Scraps of Science.

A question which has for long time puz-
zled the manufacturers of. incandescent
lamps is how to overcome the necessity of
discardng practically the entire lamp when
the tilament is ruptured or destroyed. A
mode of introducing new flament. and at
the same time leaving the remaining solid
parts of the lamp intact, which has been in
operation abroad, has now been patented in
this country, and will shortly come into
general use.

The True Criminal.

In reading an article published in THE
MIRROR of the 9Th inst, entitled, "Con-
science Must Be Reached" l cannot but
see that there are many qualities that 60 to
make up the criminal of to- day. He is
turned over and looked at by this or that
penologist. and put down by them as fail

ure having a different color. [ will say that
the criminal beats the chameleon i'm having
more varieties of character than the chame.
leon has colors, but when preacher or a
judge sets the criminal class down as being
more deficient than others in natures gifts
must say he is very far from the true
point of effectiveness. In the first place
let us try and classify our criminals; that is,
set apart those who are such through lack
of proper bringing up, and those who from
impulse or want have the misfortune to fill
a criminals abode. l say, set them apart,
for they are not criminals, no more than 1

sit in judgment on him. For the criminal
class. that is the true criminals, has more
vitality, endurance. and as general cOnse-
quence more muscular power than their fel

store. or factory. ''Why?" you ask. Be-
cause you of cleaner garments have your
time to do everything, and also know what
that time will bring forth. but with the
criminal it is otherwise. AS rule he is
quick and vigllant; he is here and there like
busy foreman, looking for defect in the
treasure house of his felIowman, and the
time he gets is only the time he has to serve
in states prison, then only does he know
what time has in store for him. And there
are few here can say without hesitation
who would not willingly do without that
gratuity.
Now, i'm dealing with this subject, man
cannot be too careful. and in Judging of
mans qualifications for good or bad we
must look on both sides of the shield. We
are familiar with the slave trade and its at
tendant cruelties and miseres in this as
we'll as other countries, and we know that
under the lash OF the Overseer that power
full race of people became cringng suppli-

Negro as anything else than merchandise
to be used and disposed of at will? Few

hounds kept to hunt them. Still the same

own cline and among their own people. I
will here say that there are few men who
do not become low and debased by slavery.
Have not all men who belong to the same
civilization will of their own? True it
may be different in many respects from the
will of another man, but when you take
that will in bondage and bring it down to
the level of FOOLS, idiots or monOmaniac's
you do as the slave owner does who subjects
his slaves to the lash. When you put down
as theory. that men in prison are morally
insane. or imperfect in some of natures
gifts, beg to differ, for l have not found it
so. Also when you treat the prisoner as
such you only push him deeper down in the
mire of prejudice.
Whenever you begin to think IA mans
man for a. that" though he may be
criminal, then you will be getting at his
complaint And then prisons, instead of

do not mean the system of contracts that
are now in vogue for the employment of
prisoners. that grind them down far worse
than the drunken. gambling slave owner
ever ground down his slaves. That is one
system l would like to see swept out Of the
prisons of this country. Because man is
prisoner of the state. it does not follow that
he should be deprived of earning and re-
ceiving just recOmpense tor the labor per-
formed by him; and if man on entering
here received the same as he would on en-
tering factory on the outside. then he
would learn to save, and by thus receiving
fair recOmpense, it would be of more

find many here who have tender, low
ing nature. Again see some who are
sour and unsOciable; and why are they so?
Why have they never good word for the
law and those who put them in prison?
Because they had a manly sensitive. nature,
and minds capable of understanding the deg
radiation that was heaped upon them, and the
sorrow that they might feel, for the commit
ment of an act, is smOthered in resentment.
That is what imbltters the prisoner and
makes of him in time the bona tide criminal
of Chief Byrnes' class. For his own act he
is branded and outlawed by society, and IN
turn he despisss and preys on it. He
looks for nothing good and therefore does
no good. Like the captive in romance he
was taken and beat with many stripes. and
when he got free and joined the only friends
he had, it was unhealthy for the festive
greenhorn to fall into his clutches, for he
follows to the letter the old Mosaic law. an
eye for an eye, etc. How much better it
would be to see community of bright. cheer
full faces than the dOwncast looks and the
suppressed movements, as can be seen in
most of the prisons throughout the country.

GENERAL: MILES SPEAKS OF, THE MAeNI-

Greater Conspiracy Than That of Pontiac

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Generai Miles,
who has been in Washington since last Sat
urday night, in daily consultation with Sec
retarv Proctor, General Schofeld and Secre-
tarys Noble upon matters relating to the
Indian situation in the Northwest, left for
Chicago to-day.
The General believes that danger is immi-
nent The seriousness of the situation, he
says, ''has not been exaggerated. The dis
affection is more widespread than it has been
at any time for wears. The conspiracy ex-
tends to more different tribes that have here

anything ever inspired by the prophet Te-

"Are the campaign preparations on the
part of the Government complete?" was
asked.

thing will be ready in few days, though.
Altogether there are in the Northwest about

craze; that means fully 5000 lighting men,

that number were concerned in the Mime

TIE BOARD OF APPEALS.
Some Important Questions Discussed by the
Trotting Track Magnates.


CHICAGO. Dec. 2-1he Board of Appeals of
the American Trottiug Association began its
scmi-annual session at the Auditorium. A
number of cases were heard this morning In
the case of Rich versus Smith and Bussell, of
Minnesota, an attempt was made to show that
Smith and Bussell, not being members of the
Minnesota State Association of Trotting and
Pacing Horse Breeders and not being resi-
dents OF Minnesota, were ineligible to make
entry at the races of the association. Evidence
was heard. The entry decided to be regis
tered. Mr.. Church, of Allegan. Mich, was ac-
cused of entering his horse. formerly known as
Lee Z, under the name of Pete or Petard. 1t
appeared that Mr. Church had only bought the
horse a short time before, and that he did
not know him by the name of Lee s. The
matter was taken under advisement
The board Oyerruled the protest against Y.
d. Scales entry of his horse Exeter at the
bloomington Fair this fall. 1t was claimed
that the entry was made after the date for
closing the entries
In the afternoon a most interesting case
came up for hearing. 1t embodied the question
as to whether as sOor as given guaranteed
stakes, is entitled TO amount paid in by sub
scTibers increase Of the guaranteed amount or
If such excess belongs TO the winning horses
pro rata.
The case was that of c. +. Emery against the
Central Illinois Trotung and Pacing Horse
Breeders Association, which comprises the
circuit OF Bloomington, Decatur, Springfield
and Aurora. All of these trOtting events came
out with funds in excess of the guaranteed
stake. Al Springfield the amount III excess was
about $500.
The board took the case under advisement
and VIII hold 4 consultation IN executive
session on it. Adjourned until tomorrow.
