Queer Facts About the Crime In Inns
Country.

Oueer Facts About the Crime IN As
Country.
Some late statistics puDllsneu III
regard to crime in this country sho"
some interesting and curious 1actS'
We generally think foreigners com
nit most of the murders IN tnls
country but. in fact, over nall the
homicides committed by white people
are chargeable to native Americans
The negro homicides constitute near
ly one-Aalf of all such crimes natlve
or foreign, and they are remarkdple
for cruelty and brutality. Murderers
are not usually illiterate. The ma
iority of them can read and write
except in the case of negroes, less
than half of whom can do either, ana
of the Indians only very few nave
any education or even civilization
at all.
One of the most curious facts is the
large number of farmers guilty OF
homicide. The farmer is usually
supposed to be tractable and peace
loving. Yet out of all homicides in
any one year it will be found that
nearly One-third of them are COM
mitted by farmers. 1t is even claim
ed by some that contact with the soil
arouses a love for blood. The pro-
LESSONS furnish about one or two out
of 100: the office-holders about one
for every 200. and the fishers about
one for every 800. Unskilled labor is
credited with most, agriculturists
a.
chanical industries follow, and then
in their order of criminality come
personal and house servants, railroad
and steamship people, trade and COM
merce, mining, professional, official
lumber and miscellaneous.
To the everlasting honor of wom-
anhood, be it said that out of all
homicides men commit at least 50
per cent of them and women not
over 5 or per cent, and of those the
vast majority are by lewd and aban-
dOned women. And of the men it is
found. naturally enough, that nearly
one-half of them are bachelors.
Men are never too old to murder.
The average age is found to be about
35 years, except among the Chinese,
where the average is higher. Twen-
ty per cent. are under 35 and a few
are over the Scriptural three score
and ten The average age Of women
is over 81, and that of the negroes is
about 80.
The figures also dispel the popular
delusion that idleness is crimes great
workshop, as over three-fourths of
all persons charged with homicide
were employed at the time of the
crime. Nor does liquor play the all
important part usually attributed to
it. Less than one fifth of all the
homicides are found to be inveterate
drinkers, while fully as large num-
Der are found to be total abstainers.
Over 90 per cent. have been found to
be in good physical health, and very
few have shown any striking marks
of physical atavism or degeneration.

Musical Vibrations.

I, for one, believe that we are on
the eve of great era of applicable
force, and that the wasteful methods
of steam and electricity will be rele-
gated to a desuetude such as has
overtaken the stage coach.
The grounds of my belief are based
not wholly on hearsay, but chiefly on
a curious experience. A few days ago
a young man living in the vicinity
of Boston took me to his room and
showed me an apparatus which he
had himself constructed with amaz-
ing ingenuity and skill. The funda-
mental primum mobile of this SIM
pie machine was musical vibration.
/ have no right to describe the ap-
paratus, but the force produced in
an incredibly brief interval of time
by means of fiddle bow was so enor-
nous that there seemed to be no way
# measuring it, and the chief ditfi-
Guilty in the way of practical appli-
cation lay in the regulation OF this
force, which if directed tull upon a
human being, the inventor believed,
would instantly vapOriZe his body.
A single drop Of water confined in a
hollow stell tube was resolved by a
small fraction of this possible energy
into a motor capable of running an
engine if properly applied.
1t is we'll known to all scientific
men that cubic foot Of atmospheric
air contains latent Gf one might use
the terml, or in suspension, force
enough to kill regiment. Musical
vibration seems 10 set free a portion
of this energy, and its resources are
/ infinite If. once they can be reg
| ulated it will be the simplest and
most inexpensive way of doing all
manual work, for it will require no
| heat.
The young man who thought out
this wonderful series Of apparatus is
self made, not having had great ad-
vantageS of education: but for pure
! genius, l think. whether as a prac-
teal inventor or rs a theoretical ex-
| perimeuter. be will take high rank
among the great Of the world. -Bos-

"HARLAN was comparatively sober
at the time, and no extenuatlng cir
cumStance appears in his favor, says
a dispatch from Jefferson City, Mo-,
telling of the killing of Charles W.
Moore. Harlan did the killing. The
dispatch seems to imply two things
that Mr.. Harlan is usually drunk, and
that if he had been in that condition
at the time of the murder he would
have been held innocent of all wrong
doing. They must have an original
system of justice at Jefferson City.
The consumption of unlimited whisky
apparently absolves citizen from liza
bility to punishment under the Grim
inal statutes. A gentleman who
thirsts for his neighbours life need
only to fill his system with stimu-
lants, whoop two or three times and
then go cunning. If he kills his man
the community will blame the whis-
ky and acQuit the marksman. Sa-
loon-keepers will find much to COM
mend in this theory, but it is hardly
fair to gentlemen of sanguinary in
stincts who don't like whisky. They
should, in justice, be allowed to load
up on morphine or hasheesh, in order
to claim the customary exemption.

cineration, which once for all pulver-
ICES all astrological evidence beyond
the possibility of restoration.

