An Extraordfnar Increase In the
Consumption Of Liquor In Late
Years.
There has been an extraordinary In
crease of late in the consumption or
alcoholic liquors in Belgium. says the
New York Evening Post. This fact
was brought out very clearly In a dis
cussion on the subject which occurred
recently in the chambers. NJ. Lejune.
former minister of Justice. declared
that the nation was reverting to q
new form Of barbarism which could;
only be described by the term alc0-
holic barbarism. From statistics fur
nished by him, 1t appears that the
revenue from the excise, which,
amounted to 4,OOO.O coo francs In 1861.
has now reached the total Of 33,OOO.-
coo; that during the same period the
number Of public houses has increAs-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000, and that the
annual consumption of spirits Is ut
the rate OF II litres per adult. His
figures show also that from 1851 to.
1883 criminality increased at the rate
OF 200 per cent. and insanity at thu.
rate Of 13S per cent, and that Of every
100 deaths among the male portion Of
the community eighty can be traced
to alcoholic causes NJ. Lejune At
tributes this disastrous state OF things.
to two causes The first Is the insuf-
ficiency Of the food procurable by the
working classes and the second tn.
poisonous quality Of the spirits pur.
chased by them.

Criminals In Sing Sing have been known

outside. BfibIng the 0nderkeepers would
be one way, but the system is TOO general
Ito be worked In that fashion. Escape0.
are always planned and carried ont through
the underground method.
most extraordinary instance Of this sort
occurred In 1893, when PAllister and Roshls
made their escape from the death house,
where the guard is most strict. These two
condemned men had received no special
favor from the prison management. They
were constantly under observation and.
they were in that part OF the prison where
the watch is most strict. They were aro-
fully searched and so far IS the guards
knew they held no communication with
any but those permitted by the prison Ye9u-
latiOns.
Que stormy night they made their es-
cape and 1t was q success. Two bOdies
were found in the Hudson River Some
days later and they were identi fed rs the
bOdies Of Pallister and ROehl. In the
opinion of men who knew something about
the prison their escape was the result OF D.
prearranged plan, and 1t included not only
the two most conspicuous actors in 1t. but
their friends outside the prison. All the
circumstances pointed to outside aid, and
in order that such assistance might bo eff
~fective. PalIister aud Roehl must have
communicated their plans to the men who.
assisted them.
No clew has ever been discovered rs to-.
how this wa done. This is only n In
stance OF many where underground letters
have done their work. The faculty OF COM
municatiOn is Of the most value to the cOn-
wet and the greatest worry to the guards
in planning escapes.

Amendment Providing Exam

Warren's Great Work in the Senate
The Question of the Storage of
Waters-COIOrado and Wyoming the
Beneficiaries.

Washington, May I2.-Toward the
close of the consideration of the river
and harbor bill, Senator Warren, of Wy.
oning, aroused considerable interest in
the discussion by springing an amend
ment providing that engineers TO the
war department be authorized to make
examinations in Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado, and report to congress whether
or not it was practicable and desirable
20 impound the rivulets or streams from
the mountains during the spring fresh
cts, turning thse waters into reservoirs,
and thus at the same time prevent ero-
sion of the banks of the Missouri and
Mississippi rivers in the spring time,
and store these waters for the benefit of
arid lands in these states.
In explanation of his amendment,
Warren said it mad been suggested by
the controversy between Senators Vest.
of Missouri, and Gallery, of Louisiana,
as to the merits of Captain Eads' system
of levees on the lower Mi.sissippi. Mr..
Warren eontended that the best way
to prevent overflow and erosion of the
banks of these navigable rivers was to
impound the waters at the fountain
heads. This would serve a two-fold
purpose; first, prevention of erosion and
overflow of navigable streams; and, sec
ond, it would store the water in natural
reservoirs for use on arid lands. The
senator's from Montana, Idaho, Kansas,
Utah and Nebraska, one after another
moved that their states be included also,
Chairman Frye remarked
ne would raise the point of order if there
was to be no limit of states named
Wolcott finally came to Warren's res
cue and said that if Senator Warren's |
was to be endangered he, |
or one, would withdraw Colorado from |
he provisions Of the amendment. The |
enators from Kansas and Nebraska did
likewise, but Ves- then raised the point
# order that irrigation matters were not
,ermane to river and harbor bill.
Mr.. Allison took the floor and made a
trong argument. He said that if any
eference to irrigation was left out, it
would be germane and cited precedents
a support of his contention.
Mr.. Warren agreed to eliminate the
5ord irrigation" and the amendment
,as adopted
Mr.. Warren was warmly congratu-
tied on the success of his efforts. He
cells that he has accomplished big
hing for his state.

his accounts were short to the extent of
$4,000. After two weeks search he
was located in the Washington home,

The officers of the society have been

and have become alarmed at the conse-

young generation of bicycle riders. A
baby strapped on the front of wheel
must needs stand the brunt of shock
when collision occurs, asd is helpless
when danger arises. But that is only
one of the least objections raised Med

Bicycles More Dangerous than Guns.

According to Cleveland Moffett, who
has made close and interesting analy-
sis; the manufacture of the modem BIZ
cycle presents one of the most complex
and delicate problems known in engi-
neering-a problem more difficult of So
luton than the construction of bridge,
a locomotive or twenty story building
The reason is that what science calls the
"factor of safety" is lower in a bicycle
lower than in almost any other me-
chanical product, and is growing still
lower every year as the machines are
made lighter. In high pressure guns the
"factor of safety" is often as great as
twenty, which means that the guns are
made twenty times as strong as theo-
retically necessary for the strain they
must bear. In ordinary guns the "factor
of safety" is twelve, in boilers it is about
six, in bridges it is usually FIVE, and in
almost every construction or machine it
is at least four, these wide margins of
extra strength being considered neces-
ssry as an offset to errors in theoretical
computations or defects in construction
and material.
