The Jixlgo presided In a dignified and Impartial manner, while the bailiff ami were kept busy looking after witnesses and other busings of the courtroom. Lula Rice, as attorney for the defense, made a strong plea for her client, and scored a number of points during the trial. Her remarks during the progress of the case were forceful and surcharged with satire.

Miss Clara Aenchbacher, attorney for the plaintiff, proved herself capable of taking care of her Client's Interests, so convincing were her arguments that the Jury returned a verdict to favor of her fair client alter being absent from the courtroom about fifteen minutes. The solicitor' general, Willie Thompson, was continually on Ms feat during the trial evidently determined that the case of one state vs. Johnson should not lack of Interest.

The defendant, James Johnson, affected the manners of the gay deceiver very cleverly and, looked tine part to perfection. The fair witnesses were pretty and bashful, as became them, and delivered their testimony In a way that left no doubt In the minds of the jurors aa to the guilt of the defendant. While the Jury was out framing the verdict, Allen Latimer, a very small boy, and one of the bright pupils of the fifth grade, read several original poems that were heartily applauded by the audience.

HUNTER'S SCHOOL 70S BOYS. The greatest event of this week was the mock trial which originated on Friday, and was carried out on One same day. It was a variation from the monotony of the semimonthly debate, and was therefore welcomed with great enthusiasm by the boys. Professor Hunter readily gave his consent, as he sees the great benefit such trials are to the boys. Short time was given to get things In readiness, but the diligence of the pupils overcame every obstacle.

Gwln Lipes, the great Inventor, was elected Judge Hall, attorney for the prosecution; Mitchell, attorney for the prisoner, and Hulsey was. appointed clerk. The prisoner was Glenn; Boyles was appointed sheriff and Leonard bailiff. Frye was Che name of the murdered man. The witnesses for the defense, Wallace.

Brooks, Hlghtower and Faith, testified that Frye borrowed a nickel from Glenn, and on Glenn asking Frye on the next dayto return It Frye denied having borrowed II. That a quarrel ensued, and Frye hit Glenn wish his fist, and that Glenn hit back, whereupon Frye wounded Glenn In 'the arm with hia knife, and Glenn then pulled out Ms knife and stabbed who fell to the ground dead. The witnesses for the prosecution, Mals by, L'Engle and Parrot, said that Frye and Glenn quarreled for a while, and upon Frye's hitting Glenn a light blow, Glenn subbed Frye. killing hiss. Cress questions elicited the testimony two before that lime Glenn killed a man la lndiaiisgpBfc, and killed another six months later In Dallas, Tex.

Then, all the testimony being ended, the attorneys for both sides spoke eloquently, one to convict and the other to save the prisoner. Mitchell, for the derense, spoke with great effect for his client, and pictured vividly the grief of the prisoner's mother, the rascality of the opposing lawyer, and RBBIE HARWELL, First Honor Pupil of the Second Grade Boulevard Sdhool for the Entire First Term and Promoted to the Third Grade at the Seml Annual Promotions. the vengeance of the Nemesis who the unjust punishment of an innocent man. Mr. tried in every known manner to move with pity the hearts of the Jurymen.

He showed the punishment in the after world of the Jurymen who recklessly an Innocent man to the gallows, and he pictured the punishment In Hades of the Judge who sentences this man to die. Mr. Hall, the opposing lawyer, came next. He showed that the statements of the witnesses for the defense did not coincide. He ridiculed the arguments of the defense, showed the Incongruity of a weeping mother and a vicious son; showed that the witnesses for the defense were Irresponsible, and that the other attorney was trying to defame Mr.

Hall's reputation. With the most poignant satire he annihilated the opposing evidence, and set the court to laughing uproarously. After the Judge had delivered his charge, the Jury retired, and was wrapped in peace when suddenly the news came that the prisoner had escaped. Mr. Glenn, the prisoner, bad showed his nerve, and while the bailiff and sheriff were absent he deliberately left the court Two policemen and the bailiff hastened after him, and soon a hard fight commenced.

The two policemen were killed outright ana the bailiff badly hut he at last recaptured the The' court then adjourned.

I understand tfhe authorities Intend ax Why Glass Housed Hold Heat "It is very curious," said the old pro feasor of physics, "to see how many market gardnsrs there are who raise things under glass, make money out of the process and yet dp not why their heating frames and their, hot houses remain hot inside. (Now, as a matter of fact, the beat mechanism of a hot house depends on a well known proposition In physics.

It to part of the wave theory of light and heat. I suppose you. are acquainted with the fact that the energy from the sun fay in the form of little waves. The energy does not come down to us In straight lines; It comes, as it were, In a algsag mannsr, dancing from side to side as It comes along. If these waves ere very short, light to the result; if they are a trifle longer, they take the form of heat If the light waves strike anything on the way down, they are very apt to be longer, or rather they are apt to he turned Into heat Now, the waves which form light are so short that they will readily pass through glass, but the wavsw form heat are so long that they will not pass through.

"From this, therefore, yeu may see why a hot house remains hot. The energy from the sun passes Into the house through the glass roof In the form of light. Then It the objects In house end to (turned Into heat But this heat cannot 'pass out through the The hegt waves are too long. So the light keeps coming In and the heat keeps accumulating, and soon the hot houses become very warm Indeed, even In the coldest days to winter. Why.
