THE "PEN" NEWS sUsPENDs.
No Printers Available for the Neces
sary Mechanical Department..

The Columbus Penitentiary News,
for many years famous and four
ishing daily newspaper, published by
convicts, has recently suspended pub
lication for the very 'ood reason that
there is not LIFT in tnat big penal in
stitution a single man who. can han
die type. S.
Bankers are there in plenty. More
than twenty, and more are on the
way. Several convict banks might
be operated, with men to spare.
Enough lawyers are there to take
care of an enormous amount of legal
business.
Doctors, brokers and other "emi-
nently respectable" citizens are not
lacking,
r. Business men, farmers, mechanics
and representatives of almost every
other department of Industrial activ-
ity are common there
But there is not one printer!
The feet throws new light on a
character that has long been COM
monty misjudged.
The printer does not pi his spirit
ual and moral form.
The printer to-day Is a hometown
er. He Is of fixed employment and
he has no time for late suppers and
fast riding in the benzine buggy. He
is-and always was-far above the
average man in information and in
telligence. All the notable events of
human life pass through his. hands
and make impress on his brain.
The fact that more than twenty
bankers are in the Ohio penitentiary,
and not one printer, tells Of the rela-
tive honesty Of the printer OF to-day
and tells more, for there are ten
printers in the land to one banker.
1t shows us that the most common
and most dangerous crimes Of to-day
are not being committed by the
worlds workers.

Tho Old Enalish Danes, Schools.

The descriptions of some of the
danes and other schools of the early
part of the nineteenth century are ex-
ceedingly interesting Many of these
ancient teachers were unable to write
an intelligent answer to a simple ques-
ton. One on being asked as to the
terms on which she gave instruction
replied: Not understanding the ques-
ton, l answer thus: With view of
reading the Bible" We have the au-
thority of the late Lord Shaftesbury for
the statement that one of these poor
creatures, being asked if she gave
moral instruction to her scholars, re-
piled, mo, can't afford it at shil-
lings week." A more amusing an
swer, however, was that of the teach
er who was asked whether proper at

boys under his care. His answer was
that they did not teach morals there,

How Frost Affects Plants.

Plants do not freeze to death in Win
ter, but perish from thirst The proc
ess is simple. The cold causes the
withdrawal of the water from the cells
of the plant, forming ice crystals out
side of the cells. The frost. cooling
and contracting the surface acts as a
sort of pump. and as soon as the cell
is emptied of its life giving fluid the
plant dies. The truth of this theory
has been proved by numerous careful
experiments. Great variation was
found in the amount of cold necessary
to cause the death of vegetation Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point is reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather.
and some die only at 90 degrees be-
low. Certain vegetable growtls never
freeze. There are forms of bacteria
that even when immersed in liquid air,
the intensest cold available, come out
of their bitter bath as clipper and live

witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century.

sviSSiSi oi& III VIC iNtuSkSSuSn NOhSOFys
Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
Salem witch mania" ran it's course
and died out in the year 1892 1t did
as far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but in other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
lie until much later date, even if it
can be truly said to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured to
death as late as 1907 on the charge of
being one who "communed with evil
spirits" and in Spain witch was
burned in 1908. In 1850 in France a
man and his wife tortured suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was
done with them by the criminal courts
on account of the lingering belief in
sorcery. -Four years later a witch was
drowned in England, and in 1860 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
publicly burned in Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
of witches were had in Prussia, Po-
land and Austria Hungary.
