Coaling Depot Aaoat.

the caption."A Coaling Depot Afioat, .
F. A. TruebDood thus describes the
new system:
The increased dimensions of war

combined with the growth OF the nav
les. renders the storage of large guam
Titles Of coal imperative, and the
rapid charging of the vessels bunkers
desirable to maintain efficiency. Stor-
age on quays presents many disad-
vantages. for not only is much valu-
able space occupied that could be
turned to much more profitable ac-
count, but the task of ddscharging the
fuel therefrom to vessels is attended
with many difficulties, since the ia
ci,ities of handling are necessarily
somewhat limited.
I'm order to overcome, If possible,
these disadvantages, the British adj
mirality recently decided to test a
new type of floating coaling depot
equipped with the latest facilities for
transshipping coal to war vessels. For
this purpose a contract was placed
with the Temperiy Transporter com.
pany of Bishopsgate street, London,
for one of their patent depots with a
capacity of l20DO tons.
1t is possible to moor the depot at
ANY convenient spot in the harbor,
thus leaving the quays unoccupied
for more valuable work. Greater
storage capacity Within defined
space is secured. while there is no

what osteopathy wan DO.

There are but few people who have
not heard of Osteopathy, also of
some of its achievements. But there
are far too many who have sccredit-
ed it with being good for only those
conditions from which they have
been cured, or which have come un-
der their observation. Not infrequent-
ly there is mutual surprise when one
who was cured of rheumatism meets
another who has been cured of asth-
ma or constipation. This is homely,
but very true illustration.

PROCURE RICH LAND By FRAUD
California Mineral Lands Are Locat-
cd as Homestead Tracts.

San Francisco, Feb. p In a state
ment given ont last night Lewis E.
Aubery, state mineraIogist, declares
that immense tracts of rich mineral
lands in all parts of the state have
been gobbled up by fraud. Lands
rich in gold and copper have been
located as nonmineral and taken in
homestead tracts of 100 acres. He
says frauds have been discovered all
the way from Siskiyou county to
Death Valley. Millions of dollars
worth of the yellow metal have been
extracted from this land Most OF
the land is worthless for farming
purposes.

English Humor

In a paper on Humor in the Feb
ruary Lippincott's Marvin Dana de-
tends our British Cousins, as fol-
lows:
As to the English, they are not
dull, as we sometimes contend; they
are merely different For the rest, the
English. or rather the British, wit
and humor are the most comprehen-
sive and the best in the world, next
to the American. Indeed in the col
Ionies we are apt to find the spirit
which we claim as essentially Amer
lean in the fun of every day. A Cana
dian story Is told Of a raw Irish girl
who went to clergyman and asked
to know what fee ne charged for
marrying. She was told, dollar and
a half. After an intervar of few
weeks, she appeared again, present
ed the specified sum, and babe the
minister go ahead.
Where is the .bridegroom?''l' the
clergyman. inquired. rs
What" cried Bridget, in amazed
indignation. Don't you furnish the
man for dollar and a half?"
AS a rule, humor, rather than wit.
is tine British characteristic. The fun
lis found in absurd situations that
have no suggestionaof malice to-
wards any one. Dickens tells of two
men who were about to be hanged,
and who were together on a scat
fold erected in a public place. All
about them, below, an immense con-
course waited. At this moment a bull
which was being taken to market
ran amuck in the crowd, and began
goring persons right and left. Bill, Oh
the scaffold. turned to his companion
and said: c
81 say, Jim, it's good thing we
are not in that crowd"
Another English Joke is of veg
etarisn who proposed to woman,
whereupn she delivered herself Of
the following scathing words: GO
along with you! What? Be flesh of
your flesh, and you a-living on cab
bage? Go and marry a grass wild
owl"

THREW MISSILE
THROUGH WINDOW
Insane Deed of Half Witted
Creature Yesterday
Was Sent TO Penitentiary Once for
Burning Three Houses i'm Me-
chanicsburg.
HIS WAY OF GETTING EVEN.

William Moore, who has served
two terms in the Eddyville peniten-
tiary for crimes committed in Padu-
cab, was fined $50 and costs in police
court this morning for throwing a
brick through the window of Fred
Kreutzer's bakery last night He
pleaded guilty but gave no explana-
ton of his act.
Moore is not considered entirely
those who know him all
leging that he is weak minded. About
seven years ago he first appeared in
the criminal limelight. While the
fire department was fighting a fire at
the Campbell building on Broadway
an alarm came In from Mechanics
burg. A grocery and three houses
were afire, and some of the hose
used at the Campbell building was
hurriedly thrown into the hose wag-
on and taken to the scene.
Moore had taken advantage of the
occasion to secure revenge on r. S.
Barnett by setting fire to his gro
Gerry. The building burned with
three other houses. Moore got one
year for this, and later was sent up
for a term for another felony. He
has not been out of the penitentiary
more than 80 days.

and his last chance and hope by
branding him in his adolescence as a
thief, without doing all in our power
to rectify those conditions which hui
man agencies have imposed upon
him. If his criminal tendency is a
disease, incurable in its nature. IL Is
well for US to learn that fact in his
infancy that we may protect our
selves against him. There are many
calls for such an institution as the
Juvenile court. Henderson has just
inaugurated one and other cities are
awakening TO the moral obligation OF
saving youths from lives OF sin and
crime.

