During all this time the princess had not
SCRUBBED to take advantage of the Mexican
greed for gold. and General Dia2 ordered
her to leave the country forthwith. The
officer who delivered the order had a car
riage in waiting and an escort to see her
safe to the seacoast. Although the eXecu-
TONER had begun his work upon suspected
enemies of Mexico and the princess friends
warned her that her course was tempting
fate, she bluntly refused to abandon the
chance of saving the emperor and her nus
band Diaz then sent her to General Esco-
bedo, the cruel commander whose army
surrounded MaXimilian's refuge mt Quere-
taro. The belief was then universal in
Escobedo's camp that Queretaro would i@il
in few days. the act of treachery which
would bring it about having already been
bargained for Escobedo granted the
princess her liberty and there was nothing
to do but wait. At last Queretaro fell and
the emperor, with his staff, was captured
and imprisoned. After the verdict of death
had been pronounced the princess was per-
mitted to see her husband and MaXimilian
in prison, and she at once began to plot

so far succumbed to the fair American that
he promised to spare her husband in any

1t Is well known fact that cat usually
falls on its feet. This may be proved by
taking cat and dropping it from various
heights. That il should fall on its feet is
not due to luck, but to well defined prin-
ciple of mechanics.
When you hold cat with its feet upper
most, the back will be observed to curve
outward But as soon as you let go the
animal turns over in the air and curves the
body inward, thus displacing the center of
gravity so that the fall is made on all tours

Is There Another Continent?

The discovery of America was the
last great continental discovery to be
made: and it is now very generally be-
Eeved that the whole inhabitable pOr-
tiOn of the earth is geographically
known. and future glory in that specified
line of discovery is not to be hoped for.
However, as we are all entitled to Opin-
ions, and the freedom of thought, posi-
bly, | may be excused for deviating
somewhat from the general belief and
advancing my personal theory upon
this subject.
The mariners compass was first
known to the Chinese: it was first des-
cribed in a Chinese dictionary, A. ID. 121:
but in 1912 when Columbus sailed from
Spain with his expedition which re-
vealed to Europe the fact that America
was born. the detection or arrangement
of the compass on approaching the
equator was not understood by that
great navigator, and consequently
caused considerable uneasiness and
superstition among his sailors. Since
the days of Columbus. however, science
has come to our relief and demOnstra-
ted the fact that the equator being the
dividing line between the two cold re-
gions, it places the atmosphere at that
point in equipOise; that is, an equally
cold region being on each side of this
dividing line, places the atmosphere at
the equator In state of equal balance;
therefore, no attraction exists to direct
the compass needle. hence its detection
as the heat at the equator and the cold
at the arctic and antarctic regions com
bine to form the magnetic attraction.
Again, we approach one of the poles;
when we reach about Seventy-eight de-
grees of north or south latitude, we find
the compass again deranged because we
are nearing the dividing line Of the two
warm climates and the atmosphere be-
comes, as it were, once more in status
quo, there is nothing to attract the mag
netic needle, having arrived at the
eliminating point of the cold region be-
yOnd which warmer climate must
necessarily exist. The truth of this
statement is often demonstrated by
the fact that tropical plants and shrubs
are often driven by the sea upon the
coasts of Siberia, and also upon the
northern coast of Iceland Many of
these plants have been declared by bot
anists to be of an unknown species but
of tropical nature. We find also that
bits of limbs and trunks of trees have
been washed up on the same shores, all
showing the same tropical origin.
Again, after reaching the eightieth de-
gree, north latitude, we find that the

INEQUALITIES of the Law.

There are some crimes for which, uh-
der the the present existing laws, there
is no adequate punishment provided.
We speak more particularly of the
crime of seduction. We hear only too
often of men being sent to prison to
serve terms ranging from one to ten
years for the theft of a few dollars, but
the man who plans the ruin of an in
nocent and confiding woman is seldom
brought to the bar of human justice.
Men will cry "stop thief! !" and clamOr
for Justice when their pockets are
picked, but the victim of mans unhOly
lust will bear her shame in silence or
seek oblivion in dishOnOred grave.
Even when she does enter complaint
against her betrayer, the evil-dOer can
stop all further proceedings and save
his precious body from the discom-
forts of prison. and his name from
the stigma of ''convict," by simply do
ing what honor and justice should have
prompted him to do without the inter
vention of the law; that is, to render
tardy Justice to the wronged woman by
giving her the legal right to bear his
name. Robbery, where no violence is
offered, seldom proves an irrepairable
injury even when it leaves the man who

Modern Crimiuality.

