Pacific exposition, is. SO far as is
Known, the oldest ship still in COM
mission. and is one Of the last relics
of the old-time convict system in
which torture played a leading part.
This ship was built at Moulmain, Brit
ish India, in 1870. is Of the old East
ment of seven brass guns. The vessel
carries the same equipment as 1t did
when 1t was used as a .convict ship, in
Guiding implement Of torture, while
wax figure appear in all the cell, rep
~resenting the prisoner who occupied
them many years ago.
AS a relic Of bygone ideals and
methods the ship Is exceedingly inter-
esting. Prior to 1920 there were 145
offenses for which the penalty was
death, under the British laws. Now
there are only two. murder and trea-
son. Convict ships were used not only
for transporting prisoners. but were
used as prisons as we'll, and it often
happened that a convict spent the re-
mainder Of his days on one ship.
Down in the hold Of the Success
Is the torture chamber containing the
"bilboes." OF necklets, where prison.
ers were lacked up against a beam by
rings passing around the neck and the
ankles. The constrained and painful
position caused by the ''bflgoes" COM
bined with the darkness Of the hold
and the rolling and pitching Of the
sailing vessel, usually served to break
the spirit Of the o refractory pri-
soner. The iron maiden" was used
to extort confessions. It 10 lined with
spikes. The prisoner was placed I'M
side. the door was closed and fas-
tened, and the prisoner remained in
the iron maiden until he confessed
his guilt or died Of exhaustion, or Of
Wounds inflicted by the spikes.

TRIAL DIVORCE"
1t Is a Rather Good Scheme and
Should Produce Good Results.

Should Produce Good Results.
New York Times.)
Trial divorce" if not precisely a
new thing. is a new phrase. and the
the plan put in practice marks the
advance that always lies in following
any given course thoughtfully and
with understanding.
1t seems that two residents of Mis-
souri,. young. rich and of social stand
ing. in spite Of conditions apparently
so conducive to marital peace. have
found life together at least temperate
ly impossible. Neither makes any
as the wife puts it, W just couldn't
get along" The too common result
Of such a situation in these days Is
for n Of the inharmonious pair. US
ually the wife. to go to a state where
divorce is easy, acquire a legal resi-
dence by living there for a few months
and then have the chafing bonds sew
cred. In this case, too, the wife has
gone to Colorado, but not with the
fixed determination to get a divorce.
Instead. she is acting under an agree
months they are to try what the stop
ping OF all relations and communica-
tions-except a monthly check from
him to her-will do for their tempers
and in%clinations. If. after this period
for reflection. the joys Of parting have
palled or both. they are to meet at an
appointed place and take up life to-
gether again. If either ices not keep
the curious tryst, the other will pro-
coed to make the separation legal
and permanent.
This seems to be a rather good
scheme. At any rate, it is much bet
ter than rash action taken in the heat
Of anger or irritation, and in many
cases, doubtless. such a preliminary
trial of divorce would lead to the de-
cision that the troubles looming so
large We're either small or remediable
and the lesson learned would be
needed, to the ediication and salts
faction of all concerned. Even those
who view divorce. not as the breaking
of marriage, but as formal recognition
Of the fact that marriage in the true
sense OF the term no longer exists,
can view the plan with approval as a
protection against hasty action, while
it will also commend itself to those
and a scandal.
Trial divorce" as a custom would
have no such antagonism to encounter
as would the trial marriage" which
a few are bold enough in these au-
dacious days to propose, and there is,
perhaps, a valuable suggestion for u
lawmakers in the urs followed by
these Missourians, with their charac-
t~eristic desire to see before they de-
eide.
