cnlifornis's EeaIsiasurs nray Pass E@w
g. Tha End

g. This Ena
The authorities OF California are
seriously cosidering the advisability Of
passing q law making incorrigibility
among criminals a capital oKense.
In other words, criminals, upon being
taken into custody, will be put through
q thorough test by criminologists. and
II, in their Judgment, the prisoner Is
totally depraved, he will be condemned
to die. This radical step on the part
of the State of California is prompted
by the rapidly increasing crime In
spite of all the laws to subdue and
suppress II. Criminologists and pen
oiogisls have studied crime and orim-
inals from every point OF view and ev-
cry effort has been made TO enact laws
that should have a reformatory eff
feet upon those inclined TO commit Of
fenses against their fellow citizens,
and yet II is admitted that crime, In
stead OF becoming less frequent, Is con-
~iRhtly increasing.
According to the plan that has been
suggested, the legislature, at its next
session, will have the opportunity to
pass a law providing for the exter-
mination of all incorrigibles. In case
such a law shoul1 pass a commission
would be appointed 70 which cases
OF this nature would be referred. This
commission would consist OF alienists
criminologists and others whose ex-
perience had fitted them for such deli
,ate duty, and their decision would be
nnal. In reaching this decision, how
ever, they would have TO be guided by
something more than the ordinary
methods Of justice. OF course the con.
dition OF the prisoners brain woult
play an important part in their judgI
ment, for there are persons criminalg
insane whose removal In this manner
would scarcely be justified by any 0lv-
ilized government. A question that
would follow the adoption of such q
novel innovation in California would
De the. proper method OF disposlag Of
persons to be removed from their
| sphere of crime. The increasing tend
ency OF popular opinion is certainly
against the present methods OF capital
punishment. It is the general opin-
ion that the best means of accomplish
ing this purpose would be Dy the use
OF chloroform or ether or hydrocya-
mic gas. In Japan the government Is
considering the adoption OF similar
method of inficting the death penalty
but ii really matters little whether
one drug or another should be adopt
ed. In either case the result would be
the same. The death-dealing fumes
could be conducted to the cell through
pipes and the condemned would pas'
away as painlessly as II he was simply
falling asleep. In these modern times
when the principle OF the death pen
atty is absolute justice and not 70
venge, the more humane the methoC
of infIicting this punishment, the lesI
brutalizing will be It's effects upor
the community.

he was abroad he gathered trunks full.
Some he bought, some he took when
nobody was looking. Did you hear

What frightened him?"

What His Niither would sov

A poor old Scotsman, who could no
longer till his wee bit land" was
obliged to accept the kindly proffered
hospitality of some English friends.
On the day Of his arrival they, think
ing he would enjoy it, procured some
cress, which was added to the luxuries
already on the table. The poor man,
accustomed all his life to fare of the
plainest kind, hesitated to partake Of
such n decided novelty as cress, and
was induced TO try 1t only by fear of
hurting his hostess feelings. In short
time she noticed that tears were cours-
ing down Andrews cheeks, and inquir-
Ing elected this reply:

would say gin she could see her son
sating grass like cooy' -

Electric Light Aids the Angler,

1t is II well-known fact that fish, like
Insects, are attracted to any bright
light; and French entomologist has
lately taken advantage of this circum-
stance in fishing for specimens in a
pond. With portable battery and a
small incandescent electric lamp at
tached TO net he was able to secure
large number of fish, larvae, tadpoles,
etc, at one operation. The net, meas
uring about yard across, was slowly
lowered into the water and when II
reached the bottom of the pond the
little lamp above it was connected with
the battery. All the living creatures
within reach Of the apparatus rushed
toward the light, and were immediate
ly secured IN the net. 1t is obvious that
the method is applicable ON a far larger
scale, and may prove to be of great ser.

some foreign body in the journals is
the only serious difficulty for which
the Oiler has to watch.
The oiler must have olfactOry nerves
to which the odor of oil Is not distaste-
full or else he must train them to that
state of Indifference, for from morn
Ing until night his nostrils will have to
encounter the unpleasant smell. Con-
stantly the oil Is on his hands, on his

Life Is FrauGht with Dangers of In.
jury or Death.
The job of the oiler is by no means
enviable, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In big Establishments there are such
vast numbers of wheels, shafts, pistons
and other moving points of contact
which need frequent fabrication that
one man is kept constantly employed
pouring oil into the places needed. In
some of the extremely large manufac-
turing plants where there are acres Of
machinery the services of more than
one man are required to perform this
task. The job is more or less disagree
able and dangerous. One false step or
careless movement and the man may
come in contact with piece of swiftly
revolving machinery that will hurl him
to death in second. Every minute of
his time is spent in a wilderness of
powerful forces replete with death-deal-
ing Vigor. AS Is often the case, time
and long experience lead to careless
ness, and many oilers while engaged in
work nave been caught in cog wheel
or fallen upon shaft and been Instant
Ily killed, fatally injured or manned for
life.
The Oiler becomes so expert in his
work that by touching point of con-
tact he can tell from the degree of heat
whether or not the place needs lubri-
eating. In some Instances a point be-
comes so hot that it is necessary to stop
the machinery and let the heated spot
regain Its normal temperature If
place Is not too badly heated the oiler
can reduce the temperature by the use
Of tallOw.
Sometimes the unusual heat is caused
by the presence Of some foreign sub
stance or bit of worn-off metal in the
journal. This must first be gotten out

General Chaffee had orders not to
stop hostilities until the legations were
rescued, and he seems to have oheyed
them to the letter. One report says
the American troops led the way into

to predict that before the close of the
century American troops would enter
Manila and Pekin he would have heen

A MUSIC BOX IN DISGUISE.
II Had a Disturbing Eject at a Rura:
Funeral in Maine,

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
This sounds like a jo-ak from funny
paper, but an Augusta minister will vouch
for its having occurred at a funeral
few miles out of the city not long ago.
The parlor was too small to accommo-
date the crowd of mourners and it was
necessary 30 put them into two rooms.
Those who were out in the sitting-room
were separated from the party in the par
lor, where the casket rested. by an en-
try way. This prevented them from hear
ing all that the minister said and after a
time one of the young men, tired of do
ing nothing reached stealthily over to
the table near him to get the family al
bum, which was lying there in all che
richness of blue plush and fancy brass
clasps.
He had just got it into his lap with out
attracting attention and was going TO
open il and show the photographs 10 the
girl next him when he made a startling
discovery. Something was moving inside
the album. He distinctly felt the vibra-
ton of moving machinery. With appre-
hensive quickness he showed the album
back onto the table. But he did II so rap
idly that every one in the room noticed
the movement and looked at him in silent
reproval
And all the time he could hear the click
ing of that machinery and felt instinc-
lively chat something was about to hap
pen. Just then something did happen. The
minister was speaking tenderly of the de-
ceased and of the beauties of the place
to which his spirit had taken its flight,
Of the streets of gold and the songs of
the angels
Then from the family album on the la
BILE came the opening measures of that
rafting rag-time, "There'n BE a Hot
Time in the Old Town To-nght'-the al
bum was a buff-it was a music box in
disguise. and it was getting under way
in great shape.
The minister stopped. But the music
box didn't. 1t kept right on. The young
man who had accidentally started the
profane concert clutched IL desperately
and tried to throttle IT, But II was no use.
II was as hard 10 stop as the paper you
hadn't paid your subscription on for four
years. Ia insisted on going wher-or-no,
and go il did to the end of the tune.
while the entire funeral party waited for
the end. Then the minister went on. but
having sense OF humor that is well-de-
veloped he had hard work to keep his
face in proper funeral trim.
