Torture STATIONS.

Speaking of capital punishment, a
writer in the American Journal Of
Sociology declares that the killIg OF
criminals does not benefit society.
while life Imprisonment merely lays
an extra burden on the public. BY
way of making the punishment for
murder ht the crime he urges that
every condemned murderer should be
turned over to the doctors to be ex-
perimented upon until he dies. In sup
port of this proposition the writer
makes a long and serious argument.
Among other things. he shows how
many hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie are dying annually of diseases
which might be cured II the scientists
had human experiment station
where they could try all sorts of pro-
posed remedies. 1t does not answer
the purpose to try new medicine upon
animals, and the idea of being expert
mented upon is not popular among
patients. Here is the opportunity.
says the writer. for making the con-
demned murderer repay part of the
debt that he owes to society. Let him
be experimental upon with new Sc
runs and potions until he dies.

Schools of Foresfry.

In Sweden the state owns and cares
for over 100000 acres OF forest lands.
Schools of forestry are maintained and
the timber lands are efficiently cared
for by graduates OF the schools. who
understand how to farm the lands by
preventing waste and profitably man
ufacturing the product of the forests.
carefully replanting where trees are
cut down. AS result of forestry so
managed all the cost of schools and
caretakers is betrayed out of the prod
uct sold by the state and the net
profits are four times greater than the

what Prehistoric Man Ate.

Our modern microscope has been
looking back some 5000 years on ex-
amining the food of our savage ances-
tors when they were little above the
beasts whose bones we find mixed
with theirs.
Charters White of the Royal Odonto-
logical Society of Great Britain has
recently placed under his microscope
teeth taken from human skulls dating
back to the stone age, and carefully ex-
amined the tartar on them after 1t had
been dissolved in n weak acid, hoping
to find traces Of the food that they had
mnsticated. He was entirely success

hairs from the outside of husks, spiral
