the alleged murder
Of Colonel Swope. Tho first trial re-
suited in his conviction and sentence
to death. An appeal was taken and
new trial obtained. TIE second hear
ing resulted in a mistrial fOllowing
the mysterious disappearance of one
of the Jurors. At the third trial the
jury was unable to agree on YER
did, From time to time it was re-
ported that the celebrated case was
about to be tried for tie fourth time
but no official action looking to this
end was ever taken. It was said that
the Swope heirs had betrayed large
part of the cost Of the three trials
ems that when they declined to ad
vance further money the state decided
to drop the case rather than incur the
heavy expense of another trial on
what appeared to be =. small chIutf
of securing a conviction.

Water Hole Is Dry by Day.

A curious form of water-hOle is
found in the deserts Of western Aus
tralia. dry by day but yielding an
abundant supply of water by night.
The flow of water is preceded by
weird kissing and sounds of rushing
air. On examining one it was found
that the water supply occurred in a
long, narrow trench, at the bottom OF
which was q thin plate Of gneiss "a
species of rock arranged in layers,
separated by cavity from the main
rock mass beneath. Apparently the
heat of the day causes this plate to
expand in the form Of depression,
in which the water retreats. When 1t
cools and contracts at night 1t forces
first air and then water back into the
trench.

Destructive Shell Fish.

In the tropics rock-boring and wood
boring shell-fish are among the great
est natural agents Of destruction in
the shallow waters Of the sea. It was
not until the builders Of iron ships
launched the present navies Of peace
or war upon the deep that the hulls
Of vessels moored for any time in
harbor were safe from their attacks.
The shells of these molluscs are often
not at all obviously adapted for bor-
ing. Frequently they are very thin,
looking almost like hardened paper.
Yet they bore through teak or cak,
hardened clay, chalk rock and con-
crete breakwaters.
