Regarding tho criminal as regarding
everything else, we are no longer re-
stricting ourselves to mOralizing and
specializing and consulting the opinions
of the Hebrew prophets and the me-
diaeval saintl, but we have begun study
ing him. And our fundamental discOv-
cry is one at least as old as Solomon
namely, that the criminal is q fool.
The ancient discoveries Of a truth, how
ever, generally differ from the modern
discoveries of the same truth III the fact
that they Spread it OVER less ground.
Our revolutionary discovery regard
ing the criminal is that, in our times
at least, he is intellectually a fool. In
the good old times he was merely NOR
ally fool. The fact that honesty is the
best policy, though ftfully implied
through the Bible, seems to have had
very little effect till after the reforma
ton and not to have been definitely put
on record before Cervantes. But the
growing realization Of the fact and
perhaps the growing incOnveniences Of
being dishonest have, aided by host
of other agencies. brought the world to
a stage where, roughly speaking, only
the fools condescend to be criminal.

During carnival time in some parts of
South America there is q general revolt
against nature in Withholding rain the
greater part of the year. Water is
showered from the balconies and house
tops with wanton extravaganza, all
classes joining in the frolic. I was in
Lima during one OF these periods of jolli-
fcation and found that there was not a
street where one could be secure from
these watery attacks. In all parts Of the
town passersby were treated to a shower
bath, and toward evening the sport in
creased IN intensity, every successful
delivery Of dipper OF bucket being
greeted with shouts Of laughter. All
classes met with the same reception.
Roughly dressed men sauntering along
the street would on meeting q richly
dressed lady dash a cup of water, which
they held concealed behind their backs,
straight IN the lady's face. The ladies
attacked in this way would merely smile
grimly and pass on. I saw hundreds Of
men and women showered in this way,
but in no instance were the least signs
of resentment or anger displayed st

A Maine lumberman says the wild
lands Of this state would make 8 states
as large as Rhode Island, two as large
as New Hampshire and Vermont and
one twice as large as Massachusetts,
These lands are located in the following
counties: Aroostook, 2, SIS, 6I8 acres;
Franklin, $50, 962 acres; Hancock, 362, =
S93 acres; Oxford, 553, 654 acres; Pc

?, 600, A acres; Somerset, 1,735, S3S
acres; Washington, 624, 123 acres. The
spruce timber lands Of Maine are worth
more today than the pine lands were 90
years ago This statement Is based on
the opinion Of 1umbermen who have
been engaged in the business for 10
years The value of these spruce lands
has been greatly enhanced by the enor-

Every. one has read and heard chat .
peacock's feet are ugly, and that the
bird is so conscious Of it that it invar1a-
bly, tries to hide them when it finds that
it i observed. This belief is not Of
modern origin, for it is to be found IN
ancient writings and in wOrlEs IS old as
the classical Greek and Latin and IN
old fables. It has been recorded as an
archaeological truth by writers from
time inmem0rial, and even at the pres
emit day it is to be found in books that
are considered standard works on natural
history This constant reiteratlOn OF
something that has no foundation in fact
is simply an illustration of how some
writers will take as an accepted fact
the assertions of some other writers who
have gone before them and not exercise
their own Judgment and eyes The as
sertion that peacocIs have ugly feet Is
arrant nonsense, as any one can see if
they viii examine the next bird they
see. The feet ara slightly larger than
those Of q turkey. but are well proper
toned and small for the sizs Of the
bird
The popular misconception regarding
this bird s feet undoubtedly arose from
the fact that the peacock being by ma
ture a wild bird. is apt to drop its beau
tifrl fan tail to the ground behind him
and scuttle away rs rapidly as possib bic.
The dropping Of the tail, Of course hides
the feet, and the impression is conveyed
TO the ignorant or minimizing that the
bird is trying to hide his feet.-S

Amber is the gum Of a confer, but
of what species no one knows. Tt be-
longed to the first period Of vegetation
of the earth No one knows in what
climate these trees grew, and no fossil
traces Of them are left for the geOlogist.
1t is not Improbable that they produced
amber and were stately trees millions of
years ago. DR.. r. Klebs Of KOnigsberg,
the highest authority on this subject in
the world, says there are 2, OoO different
varieties of insects found imprisoned in
amber, and this gives rs q pretty cor
rect idea of the fauna in the remote age
in which they lived They give US be-
sides evidences of that period of which
we have no other trace. 1t is very in
teresting to compare these insects with
those now existing, rs the common fly.
for example. Others, again, are entirely
different, showing extinct species. DR..
Kleb's theory IS that the amber was car
ried to East Prussia during the glacial
epoch and imbedded IN the blue earth
where it is found. This blue earth is q
very heavy clay, and the strata vary IN
thickness from to ~ feet. DR.. Klebs
considers that this imbedding process
occurred ia what geOlogists term the
tertiary period. -Philadelphia Bulletin
