sTERILIzlNc CRIMINALS.

One OF the not uninteresting tenden-
cfes in penal legislation is again en-
phasized by the action of New Jerseys
legislature in passing law providing
for the sterilization of crtminals--and
other hopelessly defective human
types. Indiana, Connecticut and CALI
fornia are now enforcing similar law.
Measures embodying the same policy
have been introduced in the iegisla-
lures of many other states
The idea underlying these laws and
proposed laws for the sterilization of
hopeless degenerates Is. of course, not
altogether new. When the policy was
first proposed in this country some
years ago it was severely assailed.
1t had but few advocates outside Of
the medical PROFESSIONALISM most ply
sicians were opposed to II. But public
sentiment seems to have undergone
a radical change with respect to this
policy.
Whether the policy is or is not wise
must be determined by the actual re-
suits to follow its enforcement.

CATCHERS OF OLD DAYS
GOOD AS THOSE OF PRESENT

Il is in the base-stealing depart
ment that the biggest difference be-
tween the old-time ball players and
the present generation is found. A
comparison between the figures Of 20
years ago and now shows remark
able falling of.
In 1886 In the National league three
men stole more than 90 bases. Harry
Stovey led the American association
with SO steals In 1887 Stovey broke
all records by stealing 143 bases. Arlie
Latham was a close second, with LAP.
In the National league Johnny Ward
led with 40 steals, the late Jimmy
Fogarty being second. with 1902 In 1888
Stovey made a record that will hardly
be touched. He stole 156 bases Five
other American association players
stole more than 10 bases. Dummy Hoy
led the National league with 50 steals
Billy Hamilton came to the front as
the American associations best base
runner in 1889 He put III steals to his
credit, leading Stovey by two Fogarty
did the best work in the National
league, stealing 80 bases. Twenty-nine
men in the two leagues went over the
80 mark.
Since the advent of Ty Cobb and Ed
die Collins base running has had a re-
vlval. but the two American league
stars are the only players who show
anything like the base-stealing abili-
ties of the old-timers. In 1909 Cobb
led with 76 steals; Collins was second
with 81. Last year Collins attained
his ambition and beat out Cobb. steal
ing 81 bases to 65 for the Tiger.
Billy Hamilton, one of the best base
runners of all time, who in three diff
ferent years led the country i'm stolen
bases Is of the opinion that base rum
ming reached its height of perfection
years ago The veteran fails to see
where there can be found any new
tricks in the art of taking second on a
pitch. Il is the defense. the breaking

velopment, according to Hamilton

Man and the Animals.

Domestic animals vary more than
wild ones Every farmer and poultry
grower knows that some hens are bet
ter with chickens than others-more
motherly, more careful-and rear
greater number of their brood. The
same is truesame is true of with
pig Some sows will eat their pigs and
wild animals in cages often destroy
their young. Some ewes will not own
their lambs and occasionally COW Will
not own her calf Similar to these are
the strange friendships that sometimes
occur among the domestic animals, as
that of a sheep with a COW, goose
with horse. or a hen adopting kit
tens. In a state of nature these surf
Gus attachments probably never spring
up Instinct is likely to be more or
less demoralized when animal life
touches human life--John Burroughs.
