LIFE ON FRENCH PENAL SNIP
Floating Prison which Conveys Con-
vIcts to peuaI Colonies.

The French transport ship Caladonie,
now lying at Port Tampa, is an object
Of much curiosity. This grim sea prison
annually conveys 1000 souls from the
land of the living--the gay French Re-
public--to an enduring death on the
Safety Islands.
The Caladonie Is an iron ship of iiOO
tons. For the last ten years II has been
in the employ of the French govern
ment transporting criminals from
France and Algeria to the penal colo
mics on the Safety Islands. thirty miles
Off the coast of French Guiana.
Four steel cages. each with a capacity
of $50 are ready for the male prisoners
as they come aboard, while much
smaller one. capable of holding only
thirty-one persons. is sufficient for the
female convicts. This latter cage is in
the aft of the ship. and Is widely separ-
eted from the others. The women are
treated with a great deal more consid-
Grafton than the men. They have regu-
lar berths and are given better fare.
The men sleep in canvas hammocks
and are given the ordinary seamans
ration which is substantial If not elab-
crate.
horrible to contemplate is the facility
with which the steam can be used upon
officers of the vessel to scald every

so arranged that were such an attempt

prisoner to death in less time han it
would take to count them. Captain
Dando never has had such a case arise
on board his ship but il often becomes
necessary to give them little steam to
qucll discorten. AS a rule, however,
the eighty guards who are regularly de-
tailed for service on beard are suni-
cient to keep the prisoners docle.
Should an outbreak at any time
occur signal or alarm calls all hands
to the midsbip section of the ship, and
then all the ladders leading TO the up
per deck of this section. are drawn up

rightful commanders have a quickly i'm

| braces the boiler and engine room, the
arsenal and provision rooms, the off,
GERS headquarters the chart and steer
ing rooms and the bridge. Tho con .
victs cannot come near enough to scald
the walls or batter down the doors on
account of the scalding steam, while
from the fortress the guards and crew
can shoot them as they appear.

A Sicilian deputy had been offend7 i

crossed swords, the Scilian deputy ut
tered a cry and dropped his weapon.
He was about to fall and his seconds
rushed forward to support him. No
blood was visible at first, but when he
was examined signs of a wound were
seen on his back. As it was impossible
that his antagonist could have struck
him i'm the back, the seconds were as

that had been inflicted apparently by

showed that sharp twig from one Of

SUING PROF. M'CANDLEss.
Ex-State Chemist Payne Trying to
Recover a Laboratory.

Ex-state Chemist Payne Trying to
Recover n Laboratory.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 5.-The controversy
between ex-State Chemist George F.
Payne and Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens has got into the courts.
When DR.. Payne was decapitated by
Commissioner Stevens he entered a claim
for the laboratory located in the state cap
itol as his personal property, and one
night succeeded in removing part of it be-
fore Mr. Stevens knew what was up. At
ter several days of disputation Commits
soner Stevens asked that legislative
committee be appointed to look into the
claims of DR.. Payne and this committee
was appointed.
When it undertook the task, however,
Dr. Payne declined to submit any state
ment or evidence, and his attorney went
into court with a suit against Prof. ]. NJ.
McCandless, the present state chemist,
for possession of the laboratory. Prof.
McCandless of course had nothing to do
with the controversy as he was put in
charge by Commissioner Stevens. The
latter is perfectly willing to let DR.. Payne
have anything that is his, but in view of
certain facts and circumstances he wants
him to show a title to what he claims.
A report current several days ago at
the capitol was that the legislative COM
mittee had made some discoveries not all
together creditable to eX-Chemist Payne.
This committee will go ahead with its in
vestigations regardless of the appeal to
the courts Payne has also had bill in
troduced in the House to pay him $1,000
for the laboratory.
