the violation of law.

the violation of law.
It must be borne in mind that laws
are not made for the enforcement of
abstract justice, but are enacted solely
for the protection of the lives, the we'll
being, the property of the people.
Insanity, so far as its legal bearings
are concerned, should be strictly
defined and limited, for if this is not
done many criminals would altogether
escape by bringing forward a plea that
it would be difficult to controvert, and
many others, truly insane from medi-
cal standpoint, but eminently respon-
sible for their acts, would be cast loose
to perpetrate crimes at their pleasure.
Thus, legal insanity and medical in
sanity are very different things, and
the two standards never are and never
ought to be the same.
The law establishes an arbitrary and
unscientific line, and declares that
every act performed on one side of that
line Is the act of a sane mind, while all
acts done on the other side result from
insane minds. This line may be in
one place to-day and in an entirely diff
ferent place tomorrow, according to
the whim or caprice of a Legislature
1t may be established on a certain par
allel line in one country and on an en-
tirely different parallel in another
country. In the State of New York,
for instance. it Is drawn at the knowI-
edge of right and wrong, and, perhaps,
all things considered, this is about as
correct legal line as a due regard for
the safety of society will permit to be
made; but every physician knows that
it is absolutely untenable from his
point of view; that it is not a medical
line, and that there are thousands of
lunatics insane enough to believe them
selves to be veritable julius Caesars,
and yet sufficiently sane to know that a
particular act is contrary to law, and
to be fully aware of the nature and
consequences of such act. Should they
commit crime they should undergo
the punishment for that crime.
The idea that person can be sane
one moment. insane the next, and then
Immediately sane again, Is altogether
at variance with science as based upon
experience. People do not become sud
denly insane. Some act of violence
may mark the elimination of their in
sanity, but there is always a more OF
less extended period before such cul-
mination. during which the individual
has exhibited marked evidences OF
mental alteration. Unless there is
this antecedent stage, it may be re-
garded as certain that the act alleged
to be that of an insane person is one
perpetrated in the heat of passion or
deliberately with malice, and with such
assumed symptoms of mental derange-
ment as the perpetrator thinks Will ex-
cuse him in the eye of the law.

WILLIAM T. CHAMBERLAIN, of Nor

which promises to be the most durable,
simple and .effectual gun ever made. 1t
is called the electric hydrogen gun.
There are three methods of firing the
arm By the first method, Mr.. Cham
iberlain claims, the proiectile is sent from
the gun by pressure equal to 1000
atmOspheres, by the second process by
four times that force, and by the third
method Ii Is transformed into an air gun
with a pressure Of from l, 500 to 1000
pounds The gun IS simple, without
other machinery than the chamber and
barrel. The demand for new valuable
weapons is so great that some of the
great powers may find in this arm the

THOMAS G.. VOOLFOLK has for the
second time been sentenced to be
hanged. He is the man accused in Bib
County, Georgia, of numbering ten
people of his own family. On the night
of August 7, 1887, Voolfolk took an
ak, and going from room to room in his
fathers house, butchered every one of
its inmates while they slept. They were
his father, step-mother, three half-sis-
tiers, three half-brothers, one infant in
arms and an aged aunt. The evidence
was circumstantial, but the long de-
lays and retrials have come about more
through the horror with which people
shrank from the belief that q son and a
brother. could commit such an awful
act.
