More than $1,000,000 was spent to solve the Lindbergh baby murder Including the capture and conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Tills estimate was made by Assistant Attorney General Joseph A. Lanlgan. He made this estimate when the joint committee legislative appropriations approved a supplemental appropriation of $80,000 to defray the remaining expenses of the recent trial at Flemlng-ton- .

Only one' member of the family, Hannah, a sister of Isldor, ever testified and she only for a few minute Dr. Charles IL Mitchell, who testified about the autopsy he performed on the murdered baby, Charles Lindbergh, charged the state $300 and Prof. George IL Priest, of Princeton, asked $150 for reading his translation of a letter Hauptmann wrote to the Flsch family in Germany.

Dr. Souder, the government expert from Washington, charged only $00.15, travel expenses. But ponderous old Albert S.

Walter, $4,856 ; Harry E. Cassidy, $3,5.10; J. Clark Sellers, $3,238, and John F. Tyrell, $3,507. Angered, the caustic little attorney general said: "All these bills will be measured by the same yardstick as In the case of a private litigant No one will be permitted excessive fees merely because the state Is the debtor. Some of these bills are outrageously high. They will not be approved by me. Expert Asks $4,130.

Origin of Sheep Obscure; Formerly Had Two Coats This news disheartened Hauptmann, but he still insisted he would triumph In his fight for a new trial The cost of hls appeals will run to more than $10,000, and will not be borne by the state, as originally agreed, but by the ' defense. By appearing at rallies In New York, largely before German groups, Mrs. Hauptmann has managed to raise several thousand dollars. Moreover, the defense fund has been swelled by press and radio appeals. Barred from openly soliciting funds In New York, Mrs. Hauptmann la planning appearances in other large cities. Ancient Deed Tells of Indian Land Transfer Stevens Point, Wls. Transfer of a huge tract of land In western Wisconsin from the Nawdawlssle Indiana to one Jonathon Carver In 1767 Is told In the original transfer document on file in the office of the Crawford county register of deeds at Prairie du Chlen. Carver la described as "A chief under the most mighty and potent George the Third, king of the English, and other nations, the fame of whose courageous warriors lave reached our ears. Symbols record the signatures of two Indian chiefs, Aawnopawjatin (symbol of a lizard), and Otchtongoomllskcaw (symbol of a snake). British Railways Will Install Camping Coaches The origin of sheep Is rather obscure, notes a writer In the Montreal discoveries Herald. Archeological have shown that In prehistoric times there was an animal called the "moufflon, similar In type to the South American Yak with a coarse shaggy coat HI adapted to life on the plains, the moufflon was gradually driven back to the hills. Mankind found these animals of great practical use, and as they were domesticated the early sheep men bred for size since tha large animals provided skins of sufficient size, to cover a single person without any attempt at tailoring; also they selected for breeding purposes the animals with the softest wool since these were most comfortable when worn next the body. Primitive sheep had two coats, the outer hairy coat which served as a protective covering and the inner coat of softer, finer fiber which kept the animal warm. This Inner covering of softer, finer fiber was the forerunner of the present day wool and by careful selection and breeding the outer hairy coat was gradually eliminated entirely. But even In the sheep of today there are still traces of. this outer hairy coat which persists In the form of coarse brittle fibers known as kemp, which Is especially noticeable In some mountain breeds, and Is also found on newly born lambs, although soon after birth It becomes lost In the breeds that produce the finest wool - Washington. Railway coaches fully equipped for camping are to be made available to the British public at a relatively small charge, a report to the Commerce department from its London office shows. This unique experiment has been decided upon, the report states, by both the Southern railway and the Great Western railway In their campaign for greater passenger traffic over their lines. The sites for the "camping" coaches will be selected with regard to scenic and other advantages. The rental of the camping coaches varies between 50 shillings and 80 shillings per week, depending on the season and the location of the coach. The only additional charge la the minimum number of four "monthly return tickets to the site where the coaches are located. . The cars which will be employed, the report states, are old equipment, refitted for the purpose. I I j Magnetic Compass Guided by Magnetism of Earth The action of the magnetic compassj depends upon the attraction of the earth's magnetic force. The earth Is a great magnet, with one pole In the neighborhood of 70 degrees north latitude, and 05 degrees west longitude, and the other near 72 degrees south latitude and 155 degrees east longitude. These poles are not points, asserts a writer in the Indianapolis News, bat areas over which the vertical Intensity of the magnetic force Is practically the same; and they are constantly but slowly changing their positions. Within these areas a freely suspended magnet hangs nearly or exactly vertical As we recede from the magnetic poles, freely suspended magnets change from a vertical position until on the magnetic equator (which la nowhere more than 15 degrees from the geographic equator) they are horizontal. A magnet which la constrained to move only In a horizontal plane will point nearly toward the magnetic pole. Its direction In different parts of the world has been carefully ascertained and tabulated ; so that if we know the magnetic direction of a ship's course, we can ascertain the true geographical direction by applying a correction, which Is called the variation or declination, and which Is the angle between magnetic north and true north.- "Invisible Torpedo Is Developed by Germans London.
