LONDON. February TO- 1911.
For several reasons a libel action now
being tried before the assizes at Aiken
Provence is engaging widespread atten-
don. The personality Of the man accused

u. Andre Lefevre was until recently un-
eersecretary at the department Of the
Interior. He Is generally known as q
belf-msde man Of considerable ability. At
one time he was a socialist Journalist,
and as q socialist soon took a prominent
place In the Paris municipal council He

Andre Lefevre. II is thought that the case
against the present system has been fully
made out
The evidence showed that there was a
constant feud in the asylum between NJ
Rtoetti. the director, and the bursar. This
resulted In all kinds OF doubtful dealings
with tradespeopie. The inmates Of the
esylum were without sheets, and were
lnsuflcientIy provided with other cloth

out, but the greater part was put in the
reserve. to be stored IN the cellar. Goods
were charged for at an exorbitant rate,
and one bill had to be reduced by $500.
Another one. for a supply Of wool. origi-
nally quoted at 50 cents a pound, was
reduced TO half the amount. The evil
6ence also provided several amusing
stories.
Pigs Sold Or Cheap.
In one case pigs belonging TO the asy-

they were diseased. Naturally the price
was a low one, but, strangely enough.
the purchaser was the butcher Of the

Sam readily admitted that as he was not
placed in competition with any other
tradespeople he raised his prices. The
chief gardener Of the asylum told how
he used to sell lettuce to neighbors.
II was shown that frequently inferior

Two items in the days news wildly
show the Importance which the applica-
lions Of modern mechanical science now
play in modern warfare.
In anticipation Of revolutionary disor-
ders in Santo Domingo. the chief OF naval
operations at Washington determined to
detach two cruisers from the Atlantic
fleet, now maneuvering somewhere OF
the Virginia coast, and send them to the
scene of disturbance. No one at the Navy
Department knew the precise location Of
the fleet. but wireless found and COM
municated with 1t In just eleven minutes.
In Tripoli the Italians loosed a flock of
biplanes against the Turks. Bombs
were dropped and the Turkish camp was
destroyed. This was the first test of
what the aeroplane can do under real
war conditions. The Americans used an
Italian invention. The Italians used an
American invention. Only those nations
which can produce inventive geniuses OF
the first order and which are alert to
adopt the instruments created by the best
minds of other lands can hope to hold
their own in the international rivalries Of
today.

The Mumbled Oath in Court.

From the Chicago News.
IAN oath in this court is a perfec+
farce" Magistrate House of New York
city said the other day while presiding in
the Essex Market court. He further as
serted that he was beginning to think If
he could find truthful litigant or wit
ness in that tribunal there would be six
Sundays in the week.
That the courts are befouled with per-
jury is matter of common knowledge.
In studying the relationship of cause and
effect to determine why false swearing
has become so common in the courts, one
can hardly fail to note the manner in
which the oath is usually administered.
AS rule, no attempt is put forth to
make the oath impressive. The clerk of
a court calls upon witnesses to rise and
lift their right hands. Then he mumbies
succession of |unintelligible words and
phrases Tine witnesses by nut cred WORD
or waggled head may be supposed to have
made an affirmative vow. They have been
sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
Ibis sort of thing is not calculated to
inspire respect for the truth on which
courts depend for the administration of
justice. 1t impresses with the value of
the truth neither the witnesses VINO take
such an oath nor those who look on, but
1t rather lowers their view of 1t.
Improvement would be wrought by the
administering of the oath with a reason
able degree Of solemnity, not as a sort of
amusing byplay or a part Of the days
roGt ne bus ness 20 be tran acted with
slipshod indifference. Further. the oath
should be administered to witnesses in
dividually just before they give their tes-
timony. If they take 1t in fiocks, hours
or even days before they are called to
testify, there is no certainty that they
will even consider themselves under oath

HOW TYPH00Ns MOVE.
Forecasting Their Appearance in the
Philippines.
From the Manila Times.

MdHlld IlucS.
Contrary to the general impression, a
typhoon, that is. what is known to the
scientist as well formed" one, does not
consist of merely terrific gale of wind
with calm spot in the immediate center
On the contrary. next to the center
which may have a diameter anywhere
from two miles to fifty where the calm
belt reigns, there is a sort of ring gen.
orally less than q mile in diameter in
which light winds prevail. After this is
passed comes the real main body of the
destroyer. which may have a total diam
eter of anywhere from 200 to 1000 miles
or even more.
The force of the typhoon depends on
the depth of the depression of the cur
rents Of air. or to put it in scientific terms
the barometer gradient" roughly
formed typhoon may be a great deal
smaller and shorter in duration than one
of regular formation. according to some
very interesting data secured from Father
Algue, director of the Manila observa-
tory. All typhoOns come from the east,
SO that while the China coast ports are
benefited by the knowledge derived from
the Philippine station in being forewarned
the reverse cannot occur.
Typhoons are located by two methods,
the barometer and the clouds. Thus, for
example, when Guam reports the fall OF
the barometer to certain point and
send in their reports it is obviously mere
ly a matter of a certain amount of calcu-
lation to determine where the lowest
pressure is, and hence the location Of the
typhOon.
Reports on the clouds from the var. Gus
stations, together with the direction O.
the wind, give the direction taken by the
typhoon. ALI this is materially aided by
nometer. which indicates by massi e
needles like those of compass the airec-
ton of the typhoon.
In this manner. with the help Of Guam,
| a typhoon may be located from two to
four days before reaching Manila or any
where else in the islands, but if the
typhoOn has developed between Guam
| and the islands the period will necessari-
ly be shortened to day or two. Fol-
lowing the same rule Hongkong, for ex-
ample. may be apprised as much as tive
days ahead of time of the advent Of the
storm.
Typhoons increase their strength as
they go north and consequently there
power Of one in the southern end Of these
islands as compared with one in the
| north. It Is this feature which makes
the hurricanes Of the West Indies more
| to be dreaded than the Pacific typhoons
of this latitude.
The velocity Of the wind in the typhoons
in this country, together with the velocity
of travel, varies also to q considerable
extent. In the typhoon Of 1905. known
as the Cantaoria cyclone, which lasted
from September % to September %, the
| most severe Of modern times, the velocity
| of the gusts was at one time forty-six
meters a second or 1O3 miles an hour.
And at one period Of that week the NOV
ing velocity of the scourge was twelve
miles an hour. These were unusual fig
| ures. however, and are not ordinarily
equaled.
