THE MEXICAN EDITOR.
II Is Very Easy For Him to Get Into
Serious Trouble.


The newspaper laws of Mexico are
very stringent. If any person is men
toned in newspaper article and feels
offended about 1t, he can easily send
the editor of the paper and the writer
of the article to prison. The state
ments may have been far within the
limits of trutR and justice, but that
makes no difference. The editor in
communicate has chance TO think
about the law. and the aggrieved per-
son smiles pleasantly. After awhile
the law gets in its work, the ease is in
vestigated. and the editor is punished.
for even the truth is libelous, and libel
is one of the offenses most severely
condemned.
According to the theory of the MeXi-
can law, every person has right TO 80
about entirely free from annoyance Ey
other persons. If the person violates
the law, the newspaper has no right to
say so, 1t can lay information before
the courts if it wants to, but it must
not say in its columns that it has done
so. Then the law will step in and take
charge of the offender. but the repre-
sentatives of the paper will not be al
lowed to attend the trial, and only the
bare result, after weeks of waiting.
can be told to the public.
If the offense charged against the cd
itor is regarded by the first magistrate
to whom the complaint is made ms be-
ing especially grave, the paper is gen
orally suppressed. The complaint has
been received and passed upon. Then
Il squad of police descendS upon the
printing office. Sometimes all the en-
ployees are arrested. sometimes only
the editor Then the doors of the
building are closed official seals are
placed upon them. and guard is sta
toned to see that no one tries to en-
ter For three days the editor can do
nothing. The laws under which he is
arrested are modelled after those of the
code Napoleon. and for three days lie
is held incommunicado, while the au-
thorities hunt up evidence. Then he
is given a hearing In the meantime
his paper has been suppressed. and in
many eases it never comes to life again.
even though the editor may eventually
clear himself of all Pittsburg

VAGARlEs OF THE TIDES.
Curious Currents In the Ocean and
Its OfshOots.

There are as many vagaries in the
waters as in the winds. Why, for in
stance, should three great ocean cur
rents send their warm waters across
the wide Pacific, Atlantic and around
the Cape of Good Hope? There have
been many theories advanced to solve
the problem of their origin, but all
have proved fallacious. Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well nigh all parts of the world. The
tides are so erratic in different parts of
the world tfat one hesitates to accept
the theory that the moon controls them
in all cases
1t is on record that the sea has run
for weeks out of the Java sea through
the strait of Sunda and thence back
again for like period without any per-
ceptible rise or fall during those times
Then there is the equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever flowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn. the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end of Florida, the con-
tinual current running with velocity
of from four to five knots an hour
through the strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
shoals off the end of Billion island,
whit al, S,to ,.4e
and ends somewhere in the vicinity of
the same place. and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends alb
ruptly off the north end of LuZon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores. Resi-
dents on Severn side are familiar with
them, and those that run up the HUI
gil and Irawaddy rivers from side
to side in Il ZigZag shape till they reach
their limit. often tearing ships from
their anchorage, originate nobody
knows where or why. The rush of wa
tiers in the bay of Fundy is nothing
but Il huge bore sweeping all before it
up to the head of the bay till the waters
have risen TO the height of fifty or six
ty feet. Off Southampton we have the
double tides, while at Singapore it has
been observed for days at a time that
there has been but the one rise and
fall in the twenty-fou hours. The tides
may be and very often appear as
though they were "moonstruck," but
they certainly are not controlled with
hard and fast rules by that or any 9th
er body.-London Shipping World.

Private Gambling In Russia.

There is Il good deal of gambling in
society in England, but it is nothing to
what goes on in Russia, says the Lon
don Candid Friend. Nint, preference
and roulette are the principal games.
The second is the most popular in army
circles, while many ladies of the high
est rank keep roulette tables and have
regular evenings Oh which play goes
on for very high stakes AS is usually
the case ut roulette the bank mostly
wins. and the hostess takes good care
to keep the bank.
One of the most notorious of these
private dens is run by two ladies of
the highest rank and connections. Only
the fine feur of the society of st. Pc
tersburg are admitted and the entree
is eagerly sought. The stakes are high,
the plunging often desperate, and men
have been known to leave these salons
in Il financial condition which APP
proaches ruin. The princesses, howev-
er make handsome income out of the
bank, and no one thinks the worse of
them.

A Rnd WnY to Feed Birds.

1t is quite Il common practice for per-
SONS owning pet birds to teach them to
take bits of sugar or other food liked
by the bird from the lips. 1t has been
discovered that the trainers of young
birds in Europe frequently contract in
this way peculiar parasitic growth on
the throat and lungs that is frequently
fatal. and warning has been issued
by French physicians which may well
be needed by any one feeding birds
from mouth to beak.
