In q recent lecture before the Society of
Arts in London, q Mr.. P. L. Simmons, who
has had thirty y-two years experience in the
timber trade in western Australia, said that
the jarrah tree of that region is the next
thing to everlasting. He said it defied all
known forms of decay; that white ants
would not touch it, and that ships built of it
did not need to be coppered. A perfectly
sound piece which he exhibited was from
tree cut thirty two years ago and left on the
ground ever since, Every two or three
years bush fires had run over it and it had
bsen exposed to hot, wet, and dry weather.

The opinion of the Supreme court of
Pennsylvania recently delivered in the case
Of Taylor, convict in the penitentiary, in
whose behalf a defence of insanity was raised
ON his trial for the killing of his keeper, con-
tains the following sensible language: Moral
insanity is not sufficient to create defence,
unless it be shown that the propensities in
question exist to such an extent as to subju-
gate the intellect, control the will and rem
der it impossible to do otherwise than to
yield thereto. No moral obliquity of
perception will protect person from pun
ishment for his deliberate act The jury
should be satisfied with reference to the act
in question, that his own reason, conscience
and judgment were 80 entirely perverted as
to render the commission thereof a duty of
overwhelming importance. While slight
deparsur from a well balanced mind may be
pronounced insanity in medical science, vet
such rule cannot be recognized in the ad-
ministration of law when a person is on trial
for the commission of high crime The.

quires the recognition of a rule which de
mands greater degree of insanity to exempt
from punishment
