Now the claim is made that the guillotine
does not cause instantaneous and painless
death. The Boston Globe hears that muir
derer in France was decapitated by the guillo-
tine and that his heart beat for six minutes
afterward. From this the Globe draws the
inference 'that the death penalty, in any
form, is somewhat painful Persons medi.
tating murder will do well to bear this fact
in mind" The moral is good, but it is not
generally believed that the heart is the seat
of sensation. Disseminating mans spinal

end the mans ability to suffer pain.

British Freight Rates Higher.


Some things are cheaper in Great
Britain than in this country, but the
transpor tation of freight on railroads
is not one of them. The latest official
returns for both countries gives an
opportunity for interesting and in
structive comparison. The London
show that the average rate charged
for the whole of the traffic carried on
the American railways In 1889, mer-
chandise as well as minerals, was
975c. or 45Sd per ton per mile. In
other words, the railways received
less than half penny per ton per
mile over the whole of their traffic.
In some cases, and especially in the
cases of such leading railroads as the
Pennsylvania and the New York
Central, the. average rate charged
was considerably Jess even than this.
Not only 30, but there has been
steady diminution of the ton-mile
rate on the railways of America for
q long series of years. To go no
further back than 1882, il appears In
that year, the average rate over the
whole of the traffic was 1920, or
roughly Sod per ton per mile. 1t
follows that even during the last six
years there has been q decrease Of
about q per cent. British traders
know full we'll that there has been
no corresponding movement of freight
rates on British railways. On the
contrary, the companies who control
the latter have at present pending
unsettled demands for very much
higher rates.

The Growth of Our Sea Beaches

The Growth OF Our sea Beacnes.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
AS the tide falls, the sand laid bare
is rapidly dried by the wind and
carried above high water mark. Then
safe beyond the reach of the waves,
the minute particles are borne still
farther from the water, land, striking
against some piece of driftwood,
bush or tuft of grass, quickly build
q hillock, which Crews larger and
larger as more sand falls upon 1t,
and q dome is formed many feet in
height. The material of which these
dunes are composed is never at rest,
but files hither and thither with the
wind, and q hillock 10 or Is feet high
today may noiselessly be taken down
tomorrow and rebuilt 100 yards away.
In time, as the beach grows seaward
and the dunes increase in number,
those of earlier formation, which are
somewhat protected from the breeze,
catch few seeds, and tufts of grass
begin to grow upon them. Still later,
the messy Hudsonla or some starvel-
ing wax-myrtle finds little susie
nance, and as years elapse the dunes
become 80 thickly covered with vege-
tation that under the protection of
the seaward hillocks they obtain
their form with comparatively little
change.
Thus have the beaches grown.
First q sand fiat built by ocean waves
and currents; then q series of low.
shifting dunes; next sheltered hill
locks, on which grasses and shrubs
fasten their protecting roots; sue.
ceeding the latter q growth of small
cedar and pines; and, finally, as CEN
turtles roll on, majestic forest trees
rise their spreading tops and shelter
q dense under growth.

When Mr.. Jones, of the st. Louis
Repub bile, says that the school issue
In Illinois and Wisconsin Is simply
whether or not "the private school
shall be put in control of the police
power of the state,n he very clearly
demonstrates not only his Ignorance
of grammar but of facts. No one pro-
poses that the private school shall
control the police power of the state,
though that is the absurd statement
he unwittingly makes. From
the contest 1t Is evident that
what he meant to say was
that the police power Of the state
threatened to take control of the
private school. It is with profound
regret that we call attention to this
glarlng grammatical blunder on the
part Of an editor who kindly volun-
teers his advice on educational mat.
tiers to the people of Illinois and Wis
consin, but it serves to emphasize the
fact that education cannot be too
thorough. Had compulsory law
been in operation in the district where
Mr.. Jones attended school in his
youth, he might now come nearer
saying what he intends to say than
he sometimes does.
