Their Independence n

WASHINGTON, April 4.-senor Qi,sa-
ds, representing the Cuban Junta. in
Washington, said to the Associated
Press today:
THE Cubans will never consent to
an armistice until their independence
IS recoR nizad. Until that time they
will not cease lighting. When inde-
pendeDce is recognized the Cu5ans will
consent to an armistice for settlement
OF conditions in the islands"
The statement is made i'm reply TO a
qnerry as to what the Cubans would
do with regard TO the recent appeal by
the Cuban autonomlst cabinet.
MADRID. Sunday, April Events
are moving rapidly, and the best in
formed people here believe an armis-
tice between the SpaniArds aud Cubans
will be proclaimed within two davs.
The pope, II now appears, sent an
eloquent telegram TO the queen regent
urging Spain to grant an srmistice in
Cuba with the view OF allowing nego-
tiations TO be carried on between the
insurgents and the Cuban authorities
for.the early conclusion OF perma
nent peace, The pope urged that her
majesty take action on humane, and
not on political grounds.
The pope added that "as the feeling
OF all the faithful" he could not inter
vene until stop was put to the she'd
ding of blood who are Gods sons.
Therefore, he asks for a suspension OF
hostilitles.

The increase has been very swift
one. In 1918 the number of Jews in the
United States was estimated at only
1900 by Mordecai NJ. Noah, and so in
30 years their number has multiplied
itself 300 times at least. The growth in
number has been especially rapid since
1881, since which date it is thought the
Jewish immigration to the United
States was 1888, or about one-half
the total Jewish population. The num-
Der of Jews in the world is estimated at
100000, and the United States thus is
seen to have one-sixth of them.
Other statistics are not SO easily at
tainable, except that there are 533 con-
gregations, orthodox and reformed,
with membership Of 13o,046 COM
municants. The two branches have 30l
synagogues, with seating capacity of
139,S24 and valuation of $9,754,275.-

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Many persons are desperately
afraid Of night air, and SO shut them
selves into close rooms and breathe an
atmosphere poisoned by human ex-
ha,ations. 1t is well to avoid draughts,
but night air, as Florence Nightingale
put it, is the only air we have at night,
and it is much wholesomer pure than
impure.
The Baltimore G. Ohio railroad
stands third in the list of freight equip
ment, according to the report of the
Official Railway Equipment Register, in
the possession of eight-wheel freight
cars for all purposes. The total num-
Der of cars is 34,674- of this number
almost $4,000 are box cars and $4,000
coal cars, the others being refrigerator,
live stock, passenger and caboose cars.
M. Forel, in his excellent work on
ants, has pointed out that very young
ants devote themselves at first to the
care of the larvae and pupae, and that
they take no share in the defense of the
nest or other out-of-door work until
they are some days old. This seems
natural, because their first skin is COM
paratively soft; and it would not be well
for them to undertake rough work or
run into danger until their armor had
had time to harden.
The true meridian line of Suffolk
county, Mass, is indicated by three
granite posts, which are set on the
southerly part of the parade ground on
the Common. These posts are 200 feet
apart. The north and south line is in
dicated on the brass caps on the posts.
These were first set in 1870, and when
this spring the parade ground was filed
in brick Enclosures were built around
them so engineers can descend and
note the variations of their compasses.
1t has been discovered by DIR. Bruce
that the tsetse fly (Glossina morsitans),
so fatal in Africa to cattle, is viviparous,
not laying eggs, but bringing forth liv-
ing, fully grown maggots. These larvae
shortly after being born transform into
pupae, the external larval skin harden
ing and assuming an ovate shape, with
ears at one end. This discovery has
been authenticated, says Nature, by
Peringuey, who has bred from puparia
sent by the governor of Natal, which is
undoubtedly this fly.
Sir William Turner, speaking at the
meeting in Toronto of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
said that the average brain weight in
man is from 40 to so ounces. In women
the weight is from A to "a ounces. A
few men, including the great naturalist,
Cuvier, have had brains exceeding 60
ounces in weight, but equally heavy
brains have occasionally been obtained
from persons who had shown no sign
of intellectual eminence. Among in
FAINT children the average brain weight
is for girls ten and for boys 11.67 ounces

WHY CRIME INCREASES.


Methods of Punishment Not DETER
rent, and Penalties Too Uncertain.
Some unpleasant facts in regard to
the increase in crime in the United
States and some of the causes which
have produced it were recently laid be-
fore the social science department Of
the Philadelphia Civic club by Gen.
Isaac j. Wistar. Passing over the sta
tistics, which were not new, Gen. Wis
tar's views as to the causes of the in
crease of crime may be briefly sum-
married.. One of these causes, in his
opinion, is that the methods of pun
ishment are not deterrent. He assert
ed, ON the authority of the Pennsylva-
MIA board of charities, that many of the
81 jails in that state are nests of crime,
maintained for the pecuniary benefit
of county politicians, where the sher-
if is the boss politician. In some of
these jails, he said, indecent pictures
are hung on the walls, and the prison
ers are supplied with cards SO that
they may spend their evenings pleas
antly. A prison, Gen. Wistar contin-
ued, should be a place of punishment,
and above all place where the pris-
oner cannot be further contaminated.
To this end separate confinement he
regards as necessary, and he is not
shaken in this view by the claim that
separate confinement largely increases
cases of insanity. There is no more in
sanity inside prison than outside
among the same classes, Gen. Wistar
maintains, and much of it in the prisons
is feigned to furnish greater opportuni-
ties for escape.
Another cause of the increase Of
crime, in Gen. Wistar's opinion, is the
delay and the uncertainty in punish
ment. For this criminal Jurisprudence
is at fault. The appellate courts, he
says, appear to devote themselves, not
to the trial of the criminal, but to the
trial of the judge that convicted him,
in the hope that they can prove their
astuteness by showing that he COM
mitted some error. In some extreme
cases new trials have been granted be-
cause of misspelled words in the legal
documents. One way to reform this,
suggested by Gen. Wistar, is to deny
the right of appeal in criminal cases.
This, he claims, would not be a hard
ship, inasmuch as the criminal has four
trials, the first before magistrate, the
second before the grand jury, the third
and the fourth "a retrial) before the
higher criminal court. Other remedies
are suggested by the causes that show
their need. Still another advance
would be the reorganization of the
prison system on the English plan, by
which in Great Britain the number OF
criminals has been reduced 81 per cent
in 20 years. Gen. Wistar did not be-
lieve the people here were worse than
in England, and there was no reason
to believe that remedial measures which
are successful in Great Britain would
not be successful here.-N. Y. Post.
