Gin climbing is amusement which makes ii

cliffs of the English coast have long afforded amuse
uent to adventurous male spirits. but the
women. too have taken to descending over S0o-foot
walls into windy. echoing depths. where they bark
their shns tear their hands and begrime their
faces in their search for birds eggs which the
professional 'climmers' would gladly get for them.
The sport is said to furnish glorious sensations TO

clear Of the sharp projecting snags of rock which

descent is comparatively simple matter. The
ascent is more difficult and makes yer bounce, y
the "climmers" say. The rope Is paid out and
drawn up again by means OF wind'ass and the
climber is either seated in chair or has the rope
fastened to leather band about her waist the

water?"
Admiral Evans laughed aud rGpled:

what the incident really was. One
drlZzly day during the blockade we
stood in toward the harbor and shelled
the shore batteries. II wasn't us eX-

FARM WORK BY PRISONERS,

Realizing that crime in many in
stances is the result of early envir-
onment, which made the criminal
what he is, The Danish government
takes a paternal interest in those
who are brought within the charge
Of the prison authorities" said Eric
Herland, a lumber merchant of Ira
verse City, Mich, who has been on
a visit TO his native land, Denmark.
Denmark still possesses in the
heaths OF Jutland large undeyel-
oped territory that requires much
labor to make II suitable for agri-
cultural purposes" continued Mr.
Herland. "Of late years, however,
many farms have begun to dot this
Jutland landscape. Through per-
sistent efforts trees are now in evi-
dence where formerly the heaths
were barren except for unbroken
stretches of ling. Acres of grain
bearing soil have replaced the tough
underground that was good for Moth
ing but the torch.
THE work of reclaiming the Da-
nish heaths has been accomplished
largely through the cooperation of
the Danish prison authorities and in
dividuals who wished TO embark in
farming on their own account and
had no means of buying ground. In
such instances every inducement is
offered the agriculturist TO become
the owner of plot of ground on the
heath For him to break up the
earth single handed and start busi-
ness would be physical impossibil-
ity. 1t is here the prisoners do the
preliminary work,
"A freedom which will not infringe
on the regulations necessary to keep
up discipline is enjoyed by the pris-
oners on the Danish heath, but the
work is no child's play. Severe as
is the labor, however, seldom is a
prisoner heard to complain, for il
such complaints should reach the
ears OF the officials the convict
would at once be deprived of this
semi-liberty aud returned to the con-
hnement of the prison. The average
human being loves liberty too we'll
to voluntarily exchange ii for the
prison cell,
IAN important adjunct is found in
the large dogs which are feature
of the prison colony on the heath
There is little doubt that these -four
footed guards inspire respect. -
