AN ODD HINDOO CUSTOM.

Grimes of the Young.

Old Mon Go to Jail to Atone for the
Crimes of the Young.
A student of life and manners in the
Punjaub has been struck by the large
proportion of very old men in the
Indian jails, says the London News.
in the prison at Mooltan there were
last year seventeen life prisoners
Whose total ages were found to amount
TO more than eleven hundred years
two of them being patriarchs of up
ward of eighty. The remarkable fact
hs attributed partly to the great i'm
provement in the economy of Indian
5ails, since the exposure of their mis-
management some years ago, but more
directly to the prevalent practice
when crime has been committed of
handing over the least useful member
of the family as sort of vicarious
offering to justice.
4, On this point the inspector general
of Indian prisons observes that the
confinement which conviction entails
is of course less irksome to the aged
Than to the young. Moreover" he
continued, 1.-The people know that
specially comfortable place in the
shape of good food, ample clothing,
special dietary, the lightest of work,
and society not entirely uncongenial
awaits the old man in our jails." A
case has been cited in which man
had been strangled. The person to
whom the crime, by his own confes-
sion. was brought home was a feeble
old fellow who had been paralyzed in
both arms for twenty years, and could
mot have committed the crime. But
as his family all said he did it and he
himself said he did. and there were
plenty of ''eye witnesses" the old man
went cheerfully to jail and lies there

FROZEN AIR.


Varying Atmospheric Conditions Above
tho Earth.
The recent experiments in France in
measuring the temperature of the
higher regions of the atmosphere by
means of balloons furnished with au-
tomatic recording instruments have
suggested the question whether the air
continues to be ''air,' in the sense in
which we understand it, at a very
great elevation from the earth. The
diminution of temperature is so rapid
as to indicate that in interstellar space
1t must sink at least as low as four
hundred and fifty or five hundred de-
greeS~Fahrenheit below zero, and per-
haps much lower.
But at far less extreme degrees Of
cold than these, oxygen and nitrogen,
The principal constituents of air, have
been experimentally liquefed and SOL
tdifed. What then is the condition of
the air at heights where the tempera-
ture is so low?
NJ. de Eouvielle answers that the air
there loses its gaseous condition and
becomes changed into a series of mi
mute crystals or drops which follow the
Earth in its motion through space, and
are constantly vaporized when falling
In regions where the temperature is
somewhat above their point of iquefac-
lion or evaporation.
What an astonishing thing, in its eff
fects, is temperature! On the earth
IRON is solid, in the sun it is a vapor;
tempera ture makes the difference.
At the equator water is always
liquid, in the polar regions much of it
is continually solid-difference of
temperature again.
The air we live in is gaseous at and
near the surface of the globe. but, if NJ.
de Fouvielle is right. at an elevation of
few miles above the ground air is
either liquid or solid, or both. And
pnce again variation of temperature
plays the chief part in producing diff
ferences of condition.

The Outgoing-The Incoming

President Harrison today yields
the executive chair of the Govern
ment to President elect Cleveland,
thus ending his four years admins
tration. The credit of the Govern
ment was never better, the prosperl>
ty Of the people more general and
our prestige more commanding, The
outgoing administration will take its
place in history as one of the ablest
on record.
President Cleveland assumes the
1eigns of the Government strength

The Report That He May Not Fight
Mitchell Partially Confirmed.
NEW YORK, March 3.-The report
which came from the west that Jim
Corbett is seriously i'll, and that Man
ager W. A. Brady may cancel his en-
gagements, seems to be pretty well au-
thentlcated. Corbett has not been a
thoroughly well man for years. or since
he fought Jackson in San Francisco.
At that time nearly three years ago. he
was suffering from a blood disease.
which then threatened to incaDacitate

was greatly debilitated Had he been

able to rise from his chair when so or
dered by the referee. 1t is now thought
that Corbett may have to forfeit to
Mitchell. In that case English Charley
would be $4,000 richer and the prou1
possessor of the title of champion of tn
world.
1t has been no secret here for month
that Corbett's blood malady was troub
ling him again. In sporting circles its
character was made the subject fo,
many jokes. He was examined few
months ago by Dr. J. W. Gibbs. who
declines, however, to discuss the dis
eases of a patient.
Mike Donovan, who knows more
about Corbett's real condition than any
man III America, was equally reticent.
He admitted the champion was a sick
man, but did not wish to express him
self on the subject. The general i'm

A New Port for Grain Export.

CHARLESTON, March 3.-At the meet
ing of merchants and business men of
this city, together with railroad officials
held here. steps were taken to secure a
charter of the Charleston Grain Export
ing company for which the capital stock
was subscribed. This movement is the
outgrowth of the recent action of the
railway authorities, granting reduced
rates on grain from the west to South
Atlantic ports. The new company will
be organized at once, and its business
will be to ship western grain and flour
to Europe through this port.
