A very serious question in penoiogy
is again brought TO notice by the opera
ton of the new law regarding con-
vict labor in the New York state pris-
ons. The immediate effect of the law
is to condemn the prisoners to what is
little better than solitary confinement.
and the prison authorities are endeav-
oring to find some employment for the
~convicts that will mitigate this terrible
augmentation Of penalty and not con-
fict with the law. Meanwhile many
OF the prisoners are in despair. One
has attempted suicide, and 1t is feared
that others viii be driven insane. If 1t
should be found that suicide and mad
ness are natural results OF the new
order Of things there might be grounds
for declaring the law unconstitutional
in that It provides for punishment that
Is clearly "cruel and unusual"

One OF the latest uses OF the Rontgen
ray In surgery is almost sensational.
It Is nothing less than the performance
OF an operation with no other light than
that proceeding from the mysterious
ray. A child had swallowed a coin.
The ~fuoroscope made the coin visible
and enabled the physicians to grasp
and withdraw it from the esophagns
with instruments. Every movement
OF the instruments within the throat
OF the patient was clearly visible to
the observer.
