he called the man at Belle Isle over
the strait a hundred miles away, and
told him to pass the word along the
line that there was big work ahead.
The word was passed down to the Of
fice OF the management in Ottawa.
Spracklin worked twenty hours out OF
every twenty-four for five days alone
and unaided save for the relief his
engineer gave him while he was eat
ing his meals. Spracklin and all the
others pounded the key during those
five days. not knowing at what min
ute the spark would fall because OF
the strain pnt upon the apparatus.
Spracklin would send two. three or
four thousand words, then stop. Each
succeeding station below would re-
ceive, then forward this amount, and
not untili 1t had all been put upon the
cables at Cape Ray would the next
installment be launched.
Here is how Peary's story was zig

Harbor It went southeastward across
the Straits OF Belle Isle to the sta

the island OF that name. Belle Isle
relayed to Point Amour. back to the
westward and on the southern tip of
Labrador.
Point Amour sent the message to
the east and south again to Point
Richie, on the west coast of New.
foundland north OF Bay OF Islands
From Point Richis the spark Jumped
westward once more and across the
Gulf of st. Lawrence to Heath Point
on the island OF Anticosti. The final
jump was back again to the New.
foundland coast, where at Cape Ray
the message was put on the cable.
Not for many years will the men
who sit on the tops OF crags In New

through the air to the world below
the news Of ships and of msn have
such task to perform.

REFORMATION AS A CRIME CURE.
BY Casino q. RomiHJ

Il ia now an uncontested truth that our
methods for dealing with crime have been
sadly defective. We have regarded punish
ment only from the deterrent and retributive
standpoints, and have paid no attention
whatever to the reformative. There is
movement to try to help and reform Grimm
ais, and so by reclamation to cure crime by
going to the root of the evil. and by studying

crimnology a science. This movement Is growing
day by day. flowing in like enormous that is
beyond the power of to check. The abolition Of
capital punishment is only small part Of this great
movement, but part of mean importance One hun
dred years ago death the penalty in England for
enormous number of oenses, and among others for
counterfeitng for the sale OF perfumery and
also of certificates for hair powder We have made
progress at least We altogether more hui
than then.
Let remember that two wrongs do not make
right and that the state does not annul the murder by
putting the murderer to death. but instead makes 1t
double tragedy. Some countries have abolished capital
punishment but 1t still remains blot to honor and
religion" That spirit which has abolished the
punishmens of drawing and quarterng In the past will
abolish the punishment OF death In the future.
