Our Salty Atlantic.

Some old ~disparitIes have been found
to exist in the sadness of the sea
water in different oceans and ATTITUDES.
For a number of these A., Woeikow, in
Lis recently. published book, Ueber den
SalZgehalt des Meeres, presents ingen-
iOus explanations. The Atlantic ocean
is known to be about ~one-siXtieth more
salty than the Pacific and two-six-
tieths more so than the Indian ocean.
This is in spite of the fact that it
receives considerably more fresh water
drainage in proportion to it's extent,
an apparent anomaly.
But. points out the scientist. the At
lantic itself supplies, by evaporation,
most of the rain that ultimately drains
lack ir,to it,. The prevailing west
winds on the other hand carry much
of its moisture to Indian or ever Pa
cifc ocean watersheds. AS no fresh
water comes down to replace this lost
evaporation. the residue of the At
lantic becomes saltier. Inflow around
the Horn and Cape of Good Hope alone
prevents this process from going
further than it does.

PROVE CRIME
OR Be FREED
WOMAN WHO CLAIMS SHE PoIS'
ONED TWO MAY GO UN.
PUNISHED.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 6.-Mrs,
Pansy Hastings Lesh, who confessed
to the murder by poisoning Of two
women in Pettus county, Missouri,
more han a half dozen years ago,
may never be punished by law, &C
cording to local authorities who have
investigated the case.
The reports Of the district attor-
ney's office said it would be impossi-
bic to convict her without corrObora-
tive evidence. -
Unless an officer arrives with
requisition papers within a few days,
it was intimated by the police that
she would be given her freedom.
Walking into a police station here
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Lesh, aged
"a. surrendered herself to Capt. Flam-
mer of the detective bureau and con-
fessed to killing two women in Mis-
souri, several years g by giving
them rough on rats.
The women Mrs. Lesh said she poi
soned were Mrs. Elizabeth G. Quaint
ance of Green Ridge, Mo-, in 1904, and
Mrs. Coe at Sedalia, No. in 1905. She
gave as a reason for the first murder
that Mrs. Quaintance's husband had
ruined her. She said she gave her
rough on rats in two capsules while
she was sick.
After the first muruer, Mrs. Lesh, &C
cording to the story she told the de-
t~ective, went to the home of Mrs,
Coe in Sedalia. When Mrs. COe was
i'll she was given rough on rats in
a glass of beer.
Mrs. Lesh came to Los Angeles early
in October from East st. Louis.

The Popular Magazine: Arthur Blan-

travelling Over the country for the gov

bridegroom in a Pullman car one after
noon when the train went through d

light of day the bride was grabbing
desperately at her hat and fighting
three fast rounds with one or two hair
pins which had become loosened.
In order to relieve the situation and

THE EVIL.

This is a ~God-fearinG nation. We

Yet we are notably a prOfanc country
in our speech.
In some sections Of the country 1t is
to hear a single sentence OF
the ordinary converse of men which is
not interlarded with oaths. In every
part of the land swearing is altogether
too common. 1t is a national trait.
In Washington there was a process
by the Holy Name society, in protest
against the habit, and it would be well
if organized effort to abatG the evil

CAR SHORTAGE is
MENACE TO NATION

WASHINGTON Nov. 5.-Shortage of
freight cars, the menace of a coal ia
mine, and the industrial paralysis in
some parts of the country have be-
come so serious that the interstate
commerce commission has proposed
to shippers and railroads drastic
recommendations for it's relief, with
a thinly yelled intimation that should
they fail to remedy the situation, the
commission itself would find a way
to do so.
The car shortage is said to have
been found to be due in part to de-
lay in unloading cars, the slow move
ment of cars and the failure of rail
roads to return cars to the lines own
ing them.
In the latter case it is said rail-
roads hold cars, paying a nominal
charge for their use. This the com
denounces as nothing less
than theft" The investigation of
slow movement of freights developed
that freight car averaged about 20
miles day and that while one was
moving 10 were standing still.
The commission makes the follow
ing suggestion for the improvement

the window of the Maxwell apartment,
five stories above the street, where the
nurse girl was holding the baby out of
the window ready to drop it as last
resort. He was followed by Gail Will
son, a young attorney, and together
they tied the child to a rope let down
from the roof above by others and it
was hoisted to safety.
The fire started on the first floor of
the building in a shute provided for
waste paper and refuse, presumably
from defective wires or a stray spark.
The flames did no great damage until
the top floor was reached, where they
spread and Quilted the hall and few
of the apartments. The fire was con-
fined to this floor.

On the allegation that immediate
and irreparable damage is about to
be inflicted, the new rule requires
that it must be shown by specific
facts set forth in affidavits or other
wise that such damages will result.
When a temporary restraining or
der is issued hearing on the injunc-
ton must be given within ten days.
Heretofore no time limit was fixed by
the rules and often not by the courts.
The court went still further and pro-
vided that those restrained may come
into court within two days and be
heard with expedition on a motion to
dissolve the restraining order.
