LOVE LETTERS OPEN UP INVESTIGATION Stenographer's Admirer Believed to Be Her Murderer.

(National News Association) DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 1. Love letter written to Miss Florence Brown opened a new line of investigation today in the most puzzling murder in the history of Texas. The letters were guarded by the police and the identity of the girl's admirer was not revealed. The body of the murdered stenographer was buried today. A half holiday was declared in most of the stores. Chief of Police Ryan detailed every available officer for duty at the funeral, where he expected the murderer would be present. The perron who murdered the girl has less than the normal number of teeth. Impressions of the mark on Miss Brown's arm showed that they were made by teeth pet In a strong jaw and that one tooth was missing.

A FAMOUS OLD HOAX.

Keely's Motor, With Which He Baffled Scientists For Year, The story of the Keely motor hoax will live long. Its interest will be enhanced by the preservation in the Franklin instil (He of the model of the remarkable motor that Keely built to deceive intending investors and enrich its inventor until the fraud was exposed after Keeiy's death. For twenty five years Keely astounded eminent scientists of Europe and America with the machine that heclaimed had solved the secret of perpetual motion. The inventor of this machine would start his device going, apparently, by playing a tune on a mouth organ. He convinced many clever men that he told the truth, and stock in the new concern sold freely. To the day of his death Keely declared that his discovery was a genuine one, and it was only when the houre in which the machine was placed was thoroughly overhauled that the colossal fraud was discovered. Keely had wired the walls of the building. He ran his machine by high pressure hydraulic power. When the wires attached to the machine were the subject of investigation Keely would file them to show that they were solid and could not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were attached. Pieces of wire thus filed are to be seen at the Franklin institute.. The broken pieces show that the wires were hollow and that the inventor of (he wonderful motor carefully stopped his filing short of perforating the center, which would have exposed the fraud.- Scientific American.

FORMATION OF COAL.

Conditions on Our Planet While tha Process Developed. What may be said to be the straugest period through which our earth has passed is the one that was resiontdble for the formation of coal. The planet is described as having been at that time flat and smooth as to surface and peculiar as to vegetation. The continents were just beginning to rise ubove the ocean and the land had not jet become dry. Mountain ranges had not arisen from the swamps, aud the atmosphere was thick with fog. In this state of affairs there sprouted and flourished the plants which were later to furnish the world with its coal suppry. These plants grew as big as our largest trees, taking deep root in the morass and flourishing like the lush grasses in moist meadow land and developed into the strange shapes now found In tropic vegetation. The forest looked, the scientists assure us. like dense growths of weeds, rushes and enormous ferns. Rome of them grew in the shape of cacti, having spines all over them. This kind of vegetation was very rich In carbon, which it dtrived from the warm, moist atmosphere. Then the millions of years colled by. the forest; of giant weeds were buried by deposits of earthyT material and the chemical change took place which slowly changed them Into coal. This process ceased with the carboniferous age, so that when the present supply of coal is dug out of the ground there will be no more. Exchange.
