passed before the latter received a first
hearing.
The food furnished the prisoners Is said
to be too little to live on. and too much
20 starve on. If one OF these poor fel-
lows should happen not 20 have any rel
atives or friends TO supply him with food,
he must depend for It on the compassion
Of his luck!er companions in misfortune
or suffer hunger.
Regarding sleeping accommodations,
the conditions are even worse. Twenty
70 thirty prisoners are crowded into one
cell, which contains neither table nor
chairs, and where the damp. filthy floor
offers the only place for rest and sleep.
There is no distinction made as 10 age
or grade OF crime. and old men and boys,
murderers and simple drunkards share
the same cell, sleeping side by side and
eating Of the same dish.
II is remarkable. however. that no sad
faces are TO be seen among these prison
ers. On the contrary. many Of them look
joyous, and some seem even 70 be su-
premely happy. Should they ever con-
spire to effect an escape. II would be a
small matter for them, as the prisoners
have free communication with each
other, and their guards. as far as one
can observe. are Of small number and
decidedly negligent in the performance Of
their duties. There are no special OBJ
stacles put in the way Of friends and
relatives who wish to visit prisoners. and
myself observed inmates of ground
floor cells, the windows Of which opened
on the street, entering into conversations
with passersby and receiving food
through the iron gratings
The pententiary buildings consist of an
old monasterylike structure, on the sur
rounding walls of which sentinels are
placed at intervals in such a way that
the outer vicinity. as we'll as the court
yards Of the building. may be watched
at the same time. This is the sole penal
institution Of the country. and 1t contains
only long-term and life prisoners. but
they seem to enjoy much the same sort
of treatment which I had observed IN the
municipal jail
The prisoners move about freely In the
semi-dark vaulted corridors and paw each

Most Of the doors were open, and a
glance into the rooms showed the in

which seemed more pastlme than earnest
occupation. Several individuals were lott
ering about in the courtyards, while
others. like Neapolitan lazzaroni, were
lazily squatting in the sunshine. Only
few cells were locked.
But by far the most interesting inmate
Of the penitentiary was a little boy Of
about five years, an orphan, whose faith
er. a long-term criminal, had been al
lowed TO keep the little fellow with him
until further disposition, ventured to
express an opinion as to the baleful infu-
ence which this life IN the penal institu-
ton must have on the growing boz but
the director informed me that so far the
contrary was the case and that the little
fellow was seemingly exercising a bene-
fetal influence on the prisoners, whose
general pet he was and who overwhelmed
him with toys and saved for him the
choicest morsels Of the prison fare

PRIMITIVE MAN DIFFERENT.
Discovery of Skeleton I'm France
Produces Interesting Theory.

Produces Interesting Theory.
Paris April 1.-THE study OF the pre-
historic skeleton discovered last fall in
the French department Of Dordogne has
produced an interesting theory concern
ing the primitive races of Europe and
their origin. II may be recalled that this
tho first absolutely perfect skeleton OF
q man from the older stone age was
named Homo aurignacensis hauseri, after
Prof. Hauser, who first located il in its
blocked up cave.
Prof. Klaatsch Of Breslau found that
1t represented an entirely different race
from the famous Neanderthal men and
all other known primitive men. The
Aurignac race was slight and graceful,
had very straight bones and proportions
which Indicate that dexterlty had al
ready to some extent replaced brute
force. He now announces that the find
proves that in the glacial epoch Europe
had two absolutely distinct races Of men
which after a fight for mastery at a
central European point blended together.
The modern population of southern
Europe, Prof Klaatsch says, IS descended
from this mixture. On the other hand.
the Germanic people sprang directly
from the Aurignac race. The Neander-
thai men came first from Africa with an
African fauna. The negroid races, the
gorilla and chimpanzee. are remote rela-
uves Of this race.
The Aurignac race probably came from
Asia, and the orang-outang is their near
est monkey relative. Further back both
races originated in the vanished CONT
nent OF Lemuria, which lay between
Africa, Asia and Australia They ar
rived in Europe by different paths.

GYR0SCOPE ON AEROPLANES.
French Scientist Has Apparatus
Which Makes Flight Secure.

Paris. April 16.-M. Carpenter. Of the
French Academy Of Science. has IN
vented an apparatus which promises 20
be great step toward the practical use
OF aeroplanes. Il is a gyroscope aCtU-
ated by a small dynamo, and the expert
ments carried out so far show that by
its use the flight Of flying machines IS
rendered as steady and secure as the
flight OF a bird
The scientists Of the academy are much
impressed by the appliance. and have
baptized it the brain Of the aeroplane.
In fact, it seems that an aerop.ane fitted
with it may even dispense with an avia-
tor. as the machine can be made 20
travel from one point TO another alone.
Once the motor has stopped, the aero
plane will descend smoothly, supported
by the action Of the gyroscope-

Italian Telegraph System Poor.

London, April 16.-The Italian telegraph
system is probably the most inefficient in
Europe. kilograms from any large Italian
city rarely take less than three hours in

Rome is the best OF all. but ordinarily il
takes at least three hours for a telegram
from Rome to reach London.

palladium Special,

New York, Nov. 22.-Usually the
excitement incident to every cam
paign and general election In New
York Is followed by q reaction which.
by contrast with the previous turmoil
and noise. makes things appear de.
cidediy tame. But there was no such
abatement Of excitement after the
election of last week. The big strikes
with their daily crop OF violence and
rioting supplied excitement enough to
satisfy even the most sensation crav-
Ing citizens.
From time immemorial 1T has been
the custom after every election for the
defeated side to hold what might be
called "post-mortem," to ascertain
the cause or causes of their defeat.
Since the election Of last week the Re.
publican politicians of New York have
been extremely busy explaining why
their gubernatorial candidate Stimson
was defeated. Col. Roosevelt was
blamed most genarally for the Re-
publican Waterloo. but many politi.
clans, although admitting that Col
Roosevelt had something to do with
the result Of the election. expressed
the opinion that score Of other
causes had contributed to the defeat
But one wise man came to the conclu
sion that the politicians were ali
wrong and that Mr.. Stimson was de-
feated because there are thirteen let
tiers In his name and because there
were thirteen offices on the ballots
