Bill Nye DiscOurses on tho Pleasures Of an
Arrest in That City.
st. Louis is the only city have ever Wis
tied where it seemed like paying q man q
delicate tribute to arrest him, writes Bill
Nye in the Chicago Tribune. When you are
arrested in st. Louis you do not go reluc-
family to the nearest station by means of
the scruH Of your neck, through a hooting
and madding crowd, but the policeman who
has arrested you sends in signal from the
nearest box, and directly, as the English
put 1T, or right away, as the American has
it, beautiful silver-mounted droska, or
Rise-up- William Riley-and-come-along- with
ME phaeton, drawn by gaily caparisoned
and neighing steeds, dashes up to the curb,
driven by an Olive street gondolier. You
bound lightly into the beautifully fiecked
chariot, tiny silver gong about the size Of
railroad time table tinkles gaily. and
away you go, arousing the envy and admire
ton Of those who have never been under
arrest.
But how, asks the keen and spungent
reader, can St Louis afford to do this, while
in city like New York the criminal must
either walk to the station-house or foreGo
the joys of arrest entirely. The answer L.
simple. Here the criminal pays So 80 for an
arrest which he used to get at So This pays
his droska hire and makes his arrest some.
thing to look back to with pleasure. People
who yield to the police and become arrested
from time to time do not care for the ex
pense. MOSTLY they refer the expense to a
place which should be alluded to very spar
ingly IN Sunday paper. And so s.. so don't
bother them at all They pay it if they have
it, and If they do not an opportunity is given
them to earn it later on at some sort Of

makes the arrest an ornament to the city.
and the gentlemanly criminal or misde-
meapant obligato pays for 1T, thus contrib
uting to his own comfort and making his
arrest an ovation and delicate tribute to
himself which the papers can use and which
will read well on a scrap book when forked
over to future generations,

The Cormorant of CountrIas.

Great Britain is the cormorant of coun-
tries. The splendid trope used by Webster
to describe the extent of it's dominion in
every quarter of the globe is truer to-day
than at the time of its utterance half cent
ury ago. The sun never sets upon the scar
let uniform or the tax gatherer for the Brit
ish crown. Out of the little island, once
conquest Of the Roman Empire, has spread
colonizing and conquering people whose
dominion has spread to worlds unknown
by Alexander and Caesar. No continent is
free from its sway. From the little island
of Heligoland, less than mile in extent,
held under the very frown of Bismarck,
and the slightly larger fastness of Glib
raltar, which is grasped firmly in the very
face of Spain, Great Britain, having pos
sessions in every continent and in every
group Of islands, ascends to complete and
pltiless dominion over the peoples of India.
The mere schedule would fill column. The
total area is nearly 1O,0O0,0O0 miles; the to-
tai population only less than 275, 100000.

HYPNoTlsM IN CRIME.
Tho Possibility of Detecting q Crimlna
Through Himself.

1no Possibility OF Detecting Criminal
Through Himself.
The recent discussion before the New
York Academy of Anthropology of the re-
markable results of hypnotism led one of the
gentlemen present at its last meeting to re-
late to reporter for the New York Times
some experiments which he witnessed with
in short time at the lecture of DIR. Dray-
ton at Nantes, France.
"While there" he said, 81 was invited by
Frof. jacques Liegoi, of the Faculty of Jur1s-
prudence, to witness some hypnotic trials
by himself and other members of the fac
ulty. He had avowed that it was possible
to detect, in case of crime committed under
hypnotic influence, the identity of the oper-
ator from the subject-a possibility pre-
viously denied. A female subject was hyp-
Noticed, and NJ. Liegoi told her that upon
awakening she should seize pistol lying
neaPand shoot bystander who, he said,
had grossly insulted her, but not to tell
who suggested the deed. She revived
from her trance, and at once did as she had
been directed, dlscharging revolver point
blank at the person mentioned, declaring
that thus she revenged herself. She was
asked who told her to shoot, and she denied
that any one had done so, declaring with
the utmost vehemence that she had been in
suited, and had repaid the man for his in
suit.
''She was put to sleep again and she was
told that, when she saw the person who
told her to do the shooting, she should look
at him fxedly and that she should then go
to him, greet him and endeaver to conceal
him with her skirts. She was awakened
and NJ. Liegoi appeared. She glared at him
for time, and then walked around him,
finally stopping in front of him, saying:
Bon jour, NJ Liegoi,' and at once spread
out her skirts as though to effectually shield
him from observation"
The gentleman thought that while hypno-
tism might safely be used in suggesting
crime when the same means was used to
discover the operator by the use Of direct
question, it was by no means safe when the
detective sought to discover the identity of
the principal criminal by indirect means,
such as was used in the case of NJ. Liegoi.

A Big Pair OF SHOES.

A shoemaker at Atlanta, Ga, has just I'm
ished the largest pair Of shoes ever made
for actual use. It took a piece Of leather
containing 1,040 square inches to make the
uppers, and 1880 to make the soles. That
is 1900 square inches altogether. If that
leather was cut into two strips of an eighth
of an inch wide and made into one long
string, the string would be 24,0OQ inches
long. The soles weigh 81 pounds The
soles are IA inches long, % wide and 81
inches deep. That doesn't count the heel
which would add another inch to the depth.
