Secretary Morton declares that the
plow has been less improved than any
other agricultural implement, and
that it packs down the burrows it
turns over, making them impervious
to rainfall. He regards this matter of
such importance that he has Chan

University, to ask the 1000 students of
that institution to try to invent a new

There are some things about the
felony record Of the police depart
ment which do not appear upon the
surface. Thus the number Of arrests
and prosecutions for bigamy are four
times more numerous among men
than among women. If novelisJs
are to be believed, duplicity and de-
ceit are much oftener characteristic
of women than of men. Yet for the
statutory legal crime of false pre-
tenses there were no arrests among
women in the last quarter, and it is
fondly to be hoped that there was
no occasion for any.
The homicide record of the last
quarter was not so large as usual. 1t
included thirty-four male and four
female prisoners. There were no ar
rests for murder, and it is very rare
in New York that woman is charged
with that offense, in its highest
grade, though the victims of pre-
murderous assaults are in
the great majority, of cases women,
not men.

row OF the Fair Sex Among New
York's Prisoners.
In the official reports made by the
Police Department a separate record
is kept of the felonies. These form o
relatively small percentage when
compared with the total number OF
arrests, and peculiar thing about
them is that very few women are
among the prisoners. According to
the official report OF the last quarter,
OF 1,6S1 arrests in New York for
felonies only 90 were women, while
1,5S9 were men.
OF the ninety-two women, fifty
more than half-wero charged with
crime of larceny; fourteen were
charged with an offense which is
made felony by statute, attempted
suicide; eight were charged with
felonious assault, usually against an
other woman; three with burglary,
one with bigamy, one with perjury,
and one with forgery, rale among
women.
