death was able to follow the occlDa-

were reGuisit:CIed all over the coua-
try, his last engagement being at the
diamond jubilee celebration at Ports

boast Of having been a prisoner In
nearly every country in the world. He
has, indeed. made the getting into
prison the chief aim Of hts life. in or
der that he may, from personal expe-
rience, gain Information for a book on
jails he IS anxious to write. During
a space OF tE1rty-four years he has
been incarceratad IN Belgium. Prussia,
Russia, England, Ireland, France,
Spain, italy, Greece and Turkey. The
prisons OF India, Japan and Esyp:
have held him. and in America and
Australia he has suffered durance vile.
His vast experience iEclincs him to
the BELIEF that the worst jails are In
Australia, and the best In America.
