CRUEL %PUMISHMENTS.
Tho Use Of Torture In Legal Processes
In Former Times.

The constitution of the United States
and the constitutions Of the various
states in prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an abb
(surdity. The use Of torture In legal
processes was not. when these instru-
ments we're framed, so remote as 1t Is
now. 80 ".
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed a con
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had a bodkln thrust
through his tongue and was chained to
a tree until he died. Others were
broken on the wheel. It IS quantity
stated that Sir Thomas vas "a mar OF
good conscience and knowledge In d.
vinity." Dole's date was 1911.
The next notable instance Of the use
Of torture was in 1892, in the Salem
witchcraft excitement. when Giles
Cory was pressed to death-the "peine
dure ct forte," the most horrible Of
deaths.
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch. the pirate, and
six others We're hanged in Boston, Sew
all wrote in his diary, "When the scat
fold was let to sink there was such a
screech Of the women that my wife
heard it, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard" though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavor-
able.
The use Of torture to wiring the truth
from witnesses Is said to have been
recognized as legal In Austria until
we'll within the last century.

An Underground Canal.


Between Worsley and st. Helens, IN
the north Of England, is the most re-
markabie canal in the world. 1t Is un-
foreground. from end to end, and is
sixteen miles long. In Lancashire the
coal mines are very extensive, half the
country being undermined. and many
years ago the Duke Of Bridgewatcr's
managers thought they could save
money by transporting the coal under
ground instead of on the surface. The
canal was constructed and the mines
connected and drained at the Same
time. Ordinary canal boats arc used.
but the power Is furnished by men.
On the roof Of the tunnel arch are cross
pieces, and the men do the work OF
propulsion by lying on their backs on
the coal and pushing with their feet
against the crossbars on the roof.-Ar-
gonaut.

solid center like a twig has. In pulling
up any plant by the roots, one never
sees these root hairs.
1t one has never seen the root sys-
TEN OF u tree exposed by water or by
the wind. one perhaps has no idea how
extensive it is. The part OF tree be-
low the ground is often more extensive
than that above the ground.
| The shoot. or the part one usually
sees above the ground. has two very
distinct regions. The one consists Of
the stem or trunk and It's subdivisions
called branches, and the foliage leaves.
The stem with its branches is straight
er and more symmetrical than the
roots because it grows in a medium
with no uneven spots in it.
| When a stem has finished its growth
! for season. the new growth will be
seen to be made up OF sections called
joints or nodes. and internodes. This
is not true of the roots.
| If one will take the trouble to look
at branch of Norway Maple or
| Beech or any tree when the leaves are
| On, one will find that the leaves are
ON that portion of the branch that has
grown the present year. and when the
leaves are shed in the Fall. that re-
gion of the branch will never have lea
YES on it again. but next year leaves
will be OH the portion Of the branches
that will grow next year. In other
words. next years branches that are
to bear next years leaves are not vet
developed. So that one going along
the street in winter can see only bran
ches that have borne leaves, but viii
never bear leaves again.
! II one gets up on the top Of a high
, building and looks down on the tops
of the trees. they look like great balls
of foliage: but ii one takes a ladder
and climbs up into the tree. one will
see that the leaves are away out on
the ends of the branches like a green
roofover an airy chamber. os as Prof.
Dennis says. I'm the one case. the
tree is seen as the bird sees It; and In
the other, as the sqirrel sees it."
The natural development Of the lea.
yes on the last growth of the branch
only. is one of the most important
things to remember when trees are to
be pruned.
