1 Creating your own system of
geometery is the latest scien
tific fad. Professor Kinslein
lins his own geoinctery and
works with it.
One of the new systems tells
you that the angles of a tri
angle are not necessarily efjual
to two right angles.
It. reminds you of the " gen
tleman s game"' of poker. Play
ers were nut asked to show
their hands. Mr. Kabibble, ask
ed how he came out, replied,
"How could I lose?"
Professor Kinstein' new the
ory calls forth th interesting
statement that "the energy re
lation between an electron and
its nucleus generates un helix
odial earner of energy. These
carriers travel without' riXirtT
motion. The transverse vibra
tion inlieHenti in these forces
cives rise to the phenomena of
light."
Perfectly simple. That's all
that happens when you light a
match.

The murder, he told officers, was
part of u suicide pact, hut that h"
ran away horrified alter shooting j
the Kiri. "iorgetting to kill myself." i
Since that time he has wandered:
aimlessly about the country haunt
ed hy the memory of his 16-year
old sweetheart.
Selhaver, police related, said
that while working for the ghTs
father lie became infatuated with
her. The suicide pact was jnade,
I ho wild, when tbe Klrl told him that
;sho was soon to become a mother.
I Shortly before the content plated
, double death, the girl suggested
I (hat. limy both drown themselves,
lie replied that a gun wan more
i certain. When he shot the girl he
became horrified at what lie had
'done, andafter a moment's irreso-1
lutlon fled. 1
Selhaver was held for Kingston (
i authorities. i
Known No Peace j
1 "Never since 1 killed her." he j
i said, "have I, known a moment's j
j peace till now. I wandered from
Kingston to Hocliesler, N. V., and j
from (hern to Simkanr, Wash., then
i hack to Pittsburgh, intending lo re
turn to Kingston and give myself
Up. Hut wtmu I ':ot lo Pittsburgh
I my nerve failed me and I started

; He suid he had been in Seattle
several months and from day to I
dHy lealized that he would go mud
if he did not surrender.
' "I am glrtd It is over," Hie con

Sarah Kilzaheth was the eldest
of lour children of Joseph A. John

iiiK was discharged by Johnson. f
The girl's body was found with j
