Geographers are still vexed with the
difficulty of presenting truthfully to
the eye OF the pupn the relative areas
of the States of the Union. The New
England States, by reason of their
dense population, have long occupied
in the school biographies map space
quite out OF proportion to their area,
and few children leave school with any
clear notion that each of several Of
the smaller Southern States is about as
big as all New England put together.
If Texas were represented IN proper
ton to the space usually accorded to
Rhode Island in the school geogra-
phies, says the New York Sun, the
great Southwestern State must have to
itself a map fully yard square.

two years later. This worlds agitator

PETRIFIED FOREST.
People of Arizona Want the Land Set
Aside rs A puhlic Park.

A memorial from the legislative assembly
of Arizona has been presented TO congress re-
questing that the lands covered by the petri-
fled forest be withdrawn from entry until the
advisability of making a public park of it
can be settled. The lands are in Apache
County, are ten miles square, and, accord
ing to the memorial, are covered by trunks
OF trees. some of which measure over two
hundred feet in length and from seven to ten
feet in diameter. The Legislature represents
that ''ruthless curiosity seekers are destroy
ing these huge trees and logs by blasting them
to pieces in search for crystals, which are
found in the centre Of many of them, while
carloads of the limbs and smaller pieces are
being shipped away to be ground up for vari-
Gus purposes" To make it public park
would preserve the tract from vandalism and
injure no one, as there are no settlers upon it.

The Atlanta Constitution notes that
"hypnotism is now recognized not
only as a condition worthy of the at
tention of the scientists, but it is con-
sidered of sufficient Importance for
the courts to admit it as plea under
certain circumstances. Within the
past few months five hypnotists have
been tried tor the criminal misuse OF
their powers. In two of the cases 1t
was held that the persons hypnotlzed
were not responsible for their crimes,
and in one instance self-confessed
criminal was discharged, his hypno-
tizer was convicted and the judgment
was reversed by the Supreme Court.
We read every day of all sorts of hyp-
motto cases. Now it is girl hypno-
tized into shoplifting, again 1t Is q
rich woman hypnotized into mar
riage, and again we find murder
alleged TO be the outcome of this
mysterious influence. But it is posi-
BILE that the courts make a serious
mistake when they listen to the plea
of hypnotism. Where shall we draw
the line? There is danger of making
this plea so popular that whenever
Jones is arrested for crime he will
declare with tears in his eyes that he
was hypnotized by his neighbor Smith
and could not help himself. That IS
fine plea for an able'bodied man to
make, and yet it was sustained oy a
Kansas court in a murder case. we
believe that the safer way would be to
punish both the hypnotized and the
hypnotist. They are unsafe persons
to be at large. The victim is liable
to do as much m ischief as his strong
villed master. Until the matter Is
better understood the courts should
stick to their old-fashioned IDEAS
We cannot afford to turn host OF
criminals loose because they main
tain that they were under the lnfiu-
once Of magnetic persons who abso'
lrtelv controlled their actions"

al Warning to- Women.

We can bear with the woman of science,
And the devotee, too, of art.
On the follower after fashion
We cannot quite close our heart.
We can pardon, perchance, the weakness
OF the woman who always brags,
But we haven't mite of patience
With the awful woman who nags
The woman who scolds US soundly
At once and then 81 done,
Who wants her say and who says it
In spite Of every one
That woman may be terror
And butt for witty ways,
But we'd rather risk her temper
Than the awful woman who nags.
Oh, ye women wise, take warning,
If in peace with men you'd live,
If you'd keep their fond affections,
Sin the sins they can forgive.
If you're fretty, their allegiance
They'll transfer to other flags,
For home Is just a hades
Where an awful woman nags.
