The New York Times takes the
proper view of the acquittal of Till
man of the charge of having murder
ed Editor Gonzales in cold blood in
public street in a South Carolina city
The crime was Tillman's answer to a
series of criticisms of his political
course on the part of his victim, crit.
cisms which his crime tended to justi-
fy even to those who had no other
means of Judging their justice. After
repeatedly threatening the life of his
political opponent and critic, and de-
claring that he would allow him no
chance for it, he made good his threats
when Gonzales was unarmed and de-
fenceless.
Readers of the reports of the trial,
we suppose, says the Times, must
have dismissed as mere afterthought
Tillman's pretence THAT Gonzales
seemed to have a weapon and seemed
about to draw it. The assassin had
him covered" aud unless he meant
murder, could and would have waited
for the actual production of a weapon
for some such evidence as the law re.
quires of hostile action adapted to put
a reasonable man for fear for hi;
life.
There was here no evidence of any
such action. 1t was assassination
And it is the assassin that a Soutl
Carolina jury has .bidden go free as
man innocent of all offence. Even {
disagreement would have been, com
paritively, sop to decency.

WHALES AS THEY DIVE.
hmething About the Habits of the
Ocean Monsters.

hmething About the Habits of the
Ocean Monsters.
Both whalers and naturalists have
usually held that when whales ''sound''
they descend to great depths, says
knowledge One writer on the subject
estimates that the larger members of
the group dive fully thousand yards.
In q memoir published in Belgium DR..
Racovitza challenges this belief and
states that in his opinion 100 yards is
the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit.
Says the writer:
Why should whales want to go to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food, and in the
profound darkness of 1000 yards what
food could they get? Those species
which feed on animalcules might, per
haps, obtain what they want But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At depth of 1000 yards
they certainly could not use their eyes
to detect nOnluminOus species, Hnd we
have no evidence whatever that they
feed on the self luminSrs deep sea fish
and cuttles, if, indeed. there be any of
the latter. On the contrary, the available
evidence indicates that they feed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut
ties which live in much shallOwer
zones. But this is not all. 1t is known
that the effects Of a pressure of more
than three atmOspheres prove fatal to
human life; and, although we may be-
lieve that whales can stand treble this
pressure, or nine atmOspheres, which
would occur at about ninety yards
depth, is it conceivable that they could
resist the effect of ten times the latter
pressure, or ninety atmospheres? More
over, does it seem possible that whale
whose body is only slightly heavier
than water at ordinary pressure could
exert the muscular force necessary to
propel that body to a depth of 1000
yards?
