PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME.

In his address on Public Education
as a Preventive of Crime" delivered
at the recent conference of the SUI
perintendents of the states charitable,
eleemosynary and penal institutions,
Professor D.. G. Rogers, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, expressed the opinion
that one of the reforms needed in the
penal institutions was the redoubling
of the severity with which graver Of
lenses are punished. especially in deal
ing with those who have made crime
profession. There will probably be
considerable criticism of this senti-
ment. 1t is not in line with the new
and modern ideas, at least, on this
important subject-ideas, which have
worked out pretty well in many in
stances in practice
But a case came to light not so long
ago which would appear to bear out
the contentious of Professor Rogers.
One of the professional criminals of
this country, who had served several
penal terms here for a variety of
thefts and robberies. betook himself
to European lands. He piled his same
old trade In them and was caught and
punished on several occasions. He
an equal length of time in a Belgium
penitentiary; three years in a prison
in Italy. and in Germany he was sent
up for five years. After serving this
term he came back to the United
States and recounted his experiences
abroad to a New York newspaper
man. He characterized the German
prison and discipline to which he was
subjected in it, as the worst" exper-
fence of his penal career. He spent
most of his time in solitary confine-
ment, with a most meager allowance
of food. He got no time off for good
behavior. In fact, he looked back on
his stay in German prison as a hor-
rtble nightmare. When he had told of
these experiences he declared he had
reformed and would never indulge in
crime again. On being asked the reas-
on, he replied that he would never
take chance of suffering again the
Kind of punishment that was melted
out to him in Germany.
This would seem to be a pretty
strong argument as to the efficacy of
severe punishment in dealing with
crime. But the major portion of the
expert sociologists and criminoIogists
of today are of the opinion that the
more severe the punishment imposed
on a criminal the more it hardens
him TO a life of criroe

Women in Japan.

The Japanese ambassador, respond
ing as the chief guest to the toast or
Japan" at the Lyceum club dinner
the other night, said that the people
of Japan placed very great Importance
upon the alliance with Great Britain,
and it was their hope that the alliance
might long continue to increase IN It's
usefulness and benevolent influence.
| The Japanese had the shortcomings,
| weaknesses, and defects common to all
mankind, but this much could be said
| for them-they were always ready and
eager to learn from others what was
good for them and for the rest of the
world.
| In this respect the women of Japan
were equally eager. Fundamentally
the moral code of woman was doc
trine of obedience to three persons in
the course of life-to their parents
| then to their husbands, and finally to
their children. That code mad come to
be regarded as quite insufficient for
| the modern relations between men ana
women. They were beginning to think
| they were as important, ii not more
| important, a unit of society as men,
| and at the present rate OF progress the
| day must soon come when the rules
and customs which had always regu-
| lated the relations of the two sexes
| had to be entirely recast on the prfn-
| ciple of more power to the women.

ject at that moment engaging the
whole of the attention of the legisla-
ture. He had an open mind on the
matter; SO far he had not been able to
arrive at an intelligent decision on the
subject; and with all respect to Eng
fish members of parliament he was
afraid many of them were in a similar
position. At any rate he did not envy
those who had to record their votes
on the subject. The women of Japan
had not reached that stage when they
demanded political rights, and he
could not help thinking that the day
was long distant when they would.
But in other respects they were coming
forward, and their position was rapid
ly becoming more important. In this
as in other matters the progress of
Japan was due to the influence of
western countries, especially the good
model and example of Great Britain.

PURIFYING WATER.

One of the important matters of
public concern which is being given
some of the attention nowadays that
it deserves relates to the improvement
of the water supplies of the cities of
the United States. To make them
pure, above all other things, is the i'm
portant goal the experts are striving
for. This was one of the important
topics for discussion at the annual
convention of the American Public
Health association which was held last
week at Milwaukee. A number of in
teresting and instructive papers on
the subject were read, but. for the
most part, as is usually the case, they
concerned the excellent theory OF the
matter under discussion. Many Euro
pean cities have devoted their ener-
gies to obtaining a pure water supply
with success. And one of the sue
cessful methods is described in re-
port recently made by Mr.. William
Dulany Hunter, United States consul
at Nice, France. In part, this report
follows:
LAS the water used here for drink
ing and other purposes was considered
to be unwholesome, a new method of
sterilization has been adopted. There
is an electric power plant worked by
water turbines, the force being the
water which is afterwards steriliZed.
The two dynamos are run separately,
so that there can be no stoppage while
one of them is being cleaned or repair
ed. The force produced is ITO volts,
500 periods per second, which is trans
formed into an alternating current
with a potential power of 1900 volts.
This high-power current is conducted
to so-called ozone battery. Each of
the five batteries composing a system
! consists of three vertical copper plates
2 feet square and 1 II inches thick,
with space of 8 inches between each;
in each of these spaces there is a pair
| of glass sheets, between which the
electric sparks decompose the air.
which is forced through them by a
sucking machine. The decomposed
air consists of ozone and azotic acid.
| The azotic acid iS retained and the
pure ozone made available by passing
the decomposed air through q vertical
vitrified pipe containing charcoal dust
| and pieces of cement. The water, I'M
der the pressure of a fall of IL feet,
flows through a system of earthen
tubes about 1 inch in diameter and

"It is we'll to remember that wrong

the joy of music, the light of beauty.
The big round moon would flood empty
