The experience of James Mckay. g.

motives are sometimes subject to gross

dence of his guilt made the Obvious ex-
phantom that the numbers on the SIip
of paper referred to hymns Eat were

1t is overpoweringly depressing to
hear that Gibraltar Is no longer in
vincible, If not practically defenseless.
The Governor Of the rock Sir Rob
ert Biddulph, says that the garrison
could be shelled out of it with ease
now by the Spaniards, and special
commission has been appointed to hear
his report and devise means for reforti-
Tying within a year. BY the aid Of
the. modern long-range guns and pro-
Jectiles Of great penetration, with which
Spain has been equipping her batteries
at Algeciras, six miles away across
Gibraltar Bay, the once unapproach-
able has been brought within reach.
and the impregnable has been made
vulnerable. England can refortify.
and, of course, will, but the peculiar
strength of this historic spot has dis
appeared, and it is on the same basis
of defense as other exposed eminences.
The world would little mourn if En-
gland should be dislodged from this
vantage, even by her rival robber
Spain, but fancy would repine at the
shattering of its immemorial idol, and
language would sustain a severe loss
in the destruction of the term ''impreg.
nable as Gibraltar"

The press of Bolivia is much eXciIeu
over the reports that Peru is making
formidable efforts in the ways of arm
ing" and urges the Bolivian Govern
ment to bestir itself and get ready
for possible war This seems to be
an unnecessary expense at this time.
These South American wars do not
call for the formalities that are com
mon in European contests. If Peru is
bent on war with Bolivia it can go
ahead and hold its war and not bother
Bolivia with the project, especially if
Bolivia doesn't happen to feel like in
dulging in a war now. Bolivia need
not know anything about it if the press
will only keep quiet until the war is all
over and not even then, unless it chooS-
es to go to the trouble to ascertain the
details. Peru could enjoy it's war for
the customary period Of about week,
and then wait until Bolivia Is given a
chance at its leisure to hold a war to
even things up. The mere detail of
"arming for the fray" is superfiuous,
for it isn't that kind Of a fray. No
body is ever injured in these wars,
which are like our national holidays,
only more frequent

Prof. G. Stanley Hall, of Clark UuI-
versity, has been collecting facts con-
cerning the fears Of children. The fears
of children, he says. are generally Gre
ated by parents. Prof Hall found that
1,101 children had 6,456 fears. the lead
ing ones being the fear of lightning
and thunder, reptiles, strangers. the
dark, death, domestic animals, disease,
wild animals. water, ghosts, insects,
rats and mice, robbers. high winds etc.
A few Of these fears are rational. In
New Jersey no children were found to
be afraid of high winds. but in the
West that fear naturally leads all 9TH
ens. At Trenton. however sixty-two
children We're found who dreaded the
end of the world. a fear created entire

devil Two hundred years ago and less
that fear would have led all the rest.
Few were found who were afraid Of
ghosts. fear which would have stood
high on the list not long ago. At Cam
bridge, Mass. only 155 out of 500 boys
We're afraid of thunder storms and only
$50 oat of 500 girls. The fear Of rob-
bers and of wild animals is a survival.
though robbers have not disappeared
as completely as the wild animals. For
ty-six New Jersey children were afraid
of being buried alive. a monstrous
thing to inculcate in the child mind.
Fear will always be one of the strong
est influences in human life. but at
least it is possible by teaching what
real danger consists of to eradicate

Storage Battery Cars in Europe.

American street railway companies
cannot, as rule, be accused of want
of enterprise, and they have spent a
great deal of money in experimenting,
or what is practically experimenting,
on new systems of tractiOn-mOStly
electrical. Just now. however. in the
matter of the storage battery. they are
letting the other man do the expert
menting, and are watching carefully
the outcome of the activity which is
going on in the installation of accumu-
lator cars in Europe. In Hanover. where
combination system of trolley and ac-
cumulatOrS is employed. sixty cars have
been equipped with batteries and
eighty more are TO be installed by next
spring. The batteries are charged froE-
the trolley line outside the city limits
sufficient to carry the cars without the
aid of the trolley within those limits
In Dresden thirty storage battery ears
are running and fifteen more are to be
put on shortly. Here. also. the cars are
run by the trolley outside. and by stOr-
age battery inside the city. In COpen-
hagen eighteen accumulation cars were
to be put in operation in the beginning
of January. The system employed viii
be entirely storage battery. In Hagen
eight cars on the same system are in
opera ton. and ten more are 10 he add
ed. In Paris thirty-five storage battery
cars are to be equipped on the lines
of the Compagnie du Nord. In Berlin
the city government has decided to run
on all the lines of the city storage bat
terry cars of the mixed system. the 9th
er lines to be equipped with trolley.
The underground conduit has been en-
tirely relegated, and it is expected that
Berlin will soon have in operation from
600 to 100 cars actuated by storage bat.

The statistics of crime in 1896 do NOT
Improve the reputation of the past year
as rather dark period in our history,
though the record is not altogether uu-
favorable by comparison with previous
years. There were 122 legal exeeu-
tons during the year and 131 lynch
angs, which is a rather startling COM
mentary on the methods by which the
law is executed and defied in this coun-
try. That neither lynchings nor legal
executions serve to check the crime
of murder is shown by the statement
that there were no less than 1862
murders committed during the year.
This is a shocking exhibit.
