One Of the chief features Of the reor-
ganization Of the New York police depart
ment, which is now under way, will be
aimed to enable citizens to find a police
man when he needed. 1t has often
happened that those in need of help have
gone many blocks-in a vain search for
police assistance. The plan for remedying
this involves the establishment of what
will be known as fixed posts In many
parts of the city.
In a general way the plan is to have a
policeman on duty constantly at the inter-
sections Of certain streets which are OF
importance from a police viewpoint. The
men on duty will always be within hailing
distance Of anyone at the corner, although
they will patrol each Of the four blocks
for one-half their length.
The three platoon system, which has
been approved by Mayor Gaynor. will give
the city more police on duty after o'clock
in the evening than there has been for
many years. The three platoon plan will
give the uniformed force eight hours Of
patrol duty, eight hours of reserve duty
and eight hours off.

In the decision given last week by Judge
Hand of the federal courts, involving
highly technical scientific matters, the
court stepped aside from the questions at
issue to berate 1.-The provincial legal habit
of mind of American Jurisprudence.
Il cannot stop" said Judge Hand. with
out calling attention to the extraordinary
condition Of the law which makes IL pos
sible for man without even the rudiments
of chemistry to pass on questions like
these. The exhorbitant expense of time is
the least of the resultant evils.

cal judges who can intellgently pass upon

A dead pig prevented disaster in the
reptile-house at the Bronx geological gar
dens last Thursday, when Kaa, the twenty
foot regal python, escaped into the runway
back of his cage
Head Keeper Charles Snyder and four
men were moving Kaa with a sack over his
mead into new cage. The hndmost keeper
showed Kaas tail into his new abode. and
the others pushed each armful Of snake
in after. Kaa was all in but his head. This
was the critical moment, for when the
sack was removed the snake dashed out
at those who had been holding him.
As Snyder snatched the bag away the
man holding the head made a desperate
effort to push 1t into the cage, but failed
Instantly the snake flung itself forward
into the three foot passage.
The keepers tried torun, but were
damned tightly together. There was every
chance of the snakes getting a twist on
one of the keepers and crushing out his
life.
Snyder saw one chance Ten feet away
lay a box containing the body of a pig
provided for the pythons next meal Sny-
der snatched up the pig and threw Il be-
fore the lashing head OF the snake
Kaa reached for the carcass and wound
his twenty feet about 1t, in a compact coil
Snyder and his men leaped forward,
hurled a blanket over the coiled reptile
seized It,, with a mighty heave flung IL
into the cage and slammed the door.

The new gun-toting law, Of New York
Just passed by the legislature and signed
by Governor Dix, Is as stringent as any
similar law in the statute books OF this
country. The carrying OF deadly weapon,
concealed or unconcealed without a writ
ten license from the proper authorities. is
made misdemeanor punishable by fine
or imprisonment, or both, in the discretion
of the trial court. The law puts the black
jack, sandbag and similar weapons in the
deadly weapon class with the revolver,
and possession at home or office, as well
as on the person, without license, brings
the owner under the provisions OF the law.
Licenses are obtainable from the authori-
ties of the city, town or village, where the
applicant resides. In the matter of the
sale OF weapons the law provides that any
retail dealer, pawnbroker, or other person
before selling any firearms of a size that
may be concealed on the person, must enter
the time and date of sale and the name
age and occupation of the buyer. with the
make and manufacturers number Of such
weapon in a special register which is to be
subject to inspection by peace officers. He
must also demand the production by the
purchaser of his permit TO have such a
weapon, and the date and number OF his
permit must also be set down in the regis
ter. The law. Of course, does not apply TO
wholesale dealers.
