Lawrence county has from one to a
dozen producing mines, whose exact
depth to the first or second ore con-
facts, the average value of the ore and
the best method to be- used for the
treatment of the ore are known. Mon
ey invested in any of the camps is
placed with almost certain surety. The
different processes which are used
to treat the ore, have now reached a
state of perfection never before consid-
cred possible. There is not much more

Alumintu,n n. rnper.

Experiments with aluminium as q
substitute for paper are now under way
in France. 1t is well known that the
paper used today in the manufacture of
books is not durable.
1t is now possible to roll aluminium
into sheets four-thousandths of an inch
in thickness. in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption Of
suitable machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner still and can be used
for book and writing paper. The metal

ANp MURDER.


1t may well be that a man who could
not be called insane, but merely, say, an
ordinary member of the criminal classes,
with strong passions and feeble intellect
would, in the presence of an opportunity
long expected and hoped for, the conse-
quences of which his thoughts had FREE
quently rehearsed, be really for the mo-
ment incapable OF restraining his hand.
We should hang him, nevertheless,
without the slightest scruple; and we
should waste no compassion upon the
absence of self-control. 1t is, in fact,
impossible to frame definition of ire
sponsibility based upon absence of self
control without including all sorts of
crimes which at present are punished
by the law For years back there has
been a sort of feud between the lawyers
and the alienists on the subject, so that
even the textbooks speak of legal in
sanity and medical insanity as distinct.
To take extreme cases, jurists have con-
tended that no degree of insanity should
exempt from punishment for crime un-
less it has reached such a point that the
person is utterly unconscious OF the dif-
ference between right and wrong at the

BEAUTIES OF BERksHIREn
From Senator Hoar's Eulogy of the Late
Representative Wright.


Mr.. President: Berkshire county, Mass,
with the regions lying eastward toward
the Connecticut river, and northward and
southwark in southern Vermont and
northern Connecticut, seems to the people
who dwell in 1t the most beautiful spot on
earth. Certainly to Massachusetts, eyes no
Arcadian Landscape, no Italian skies pre-
sent SO fair vision. The verses in which
Virgil described his beloved Italy, as rem
dered in exquisite English verse by a
genius akin to his own, are applicable
here without exaggeration:
On many bill the happy homesteads
etund;
The living lakes through many vale ex-
Cool glens are there, and shadowy caves
divine,
Deep sleep and far-off voices of the kline.
One reverence stiil the untainted race in
spires;
Their country first, and after her their
sires.
This region owes much to nature. 1t
owes much also to historic association and
the hand of man. There can be no seem
cry perfectly beautiful without historic as
sociation, and without the charm which
comes from the habltations of men. That
community is specially fortunate which
can look upon beautiful and noble scenery
whose features 1t can take into its own
nature. and to whose features Its. own ma
ture has contributed. The landscape OF
Berkshire county is almost as much the

time of committing the offense, whiis
medical men have very generally held
to the opinion that this is not a proper
criterion, that many Of the insane are
fully conscious of the difference between
right and wrong, and that to enforce
such test, means the hanging of many
lunatic. There can be no doubt that
Of late years the medical view has met
with a wider acceptance than it used to
do, and that even lawyers have shown
an increasing readiness to admit the
doctrine of irresponsibility. But 1t is a
very anxious question, especially in
view Of recent dogmas as to degener-
acy, how far this doctrine is to be al
lowed to go,
The condition of affairs is much more
serious than some people think, ara
it, is highly necessary that those who
administer the criminal law should be
on their guard against any insidious
establishment OF immunity for the yio-
lation of its most sacred principles In
any case of murder, the presumption In
favor of hanging should be SO strong
as to leave very slender prospect of es-
cape for any man who, prior to tha
commission of his crime, had been
thought fit to be at large If this con-
dition cannot be secured, it will become
matter Of grave necessity to take
prompt steps for the incarceration of
many people of evil passions who are
now at liberty. and to render the utter

whose beauty and social virtues will

The Waterloo of her life came when,
in 1880, she decided that the head of the

decided that it was proper that she
should be called Mrs. Astor"
This point was bitterly contested by
Mrs. Waldorf Astor, who thought she
had the first claim to be called Mrs
Astor," and the rupture between the
women drove the Waldorf Astors to
Europe to live.
