In the deliberations of the international
maritime conference at Washington, one
resolution was insisted upon, the require
ment, namely, that in fog, mist, or
falling snow, vessels shall go at a moder.
ate rate of speed. Positive legal require
ments in this direction, according to the
New York CbSorOer, are badly needed;
for the recklessness of steam vessels at
such times is continually on the increase.
The argument of the ocean steamers that
there will always be possibility of a col
lision in fog, and that on the whole the
steamer running the fastest will have the
best chance of escape, entirely ignores
the chances of the second vessel If it
is fishing smack or coasting ship, such
as are most frequently met in the fog
banks, the probability that it will escape
entire destruction is very small, and di-
minishes in proportion to the speed of
the colliding vessel. Still another point
often overlooked is the fact that when a
small ship is wrecked by the larger YES
sci, if the second ship is sailing at full
speed, there is no chance that it can be
stopped in time to rescue the survivors.
A law restraining the speed of vessels in
fogs is law in the interests Of humanity
and common sense. -

News has reached San Francisco of the
attempted murder of Count Okuma, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs for Japan. The
Minister had returned from cabinet
meeting and was about to enter the gate
of his residence when political enemy
of his named Kudishma Tsuneki, threw Q
bomb at him. The missile struck the
top of the carriage and exploded. The
Count was severely wounded in the right
leg and slightly in the hand and face.
1t was found necessary to amputate the
leg. The would-be assassin killed him.

DRIVEN OUT TO SEA.

About fifty miles above Sidney, Aus
tralia, an English gentleman named
Howe, retired civil officer, had fine
place directly on the sea. This was
twenty-five years ago, and the place may
have passed through half dozen hands
since. 1t was villa or country seat and
farm combined. Howe was rich, but he
raised fruits, vegetables, hay and wool
to sell, and he was part owner in a small
brig which called in at intervals to carry
our stuff away. On my first voyage in
with this brig the gentleman took fancy
to me and hired me to work ashore, and
had been with him three years when the
distressing incident | am about to relate
came about.
Howe owned pleasure yacht but as
be feared the sea she was seldom used.

Some Italian observers have been re
Gently testing the senses of criminals,
and they find these dullcr than in tht
average of people. Signor Ottolenghi,
in Turin, found last year a less acut,
sense of smell in criminals, and he now
aifirms the same for taste, which he tested
by applying bitter and sweet substances
(strychnine and saccharine) in dilute so
luton to the tongue. He finds also the
taste of the habitual criminal less acute
than that of the casual offender.

For somethin like week,
But ther'd be music, suspect,
If our oil clock could speak.
In rain or shine, through peace an war,
It's still been as appears,
A member of our family for
Some five and fifty years.
It's stood right there, through thick and

An raked its own opinions in
Bout what we mortals done;
Itshed good watch O young an old
IAN looked so mild and meekD
Some anecdotes ther' would be told,
If our oil clock speak.
It's stood aroun' at every meal,
Mid clash O plate an cup,
An heard us our ids reveal
An size the neighbors up;
It's traced our little bickerin's too,
An seemed to sympathize,
a squintin' softly at us through
Them solemn key hole eyes;
It's umpired many lively game

How our folks drove to town one day,

With self-protectin' things to play,
But let the OF clock be;n
An though we young 'uns never stilD
Hadn't thought O that before,
We now couldn'tlet it lone, until
1t crashed down on the floor!
We tremblin' set it up again,
Half-runnin, with a squeak;
Twas lucky for our jackets then,
The critter could't speak!
How O folks went to church, one night
An left us all-sly elves

But neighbor gals an boys in teens
Walked in-an' first we knew,
We fell to playin' 'Oats, peas, beans,T
''Snap up and catch 'em, too;
We scattered, when, by good ear-luck
She heard the big gate creak;
The OF clock frowned an ticked an struck,
But couldn't make out to speak!
All me! the facts 'twould just let fly,
Suppose it had the power

They turned it back an hour

The Hon. Edward j. Phelps, ex-
Minister to England and Lecturer
on Law at Yale, has turned his at
tention to the subject OF Divorce in
tho United States, with al EFFORT to
discover p practical means OF lessen
ing the evil. How great tbat evil
is may be seen at glance from the
fact that during The last twenty
years more than 100000 divorces
have been granted, whereas, during
the preceding twenty yearA, only q
few more than 325, 900 were granted.
fhis rapid increase is the main fact
which has directed the attention
both OF social and legal r,formers
To the subject. Mr.. Phelps treats
1t from a practical. legal point Of
view, and considers the means
whereby the law may oe best used
as a preventive.
A uniform divorce law In all the
States he regards as inn 2ossible ever
To obtain. and his view OF the Fed
eral Constitution 10 that IL would
be illegal for the United States to
enact o law on this subject, this
being q matter which falls within
State jurisdiction. He addresses
himself, therefore, to State laws;
and, after u discussion OF the main
features of all these laws, reaches
the conclusion that the remedy will
he found in a prohibition OF mar
riage by either divorced party so
long as the Other lives. He lows
historically. that 1t is tho liberty to
marry again that has csnsed such
an Increase 10 divorce aud he
concludes that it is the desire for
another marriage alliance that it is
the main cause OF most separations
bstween husbands aud wives. M.
Phelps contributes this study of
the subjec. 70 The Forum, and it