There are two forms of criminality,
atavic and evOlutional. Atavic crimi-
nality is the return of certain individu
ais, whose physiological and psycholog
ical constitution is morbid to such
means of the struggle for existence as
civilization has suppressed, such as
murder, robbery, etc. Now the natural
forces which Impelled men to battle in
this sanguinary manner have not entire
ly ceased to act upon humanity: they
still act, and excite men to certain an
tagonisms, which occupy the entire life
of almost all humankind. excepting
only those who, possessing superior
moral sense, refuse to become entangled
in self interested struggles, even if this
course of action costs them some trOu
BILE. But the means of the struggle
have changed through the influence of
civilization: these were formerly force
and violence: they are tOday fraud and
astuteness No one can deny that an
immense number of theftS are commit
ted every day. of which the law takes
no cognizance: that human cupidity
finds means of satisfying itself, even
if it does not employ the sword or poi
son. which sometimes makes one won
der with horror, if all human progress
is not menaced with failure.
This is the transformation of savage
criminality among civilized people. 1t
is TODAY normal condition of exist
ence that this battle of aStuteneSS has
replaced the war of the muscles. For
as long as the present social conditions
last, no human power will be able to pre-
vent men from stealing from each other,
just as it is impossible to keep men liv
ing in state of barbarOus anarchy from
killing each other From this point of
view all modern humanity is imbued,
to some extent, with evolutionary Grim
inality Those, however, who form that
criminaity, which | call evOlutiOnal,
are the men who. endowed with a great
er talent or favored by a too prosperous
fortune, push that battle of intrigue and
deceit to mOnStrOuS excess, which
makes it too great danger to all modern
society. These, in reality, only employ
to great extent the means of enriching
themselves that all the world uses on
small scale: but their action, on account
of the excessive development which
they give to the means of the struggle
for existence, should be considered as
abnormal and. therefore, punishable,
while the same means, applied on
small scale, are entirely normal, and,
although our moral sense feels them
unworthy, remain unpunished: for law
would be pOwerless and even unjust to
injure them. Those who make use of
the means that society has given them
without annoying the social life more
than others are evidently only using
too much to the effects of punishment;
they are the product of our customs and
will always be found so long as our
customs remain unchanged Review

A BRIEF TALE.
By SHORN POET.

BY SHORN POET.
1t was Sir Thomas Kitty Cat,
Nimble-limbed and sleek and fat.
Who prOwled around the back yard fence
With beaming eyes of fire intense;
Tuning his Tyre in Phrygian mood,
AS if Oh urgent measures bent,
His musical soul forthwith he sent.
TO agOniZe the neighbOrhOOd
You should have seen him hump his back
When canine TriX got on his track;
His eyes like bastions fringed with fire
Beheld his feline-cOncert choir.
Assembled there in voices prime:
While TriXie'S teeth like rapiers cleaned.
And fur and gore and melody streamed.
About the hours OF midnight time.
From bedroom windows, through the air
Game souvenirs from every where.
From walking-sticks. boot jacks and rugs.
To latherng brushes and shaving mugs.
Triple bOb-ma jor'd by Turkish mats;
AS DER adjacent fences high,
Sir Tom to climb in vain did try.
In company with nine other cats.
You should have viewed that scene distressed
Made hideous more by folks half dressed.
Who urged the fierce c0mbatantS on
Unheeding they, the breaking dawn.
And betting on which side would beat
Just as the night to dawn did yield,
Victorious TriX walked from the field
With little tail now obsolete.
In unrecOrded history past.
A written page is here at last
Telling in part the reasons why.
The two breeds pass each other by
With looks of deep malevOlence:
BY modes of reasoning. Sir Toms friends,
Still think their progeny depends.
On prowlng round some backyard fence.
On concert nights around they sit.
And sing this tale: and. yet admit
That little TrX with tail so brief.
Should knighted be. Sir Canine Chief.
And eulOgieS should never lack;
His glory through all time will blend.
How. of Sir Tom he made an end
The only cat that never came back.
