ST. PETERSBURG, July 2L-Out of
the chaos which has existed during the
last few days one feature OF the new
situation has impressed itself on every
citizen. This is the fact that the Gov
ernment. temporarily. at least. again
completely dominates affairs. With the
restoration Of the ruling power OF its
disputed authority It is equally as eyi-
dent that the reactionary influences
which have steadfasty cOmbatted the
revolution are practically In complete
control. The situation may be briefly
sized up by saying the government Is
again supreme. the TaaCtionaries dOmi-
nate the government, the troops have
cowed both the douma and the people
into temporary subsection, and the
rack down Of the dOuma in altering its
appeal 10 the nation has already injured

What is the remedy for the social

That Is comprehensive. I would
Tather attempt 10 answer a dozen spe-
citic questions. but I think I may answer
this by saying when the sancuty OF
the marriage vow and the obligation
or family relations are more fully real

becomes more general. We may look
for better conditions.

AN ELECTRIC FENCE.
Albany Phosphate Company Protects
Its Property in Unique Manner.

Albany Phosphate Company Protects
Its Property in Unique Manner.
There is fence around the huge
plant of the Albany Phosphate Com
pany just north of the city that is
rather unusual. 1t is, in fact, the
only fence of it's kind in this section
of the State.
The fence is an ordinary wire cattle
renee, around the top of which cleo
trio wires are strung on glass insula-
tors. These wires are constantly
charged with 22O volts of electricity.
AS the Albany Phosphate Company
employs convict labor it was necessary
to have some means to prevent them
from escaping. The idea of the cleo
trio fence was suggested by Superin-
tendent Hardy who used such a fence
with great success around cattle
ranches in the West, though with a
different purpose There the fence
was used so that when the current be-
came broken it indicated that the
fence around the ranch was down at
some point and that there was danger
of the cattle getting through the open
ing and escaping from the enclosure.
Here the wires on the top of the
fence are more heavily charged, the
object being to prevent convicts from
escaping and to keep providers out of
the company's property. AS all the
convicts working at the plant are
shackled it is impossible for one to
climb over the fence. The iron in the
shackles comes in contact with the
live electric wires and gives the
would-be escape such a shock that he
invariably cries for help. Several
convicts have made attempts to climb
over the electric fence, but none has
succeeded and each one swears that
one attempt is enough.
With this electric fence it is not
necessary to keep very close guard on
the convicts scattered all over the big
plant, but it would be very difficult to
guard the convicts were it not for the
fence.
Besides keeping the convicts inside,
the fence also serves to keep providers
out of the companys enclosure and
saves them wood, coal and other arti
cles of value which might be picked up
around a plant of this kind.-Albany

the slaves owned by her father, and
which the slave States recognized as
