TIE ROMA TRAGEDY.

Much remains to be determined in
regard to the destruction Of the dirigi-
bic Roma but It comes at time when
It Will also mean the direction Of stil1
greater attention to the wisdom of de-
voting turther efforts to the develop

over to THIS government and the Roma
Is now destroyed. Our experience with
such large airships has been limited but
In view Of the experience there may
well be consideration given to the ques-
ton a sto whether the rigid or semi rig
ID types warrant further expenditure
and experimentation.
Failure Of the rudder controls and
the unfortunate collision with high ten
sion wires are responsible for the large
loss OF life. The first without the sec
ond would probably not have caused
such a death list.
In this connection the need VI nor
inhammable gas for the imitation OF such
diriEibtes is quite as strongly empha-
sized as is the protective value Of stee
cars in ease Of a train wreck. In al
probability. according to the reports
there would have been no FIRE had tho
high tension wires not been encounter.

might have been faced with a different
outlook had the gasbag contained non.
explosive and non-innammable gas.

ed that 1t can be produced though a
considerable expense. It's lifting powel

FAMOUS TRIALS
THE TRIAL OF coURVoIsER

A trial that created an unusual
amount of excitement in England in
1870, was that of Francois Benjamin
Courvoiser for the murder of Lord
William Russell, a son of the Marquis
of Tavistock and Lady Elizabeth Keep
pei, daughter Of the second Earl of
AIbermarle. The family seems to have
been unusually unfortunate for Lord
Williams father was killed by a fall
from his horse and his mother died
of grief soon afterward, a martyr to
her affection for her deceased lord.
Courvoiser was native Of Switz-
erland, the sen of a farmer. At the
age of 20 he went to England where
for several years he acted as foot
man, and finally entered the service
Of Lord Russell where he was when,
on the morning Of May s, 1870, his
| Lordship was found murdered in his
| bed, under circumstances that led to
| the conaxnitta1 of Couryoiser on trial
| for the crime.

Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey on
the morning of Thursday, June II,

The reason is not that the convex
profile and the light coloring are less
important as measures of these traits
than the shape of the head, but sim
ply because in this particular case
they are not of such emphatic value
as the head shapes. The forehead that
slants back just a trifle, the slight
acquiline nose and the slightly slant
ing chin do not form a decided con-
vex profile. Neither do brown hair
and dark blue eyes constitute a de-

and state health officers? l would ask
her what proof or evirence she has that

The city health officer was certainly
awake to the situation: first. in detect

afterwards in giving his time and as
sistance toward investigating the source
