MINNESOTA'S NEW JURY LAW
Springfield Republican,

Minnesota is to try the experiment
under a new law of abolishing the
time-honored rule of requiring a un-
animous jury verdict. Hereafter in
civil cases in that state after twelve
hours elaboration a verdict may be
brought in by fve-sixths of the jurors.
In twelve-man jury this would re-
ouire ten to be in agreement. The
motive behind the change is to make
jury fixing more difficult. The theory
is that in a majority of cases where
juries are hung" by one or two men,
bers, improper influences have been
at work and that where there is room
for an honest difference of opinion the
jury is apt to be more equally divided.
The Minnesota law, while PROVIDING
fer majority verdict, seeks to guard
against hasty conclusions. Before FIVE
sixths of the jury may return legal
verdict they must have deliberated for
at least twelve hours. To those who
would cling to the ancient practice Of
unanimous jury verdict the argu-
ment is made that there is no more
reason to demand unanimous action
from a jury passing upon the facts
than there is to insist upon unanimity'
in the Court in passing upon the la.
The opinion of bare majority of the
Court sufices to establish the law,
the land, and some of the most i'm
portant of our Federal and state =
cisions have been so reached. If the
comparison were to be further
pressed it is evident that the verdi Il
of a jury only affects one particular
case, while the decision of court -
tablishes a rule of law that may in
volve far-reaching consequences.

BARRIERS OF THE WORLD
Queer Methods Adopted i'm Various
Countries Told by an Exchange

Accustomed to the deft dexterity of
the up-to-date barber, the Briton who,
in the course of tour of the world,
placed himself unreservedly in the
hands of the tonsorial artists in the
various countries visited would haze
some surprising experiences to relate
on his return home
Nearly all the BARRIERS in Tripoli are
Italians, and the shops are as well
equipped as those of the Italian cities.
The native Arab BARRIERS require only a
pair of scissors, a pair of clippers, and
a razor for their equipment. They erect
their temporary shops in the market
places by spreading some mating ovel'
a few poles. Arabs have their heads
shaved, keeping the hair short so that
the white skull cap over which the fez
is worn will fit closely.
There are many BARRIERS in Musca+,
Oman, but no barber shops. Wealthy
persons are attended in their own
homes, while the poorer classes are
shaved in the bazaars. Both customer
and barber sit on mat facing eacl
other. 1t is customary to shave the en-
tire head.
In Alden the BARRIERS are Hinrus who
generally call at the homes of their
customers. The European residents
have these BARRIERS call every mornir.g
lat about o'clock, and pay about )
shillings a month for the services,
which includes one hair cut.
In Bombay, India, the workmen,
coolies, and lower class of servants
have their barbering done on the sire It
Native BARRIERS call at the houses to at
tend the wealthy classes. In Karachi
all the barber work of the city is done
by peripatetic workmen.
The Hardup barber places around his
customers neck a peculiar pan with a
semicircle piece cut out of one side, so
that it fits practically around the NECK
under the chin. Water is put into the
pan and the barber makes a lathcr
with his hands and rubs it on the GUS
toners face, usually using his hands
for this purpose also.
In Bagdad the well-to-do members
of the community have the BARRIERS
come to their homes. In Syria there
are barber shops of the European type
which cater to the better-class trade,
while the cheaper BARRIERS ply Their
vocation in the streets.-Exchang

SHIP MAY DIVE, FLY, AND SAIL
New Type of War Vessels Will Come

(From Answers

The destroyer is domed shortly to
disappear, or, if you like, she will in
future be invested with the power to
dive. The types, at any rate, will be
amalgamated. 1t is a matter of per-
fecting the internal-combustion en-
CINE for marine purposes. Afterward
the submarine may attain the power CT
flying as we'll, and we shall have a
ship possessing all the qualities Of
the wild duck, except that of sitting on
eggs and reproducing herself. This
forecast is made by Gerald Flennos,
who writes of the work of the subml
rine in the Pail Mall Magazine.
1T is the darkest hour, the hour be-
fore the dawn. The hostile fleet lies in
it's harbor, behind the boom and under
the shelter of the forts. 1t has suffered
damage in an encounter with a super
ior force, but is still in being The
beams of the searchlight wheel and
cross and seesaw up and down; the
guarding destroyers prowl thither in
hn no no.. n
a rush from seward of black hulls and
flaming tunnels. No concealment is
attempted; it would be useless. The
attackers creep, unperceived, near
enough. to make their rush. In an in
slant the scene is ablaze with quick
firing guns, hurting shell on friend and
foe alike. The assailants hold on. One
boat after another sinks, but ever
fresh squadrons rush in to the attack.
A dozen, twenty, thirty boats will be
we'll lost if the attempt succeed.
The boom which protects the harbo'
mouth is made of huge baulks of TIM
Der, wound and bound with stout steel
hawsers. From its lower edge hang
torpedo nets. 1t would be vain to
charge it as the Polyphemus years ago
charged the moob at Portsmouth for
an experiment, and got over 1t must
be blown up. A rending crash, fol-
lowed by another, proclaims the fail
ure of the trusted defense. The boo il
is in splinters; the destroyers which
wrecked it actually make their way
to safety amid the smoke and confus-
ion caused by the explosions. Now the
fast-breaking dawn discloses num-
Der of slim poles cutting the surface OF
the water. Again the crash of the fire

of the gunners will not stand inaction.
The defending destroyers charge the
submarines, trying to knock away their
periscopes and to explode mines close
to their bulls. Here and there they
succeed. A whale-like snout is thrown
out of the water and sinks again fo~-
ever There is a whir of wings over
head. The aeFoplanes are up. Soon
fountains of water are spouting from
where their dropped bombs explod'.
