now waging in the senate threatens to
extirpate capital punishment and with 1t
Frances grim and blood-stained instrument
OF public vengeance. The crisis was brought
on by the case of a man named Bidaux,
condemned by the courts to death.
Formerly the place of execution was La
Roquette, near Pere la Chaiz, but that
has been voted too public. for it Is con-
ceded that such exhibitions have no salu-
tary effect upon the morals of the people.
The prisoner is confined at LaSante
and 1t was suggested that the execution
take place within the prison walls, but
LaSante is by no means anxious for the
distinction, hence the matter was referred
to the Senate and the Chamber OF Depu-
ties. Several senators have demanded to
know why there should beacapital punish
ment at all when it raust be so carefully
concealed. The argument for and against
has grown so strong that the decapitation
date Of Bideaux promises to be indefinitely
postponed.

been explored for the first time in Switzer-

not far from Schwytz. 1t lies at the foot
OF the hill of Pragl. Many previous efforts
had been made to explore 1t. but they failed
on account Of the abundance Of water, the
steepness Of the inclines which separate
the chambers and the frequent caving in
of the walls.

achieved the dangerous feat are Arthur

explorers penetrated nearly two miles and

the whole. The men contended that the
risk was outweighed by the discoveries
