ssCrime Among Animals" is tho sub ject of very interesting article in the December Forum. It makes one think of that deep-seated law of nature, from which there can be no release. .-tne law of retribution. There are people in d. most every community who, through E. n0rance, or want of moral training. or by reason of . low and defective organiza- are dispOsed to live In defiance of law and order; and apparently take . sort of pride in the violation of the rights and privileges of others. Such people seem, 70 those who wish to do right, to be de- flcient in moral sense, and eOmetimeo lacking in common. They seem to have no standaFd of right, and to be without any code of social and moral conduct. To get what they want AppeAfs to be the sum total of their creed. To get 1t fairly will perhaps do just a well, but to get 1t b the principal ching. To ges 1t and not suffer the inconvenience of conflict and sidefation. ssWrong is just as good a right if you succeed and do not get caught" they seem to say. "Every man for himself and the Devil for us all" is the motto of not few people, In the practical conduct of this life. "Brass is just as good a gold, if not better, 90 long as yJu can pass 1t" they will claim. '.Bluster and brow-beating will win the day if only you talk loud enough and long enough" they contend. s.There is no God, no law no government, no real principle of right or wrong only as the customs and conveniences of selflsh mortals seek to take advantage of each other, and he who gets the most out of It is the best fellow" Such are evidently the canons of conduct with certain vicious and criminal classes of she people. Hon. esty is only sham and pretence; cor rupti0n wins the day. It reminds one of that verse in the Book of Judges which says: 'sIn those 1ays there was no king in Israel, every man did that which was right in his own eyes" and social confusion reigned.
 But that there is law and order, and . principle of just retribution deep laid in the very foundation of the universe, even the example of the lover animale pay" sometime, somewhere, in some way, for all that you do, good or evil, ie a inevitable as can be. Tesse relates that: ssSome swallows had built their nests under the windows of the first floor of an uninhabited house in Merrion Square, Dublin. A sparrow took pos session of the nest, and in vain the un- fortunate swallows endeav0red to retain their hold upon 1t. They were forced to abandon the nest; but they returned with . band of their companions, each of whom vas provided with little lump of mud. The entrance to the nest was soon blocked up, and the intruder found himself . prisoner" The writer of the article referred to says: "All the phenomena of the human crime are found among the animal species, but on . smaller scale. The aninals are in . sense less criminal than men. Man ie. indeed, the most ferocious of all beings. The species which produces the greatest heroes cannot fail, on the other hand, to produce the greatest criminals. 10. o. Wright.

omits public lands. The number of dol
lars per inhabitant was $205 i'll 1920,
S514 i'll 1850 and $l,039 III 1890. Still,
there are three countries in Europe that
surpass us i'll this latter particular
namely, Great Britain with 81, 900 per
head, France with $l,l30 and Holland
with $l,0S0. They, III tho other hand,
represent The accumulations of many
generations, while ours is II new coun-
try.
The distributions of wealth in rural
and urban communities aud in different
parts of the country also furnish Mr..
Mulhall with interesting computations.
Here, too, are some interesting conclu-
sions, first in regard to railway lines
and then i'll regard TO houses:
The freight charge in 1900 averaged 90 cents
per ton per 100 miles, which Is less than huff

the American average is 81 per head.
The conclusion is that our country is
now 'by far the greatest productive
power in the world; - that the intel

of wealth averages 81, 600, 900 daily.

tiers TO tho Greatest Community on Earth.
Some Telling Statistics and Comparisons.
A Friendly Criticism.
In the current number Of The North
american Review Mr.. Michael G.. Null
hall, T. S. S., makes a study Of those
elements of power and wealth in the
United States which, us ho expresses it,
have "enahled a community of wood
cutters and farmers to become. in less
than 100 years, the greatest nation in
the world"
Mr.. Mulhall, n native of Ireland,
educated at the Irish college ut Rome,
has been of high repute for many years
rs a statistician. His experience in the
study of the strength and resources of
nations gives value to his present array
of facts and figures, and to his emphatic
declaration that "if we take u survey of
mankind in ancient or modern times. ms
regards the physical, mechanical and
intellectual force of nations, we find
nothing to compare with the United
States in this present year Of 1885,"
The units of power which lie employs
In his calculations are themselves inter
esting. The working power of an ablo-
bodied male adult, he tells us, is 800
loot tons daily; that Of u horse 5000,
while the standard of steam horsepower
is 4 1000. Tho foot ton is that amount of
power which, if concentrated and APP
piled, could raise n ton the height of "a
foot. Taking this basis, Mr., Mulhall
finds the working power of the United
States to be approximately as follows ut
various dates:

Here we gee that the United States possess
almost as much energy as Great Britnin,
Sorlnany and France collectively, and tIint
tho ratio failing to each American Is moro than
what two Frenchinen or Germans have at their
disposal. Moreover, tho military armnincuts
which keep III forced idlencss 1000, coo men in
Europe are happily unknown in the United
states. 1t is not merely that Europcan nations
are deprived of the labor. skill and cYertions
OF 100000 men in the prime OF life, they
have also TO set apart i,G00, 900 workers of the
agricultural and industrial classes to feed and
ciothe the standing armies and dcfray the
cost OF artillery, war vessels, etc. Thus the
average OF productive energy in France. Ger.
many, England, etc, is much less thnn appears
IN the above statement.
Again, IN the labor saving appliances
OF the United States he sees tho perfoct-
ing OF machinery; the reaping machine,
Tor example, commonly used in the
western states, will cut and bind grain
at the rate of 40 minutes per acre" AN
ordinary farmland in the United States.
says MI. Mulhall, thanks TO these mech
anical appliances, raises as much grain
as three hands do in England, four in
France, five in Germany and six in Aus
sria- Reducing all farm products to IA
grain standard by supposing ten pounds
OF meat or two gallons Of wine to be
equal to a bushel, he finds the number
OF bushels of grain per hand raised in
the United States to be 475 in the Unit
ed Kingdom, 22S; in France, 1888; in
Germany, 11S; in Italy, 115; in Aus
tria, 81.
Yet again he quotes Mr.. Atkinson as
knowing that in America the labor of
one man in 500 days in the year is
equivalent to the production of $500
pushels OF wheat, while that of three
other men represents the cutting, thrash
ing, milling and transporting to mar
ket. Thus four men carry to the bakers
Hour for q thousand persons, at "a

whereas IN Europe one man feeds only
80 persons;" and little improvement
In Europe can be expected, because SO
many people there consider that labor
saving appliances are an evil, and that
the o persons there are employed in
doing any given work the better.
Passing to other matters, Mr.. Null
hall declares that 'the intellectual now
