Why are va ght-Handsd.

Investigations which were very recently
carried through by a French Physician, DR..
Fleury, of Bordeaux, have adduced facts
showing that our natural impulse to use the
members on the right side of the body is
clearly traceahle to physiological causes.
DR.. Fleury, after examining an immense
number of human brains, asserts that the
left interior lobe is little larger than the
right one. Again, he shows that, by ex-
amining large number of people, there is
an unequal supply of blood to the two sides
of the body. The brachiocephalic trunk,
which only exists on the right of the arch
Of the aorta, produces, by difference in
termination, an inequality in the waves of
red blood which travel from right to left.
Moreover, the diameters of the subclavian
arteries on each side are different, that on
the right being noticsably larger. The left
lobe of the brain, therefore, being more
richly hematosed than the right, becomes
stronger and as, By the intersection of the
nervous fiber, it commands the right side of

be more readily controlled. This furnishes
one reason for the natural preferences for
the right hand, and another1s found in the
increased supply of blood from the subcla-
vian artery. The augmentation of blood
we have already seen suggested !; but the
reason for it is here ascribed to the relative
size of the artery, and not to any directness
Of path from the heart. DR.. Fleury has
carried his investigations through the
whole series of mamalia: and he finds that
the right-handed pecnliarities exist in all
that have arteries arranged similar to those
of man. At the same time such animals,
notably the chimpanzee, the seal, and the
beavers, are the most adroit and intelligent.

topographic Eccentricities.
Springfield. Mass. Republican.


A great many columns have been written
concerning topographic errors, and many
of the instances sound SO witty or so stupid
that it seems as if they must be rather in
ventions than happenings. But we never
saw one cited 30 unlikely that We couldn't
remember it's match. Once we wrote that
it was "like eyoking the shadow OF
shade" to quote forgotten authors. The
phrase appeared in print thus: "Like
cooking the shadow of . shad." The prin-
ter had, in burlesquing the sentiment, ac-
tually preserved and intensified it in a
most striking image Of unsubstantiability.
At another time we had quoted the proven
bal opinion of Rosalind s. Men have died

Legal Torture in Japan.

According to summary of the japanese
Penal Codes, which was recently contribu-
ted to the Asiatic Society by member of
the English Embassy in Japan, it appears
that those codes, though embodying the
most advanced ideas of the civilzed world
upon the subject of criminal procedure, still
do, not dispense with the use of torture in
the investigation of offences. Tolture, it
is asserted, is not actually practieed, and
notification was issued by the Primo Minis
ter of the Empire two years ago which con-
veyed the impression that it would not be,
but the codes being Silent on the subject, it
is asserted that the courts have power to
resort to it when such q course shall be
deemed expedient. The old laws which
govern the question are very explicit in
their directions az to VAIN and upon whom
torture may be inflicted. 1t is allowed in
mild degree in all preliminary examination
i'm which case Only whip, which inflicts
pain but cannot result in permanent injury,
is used. The severer forms are to be resort
ed to only in the cases of persons held for
trial for murder, incendiarism, robbery ,and
other serious and capital crimes, and who
are already morally proved guilty of the Of
fense of which they are charged. Before
torture is resorted to the accused is notif-
ed of the intention to use it, and ne can
avoid it's inhietion by making full confess
sion, admitting that he is guilty of the Of
Tense charged. In case of the infliction of
torture in cases where it is not allowed, the
officer ordering the infection is responsible
personally. The tortures are numerous
and consist of the infliction of pain by me-
chanical devices and fire, and Of depr1va-
tion of sleep and drink, and of exposure to
venomous reptiles. Albany Lao Journal

HOW THE NABoBs OF NEW YORK AVOID
PAYMENT OF TAXEs ON PERSONAL PROP
ERTY.
New York Special to the Chicago Times.

New York Special to the Chicago Times.
Attention was recently called to the tax
notice for 1878 that was served en- William
ii. Vanderbilt, which was returned with
the Endorsement of Mr.. Vanderbilt that he
owned no personal property in excess of his
debts. One of the tax commissioners
said: Ninety-nine persons out of hundred
would say at first that Mr.. Vanderbilt must
have perjured himself in swearing to such
s thing. Personally do not know him.
but have no doubt that he told the truth.
The laws are SO defective. the exemption of
property by the United States and State
laws are SO numerous, and the means of
eyading taxation are So many and simple.
that l am almost surprised that anyone
pays tax. Our entire system of taxation
is little better than farce. Legislatures
and courts have interfered with it and tin
kered it to such an extent that all large
properties escape taxation, and the burden
falls upon widows and orphans, whose
property is in the surrogate's hands, and
upon small property owners who are unable
to place their possessions where they will
escape assessment.
The gentlemen gives few instances Of
the expedients employed to escape taxa
tion. The president of the city's great cor
porations enjoys salary and income of
about $1,000 year. He lives in a costly
house on Murray hill, and his possession of
bonds, mortgages and securities is large.
He was assessed on personal property in
this city. Under oath he s. id that he was
farmer by occupation, that his residence
was in another country, and that he was
not citizen of New York. Persons visit
ing Europe are usually followed by tax
notices 1t IS not an unheard-of thing for
them to go before an American consul and
make affidavit that they are no longer cit
liens of the United States. In a few
months they are back again in New York
and engaged in their usual business.
They are thousands of residents in Brook
lyn who own valuable personal property in
New York which the New York assessors
cannot get hold of. The Brooklyn asses
sors also miss 1t, and for scores of years it
has paid 10 tax. The removal of securi-
ties from New York to place of deposit in
New Jersey and Connecticut, and the
conversion of taxable State or
city bonds into government bonds that
cannot be taxed, are some of the many de-
vices to escape taxation.
