All can notice that. The criminal law
and it's administration has rather fallen
into disgrace. That is especially true
of the large cities of the country. All
must agree that 1T is more important to
protect a mans life than it is his prop

the assassin fires into his house and
takes away his life, is that not n greater
deprivation than TO deprive him of his
horse or his cow. or even of all the other
property which he possesses? Now
why is this the case? 1t is largely be-
cause of the corrupt methods resorted

because courts of justice look to the
shadow in the shape of technicalities

book, THE Gold Diggings of Cape

thor's, during journey from the Strait
of Magellan up the coast, stopped under

that he saw protruding. The relic
proved to be part of n mastodon's lower
jaw, with two teeth still in place. As it
was in bad condition he was about to
throw it away, when he saw in split in
the top and side of one tooth n bit of
some foreign substance. This turned

lieves, must have been deposited in fine

a NEW RECORD.


Deepest Spot In the Ocean Nearly Six
Miles,
For20 years or more the deepest spot in
the ocean has been supposed to be to the
northeast of japan, says fhe New York
journal. There the bottom lies 1858
fathoms down, or more than five miles
beneath the surface of the waves.
In the latest photographers report of
admiralty surveys, made by the British
government, this ocean record, which
has stood so long. is beaten, for there is
official information of deeper sound
ing than has hitherto been made. The
deepest spot in the ocean. so far as
known at present. has been found to be
in the ncighborhood of the Friendly and
kermadee islands, in the Southern Pa
cific. Here the maXimum depth is
5.15j fathomS, or close upon six miles
The observation, made by the officers
on board the British ship Penguin, is all
the more interesting for the fact that it
bears out the result of previous re-
searches, showing curiously enough as
it does that the deepest parts of the sea
are not far from land.
Deep-sea sounding has come of late
years an exact science in itself. One GU
rious feature of it. and one which is lit
tie known. is that the leads" used have
to he constructed with especial strength
in order to Withstand the enormous
pressure of the mass of water which
bears down upon them when they lie
upon the bottom. So great is this pres
sur,. that the sounding apparatus in
ordinary use would be crushed.

SIAM SAPPHIRE MINES.
Value of Their Product Is In the Quantity
Not Qualify.

MOI
The pailin mines are spread over an
area six miles by two, and consist of 13
mining villages, the chief OF which are
Saw Taxa and Baw Dineo. These two
are more than four miles apart. but
they are joined by an excellent road cut
through the forest and well drained.
Sapphires. says the London Times, are
found all over this district; the whole
countryside is riddled with holes sunk
in the red soil down to the sapphire
layer. Formerly the stones were found
quite near the surface, but those places
have long since been exhausted, al
though the Burmese still continue to
turn over the old heaps in the firm con-
victiOn that precious stones grow. Now
the stones are found al depth of from
- to - feet. in a reddish. gravelly layer
of varying thickness up to Is inches
The pit sunk is usually some five feet
in diameter and either square or cir
cular. Soil is raised in bamboo bask-
cts. attached to the end of a balanced
lever. and when the sapphire layer Is
reached the stratum is carried 10 the
nearest water and washed carefully for
stones. Not more than one shaft IN
three pays for it's working expenses. bur.
when the sapphire layer is struck the
profits may be large indeed. 1t is all

a dancing Lizard

One of the interesting little animals
that live in far-away Australia is the
dancing lizards. known scientifically
as the cblamydosaurus kinCi. The
queer reptile is about three feet in
length and wears a collar of bright red,
yellow and blue mixture. He gets his
name from the collar and is called the
frilled lizard. He is not a bit pretty
and has way of jumping around that
gives one peculiar fright if one comes
upon him suddenly. Although this
frilled chap has four legs he seems tn
like walking and dancing upon his hind
legs better than travelling upon all
fours. He is as quick as lightning in
his movements and lives upon the in

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The air. after a heavy snowfall, is
usually very clear, because the snow,
in falling, brings down with it most of
the dust and impurities and leaves the
atmosphere exceedingly clear.
1t is estimated that the drought
in New South Wales has caused the loss
of 9,5OO,OO0 sheep. This catastrophe,
together with the consequent reduction
in the number of lambs in the next
breeding season, will make 4 great diff
ference to the supplies of mutton and
wool for this year and the next.
After analyzing various qualities

academy of science that the common
belief that fine white bread has less

is wrong, as both the fine and coarse
breads contain practically the same
amounts of gluten and of phosphates-

AT the recent meeting of the Royal
society in London, 4 pendulum instru-
ment was exhibited, intended to record
the slightest tits and pulsations of the
crust of the earth. 1t was asserted
that this instrument would render OBJ
servable n tilt of less than one three

words, if a plane surface were tipped
up only so little that the rise would
amount to single inch in 1000 miles.

1t is well known that the kpa or
mountain parrot. of New Zealand. has
become notorious from it's change of
habit. from living on insects, fruit AMI
berries, to attacking living sheep. being
reported to have developed this carniv-
orous habit within the last 30 years.
1t appears. however, from further first
hand observations by T. White. that
the kea lives high up on the mountains
long distance above the forest line,
where there are no berries or fruit. and
only lichens and a few insects occur.
