of many judgments. If his article is
wholly his own, it is still the policy, the
tone, the character of the vehicle that
carries it, that puts flesh upon his text.

RUSSIAN PRISON SYSTEMS.

Mr.. George Remnants papers on Russian
prisons stirred the Gar nightly, not
withstanding his disclaimer and the
@blacking out" of Remnants articles from
all papers and magazines entering the en-
pire. The evidence that the Gar feels
exceeding 'isoren is found in the eagerness
with which Russian officials seconded
Mr.. E. B. Lanin in his reply to the Amer
lean investigator, which he published re-
Gently in the Fortnightly ReUiew. In that
paper Lanin tells us that he enjoyed
every facility for ascertaining the simple
truth, bat that KEENAN, was misled by
convicts and his own imagination.
Lanin's article, however, is lame one
and really is to be read between the lines.
1t is as plain as pike-staff that he writes
against his better nature, and hesi.ates to
commit himself to the statement that
Russian prisons are not much inferior in
provision or the treatment of prisoners
more severe than in other civilized coun-
tries
But if that is for the sake of the argu-
ment admitted, how does the maladminis-
tration of others excuse the Cars Govern
ment, if its treatment of political prisoners
is inhuman? Here is Lanin himself con-
Tossing that as to to one prison he visited
there was great cause for complaint. Re-
ferring to the inmates he says: mo food
whateyer is allowed them, nor money to
buy it. Every second day the jailer leads
them to the village to solicit aims What
they get in this way is their only means OF
supporting life"
We submit that not even in China,
Persia or among the Tartars is there such
cruelty inflicted upon prisoners. But Mr..
Lanin is driven from his position by the
official reports that KEENAN, cites, in which
Governors have protested with tears in
the lines against the inhumanlty with
which Siberian exiles are treated and
against the unsanitary condition of the
chief northern prisons.
A report made to the international
Prison Congress that recently sat in St.
Petersburg, signed by specialist of prom
inence, charged that for retaliation and
Sitting of ears, Russia has simply substi-
tuted the policy of neglect, and that the
convict prisons and houses of detention
"are the embodiment of the theory accord
ing to which noxious members of society
should be cast out and no further care
taken of thair lot y

DIR. Brown -SEQuARD. IN the Forum,
declares that we neglect the quality of the
brain to our infinite damage, by overlook
ing the fact that there are motor elements
in the brain and the spinal cord that are
not properly developed and exercised un-
less we train our left as well as our right
side, to labor, exercise and use. Thus the
left hand is neglected at the expense of
some elements. He declares that if par
ents would train their children TO the use
of both hands so that they could use each
one with almost equal facility and
strength, the children will have better de-
veloped brains stronger intellects and
better physical health.

THE JUDICIAL SIDE OF HYpNoTIsM

Is our so-called free will in any sense an
illusion? In the Arena an essayist claims
that hypnotism has demonstrated that it
is. Some weeks ago we considered the
evidence produced by the scientists of
Nancy, France, establishing apparently
the fact that person can be controlled,
despite his will, to commit crime. The
Judges of Paris were so interested in the
Nancy experiments that they requested
the experimenters to report in detail to
them what, in their opinion, would be the
effect of the demonstrations upon the laws
of evidence. We then said that we be-
lieved from all that had been shown, that
legislative interference would soon be
necessary to adapt the criminal laws to the
newly developed conditions of hypnotism
The essayist in the arena takes it for
granted that such attention by legislators
must now be given to the subject. 1t must
be provided, as was advised by the recent
physicians convention in San Francisco,
that none but the skilled and responsible
shall be allowed to exercise hypnotic in
fuences; that when applied as a remedy,
hypnotism shall be repeated oftener than
medical wisdom advises. The same writer
arrives at the conclusion from all the testi-
mony offered, that the hypnotized can fall
a victim to crime, and that abduction
theft, perjury and similar crimes are easily
accomplished upon hypnotized persons.
Moreover, that the hypnotic can be made
the tool for the crime Of others.
Since the whole theory of the law in
holding men to responsibility is based
upon the doctrine of the free viii action
of men, the necessity of modifying the law
to meet the developments Of hypnotism is
patent The system of our Jurisprudence
must be made to harmonic with this new
development in the realm of biology; we
must abandon the idea that every sane
man is at all times responsible for his acts,
and admit an exception where the will of
one is positively subordinated to that of
another, to an extent that deprives the
victim of free will action.

Alexander broke the mains Of the Nat
ural Gas Company Of West Virginia,
and temporary connection was patched
up. 1t was necessary, however. to build
the permanent line around the break.
and the pipe was put down since the ac-
cident occurred. To-day the supply OF
gas will be cut of until the new pipe
can be permanently connected with the
lines on each side of the break. 1t Is
thought that the connections can be
made in about three hours. 1t is only
with the greatest eXcrtion that the
Company has been able to keep up the

after to-day no further trouble is antlci-
patcd.
