Then why are you trying to

Just to see what you'd say. Just
to see how dead set against investi-

do. he'll be sure to blat right out

boose."
"Oh, you're welcome to what yo1
think said the district attorney.
But just for the sake of argument,
how do you know hat Slike didn't
kill Tuckleton?
Because the initiated butcher
knife Slike took with him from Miss
Walton's was still on him when he
was caught"
There must have been two
knives!"
There were two knives, but only
one belonged to Miss Walton. Rale,
you gave out that Miss Walton
herself had killed Tuckleton because
you had planned ahead that she was
the one you were going to hang the
murder on. And why did you have
it planned ahead? Because you
killed Tuckleton YOURSELF"
The district attorney sat perfectly
still. His eyes stole toward the bed

matter with Jack Murray? Why
didn't he shoot?

last summer ana II lasted for several
months. This had the effect of fur
ther encouraging the establishment
of new spinning concerns. On ac-
count of the interim boom the spin
ners abolished the restriction agree
ment from December last, with the
result that the output since that
month has been steadily increasing
In February last, however, reaction
set in and the depression began in
real earnest. The stock, rice. cotton
yarn and other merchandise markets
began to slump in quick succession,
While the amount of specie kept in
Japan rapidly decreased owing to
the large volume of imports ordered
during the interim boom last year.
The domestic consumption OF cotton
yarn has greatly decreased as may
be inferred from the partial or total
stoppage of work in almost all the
weaving districts In the opinion of
those who are well informed with the
condition the prevailing depression
will last at least for a year or two
and the demand for piece goods con-
sequently will be, less.
During March and April last the
export of yarn to China was conf
paratively active-about 10000 bales
NGI0 tADOI leu each DuL S1DpG
the outbreak of hostilities the export
to China has declined to a negligible
quantity Even should the export to
China remain on the 10000 bale level,
that would not be a very influential
factor in the face of the fact that
the monthly output of cotton yarn
is returned at something like 100000
bales. 1t is true that part of the yarn
produced is consumed by the spin
ming companies themselves for the
manufacture of cotton cloths for ex-
port, but as the export of cotton
is as inactive as that of cotton yarn
they will not be prepared to go on
with the manufacture of cotton cloths
that cannot be sold. According W
statistics 90 per cent of yarn is pro-
duced in the country and the re-
naming 40 per cent is exported, but
owing to the falling off in the domes-
tic demand it is feared that the mar
ket will inevitably suffer from over
supply.
Moreover, the rapid development
of the spinning industry in China in
recent years, coupled with the keen
competition of British, American and
German goods. and the proposed rails
ing of the tariff of China and India
are considered further factors likely
to bring about a crisis of the spin
ming industry in Japan"

the period of rotation is large as
compared to our day. They are not
accurate enough to she that the
period of rotation is 225 days, equal

AS for The reported observation of
markings upon the planet. which are
said to rotate in 225 days, this OBJ
servation can only be regarded with
the greatest doubtfulness, is Dr.
Abbot's conclusion.
He notes that spectroscopic studies
by the scientist st. John tend to
throw doubt OH the existence of
water vapor in the atmosphere of
Venus. His observations have shown
few, If any water lines in the spec
trum of the planet. II this were
so, and the clouds are not water
clouds, habitability of Venus would
be an improbability. DIR. Abbot says
1t is difficult, however, he states. to
understand the high reflecting power
if clouds are absent.
DR.. Abbot believes. however. that
the absence of water lines in the
spectrum of ST. John. is the result of

the light being reflected from the
clouds back to earth, through such
thin envelope of water vapor as to
render invisible the water vapor
lines. This possibility comedies both
views, and further experiments are
to be conducted this summer TO that
end
If the clouds on Venus are water
clouds then, DIR. Abbot concludes,
conditions of temperature and mois-
ture on Venus are very similar to
those upon this earth, and our sis
ter planet lacks no essential to habit
ability.

bors Are Thought To

Of Supporting Life

WASHINGTON, June 24-While
there may be many worlds-millions
of them-populated by beings and
cultured by civilizations the planet
Venus. according to DR.. c. G. Abbott,
assistant secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution, is the only one
known to scientists whose conditions
most nearly approximate those un-
der which life thrives.
Writing in the annual report of
the Institution, just made public,
Dr. Abto ot, While he does not declare
Venus to be inhabited, rejects the
possibility of other nearby planets
holding intelligent life.
DIR. Abbot does cite, however, the
chance that there may be any num-
through the most powerful telescope
on which there may thrive some sort
of life.
Other Systems Near Ours
AS is well known, the scientist
states, stars are suns like our own,
and just as. Old Sol has his retinue of
satellites, of which one, at least, is
inhabited so many the distant ones
have one or more populous followers
However, most of these are so far
from us, he says, that it is hardly
conceivable telescopes will ever be so
perfected as to detect their systems
il they have them, or decide whether
or not such bodies do exist.
The probability is that they do
So" DIR. Abbot states, land in such
immense numbers that among them
there may well be many suitable for
abodes of intelligent life This sub
ject, of course, opens the door wide
for speculation, but this field lies so
far from the realms of certainty that
it is not my purpose to enter upon 1t
here
The moon, he continues, is known
to be a waterless, airless, mountain
Gus desert. There is no probability
whatever that intelligent life can be
there. No living things, scarcely even
the hardest chemical compound, can
exist upon the sun because of the
intense heat. Water. if it could
reach the sun as steam, would be in
stantly separated into its component
gases, oxygen and hydrogen.
OF the suns outer planets, Nep
tune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter
are considered to be composed of
gases of slight density. The theory
of life on these would be reflected for
that reason alone. Their tempera-
lures, however, also would render
them unfit for life: that of Neptune
being estimated at minus 400 de-
grees Fahrenheit, Uranus, minus $50
degrees Saturn, minus 800, and
Jupiter. minus 270. Moreover, their
density is another factor; the dem

TOXIC, June 24-Cotton spinning,

in Japan, is threatened with serious
crisis, according TO the Diamond" a
Toxic commercial newspaper. THE
rdustrv enjoyed an unprecedented
prosperity during the war boom and
all the spinning companies reaped
enormous profits and some of them
paid dividends as high as 20 to 100
per cent" says this newspaper.
This not unnaturally drew the at
tention of capitalists with the result
hat old concerns enlarged their man
ufacturing capacity and a number of
new factories were started. When
he panic occurred in 1920 the market
suffered from an over supply of cot-
ton yarn and the spinners were
obliged to curtail the output by mu-
tual agreement so as TO prevent a
further slump of the market. Owing
