Great was her indignation when she was served with a warrant sworn by Mrs. McLaughlin charging cruelty to animals. "This," cried Mrs. McLaughlin to a Deerfield Justice of the Peace last week, "is the most inhumane case that ever came to my attention...
...ablest baseballers who ever lived, famed Tyrus Raymond ("Ty") Cobb is now one of the world's richest retired athletes.

This turned out to be an extremely sensitive detector for atoms of metal in water. If the metal atoms are jostled around by stirring the water, they will soon strike the underside of the film, adhere to it. The film is skimmed from the water, allowed to contract. If it contains no metal, when viewed by polarized light it will give a double refraction effect in handsome colors. But if there were only...
