CRIME IN ENGLAND.
On the Increase and Penal Servltude
Declared Not to Crush Moral
Responsibility.

Statistics published the other day
point to an increase of crime through
out Great Britain in 1901, as com
pared with 1900, but this increase is
not of serious magnitude. Mr.. Simp-
son, the chief of the criminal depart
ment of the home Office, points out
that the reports furnish an excellent
means for testing the common as
sumption that penal servitude
brushes the moral responsibility and
bars the return to honest living of
those who undergo sentence. In 1897
the criminal report tended to show
that this assumption was wrong, and
subsequent reports have shown that
penal servitude may fail to reform
those who have undergone punish
ment after a career of crime, but that
in the case of lesser criminals the vast
majority have been found to be lead
ing respectable life after discharge
from prison.

A NEW NERVE CURE.
Calcium Salts Discovered by DR..
Loeb, as Foe to Disease.
IL IL Said the EN- n emit Scien mist Has
Found Way to Cure st. Vitus Dance
and Other Affections of
Nerves and Muscles.

If the conclusions reached by DR..
Jaynes Loeb in scientific publication
from the University of Chicago are
correct, St. Vitus dance and other nery-
GUS and muscular diseases are durable
Advance sheets of the publication give
the statement that calcium salts,
which have figured in SO many OF
DR.. Loeb's experiments, were EN-
ployed to stop muscular twitchlngs
and with the frog and the jelly fish that
the scientist has used in his expert
ments the treatment works success
fully.
DIR. Loeb has discovered that rhyth-
mical twitching, peculiar to certain dis
eases, are due to the absence of caleb
um salts in the tissues. When such
salts are absent twitching results and
the Chicago Psychologist has discov-
cred that the introduction OF just
enough calcium salts will stop the agi-
tation.
His experiments were carried on In
the University of Chicago laboratories
last summer and members of the fac
ulty who worked with him feel positive
that he has solved the question of the
proper traa tment of such diseases.
at follows from our observations"
says DR.. Loeb, in summing up his pa
per, that muscular twitchings may be
brought about in an organism by re-
duction in the muscles or blood of the
proportion of calcium or magnesium
which we get from drinking water or
an increase in the proportion of sodi-
UNI. In view Of the fact that thus far
no explanation has been found for the
pathological phenomena of this kind,
1t becomes of Importance to see
whether or not in certain Of these dis
eases the relative amount of calcium
in the blood is diminished.
"If this should be the case the admin
istration of calcium would be the cure
for diseases which thus far have been
beyond medical control. 1t is also APP
parent from our experiments that for
the suppression Of nervous twitchings
or contractions more calcium may pos
sibly be required than for the suppress
sion of muscular twitchings."

TREATING A DEADLY COBRA.
Poisonous Reptile In New York Zoo
Suffering from Broken Jaw
A NckIish Task.

Under skillful treatment at the New
York Geological gardens in Bronx
park, a deadly cobra which recently
broke his jaw in fit of violent rage, is
ON the road to recovery.
The dressing on the head of the
poisonous creature has been renewed
with considerable difficulty. AS sting
from the reptile means death, the
operation of applying a dressing to
the cobra is most perilous task.
The cobra was slumbering when
Curator Ditmars, cautiously opening
the big door, thrust in a long wooden
pole with two prongs. Pressing this
down on the cobra's head he held it
prisoner until Keeper Snyder got in
side.
The reptile, now thoroughly aroused,
agitated its tail frantically. but Snyder
held its head firmly to the floor while
Ditmars removed the old dressing and
replaced it with new one. The oper-
alton took about ten minutes.
AS the two men slipped away and
slammed the door the Infatuated rep
tile made vicious lunge toward them.

Gurnish Drill Power.

In the new Simplon tunnel under
the Alps. which will be by far the
greatest, tunnel in the world, having
length of IA miles, and which, it is now
reported, will be completed IN July
1905, the quantity of water flowing out
of the southern end, from the many
veins encountered in the heart OF the
mountain, amounts to 10000 gallons
per minute, and furnishes sufficient
power to compress the air by which
the drills are worked, and TO refrlg

frigeration may be judged from the
fact that the heat in the deeper parts
of the tunnel rises as high as lao de
grees Fahrenheit when not artifcially

Life would be impossible in the tunnel,
where 1000 workmen labor, il sue

tOKE ON ART EXPERTS.
Sculptures of Angelo aud Da Vinei
Are Turned Down ~
Immature.

Exact reproductions of some of the
and Leonardo Da Vinci have been re-
jected as inartistic and immature by
the municipal art commission, body
made up of number of the rich
men of New York city, men who deem
themselves art critics of the first
class.
The commissioners give their scrv-
ices to the city free of charge just
because they want municipal art well
managed. The joke was turned on
them by pair of Tammany archi-
tects, who have contract for the
erection of the hall of records, now
nearing completion.
The architects, Horgan and Stat
terry, were annoyed by what they
deemed persecution and they lay all
their troubles to the reform admin
istration inaugurated by Mayor Low.
This contract is holdover since the
previous administration, and they
claim they have been doing their best
to give satisfaction.
Despite every effort of the archi-
tects to please, plans, drawings,
sculpture and decorations were re-
iected, they claim, because the work
was in the hands of Tammany men.
The commission could see no ar in
most of the work. The best artists
obtainable were secured, but it was

artists pronounced the work or
high class, came the time for the
joke.
Careful copies OF some OF the gar
goyles and cornice decorations by
Angelo and Da Ninci in St Peters at
Rome were secured. The reproduc-
tions were pronounced perfect and
submitted. but they were not artistic
in the eyes OF the experts.

Some time ago a beauty show was
organized AT Milan, which was well
patronized. and So young ladies were
iudged to be the standard of beauty,
which entitled them to be prize win
ners. But no prizes were forthcoming
until the other day, when an announce
ment was made by the promoters of
the show tina. they had now opened a
lottery for men only, the condition be
ing that the drawer OF the winning
number must marry one Of the prize
winners in the beauty show, who would
in turn receive proportionate share
of the proceeds Of the beauty show as
a dowry. If there are no marriages
the promoters are to have the pro-

General TaYlor's Knife.

Our good friend, Mr., B. A. Long,
left with us this week an old relic
in the shape of huge pocketknlfe,
which he informs lis he picked up
while hunting on the lake hills
near Wheeling seventeen years ago.
The entire length of the knife is
over thirteen inches. The blade is
six. The handle is made of bone
and is mounted with plate center
piece of brass, on which is engraved
"Gen. Taylor The end of the
handle is also mounted with brass
on both sides, and on these plates
are equestrian figures of the Gener-
al on horseback, accompanied also
with his name. The metal is con-
siderably eaten with rust and looks
very old, much like old "Rough
and Ready" might have used it in
many of his early adventures.
