In all these places the climate Is the

Ing to establish in some part OF the world
a new penal colony.
The labor at the convict settlements Is OF
the hardest. The prisoners work In chain

build bitches or break roads, and are for

INSTRUMENTATION is punished by iashes OF
cowhtde whips in. the hands of the over

and various ingenious instruments OF tor
ture. The food Is a meager allowance for
such severe toll, consisting of boiled beef
and dried beans. Good behavior serves In
time, however, to tighten the task or to
change 1t to something less rough and
manual, since the workings of a great penal
institution offer many positions as rewards
or favors.
The effect of prison life Is disastrous on
character. whatever may be its aIleviations.
The reply of the convict Berezewski, who
In 1867 fired upon the car on a visit to
France Is characteristic of the enervat-

have been at stake when such laws were

their fellows. The moral effect of encour-

of code and application. On the same
principal capital punishment Is recommend
ed as being warning to murderers. But
a murder case has never yet been found
where the assassin did not either cover his
tracks so as to believe he would escape. or
else act in the blind heat OF rage that
would have dealt the blow under the very
shadow of the galiows. And so, one may
question how far this purpose is served
with the prison cell meted out to all who
have snned presumptively. But law is law
In France and neither can argument pre-
vail nor escape be hoped for.