INVENTIVE genius has not stopped
with the pneumatic tire on the sulky
and bicycle, but has been busy with
the work of perfecting ball bearings
with such success that few days
since astreet car, VIII oh was equipped
with the latest inventions in ball
bearings, that would do away almost
entirely with friction, was drawn 8
distance of several hundred feet by a
single man Juggling gently at three
strands of ordinary sewing-thread at
tached to the car. Perhaps a more
interesting experiment was that Of a
carriage manufacturer, who put an
other style of ball bearings upon the
wheels of a large coach, to which
four horses were ordinarily hitched.
Then he took trained dog, and har-
messed and hitched him to the pole,
when the dog drew the huge coach
easily around the yard. This sounds
like fancy, but it is a fact.

Nor only the curious but the ludi-
crous spectacle is presented of British
merchants thanking the American
admiral at Rio Janeiro for what GER
tain British newspapers are ranting
and raving about. British merchant
vessels at Rio, suffering for water,
unattainable except by naval escort,
appealed jim vain to Britannia's
deputy wave-rulers. Necessity forced
them to supplicate relief from the
American commandant, and it was
promptly rendered. And now here
is sample of London newspaper
comment: 1T is the duty of Eng
land to demand an immediate
apology for Admiral Benham's extra
ordinary conduct.

Mr.. WALTER BEsANT, during his
stay in America, learned a fact or
two concerning the odoriferous onion,
which he\has recently made public
for the benefit of English girls in
general and ugly English girls in par
ticular. "If ugly girls, he remarks,
"will eat onions, they won't be ugly
any longer. Ugliness is often the re-
su t Of bad health alone. Health is
beautiful and onions are health
giving" They brighten the complex
ion, and consequently Tighten the
feminine heart "In America" says
the famous author, some of the best
people, particularly in literary and
academic circles, are not at home
even to their most intimate friends
on Sunday" They devote that day
to the consumption of the leek. Here
is a grand new feminine excuse. The
everlasting but convenient headache
may now yield to the health-giving
onion.

"A NEW argument in favor Of incin-
Grafton appears in the recent discOv-
ery that the Uranium of Pizarro, the
conQueror OF Peru has such peculi-
arities as to warrant scientists in
forming the lowest opinions of his
moral character. One bump pro-
claims him murderer; another, thief;
a ridge verifeS all the stories OF Las
Casas Of his crueltieS to Indians: a
hollow shows where his bump of
philanthropy fell in. His skull has
even the notorious "fosSa of Lom-
hroSo," which, says Mr. Rene
Bache. modern criminologists have
never discovered except in confirmed
and habitual enemies Of society.
The incident, interesting in itself,
illustrates the futility of the old saw
that dead men tell no tales. Obyi-
Dusly if a man values his posthumous
fame, he should find out about his
genealogical development during life,
and III the testimony OF his skull is
damaging, he should provide for in.

How DESPERATE a man

How DESPERATE a man becomes
when he is hungry and cold is well
shown by the recent situation in
Pittshurg. Because OF the great de-
mand for work there at 81 day, the
CITY Employment Committee issued
an order that only married men
should be employed. The unmarried
men were allowed to starye and
freeze-not, we suppose, on account
of any prejudice against celibacy in
the minds Of the officials, but for the
reason that at least two persons would
subsist on the proceeds of every dol
lar. Now mark the result: Without
the slightest hesitation every indi-
gent bachelor in Pittsburg grasped
the matrimonial horn of the dilemma
and unfaltering made haste to pro-
cure wife Even wedlock seemed
better than starvat on TO those dis
tracted men: brayely they SQUIRT
and c0urageously endured it. But
their courage was Is nothing 10 the
courage. yes, the herOiSm, OF the
women who consented to marry them
The women probably were neither

ONE of the sights of China is the
antique bridge Of Suen-tchen-fow,
$500 feet long and 20 feet wide. 1t
has on each side fifty-two piers, upon
which huge stones are laid, some of
them twenty feet long. Many thou
sand tons of stone were used in the
erection of this wonderful bridge,
which is regarded by engineers as in
dicating constructive talent as won
derful as that which raised the EgyD-

THE State of Florida is now
thanks to the decis on of Jackson
vile jury-the promised land of the
prize fighters. Thumper Corbett has
been acquitted of engaging in a
fight by previous arrangement" with
Tuumper Mitchell. The encounter
was purely accidental. That is, Mr..
Corbett, happening to stray into a
pavilion where several thousand peo-
pie were assembled, CHANGED to en-
counter Mr.. Mitchell, who was wan
dering aimlessly about, clad in pink
trunks and fighting shoes, and fell
upon him and beat him. That is the
nominal sense of the verdict OF
course everyone will know it's real
meaning. The people Of Jacksonville
made some money by reason Of the
crowds that flocked thither to see the
fight They have hopes Of getting
more fights and consequently more
money in the future. Therefore they
are willing to make justice a farce,
and a dozen of them have shown
their willingness to perjure them
selves in order that prize fighters
may not be frightened away by the
courts. The Jacksonvillians are a
frugal and thrifty race They will
manage to make ends meet if the
general public continues to patronize
the ring.
