4 QUEER BILL.

That is curious bill before the Mas sachusetts legislature which authorizes jury to qualify the verdict of mur- der in the first degree by adding the words without capital punishment" As a jury in Massachusetts can now bring in a verdict which will avoid the application of capital punishment this proposed device hardly seems 10 be needed. As the Boston Transcript points out, it is now difficult to set q jury to agree as to the guilt of an of- fender. Under the proposed plan its members would have to agree also as to the punishment; q disagreement would mean a new trial, and the re- suit of that threat would be that the eleven men who wanted the murderer executed, upon whose guilt the twelve had agreed, would yield to the one man who was opposed to capital punishment or for other reasons was unwilllngs to send the particular prisoner to his death. It would thus come to pass, in practical operation, that this modi- fication of the law would amount to a practical abolition of the death penalty.
 That's about the size of It. When Massachusetts is ready to abolish the death penalty t will be sensible for her to abolish 1t without indrection.

 Some interesting experiments are in progress at Fort Riley, Kansas, with knapsacks for field artillery. One of the efforts made was 10 ascertain whether the army kit wagon could car " ninety knapsacks with the same number of shelter tents. This estimate was made with the idea of facilitating the transportation of this equipment in the field. The test has so far been un- satisfactory to the extent that kit wagon could not carry more than sev- enty-five knapsacks.
