Even that view OF the Juvenile court
which one may get from reading the
newspapers is enough to show that the
courts highest efficacy may consist in
suggesting It's terrOrs to the youthful
defendants rather than in applying
them. The boy OF u charged with tru-
ancy, for example, who wept and
pleaded when confronted with the
court, win never be so much afraid of

SO much afraid of any other court. In
discriminate leniency would, of course,
in time destroy the usefulness of the

At the Sanitary Institute at South
ampton Dr. Manly stated that several
outbreaks Of typhoid fever in Liver
pool had been traced to contaminated
ice cream. Since 1895 Sis persons had
applied TO the Liverpool health author
tiles for permission to sell fee cream.
and IS had been told that owing to
unsuitability of premises they must
make other arrangements. There had
been two convictions, and in one
case the stipendiary magistrate re
marked that the best punishment for
the defendant would be to make him
live on his own ice cream for time
DR.. Manly stated that Glasgow had
adopted similar policy to Liverpool,
and advised local authorities to apply
for parliamentary powers on the lines
of those granted by the Liverpool act

In a paper read before the Paris
Academy Of Sciences entitled Action
Of Some Gases on Caoutchouc," NJ.
DiArsonYai showed that ut pressures
varying from one to five atmospheres
caoutchouc absoTbs large quantities
Of carbonic acid gas and at the same
time increases in volume and becomes
more gelatinous and less elastic. On
exposure to air the gas Is gradually
lost and the caoutchouc resumes its
original properties. Hence vessels Of
caoutchouc readily allow carbonic acid
gas to pass through their walls. The
action is much slower in the case of
oxygen and is slight with nitrogen.
From these experiments VI. D'Arson-
val suggests that bicyclists should in
fate their tires with nitrogen. This.
however, would not seem to be neces-
sary, according to Invention, for after
the tires have been repeatedly debated
through loss of oxygen and then
pumped up with ordinary air the pro-
portion OF oxygen inside the tire he
comes small and practically pure nitl ,

New Legislation iiS thhstr>s.
The new Congress which meets on
the first Monday in December has some
Important legislation before ii. The
principal topics which are now visible,
in addition to the passage Of the neces,
sary appropriation bills, are financial
bill and bills for the government OF
our new dependencies.
The important financial bill has al
ready been adopted by the Republican
caucus committee and given to the
press. It's main provisions are these:
Reiteraring the declaration OF 1878
that the gold dollar shall be consid-
cred the standard Of value In CONNER
cial transactions; providing by law Tor
a gold reserve-a reserve which mas
hitherto been kept up by the treasury
department without express warrant
In law: giving to the secretary OF the
treasury the power 10 issue bonds IN
cases of emerEency-a power hitherto
exercised by virtue OF an old law, the
pertinence OF which has been some
what open to question; giving to pa-
tioual banks the power to issue notes
to the par value OF the United tsates
bonds held by them. and allowing ma
tional banks OF a capital Of $1,000 to
be started in communities Of two thou
sand people or under
These are all matters OF business,
and concern chiefly the business men
and the banks The proposed law is
mainly the enactment Of a policy
which has already been pursued with
advantage for several years
The legislation which Will attract
most attention, and cause most discus
sion. Is that which is made necessary
by our possession Of new territory.
During the last Congress a law was
proposed for the government OF the
Hawaiian Islands, but Il failed to re-
Ceive the assent OF both houses Ha-
wall has since been In the anomalous
position OF territory which has been
formally annexed 10 the United states,
but which Is still governed by the laws
Of the Hawaiian republic. which In
some Instances conflict with those Of
the United States, The early passage
OF bnl to extend the constitution and
the laws Of the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands Is therefore probable,
as it is highly desirable.
New legislation In regard TO Cuba
will doubtless be proposed but the af-
fairs Of that island are 50 unsettled
that until order Is completely restored
and the people have had some oppor-
tunIry TO show what they can do with
the measure OF seIf-goyernmeut which
already has been granted To them, Il
would b. premature TO attempt any
final and definite legislation.
