PAROLE LAW is HIT.
Judge Miller Of Anamosa Revolution.
ICES IT,

Des Moines, May 15.-The Iowa pa
'ole law or system received a severe
!olt yesterday at Anamosa, and there
will be some revision of the rules I'M
Tess the supreme court backs up the
governor.
B. w. Garrett, parole secretary for
Gov. Cummins, received a dispatch
rom Anamosa announcing that the
district court had ordered released
from custody Frank Davis, a convict
serving time in the state penitentiary
there. Habeas corpus proceedings
we're brought before Judge Miller at
Anamosa to secure the release of Da
Wis. He has been serving a seventeen
year sentence from Clinton county for
murder, and was paroled about two
months before he would have been re.
leased. He was a good prisoner and
earned all the good time" possible
amounting to nearly seven years. He
was returned upon violation of this
parole. AS is customary in such cases
the good time deduction previously
made was cancelled. In fact this was
one of the conditions to which he sub
scribed when he accepted the parole
anu IL Is d ClduSe III every pdIOlS agree
ment Under this plan he would have
to serve nearly seven years instead Of
the two months which would have re.
leased him if he had not accepted the
parole agreement. Now the court has
declared that the good time earned
previously to the parole must stand
to his credit and so standing he is
entitled to release now that he has
served the two of the three months
which remained of his abbreviated
term in the penitentiary.
The suit was brought by Attorney
Tom Minor, and as Attorney General
Mullan could not go to Anamosa to
defend the state the defense was en-
;rusted to Senator Ellison. An appeal
will be Immediately taken to the SUI
preme court, as the question is one
the supreme court has never passed
on. If the decision is allowed to stand,
1t will necessitate a revision OF the
parole system in vogue in Iowa, which
is somewhat irregular and without
special warrant of law. 1t is expected
that others who are in the same fix
as was Davis will be asking for release
on the same grounds. In every case
where convicts have been returned for
violation of their paroles they have
been required to lose their previously
earned credit for good conduct. ID
they are to be allowed this credit the
governors will be much slower tc
grant paroles near the end of sen
tence.

Ames, May 18--At the meeting of

Saturday, it was decided to award the
contract for the new central building

England Would Join With Other Pow.

ers In Decreasing Armament.
London, May 15.-The question Of
the reduction of naval ornaments
came up again yesterday in the house
of commons during discussion of the
estimates. The speakers suggested
that the government take the first step
in proposing a reduction to other
powers. Sir Charles Dixie, advanced
radical, said he thought this might be
possible. In view of the improved re-
lations between Great Britain and
France, those two nations might talk
the matter over and subsequently ap-
proach Russia. Even If Germany did
not agree to reduction the three
powers might effect something. 1t
was not necessary for Great Britain
to build against the United States. 1t
would be as great mistake to count
upon the United States as an enemy
as to count upon her as an active ally,
for the United States had always been
the great defender of the rights Of
neutrals.
Mr.. Arnold-Foster, the admiralty
secretary, after having pointed out
that it was the duty of the admiralty
to deal with facts as they were and
not as they might be, said that all the
great powers were increasing their
maritime preparations, mainly Russia
According to the available figures
France and Russia together were now
building three more battleships than
Great Britain. AS the actual force
in ships which could be a,rayed
against Great Britain ought to be the
guiding principle, he denied that the
admiralty's proposals were in excess
of the requirements of the country.
The secretary added that he would
not on that occasion express any view
with regard to the position as affected
by the United States-"that was a
grave consideration which in the fu-
ture would have to be considered"

Canary Infanticide.

A short time ago I quoted an &C.
count given by we'll known natural
ist of how hen canary drowned her
f1edglings that had broken wings. The
author begged any reader who knew
of any other occurrence of the kind
to communicate with the scientific
journal for which he writes. A. M.
Nossel of Quimperle has, in answer,
given publicity to the following curl
Gus fact, which took place in his own
parlor, and under his own eyes. There
he had a pair of canary birds. Last
August the hen Matched four eggs.
But it was noticed that <hough she so
equally divided her care impartially,
one of the little ones was puny and
of slow growth. While the three
others had already uowny feathers,
this weakling remained naked One
morning NJ Nossel observed it lying
on the floor of the cage, cold and
wounded, but not yet dead. The first
thought of M. Nossel was that this
f1edgling, which within three or four
days had been looking stronger, had

of the nest by the other birds. Though
a leg had been broken, the unfortun-
ate little creature was brought to by
artificial warth and replaced by him
under the maternal wing. He care
fully watched the parents. AS they
gave no sign of discomfort, he thought
they would attend kindly to the injur-
ed infant. But the hope proved I'M
founded, and when they fed the other
three the fourth opened wide it's
mouth in vain. Evidently they had
made up their minds to starve it to
death. Two mornings after it had been
replaced in the nest it was found dead,
and to judge from the attenuared state
of the body, from hunger. M. Nossel
is now inclined to think that the
fall from the nest was not accidental.

