While Attorney general Carmody
seemed loath to discuss the case, it
was pointed out at his office that under
his recent opinion on the status of the
gubernational tangle, Gov. Sulzer is
disqualified from exercising the pardon
function pending the result of the i'm
peachment trial.

Carmody would say.
District Attorney Whitman of New
York has notified the Attorney -gener-
ais office that he will oppose the grant
ing of the writ sued out in behalf OF
Robin. AS Robin is confined in a coun-
ty penal institution, the peoples case
will be conducted by the New York
district attorney.
In statement explaining his reason
for pardoning Robin, Gov. Sulzer points
out that as Robin never was tried, the
justice who sentenced acted without
hearing evidence. 1t is also claimed
for Robin, he says, that in pleading
guilty he did so with an understanding
that no sentence would be imposed. HI

DEAD HORSE OF MUCH VALUE

First. the hair or the name and tall

a pound, is cut OF and used in brushes,
switches, whips, and so on. The skin
is then removed and sold to tanners.
The shoes are sold to the "ole-rags.ole'

and beaten in order to make the hoois

best pieces Of the flesh and give the
poorer pieces to dogs. cats. hogs and
poultry, or use them for manufactur-
ing prussian blue. The bones are sold
to lawmakers CT cutters. or are made
into ivory.black. Sometimes they
serve as fuel fer melting the fat. The
sinews and teEdons are sold 20 glue

How much does a mouse sec? TO
look at a mouse, one would think that
sight counted for q great deal in its
life. but experiments go to show that
this is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing differ

to blue and green), and they are quick
TO detect movements. but they have
little sense Of form and little b!nocular

lions suggest that the animal avoids
the light. Laboratory experiments. on
the other hand, suggest that 1t prefers
the light. Prof. Emile Yung Of Geneva
has reinvostigated the question and
finds that both these conclusions are
wrong. He made over 1000 observa-

For Abandoned Children.

Hungary maintains II institutions
of INDECENT. abandoned, delinquent and
abused children. It is the custom to
receive every child applicant. to give
him a bath and clean clothes and then
to investigate his condition. If the
investigation warrants the states in
reference the child is admitted. Sew.
entcen thousand children were thus
received in 1908. Most Of these are
placed out in the country or smaller
cities with farmers or artisans OF
good character and in moderate cir
cumstances. Five reformatories have
been established for delinquent or
absolutely unruly children. They
have room for a thousand inmates,
who live together in family groups Of
25, learning a trade under the super
vision OF the head of the household.
Corporal punishment is still admins
tered. Up to 1908 1881 inmates had
been released on parole, S6.6 per
