Laws Are Made Only for Those Who Are

Following Is an extract from the ed
itorial columns of an English paper,
which would be good thing for some
OF our American scorchers to paste in
their hats:
criminal liability for the reckless
riding of bicycle was visited with a
sentence of four months hard labor in
the recent English case of Regin
against Parker, which was tried at
Lewes assizes. The defendant was
charged In an indictment with man.
slaughter and also for furiourly driv-
Ing carriage or vehicle contrary to
section IS of the offenses against the
person act of 1861. The sentence was
imposed upon plea of guilty to the
second Indictment, This plea was &C
cepted, although the prosecution con.
sidered that a conviction for man
slaughter would be supported. The
Law Journal quotes Mr.. Justice Haw-
kins as saying that the counsel for the
prosecution had very mercifully asked
only for conviction on an Indictment
TO which the prisoner was ready to
plead guilty, and that he was glad that
some one had thought fit to put the law
In motion and let those who are care
less and reckless of the lives of others
know that they were punishable by the
law The Justice also said that man
OF woman who rides bycicle is bound
to conduct 1t with care and caution,
and no more entitled to ride recklessly
and furionsly than to drive cart at
furious pace through the street.
Claws or ordinances on this subject,
as on all others, are made only for
those who are either mentally or NOR.
ally deficient, and not for those who
are intelligent and conscientious enough
not to need them. The interesting and
innocent party, who for time whereof
the memory of man runneth no, to the
contrary, has been carrying a gun and
ala not know 1t was loaded has now
exchanged 1t for wheel, and his works
do follow him. His victim is often a

W. II. Eddy of Bayonne, n. J., an
authority on aerial experiments, declared
that Lamson's achievement was the
greatest step toward solving the problem
of aerial navigation.
Mr.. Lamson built his airship aftei
llargrave's general plan, but added i'm.
provements of his own to make 1t more
manageable in the enlarged form. The
passenger, by manipulating lever, can
keep the airship on an even keel, make
it rise or fall, and direct its course In
coming down. Lateral steering can be
accomplished by changing the weight
to either side of the center, the aerial
vessel then turning toward the side
where the weight is greatest.
Each pair of wings is like that of a
bird. There are also ribbed fore and
aft, and covered so that the stream of
AIR can have its full lifting affect, follow
ing the curve from front to rear and
preventing all shaking or tapping of
the fasric.
A heavy windlass loaded with sand
bags held the two thousand feet of cord
when being operated. All that was
necessary to launch. the airship was to
raise IFS forward end little and take a
short run, which causes the kite to
mount up in the air like balloon.
Mr.. ,Lamson was disappointed at the
collapse of the rope, but was pleased at
THE success of the experiment. He sad

The police commissary is, however,
very far from believing in any super

so because no voice was heard while he
and his policeman occupied the house