Selling Produce by Mail.
1t is not hard for farmer to work
up an interest by advertising a desir-
able article in the right way and
through the right means. But half the
battle is in properly answering the in
quiries received. By lack of prompt

some letter writers will drive away
possible customers about as fast as
good advertising brings them in. Use
a typewriter. which can be bought
second hand for few dollars; answer
letters the same day received; by next
mail If possible. The first satisfactory
reply that reaches the buyer is likely
to get his order, and in making the
reply satisfactory everything counts.
Inclose a sample or picture of what Is
being sold, if expedient, and try to
fix his choice on a definite article or
specimen at an attractive stated price,
judging what he wants from his letter.
1t is this tact In adapting the reply to
the prospective customer which counts
as much as anything in securing or
ders. His confidence is to be secured,
his questions and scruples clearly and
tactfully met, and his Imagination
aroused over some special and definite

One Mode of Fighting Lockjaw.

Only partial success has attended
the use of the antitoxin for treating
lockiaw. Where there is reason to
anticipate an attack, this serum can
be used advantageously as proven
tive. But it's curative value, after the
disease manifests itself, is not uni
form. Sometimes it does good and
sometimes it seems to be without eff
feet. On the whole, while reluctant
to abandon it altogether, experts rec
ognize the fact that this particular an
titoxin does not work as well as could
be desired.
Attention has accordingly been d.
rected by the medical press of late to
a system of dealing with tetanus sug-
gested by Prof. Baccelli of Rome. He
resorts to injections of carbolic acid,
which is one of the most powerful
antiseptic agents known. The idea OF
introducing germicides into the blood
to fight various bacterial diseases
tuberculosis, for instances an old
one. Carbolic acid has been favor
lite resource in such experiments also.
However, it's application to tetanus
is comparatively new. Though the
scheme was proposed several years
ago, the profession has given the pref
erence to the serum treatment. Now,
however, the Baccelli method is COM
ing to the front again. Italian sur
geons are enthusiastic over its ef-
fects. Prof. Babes, Bucharest, who
may possibly be less prejudiced than
Baccelli's fellow countrymen, recon-
mends it's use when serum is not OBJ

OF the scarcity of the latter is COM
mandlng the thought of a great many
people in this country, has had sew.
erai interesting solutions, but it is
uouottul II any of them mas been more
mover or curious than that of a Boston
gentleman, Mr.. A. G. Carey.
Mr.. Carey, who is described in the
Boston Globe as a skilled mechanic
and patentee of nearly one hundred
inventions of his own, proposes to use
water, unmixed with any other sub
stance, as fuel. In demonstrating
ms idea Mr.. Carey employs the Bunsen
burner, invented many years ago by
Prot. Bunsen of Heidelberg, and by
means OF this burner he is able, it
is claimed, to get flame as large as
a Dushel basket from a single drop of
water. Some such tubular arrange
ment as the Bunsen burner is neces-
sary in order to generate heat suffi-
GENTLY intense to produce the desired
result. BY allowing the water to drip
through the tiny flame arising from
this tube onto piece of platinum the
gases contained in the water are re-
leased and combustion follows Any
kind of water will do, whether fresh
or salt, pure or impure. All that is
necessary, it appears, is to disin-
tegrate the water, and nature does the
rest.
Although thoroughly confident that
his scheme for burning water is, in
every way, feasible and full of i'm
mense possibilities of development,
Mr.. Carey, who is now an old man,
says that he feels hardly able to I'M
dertake the task of continuing his ex-
periments and of carrying them t. a
successful termination. He is willing,
however, to give the benefit of his dis
cGvery to science and to assist, SO far
as possible, in developing and perfect
ing the ideas involved.
1t should be said that the fuel which
this Boston inventor woula produce,
and also his method of MT king it,,
would bear no real relation to the pro-
duct and manufacture of what are
known as gas water and water gas,
whose uses are well known, and which
are; moreover, relatively unimport-
ant when compared with the utility of
the fuel which, it is claimed, can be
made from water by following the
principle outlined obove.
