PREssuRE.oF THE SEA.-If a piece of

sure of the.surrounding liquid WILDE SO
severe that quantity of water will be
forced into the pores of the wood and so
increase its weight that it will be no longer
capable Of floating OF rising to the surface.
Hence the timbers of ships, which have
floundered in. a deep part of the ocean,
never rise again to the surface like those
which are sunk near the shore. A diver
may with impunity go to certain depths in
the sea but there is limit beyond which
he is subject to danger. For the same
reason it is probable that there is a depth
below which fishes cannot live. They
have according to Joshlin, been caught in
aFdepth at which they must have sustained
pressure of eighty tons to each square

Royal. Rich. Red Blood.

In this country we are all kings, and we
are all entitled tos.haveyas good blood as
that which courses through the veins of
emperors.
There are princes and miIlionaires lam
gushing in feebleness and broken-down
bodily health who would be glad to have
the strength of the humblest laboring man.
And there are many people who are
neither kings, emperors. nor millionaires,
whose blood is thin, whose circulation is
poor, who are suffering from lassitude and
debility, and who know not the pleasure
Of a..hearty meal nor the enjoyment Of
being able to do a good days work.
If such people will put some iron into
their blood, they will vitalize and enrich it.
They can do this by the use of Browns
Iron Bitters, the purest and most.excellent
iron medicine ever made. Thousands who
were weak, languid, .pale1and Frustrated,
aresnow happy to say that Browns Iron
Bitters brought them up and gave them
new life.

4 PFFJSFD FYTR1DjTJON LAW

Recent disclosures of financial mismanagc-
ment and betrayals of public trust direct atten-
! ton to the inefiiciency of ExtIaditiOn law.
Since the Treaty of 1912 was negotiated with
! Great Britain new class of crimes has been
created by that spirit of greed and money
getting which has taken possession of the
| American people These crimes international
| law does not recognize as extraditabe. The
bank teller who, like Hnckley, embezzles the
money of depositors, can conceal his crime by
false entries. and in single night cross the
border and find secure refuge in Canada. The
bank president who misappropriatcs the funds
of the institution committed TO his charge cannot
be reached by criminal process either in Canada
or England The reckless operator who OBJ
tans money under false pretences of having
control of Government contracts, and drags
down to ruin his coniiding partners and credu-
lous friends, would be screened from punish
ment single mile outside the jurisdiction of
the United States. The antiquated ExtraditiOn
law provides for the return of criminals
charged with robbery, forgery or the utterance
of forged paper, but is silent respecting those
greater crimes which have become so alarm
ingly common. The small cheat who FORCES q
signature, and the reckless thief who knocks
down bank messenger on the sidewalk and
snatces a roll of money from his hand, may be
pursued TO Canada OF across seas and brought
back for trial. The greater criminal, who
traffcs in thousands or millions of other mems
money, betraying trust, abusing the confidence
of employer, patrons or the public, covering his
rascality with swindling devices and gambling
recklcssly in the illusory chances of the Street
can evadc by a single nights journey the penal
ties of outraged law. Extradition is the poor
thefs vengeance. For thieves of the upper
rank it has no terrors.
Public morals require radical changes in OK
tradition practice. Embezzlers, .defaulters and
swinders ought to be placed on level with
robbers and torgers. The discrimination be-
tween poor and desperate thieves and the rich
and extravagant thieves, or those who have
been rich and extravagant, is one that ought
not to be maintained as principle OF intcrna-
tional comfy. The Eighth Commandment is
the shortest and plainest of the Decalogue. 1t
contains only four words, yet is explicit and not
liable To miscOnstructOn. EXtradltOn practice
if modelled after that simple rule of honest
living would make no distinction between the
social standing and previous condition OF
thieves The dclaulting bank president, the
cmbczzlng cashier or teller and the swindling
stock broker would then have TO take the same
chances which are now in reserve for robbers
and forgers. The fact that forgery, which was
once fashionable crime especially III Wall
Street, has steadily diminished since il was in
cluded in the various extradition treaties ne
gotiated by the American Government, proves
