Water Pipes to Hold Corvicts.

a new idea III Jail construction has
recently been successfully tested in
Boston. In brief the scheme is to con-
struct the cells of hollow pipes and fill
them with water. When a pipe is sew
cred the water escapes, and by a sys-
TEN of registers in the Office OF the Jail
the fact IS made known as we'll as the
particular cell where the pipes have
been attacked
No attempt is made TO have the pipes
particularly hard. Common gas pipe
is as good as any and will answer every
purpose. The water is kept under a
a high pressure so that it will be sure to
give the alarm when the pipe is sew
cred.
Under the usual system Of j1il con-
struction it is aimed TO make the bars
50 hard that saws viii! not affect them;
or at best, s. hard that cutting would
be slow process. Bat conv.cts in jalls
are as clever as men who construct
Jail cells, and methods have been dis
covered for taking the temper ont of
the hardest steel. Nitric acid viii do

flame Of the latter is kept for several
days close against bar Of chilled steel
it will be made 50 soft that common
steel saw will Gu, it. Solid steel plates
have been eaten with acids and escape
made possible. The filling Of hollow
pipes with water seems to be a good
idea.

From out the regions Of Inky ni2ht.
Noting darkened hours and brilliant days;
Finding pleasant paths and sorro" ways
Within its influential rays

Notes the welcome smile, the falling tear,
AT birth and bridal, tomb and bier;
RecItes alike OF grief and pam,
Or tells Of joy in glad refrain
OF song.
1t argues, urges, pleads and prayS
Mankind to walk in VISIONS ways,
TO shun the paths Of errors maze;
Good council gives to age and youth
Loved and revercd when truth,
The press.
All honor when it takes its aim
End turns its guns on sin and shame
In darkened ways Of wrong and blame.
When it firmly stands in the pains u
Looking well TO distance, object and sight
Oh. a marvellous thing j. the press. we
know
We find its products wherever we 90
AS it rattles away at pace not SLOW.
In telling the world what the world ,

It's wonderful genius for finding out

The legend is good as far as it goes
But it sometimes smells out more than ii

As To what we should do without the press
We may not discuss or attempt to guess,
There would need to be drawn up tor bat
