Horse ~Pedometers.

The whorls of hair on the coats of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers. inasmuch as they regis
ter the locomotive activities of the
animals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse. A notable instance Is the
graceful ~feathering that extends along
the hollow of the flank, dividing the
trunk of the animal from the hind
quarters. There are also crests and
whorls on the horses chest and other
parts of its body.
A study of the action of the under.
lying muscles explains the origin of
these pecnliarities in the lay of the
hair and furnishes the Justification for
calling them ~pedometers, although the
analogy is. of course. merely super
fcal.

Perley Morse, president Of the New

NO HA.DcuFFs IN FRANCE
Some Ingenious Methods by Which
the Police There Keep Prisoners
From Escaping.

Scarcely a day passes without 4
picture appearing in the French press
of a prisoner being led of to the sta.
ton by a policeman and the descrip.
ton. The Apache being taken away
handcuffed by the agents" Asa mat
ter of fact handouts are altogether
out of date in France and are never
used.
Instead of the bracelets every DO.
l1ceman carries a "cabriolet," which
Is a very rough and massively made
article resembling a huge watch
chain some ten inches long with a
stout wooden crossbar at either end.
An expert can slip this we the
wrist Of an offender in a twinkling
and with both the crossbars in his
hand has only to give 1t a twist to
intilct the most e%xcruciating pain
and compel instant and lamblike sub.
mission.
Another common method of pre-
venting escape is to make the pris.
o;ner place both his hands in his side
trouser pockets and then pass a
string round his wrists and round his
waist and bid him march. He can
walk at a very smart pace, but any
attempt to run out of a shambling
trot Immediately brings him down.
nose to the pavement.
If no string is handy all the brace
buttons of the trousers are cut off
and the culprit is made again to put
his hands in his pockets. AS in the
former case, he can only walk, since
so soon as he frees his hands his
neither garments fall about his legs
and he is "entrave" in the latest
fashion.
Few of these devices are apparent
10 the casual passerby, who often
wonders at the passive docility with
which some villainous looking indi-
vldual under arrest follows his captor
to the station. Sometimes on a coun-
try road n may meet a couple of
gendarmes on foot or on horseback,
leading a prisoner between them.
This is in obedience to a quaint
regulation whereby prisoners are
never sent by train from place to
place, as there are no funds set apart
for railway fares. Consequently four
or five times as much is spent in
food, drink and lodging for the escort
as would be for the ticket; but the
regulations are observed. In such
cases the police often use the
~"poucettes," though strictly speaking
this instrument is not legal.
1t is a sort of loose thumbscrew
which Is fixed SO as to keep the two
thumbs comfortably together so long
as the man does not struggle, but
a twist of the string held by one of
the police is enough to destroy any
wish to escape.-London Standard.

Rudyard KipIine's Reactionary View
of the Labor Problem.

Rudyard Kipling has written for the
July American Magazine short story
based on the coal strike ia England,
which presents with great force the
reactionary attitude toward the labor
movement. 1t is really warning to
labor and is so denominated by the
editor OF The American Magazine, who
so frankly says that readers who do not
all agree with Mr.. Kipling may deprive
great benefit from the story ip that it
presents the conservatives attitude with
extraordinary clesrness.
10 the story, which is laid 10 He'll, a
labor leader just descended into the
lower regions from England, where be
has lost bis life as result Of the strike,
tells his hearers at great length of the
tremendous fight against capital and
organized society that he and his asso
ciates have recently waged. At the
conclusion of the story the Devil winds
up the discussion with the startling an.
nouncement that England is no longer
to be in need Of coal The idea is that
the labor unions have pressed their fight
to such an extent that inventive genius
has come forward and harnessed the
tide to supply power in place of coal,
thus relieving society Of the need Of
coal miners. The devil ends his pro
nouncement with the statement that
these labor leaders are therefore the
benefactors OF society in that by going
too far in their demands :hey have thus
| destroyed themselves
The story will undoubtedly promote d
great deal of discussion, and naturally it
will find warm critics and defenders.
