This log and line with a small sand glass completed

log line was divided on bx knots. the distance be-

Sand glass was OF an hour. Therefore the number
OF knots which ran out 10 the time measured by
the sand glass represented the number Of nautical

point Of view. Nevertheless We must
Oonfoss 60 some diniculty in following
his reasoning:
There is practically no suCh thing an aRin In
the competitions. ThouSandS who spend few
shillngs In trying cannot write line that asADs.
The hrSt sOrsrs who open Che letters and take OUT
the sixpcncss reiect the lines that do not scan.
Then there ls another sitting aud In the end small
number are sent To the Judge. The ultimate Judge
no doubt does his best but provided the lines scan
there is really no such difference In their quality
a. makes the result certain Other judges would
come to other conclusions perhaps no two com
petent persons would be agreed. Sometimes by
a stroke af luck an lilteratc person hits a fair
line aud wins prize"
Why "by a strobe of luck? Why not
"by a heaven sent inspiration" such as
has visited other unlearned> >bards? We
do not find in oil this any proof that liter
Rry skill is absent from the competitions.
On the contrary, the doctor declares that
skill in prOsOdy is an absolute requisite.
All lines that do not scan are fired at
the first sorting. As for the complaint
that "Other judges might come TO other
conclusions" the fact that tastes differ
does not Danish art from the world.
No. il it is once admitted that such
competitions are iustifable provided
that literary skill is useful in them. we
perceive no moral OF legal ground for
suppressing them. The decision Of the
British Judge in their favor seems unas-
sailable, If his premises be accepted
Anglo-SaxOn countries are not qlOne
in institlting such pOetical joUsts. The
corresponding game in France il that
ancient one of bouts Tim6s. where two
pairs Of rhyming words are supplied and
the competitor has to fill in the rest Of the
four lines. In the Cos no less a parsonage
than ALEXANDRA DUMAS the elder started
such a competition in the Paris Petit
Journal. The results seemed TO him
sufficiently valuable TO be published
in a volume edited by himself, which
may be found in any list of his works.
II il true that by then DUMAS was in such
a state Of abject craving for nOtOriety that
one Of his acquaintance described him
IA ready to make a STR by taking his
shirt Off in the street.
1t is a question which Of the two
competitions offers the larger scope for
talent. In the limericks the candidate
has only to invent one line; in the bouts
rim6s nearly the whole of four. In the
former, on the other hand, he must fur
nish a rhyme, but not in the latter, and
rhyme is prOverbially "the rudder of

The Abolition Or Imprisonment for
life

We think il il not generally known that
imprisonment FOR life haS practically bs5E
abolished in the State of New York.
Prior to the present year the crime Of
murder in the second degree has been
punishable in this State only in one man
ner that is to say, by life Imprisonment
in a State prison. The Penal Code pro-
vides that murder in the first degree is
punishable by death and has heretofore
provided that murder in the second de-
gree sis punishable by the Imprisonment
for the offenders natural life" Section
1877. from which we take the words quoted,
was amended, however. by the Iegisla-
ture of 1907 40 az TO read IA follows:
Murder In the second degree Is banIshabIe by
imprisonment under an iudcterminate sentence. the
minimum of which shall be twenty years and the
maximum Of which shall be for the Offenders nat
urai life: and person serving term OF mprison
ment for life under original sentence for murder
In the second degree, when this section, amended
takes effect. shall be deemed to be thereafter serv-
Ing under such an Indetermnate sentence"
This amendment has brought about a
radical change in our criminal law re-
garding one Of the graRest offences Of
which il takes cOgnizance. The effect
of the amendment is to empower the
State Board Of Commissioners for Paroled
Prisoners, after q person convicted of
murder in the second degree has been
incarcerated twenty years, to discharge
such convict from any further imprisOn-
noank ,,Ddar aha aantanna To s,,afif,y
this action on their part it il only neces-
sary that it shall appear to the Board Of
Commissioners that there in reasonable
probability that the prisoner will live
and remain at liberty without violating
the law and that his absolute discharge
from imprisonment is not incompatible
with the welfare Of society" This is the
language Of the general prison law OF the
state as amended in 1902.
L. will be observed that the amendment
OF section 1877 Of the Penal Code. which
took effect on September last, not only
substitutes an indeterminate sentence for
the former absolute sentence Of imprison-
ment for life in cases of murder in the
second degree, but also provides that
any person serving under a life sentence
for murder in the second degree when
the amendment took effect should be
dealt with under the section as amended
that is to say, the amendment empowered
the State Board Of ParOled Prisoners at
once to discharge any life convict who
had served a term Of twenty years il
they saw a. so to do. Indeed this course

II is apparent that nothing can pre-
serve the natural beauty of the Hudson
River except statutory enactments 20
prevent the activities Of the quarfymen.
The Palisades have been saved. but above
them the traprOck dealers are hard at
work doing their selfish best to obliterate
some Of the noblest natural scenery in
the world.
Now it is proposed to form an Organi-
zation. with members in alt the river
counties. the object OF which shall be
TO obtain the legislation necessary 20
put an end to this vandalism. The power
of public opinion to procure the needed
laws has been proved already The read
mess Of the public to aid such cause is
not questioned The organization would
give to this irresistible public sentiment a
weapon with which to make its fight 10
restrain the destrOyers Of the rivers
beauty.
What New Jersey and New York united
70 do for the Palisades New York alone
must do for the upper reaches Of the
Hudson; and there is no doubt of the
Legislatures attitude on the subject If
the matter is only brought properly be-
fore it, To get the facts before the law
makers is the object Of the Hudson River
League, and it should receive the active
support of all lovers Of nature.
