The Prevention of Crime.

Among the various means of pre-
 vention of vice and crime, the as-
 sociations which discuss questions
 of prison reform and which aim to
 influence legislation in favor of
 prison improvements are usefulaids
 toward progress. Of these, the
 Howard Association in England is
 the most famous. Formed twenty
 five years ago, with the chief object
 of the repression of crime by other
 means than mere imprisonment, it
 has accomplished a great work for
 humanity. A report read at it's re-
 cent annual meeting gave an inter-
 esting survey of progress made du-
 ring the last quarter of a century. Statistics giving the decrease of prisoners in England and Wales,
 notwithstanding the increase in population, were interpreted not as marks ot actual reduction in crime, but rather as the application of bet ter methods of dealing with crime than by mere imprisonment. The r4formatories and industrial schools are modern institutions illustrating the improved methods of dealing with crime and are much commend ed bv the Howard Association, for, according to the report, it is much better to commit juvenile offenders, or neglected children, to such insti tutions than to gaol with it's lite long stigma" In this country the reformatory system for men as we'll as boys is receiving much attention and is growing more and more into favor. The Howard Association is now working to obtain a more equit- able observance of the intrinsic diff ference between crimes against the person and those against property. It advocates the avoidance of either a too rapid emulation of sentences or the virtual absence of any open question among the members of the Howard Association, but the com- mittee have continued to collect and 1iffuse information in this as in other departments of penal and so- ,ial study. An interesting feature of the association is it's strong reli- yious feeling. The report draws at
 ention to the dangers of seculariz- ng public institutions and gives as m example the increase of crime in France. Although the chief work of the association is local, it's re- commentators are worthy of mo- ice out of England, since its meth )ds are the result of careful study md it's long course of usefulness las made it widely known and re- 'pected.-Boston Journal.

German foundries are using an alloy of 70 per cent copper to 30 per cent manganese, as valuable addition to brass or bronze. It in- creases the tenacity and ductility of the metal if the proportion of three per cent of alloy only be added. An excess of manganese makes the bronze almost as hard as steel.- London Discovery.

This is a matter which will call for much of MT. Blaine's attention.
 These are few of the things the Secretary finds awaiting him on his return to work. If he can dispose of them all to the public satisfaction the country will need no physicians certificate to prove that he began the contract as we'll man. He may not be very we'll when he gets through, however,

When the atmosphere contains S5 per cent of moisture 1t is satur- ated the amount of humidity is calculated on the 85 per cent scale. so that when we are told that there is 75 per cent of humidity 1t does mean that the atmosphere is only len points away from saturated, but that it contains D per cent of the S5 per cent of humidity necessary to saturate 1t.

That Water.

The article in the constitution on
 ''water and water rights" which was 1 approved by large number of the
 most extensive consumers of water,
 in Arizona, seems to be worrying
 the Enterprise, the editors ofwhich
 have no use for water in any shape,
 as 1t is said they always take theirs
 straight" Section 1 of that article,
 which says: "All natural streams
 and lakes within the boundaries of this state, capable of being used for the purposes of navigation, are hereby declared to be the property of the state. is the part which prin- cipally meets their disaproval. Sup pose we do give the water to the state does not the constitution pro- vide that the mode and manner of acquiring this water be subject to legislative control? Then why all this buncombe about the people not getting a fair deal on the water question, "The right of the people to appropriate and use the unap- propriated waters of this state, for beneficial purposes, sh all never be denied; priority of appropriation shall give the better right always" If there is anything objectionable in the above clause, we would like to have it pointed out. There cer- tainly can be no good cause for complaint, that the prior appropri. ator be given the preference. For if a man goes to the expense of building a canal, reservoir or dam, he most certainly should have his rights protected. If a locator of a reservoir or canal, does not use req sonable diligence in constructing these canals or reservoirs, he for feits his right to them. Section 4 covers the whole matter. It says "The right ofindividuals or corpor- ations to construct reservoirs and | impound and appropriate the sur plus and flood waters in this state, , for sale, rental, domestic, stock, or any beneficial purpose, shall never be denied. The first locator ot the reservoir right shall have priority. A failure to construct reservoirs and canals within reasonable time after location, and a failure to use reasonable diligence to maintain the same so as to supply water, shall be held to work a forfeiture of such right" The constitution also pro- vides, that the legislature shall pass laws requiring owners of ditches, or canals, to use reasonable diligence in keeping them in repair and in such condition as to supply all the water required. That section does not show much favor to the ''corpor- ations" that these "two penny" sheets harpso much about. Anyone who is not blind with prejudice and will read the whole constitution carefully, cannot but see it's merits. Those who read it and are not sat- isfed, let them get copies of con stitutlons of other states and com pare them with ours. We venture to say that the comparison will re- suit favorably to Arizona's new con stitution.-Gazette.
