The light giving bugs have attract! ed the attention of scientists from I ( ! very early times, says a New York s l dispatch. During recent years much t : careful and more or less elaborate 1 investigation of them has been car- : ried on by highly trained naturalists < and chemists. i Thev have been dissected under < the microscope and in the test tube, 1 domesticated and studied alive, X- : rayed, ultra-violet-rayed, heated with ] electricity and nearly every common chemical substance. Their light- i giving parts have been dried and 1 preserved, and revivified after sev- 1 eral years; their light itself analyzed with both spectroscope and photo- ] meter. In fact, pretty nearly every < possible angle of approach has been ; tried in the effort to unlock tbe secret of producing light without 1 heat. 1 '< For the fire fiv's light is so much 1 more economical than anything lum- < inous man has been able to devise j < r that an artificial lamp only 5(f per j 1 cent, as efficient would (if properly < handled commercially) place its in- < veritor in the same class as the pres- i ent Standard Oil magnates. But after all this work, with our wonderful modern methods and instruments ? ' and brains?the puzzle still remains. 1 The fire fiv as a light giver is '< nearly 100 per cent, efficient?to be ( exact, 92 per cent, according to re- > cent tests on "Photuris Pennsylvanica." The best that man has been 1 able to do in light-making efficiency ' is something less than 5 per cent. It is worth nothing in this connec- ^ tion, however, that a paper on the mechanism of physological light by Prof. R. Dubois, of the University of : Lyons, was presented to the recent 1 i chemical congress in New York, in 1 which it was claimed that some of : the most puzzling chemical problems of the fire fly had already been solved.

"They are grumblers, as a matter of course, but grumbling, after all, hurts no ane, and is, moreover, a safety valve af some value.

Carlton, the deputy sheriff who was sent to St Paut, Minn, two weeks ago to identify and to take into custody Ellie Gardner, alias Walter Peters, an escaped convict from the Barnwell Cdunty chain gang, returned yesterday without his prisoner. Mr. Carlton obtained the proper requisition papers, but the negro employed a lawyer, who instituted habeas corpus procedings and succeeded in convincing the Court that it was a case of [mistaken identity in spite of the fact that Mr. Carlton swore to the negro's identity as Ellie' Gardner. This negro was convicted in Barnwell County ten years ago upon the charge of arson and grand larceny and sentenced to ten years on the county chain gang, and after nearly one year's service made his escape. A few weeks ago Bill Gardner, his brother, was arrested for carbreaking and a communication from one Walter Peters was found in his possession, which aroused the suspicion that the name "Walter meters was me alias of Ellie Gardner, and by this clue the authorities here traced the suspect to St Paul, Minn. This is the second trip to St Paiil that has been made to get possession of the prisoner, Sheriff J. B. Morris having made the first trip and found that Gardner refused to return to South Carolina without requisition procedings. The Sheriff returned, pending the proceedings, and later sent his deputy with the result as stated above. It was at Baldoc, near Allendale, ten years ago that the crime of which Gardner was convicted was committed, Mr. J. L. Ellis being the unfortunate loser, his gin house, with twenty bales of cotton, being consumed. Those concerned in the recapture of the convict feel assured that they had the right man and are incensed that through the action of the Courts of Minnesota justice has miscarried.

Eaton, was arrested at, Hingham, Mass., on Thursday, charg-j ed with the murder of her husband, j She drove from her home in an automobile accompanied by two po- j lice officers. District Attorney A. F. Barker an- j nounced the arrest in the following | statement: "Mrs. Eaton is under arrest charged with the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton. "Admiral Eaton died from arsenical poisoning. This fact was communicated to me on March 10 by Prof. Whitney, in a preliminary verbal report, and has been known to the officers working on the case since that time. Certain features which are in}volved have been presented to the auI thotitfies and will be communicated to the public. We have been unable thus far to ascertain where the poison was procured. Mrs. Eaton was arrested at jher home at Assinippi this morning." Mrs. Eaton later was arraigned, pleaded not guilty and was committed :to jail without bail for further heai:|ing on March 28. Admiral Eaton, a native of Alabama, died suddenly on the morning of .March 8. He was 66 years old, but according to his friends had been in good health. Two days later the body was buried at Dracut, his former home. There was no service at the grave, and besides undertakers and newspaper men, only the widow and her daughter witnessed the interment. The rear admiral had seen 39 years service in the navy. He commanded the transport Resolute at Santiago and received a medal of honor for his share in that battle. i The present Mrs. Eaton was the admiral's second wife and was formerly the wife of D. A. Ainsworth, once a clerk in the United States senate. Her father was George Harrison and the family home was at Alexandria, Va. She is 4 0 years old. The investigation is said to have developed that her married life was not altogether happy. Her explanation that her husband died from an attack of indigestion did not satisfy the medical examiner, and after conferring with the family physician he i delayed the body's preparation for burial until after a post mortem ex aminauou.

Laurens, March 23.?The officers to-day are trying to apprehend Sam Price, a young negro brick mason, who, it is charged, shot and fatally wounded Tom Fuller, another negro, the shooting occurring at the home of tlTe latter shortly after 9 o'clock last night. Fuller was shot through the abdomen. He died this afternoon. Going home from his work last night Fuller, failing to get a response from within at the front door, went to the rear of- the house when a man suddenly emerged from the back . . door with a pistol in his hand, shot Fuller down and made his escape. In an ante-mortem statement to- . day Fuller says he recogriied his assailant as Sam Price and begged him not to shoot; that he himself was unarmed and could not protect himself. Fuller's wife, who was in the house, was arrested and placed in jail. At first she denied that any one else was ih the house, but later admitted to an officer, it is said, that Price was the person who did the shooting. This is the first homicide in Laurens county since last October.
