PACIFIC TERMINUS
New TranScOntinentaI Canadian Line May Decide on Kaen Island,
 Tuck'S Inlet.

Last summer it was printed in the papers that the western terminus of the projected new wtranscontinental Canadian railway, the Grand Trunk Pacific, would be at Port Simpson, B. C. Along with the last papers that got in by the steam boat service came statement that "thc board of directors have taken prelimi nary steps to make their western termi nus at Kaen Island on Tuck's Inlet" It was added this time, however, that "this land and the money paid for it will be forfeited if this is not declared to be the terminus on or before June 30, 1906" The newly mentioned terminal point is described as follows:
 kaen Island pronounced by the 1n- dians kayen) is about 25 miles south of Port Simpson. It is a mountainous island, but on the north shore facing Tuck's Inlet there is strip of land gradually sloping back to the mountain from half a mile to mile and half in width, and about three miles in length. This is the probable townsite. The island is separated from the mainland by narrow passage, but the mainland is rocky and unsuitable for buildings. To the west of kaen Island and sepa rated from it by strip of deep water, less than mile in width, which forms the entrance to Tuck's Inlet is Digby Island, 7,250 acres in size. This is comparatively level island with good soil, but it is Indian reserve. Digby Island forms the western breakwater to Tuck's Inlet, which is about ten miles in length. Coming in from the Pacific by Browns Entrance there is channel a mile wide with uniform depth of over eighteen fathoms. On most charts this has been erroneously marked foul water" When near the west shore of kaen Island q turn is made to the north, passing between Digby Island on the left and kaen Island on the right.
 This is the immediate entrance. An other turn, this time to the east, brings one to the proposed townsite, situated on a magnificent landlocked harbor, large enough to float the British navy. The provincial government has reserved the mountainous part of kaen Island, worthless for building purposes, but suitable for mountain park.

Lese Majeste a Source of Petty Spite and Persecution...Amazing
 Number of Cases.

The records of punishment for lese majeste shows an amazing condition in the German ampire, according to a special Berlin cablegram printed in the San Francisco Call not long ago.
 Lese majeste, briefly expressed, is the crime of uttering an insult to the ruling monarch of the country.
 During the year 1904 there were 3,956 convictions for lese ma jeste in Germany. Of this number approximately 3, ,50O per sons were arrested for insulting the Ger man emperor, 250 persons for insulting the King of SaXony, and POO persons for insulting one or other of the remaining German monarchs. The sentences pass ed amounted to an aggregate period of 4,09S years. All classes of the popula tion had their share of punishment for lese majeste. The total of 3,956 was made up as follows: 2,40O wordmen in towns, 600 agricultural workmen, 800 commercial men of all classes, POO wo- men of all classes, lO5 professional men, and 100 children under Is years of age. It should not be supposed that there were more convictions in 1904 than in other years of recent date. On the con trary the number of convictions for this offense remained beneath the average for the last quarter of century.
 The federal German empire contains twenty states over which independent sovereigns reign. These monarchs, in- significant as many of them are, are con additionally on an equal footing with their fellowsovereign, the King of Prus sia, who is the German emperor; and lese majeste can be committed by being disrespectful to any one of those twenty royal personages. They are the King of Bavaria (and at present the regent of Bavaria), the King of Saxony, the King of Wurttemberg, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- -Strelitz, the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, the Grand Duke of iIesse, the Grand Duke of Weimar, the Grand Duke of Baden, the Duke of An helt the Duke of Saxe- -Meiningen, the Duke of SaxeAltenberg, the Duke of Saxe-C Coburg -tiotha, the Prince of Lippe, the Prince of Schaumburg Lippe, the Prince of Schwarzburg-L -Lippe, the Prince of Schwarzburg- Rudolstadt, the Prince of Schwarzburg Sondershausen, the Prince of Reuss ,elder linel, the Prince of Reuss tyoungcr linel, and the Prince of Waldeck.
 The absurdity of the conception of lese majeste Is illustrated in several of these eases. The King of Bavaria Is a raving mailman who erawls about on his hands and knees, barks like dog, eats his fuod of the gruund like an animal. and k altogether much more of beast than a man. Nevertheless it k crimi- nal uffen-e Co utter any remark which could be construed as di-rvspeetial Co his royal person. The Prince ut LipIe and the Prince oi Eeuss ehler line are also hopeless lunaties whose dominions

Prince of SchaumburgLippe is an insig- niticant individual who reigns over a state 130 square miles in area, with a total population of 43, ,OOO, and the village of Buckeburg, containing 5000 inhabi- tants, as its capital. It is, however, a criminal offense for any one in any part of Germany to be disrespectful to his royal highness the Prince of Schaum- burg -Lippe. There are thus many pit falls for the unwary person who commits the imprudence of discussing any one of the score of royal personages in Ger many.
 The character of the offense is ex- pounded in no less than 125 paragraphs of the German statute book, and 900 books of legal reference have been pub lished for the information of lawyers on this complicated question.
 It is not necessary for the ''insult" to be actually uttered. It can be indicated or implied by bodily actions. If, for in- stance, when the emperor is driving through the streets of Berlin any casual spectator fails to take off his hat as mark of respect to the imperial person he may be arrested on the spot and will certainly be convicted. The excuse that he did not recognize the emperor is not accepted. The precedent has been laid down in more than one case that if d man did not recognize the emperor he ought to have done so. If a person were to point to photograph of the emperor hanging in shop window and at the same time had a disrespectful or cynical or mocking or angry expression on his face, and a bystander construed the as- pect of his features as an indication of his feelings toward the imperial person, arrest and conviction might follow. If any one looking at a photograph of the emperor were to express the opinion that the brushed-up ends of his mus tache presented a ridiculous appearance he would be liable to conviction.
 The privacy of the home does not pal Hate so-called offense A frivolous word between husband and wife or par ent and child, construed as disrespectful to the emperor, is lese majeste. This leads spiteful wives, husbands, children or servants to make false accusations, with the direst results. One witness be- ing enough to convict and the rules of evidence in these case3 being favorable to the accusing side, petty revenge often leads to conviction on false testimony.
 A curious case is cited where a new house of several stories had been erected in a suburb of Berlin when one of the bricklayers who had assisted to build it informed the police that the architect had walled in document containing statements which amounted to aggra- vated leSe majeste in one of the founda- ton stones. The entire building was actually pulled down, but no document was found. At the last moment the bricklayer disappeared and is still wanted by the police.
 A miller, on reading a certain speech of the kaiser, remarked that he was less wise than solomon, and was given three months. Plenty of instances almost as frivolous are named.

Observation Car. for Women.

Rah for the Chicago. Milwaukee
& ST. Paul Railway. 1t has advanc-
ed at one leap, fifty years to the
lead. by putting on observation cars
which have compartments for wo-
men.
Ordinarily a woman is pretty much
of an intruder in an observation car,
whe she has the nerve to fight her
way through the tobacco smoke and
timidly pick out a seat which isn't
occupied by the feet of some imper-
ial male being.
There is no doubt about it, the
most effective answer to the man
who claims America to be a paradise
for chivalry would be to dress him
ap as a woman and make him spend
two days in an American railway
coach. The custom of providing
