WHY More Women Than Men.

The fact that in almost all elvlilzed
countries women outnumber men mas
been ascribed to the higher birthrate
of girl babies; yet statistics SHOW that
105 bows are born to every 100 girls.
According to figures compiled py
European statistician, the girl has a
better chance than the boy OF attaining
maturity
He finds that from the third to the
fifteenth year the mortality for both
sexes is the same from the fifteenth
to the nineteenth year the girls chance
are slightly better than the boys; from
the thirtieth year to the thirty-h1tn
the mortality among women is smailer
than among men, and 1T continues
smaller until the SEVENTEEN year.
Then for a decade and half the
sexes once more have the same chance
of survival, but above eighty-f1ve years
of age woman again stands much
better chance than man.
To account for this difference the
statistician points out that woman mas
greater residence in shaking Off d's-
eases than man. 1t is true that the
physical strength Of man is greater
than woman's. but a womans power
of endurance is more robust.
One reason for this Is that woman

Mystery Surrounds Box Of
Late Cardinal Ramp0IIa.
Testimony Shows Cardinal Was
Fearful Of Losing Contents.
Placed Box Under Pillow Day of His
Death..not Seen Since.

Rome, Dec. 26.-All the evidence thus
far adduced concerning the black box
which was taken from the room of
Cardinal Rampolla, the day he died,
tends to show the cardinal was fear
full that 1t would be tampered with.
The box, which IS believed by some
persons to haye contained the last Will
and other papers of Cardinal Ram
polla, was placed under his pillow by
the cardinal, the day he was forced
to take to his bed with the seizure
which shortly afterwards caused his
death.
Soon after the cardinal died and
while the body was being moved from
the bed to be prepared for the coffin
the black box fell to the floor. Some
person picked it up and laid it on the
cardinals writing desk. Since that
time all is mystery concerning the
box. No one can be found who has
seen 1t. Whether it disappeared before,
during or after the stream of people
were admitted to the death chamber
to view the body of Cardinal Rampolla
is not known.
Hope is still entertained that the
person who appropriated the box is
not interested in the suppression OF
the cardinals will but carried the cas-
ket away in the belief that it con-
tanned valuables and will return the
useless papers.
The sealing up of the late Cardinal
Rampola's apartments has given rise
to controversy here, some declaring
the act Illegal, as it was done without
the authorization of judicial officials
but simply by notary on the request
Of Monsignor Di Bisogno. administrat-
or of St Peters, who desired to guar
antee the safety of documents of great
interest to the church.

Lonu Distance Thermometers.

ong-distance thermometers are rap
idly coming into use now for ali man
ner Of purposes where it Is of advant-
age to be able to sit at an office desk,
for instance. press button, and learn
instantly the temperature at some dis
tant point. Most striking of all the
uses to which this mechanism has been
put is in finding out the temperature
in the middle Of the massive Kensico
dam on New York's new water supply
system. The engineers have decided
that it will be very valuable to know
exact temperatures in every Fart Of

one thing. So g-distance thermome-
tiers have been buried in the concrete
at various places, each one connected
by wires to tunnel in the dam. The
thermometers are nothing more than
little coils of certain kinds of wire. A
small current of electricity is sent
through these coils from the operating
station. and by means of instruments
that show the resistance Of the coils to
the passage Of the electricity the ex-
act temperature round the coils is OBJ
tanned. Another place where long-d dis
tance Thermometers are used is on big
fruit orchards in the West, so that
from a central office on cold spring
night 1t can easily be determined
whether or not frost is threatening at
any part of the orchard and protective
measures required. They have been
installed also in cold storage ware
houses, to save the trouble of frequent
inspections in all the storage chambers.
From a desk in the office the exact
temperature of every room can easily
be read.-Saturday Evening Post.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH OUR
 SYSTEM OF PUNISHMENT

The Daily papers report anoth- CT victim to the relics of barbar- ism that still hangs over the great and glorious republic of the United States. George Horton was accused of a robery in Medi- cine Lodge Kas, was convicted on the evidence of dog and ser ved two years in the penit ntary and it was discovered that he was an innocent man.
 Who or what will now compen- sate him for the loss of two years time and labor? If he is a mar ried man. his family has lost the time and labor and the compen- sation of the husband and father for two years. How have they lived? We do not know, and no- body cares, for there has been system by which a contractor, or the state has had that labor and has received the benefit at the cost to the family and that is
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-06-20

all they want. They will no doubt say too bad," and that will end the whole matter.
 It seems to us that this coun- try with its educational advant- ages and it's standing in the world could and would devise some measure whereby we we would show to the world that we have made some advancement in the method of punishing criminals during the lastone hundred years.
 A man goes into your house and steals your money. Say $1, ,0O0. He is traced captured and found guilty and he gets a sentence to the penitentiary and is made to serve his sentence. Now there are a variety of me- thods by which the man is farm ed out, or he is worked by the state. but where do you who have lost the money come in? If the criminals are let out on contract is it not a fact that the contract or is the beneficiary of the crime? He is the man who gets the be- nefit of the labor, and the state is no better off, the looser is no better off, the family who de- bends on the criminal for sub stance has been cut off, and of ten the county in which they live is obliged to contribute to their support, and all this for the pur- pose of giving to some heartless contractor the benefit of the la- Dor of the criminal. The atroci- ties that have been uncovered as result of this vile system is en- ough to make a patriotic citizen want to go aud hide his head in shame. Boil the whole matter down to a common sense basis and we are obliged to admit that we are in a measure, barbarians.
 The state can use every man in the penitentiary for the purpose of making good roads, and do not think that there is a man in all Arkansas who will say we do not need them, and let system be inaugurated whereby the road tax shall go to pay the state for that labor. and let the family of the criminal be given a percent of the earned compensation of
The Nevada County picayune., 1913-06-20

the criminal and let a percent go to the man or company who met with the loss. and Ie: the sen
 tence be that restitution must
 thus be made to the looser, to the county for the cost of the trial. pay the state for the keep and expense, and the percentage that will make a criminal think twice before he commits crime. Let It be understood that there can be no parole or pardon until the re- stitution is made for all expenses
