Prof. Cesare Lombroso recently ha

Prof. Cesare Lombroso recently had
an opportunity to test scientifically
the effect Of alcohol in developing
latent criminal tendencies. The SUBJ
ject Of his experiments was a mai
who had surrendered himself to the
police with the avowal that anarchists
wished to make him their instrument
for assassinating the King of Italy.
The man seemed sane, but no corro-
boration of his story could be obtain
ed. Unexpectedly, after drinking wine,
he broke out into anarchistic threats.
Acting upon this hint, Professor Lom-
broso administered alcohol to him In
carefully measured quantities, and
discovered that after he had drunk q
certain amount he developed violent
criminal tendencies, all recollection 81
which appeared to have vanished from
his mind when the effects Of the alec.
hpl had passed off.

In a paper read before the Manches-
ter Literary and Philosophical society,
entitled, "On Internal Migration in
England and Wales" Professor Flux
gave an account of the results OF the
net inward and outward movement In
each registration district of England
and Wales in the interval between the
censuses of 1881 and 1891. Measuring
intensity of movement by the proper
ton of net migration to mean popula-
tion. the absorption is most marked in
the London suburbs, and in convent
emily situated watering places. These
movements indicate some amelioration
OF the evils of life in crowded cities.
The districts from which efiux has
been strongest are found In the south
west. in Wales, on the Scotch border,
and In northeast Yorkshire and Lin
colnshire. Movement from district

Probably never in the history OF the
world has the prospect for general
warfare been so manifest as 1t is at the
present time. This is a most deplor-
able commentary on the boasted civili-
zation of this age. But the circum-
stances that contribute most to the
awfnlness of the prospect is in the
fact that the nations that pretend to
be the most highly civilized are the
busiest in setting the confagration.
