A very serious question in penology
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-
orihg, 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 it is feared
that others will be driven insane. II it
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" -,

Curious Addition to the Typewriter.

Curious Addition to the Typewriter.
A curious addition to the typewriter,
called the typewriter PRISM" has
been invented. It is an ingeniously
wrought scientific adaptation Of we'll
known principle in optics, and its OBJ
ject is to render the writing of tpye-
writer visible 10 the operator as it is
being written. The principal part Of
the device consists of a prism of pure
optical glass as long as the line to be
printed. It is carefully ground and
polished, and is fastened to the carriage
of the machine beneath the impression
roller. Two of it's three sides are fiat,
and the third is strong cylindrical
convex curve. The curved side is In
view of the operator, and the writing
Is visible on it's surface. Not only is it
perfectly reflected, but the writing is
presented right side up, magnihed to
any desired extent. The service is
rendered complete by the attachment
of a metal pointer, which shows the
exact spot on which the next character
written will appear.

Citizens of Ellinwood, Kas., claim to
have seen an immense airship the other
night. One man who viewed the ma
chine says it was moving southwark
and at speed of about forty miles an
hour. 1t appeared to be about SO feet
long by 20 wide, and had two immense
wings, or propellors, on each side.
Some sort of contrivance was at
:ached to the rear of the ship, pre-
sumably for steering. The ship was
one blaze of light from stem to stern,
and remained in sight about ten min
utes. And there wasn't wet" spot
in Ellinwood on this occasion.

One of the latest uses of the Rontgen

1t is nothing less than the performance
of an operation with no other light than
that proceeding from the mysterious

The Horoscope made the coin visible
and enabled the physicians to grasp

with instruments. Every movement
Of the instruments within the throat

The United States and Germany are
the only leading countries that have
no postal savings-banks, and the fact
prompts contributor to inquire
whether such institutions would not be
useful in small towns and villages
where private savings banks do not
exist. Undoubtedly they would be; yet
stronger argument for the system
was put forward by Ex-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker, when he suggest
ed that self-interest would make every
depositor firm defender of the credit
and stability of the government.

with this they got long cable, used in

fact will lay every one of the despOilers
liable TO charges for serious damage.