THE Juvenile COURT.

iPaducah's need of "a juvenile court
was never more plainly manifested
than in the case OF Bert Roberts,
George Gains, Clover Holland, Fort
jackson and Harry Fletcher, the lit
tie lads sent to the reform school for
burglary
In the first place, the term reform
SCHOOL, would be joke if it were
not so serious a matter. No one ex-
poets a youngster, sent to that insti-
tuition TO reform They are sent
there as hopeless criminals, just as
their elders are sent TO the peniten-
tiary. and when they come out, the
probabilities are that their criminal
tendency is reinforced by a broad
theoretical education in all branches
Of criminal endeavor.
Some of these five, perhaps, wild be
benefited, because 1t would be inn
possible to place in them under con-
ditlons that would make them worse;
but one or two among them may be
the sport of environment, the victims
of physical degeneracy or controlled
by fundamentally good traits wrong
ly developed Many a youth, whose
daring spirit has made him easy prey
for the wiles of evil associates, has
turned out to be a first-class man,
when brought under the proper in
fiuence and that same spirit directed
in legitimate channels. Boys IL. 70,
13 and IA years old, are not too
matured to be turned from ways of
evil. and the reformation Of one en-
bryo criminal and the converting of
social outcast into a wealth pro-
ducer is worth all the money such, a
court would cost.
Under our present form of trial
only the actual guilt of the youth
and his past record are inquired into,
and on these and other like circum-
stances his punishment is fixed, for
punishment Il is and nothing else.
Under the Juvenile court system, the
home surroundings, the social envi-
ronments, the physical and mental
condition of the child, and the re-
sponsibility of his parents for his
conduct are inquired into and estab-
lished. Some times nothing more
than pressure on the brain, starva-
ton and improper home environ
ments. are responsible for the child S
conduct Knowing what produces
the cause that led to the perpetuation
of crime the court can pronounce
Judgment, not to punish the child
or put it away from the community
for a term. but to effectually put a
stop TO its criminal aggressions. Ger
tainly, any means that Will save so
oiety from the development in its
midst of a probable thief and a pos
sible murderer is worth its price.
1t is unjust to child, who is

JURY REFORM IN SEVERAL
STATES.

Other legislatures besides that OF
Illinois win be asked this winter to
reform the jury system In Illinois
or at least in Cook county, the fault
lies chiefly with the weak and timid
and negligent judges, but while not
little in the way of improvement
and economy could be done even un.
der the existing law. the bills that
have been prepared by a committee
of lawyers and citizens and iniorsed
by many business men aim at chan.
ges that require legislative action.
In New York very good jury law
was enacted some years ago, but SO
many acts have been passed for the
exemption of various classes of men
from jury duty that it is becoming
difficult to obtain fit talesmen. The
whole burden has practically been
placed on merchants, clerks and some
professional men. The number of
professions and trades relieved of the
duty is very long. and annually some
additions are made to 1t. Public ac-
countants ask exemption this year
The men of affairs complain that too
great sacrifice of time and the val
nc of time is demanded of them and
of course, the result is to encourage
Sinking and evasion.
In Massachusetts the jury system
also needs overhauling, but the trou-
Bile is Of a different nature. There
the business men manage to escape,
and the quality of those drawn is
steadily deterlorating. Judges have
publicly declared that drunkards, loa-
fers, men of criminal records. and
even insane persons have served on
Boston juries. In one recent case one
of the jurors was after the trial
shown to have been criminally prose
cuted rs different times and to have
been sentenced to prison almost as
many times. The verdict had to be
set aside because OF the mans lack
of moral character"
Moreover, jury service in Suffolk
county is a part of the patronage
system, of spoils politics. Governor
Guild said in his recent message that
pressure was being VIGOROUSLY ex-
erted to secure places on jurles as a
compensation for political service. .
He called accordingly for legislation
safeguarding the preparation OF jury
lists from improper influences.
1t is all very well to cry for better
jurors, but there will be no lasting
improvement as long as technicali-
ties and absurdities and musty legal
notions make speedy and reasonable
procedure an impossibility. The way
to reform the jury system is quite
clear Courts and lawyers must be-
gin by simplifying and rationalIzing
practice. Record Herald.
