McNamara, alleged dynamit er, Is on trial for bis life, Is considered by his colleagues to bo a fair and con scientious jurist. Tho superior court of Los Angeles county comprises twelve departments, and tho trial is being held In department nine, to which Judgo Bordwell is assigned. On Oct 1, 1010, tho building of thu Los Angeles Times was destroyed by an explosion, causing tho loss of twenty-one lives. Following the ex plosion General Ilarrison Grey Otis, the proprietor, charged that tho labor unions were responsible for tho wreck Theso accusations were Indignantly denied by organized labor. Tho mys tery was still unsolved when Detec tive William J. Burns, who worked up the San Francisco graft matters, was put upon the case. The result of his labors was made known early last April, when John J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of tho International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers; his brother, James. B.. and Ortlo E. McManlgal were arrest ed. The trial promises to be eveu more sensational than that of Moyer.

Edison was explaining to u reporter tho part played by Mr. Branly, the new French academician, In tho discovery of wireless telegraphy. Tho poor reporter, a little bewilder ed by nil tho talk about nertzlan waves, transmitters, volts, ohms nnd so forth, ventured on a question that made Mr. Edison smile. "That question," ho said, "reminds me of the city father who rose nnd mild: "'Mr. Chairman, I'd llko to know, for my constituents' benefit, whether lhi3 hero proposed hydraulic pump is to bo run by steam or electricity.' " Vlttsburg Gazette-Times. ELECTRICALLY STERILIZED WATER FOR THE ARMY. New Sclentifio Mothod to Kill Off Germs In Philippines. Drinking water for tho nrmy will be sterilized by electricity as a result of experiments made by the tropical board of the medical corps. Like many other valuable discoveries of ar my medical oflleors, this latest system of treating drinking water may be adopted in civil life. Drlnkiug water, it seems, can bo purllled more cheaply by electricity than by tho universal method of boiling. At tho same tluip the "live" taste or drinking water 'will be retained. All tho microbes ana death dealing nnl malculae, according to the report of tho tropical board, can bo dispatched by a single flash of tho rays from an electric bulb. Theso rays are known technically ns "ultra violet" rays. The board has been experimenting i In tho Philippines with ultra violet rays for more than a year. In tho is- lands more soldiers have been killed by impure drinking water than by Filipino bullets. It has been found al most Impossible to induce tho soldiers . to boll their drinking wntcr, and they too otten nave preferred to take chnnces of Impurities of the surface water In the islands rather than drink the flat, boiled liquid. Tho work of producing ultra violet rays will bo a very simple one nt the posts, most of which have electrical plants. For troops in the field it Is proposed to furnish a small gasoline engine to run n miniature electric plant. It is not the heat from the electric bulb that kills the germs, but tho ultra violet rays. WANT SAME FAVOR AS CANADA Norway and Sweden Ask Us to Admit Pulp and Paper Free. Norway and Sweden, through their diplomatic representatives, havo re quested the United States to grant to them under the favored nations clause of their treaties tho same privileges given to Cnnada by section 2 of the reciprocity agreement, by which wood pulp and print paper are admitted free of duty into tho United States. Sever al other countries, including Germany, It is believed, havo asked tho same privilege from the United States. Those requests place formally beforo the state department the question of whether wood pulp and print paper can be admitted free from other coun tries than Canada under tho favored nation clauses In the existing treaties between the United States and those countries. Officers of the state depart ment are in consultation on tho subject with officers of the customs service of tho treasury department, and a final decision will not bo made until these conferences have been concluded. Under section 2 of tho Canadian reciprocity agreement print paper and wood pulp were given free entry to the United States. This section of the bill became effective on July 1 last, inde pendent of tho passage of tho law by congress, and Its operation was not dependant upon ratification of tho reci procity agreement by Cannda. BEES' GET-RICH-QUICK OFFER They'll Make 150 Per Cent on Your Money In the West. Profits of about 150 per cent a year can be made in the bee industry on some of the government's reclamation projects of tho west, according to offi cials of the reclamation service. "Tho average price of bees In the west," said C. J. Blanchard, statisti cian of the service, "is probably about $5 a hive. The manager of a large apiary on one of the irrigated tracts gives the average production of his hives at seventy-six pounds of sur plus honey per annum. At 10 cents a pound tho returns would be $7.C0. In addition to that, the increase averages 100 per cent a year, doubling the orig inal investment and making a total of 1G0 per cent profit each year on the original investment. "Beports indicate that tho quality of tho honey raised on some of our gov ernment projects is excellent," con tinued Mr. Blanchard. "Many bee farmers havo located In fruit sections, and the combination Is found to be mutually advantageous. Tho trees furnish an abundance of honey during tho blossoming period, and orchard men state that the economic Impor tance of tho bee from tho standpoint of its value in tho pollenlzation of fruit cannot bo overestimated." IN AID OF ARBITRATION. Citizens' National Committee Plans Country Wide Mass Meetings. To arouse public sentiment in favor of the arbitration treaties between the United States and Great Britain and France, now pending beforo the United States senate, a nation -wide campaign, with public meetings in about thirty of tho leading cities of the country, has been planned. A citizens' national committee, con sisting of about 300 prominent men of tho country, with headquarters in New York, is behind tho movement, and it is the purpose to havo all of these meetings occur between Nov. 15 and tho middle of January. Whero local speakers are not available it is the in tention of the general committee to send speakers of national reputation to any of the cities that may desire them. Tho cities In which meetings are to bo held include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, AVashlngton, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Chicago, Rr. I.mils. !an Francisco and Seattle. SOME NOVEL EFFECTS. Decorations For Thanksgiving Day. rhoto by A:r.erican Press Association PUMPKIN CEHTKKPIECD OF 0RAF3 PAPER For a thing of apparently so stolid a nnture the pumpkin lends itself to an astonishing number of decorative effects. Inventive hostesses nro con stantly finding now uses for It at Thanksgiving festivities. One young married woman used a middle sized specimen last year as a foundation for n lovely centerpiece for her table. Thero wero fifteen guests. These nnd her husband nnd herself made seventeen nt table. She cut seventeen tiny holes in tho pumpkin nnd In each holo stuck a long stemmed yellow chrysanthemum, pushing It In so that the flower rested on tho pumpkin rind. Tho centerpiece looked like an im mense fluffy chrysanthemum and was much admired. If fewer flowers are to be used a small pumpkin should bo chosen. Very novel nnd effective is tho pumpkin centerpiece seen In tho illus tration. Crape paper and artificial au tumn leaves nro the materials em ployed. A wooden standard not unlike tiioso used for holding Christmas trees is the base from which arises a pole, reaching from the center of tho table to the chandelier, twined with leaves and small pumpkins. A huge specimen of tho golden hued vegetable Is fastened to tho top of the polo and acts as a shade over the center light. When an electric bulb is used the ef fect is charming.

Do You Know Content is not tho result of getting what you deslro; it is realizing that you never will get it and giving up worrying. It is a lack of a proper senso of hu mor that inspires oven tho most repre hensible men to bellovo that they aro good people to glvo advice. Many a girl thinks that a man la in lovo with her when he has merely de cided that he wants a homo of his own in which ho can bo us disagree able ns he pleases. Because you deprecate tho vanity of others is not absolute proof that you can't swallow a good doso of flattery yourself. Instead of -worrying about how to manage a husband, the wlso woman keeps him busy managing her. Tho man who can feel downcast about the utate of tho country isn't the one who bothers much about tho welfare of bis own family, and vice versa. Milton and His Wife.
