FOR SAVING LIFE AT SEA
Danish Inventor Seems to Have Some thing Which Has Merit Be-
 yond All Others.

It is reported that a substitute for life boats, which has been recom- mended to several foreign govern ments, consists of hollow steel globe, fiattened on the bottom and about eight feet in diameter.
 With 16 men inside and a supply of fresh water and provisions it is said that this globe draws less than two feet of water. A 12inch ventilat- ing pipe can be raised through the top of the globe when it is afioat. This pipe can, it is claimed, be drawn in and the opening quickly closed when desired. A small sail can be raised with tlre aid of the ventilating pipe.
 The inventor of this device is a Dane. He states that he conceived the idea on seeing an iron water tank af1oat after a terrible wreck in which several lives were lost.-Popular Elec- tricity.

Not Really.

''Now. be careful, my man." said the lawyer, in an insinuating voice Was my client on the track?"
 He was," said the engine driver "As I turned the bend of the curve saw"
 "Sir." thundered the great man, "my client swears he tramped all the way through the wood by the side of the railway"
 ''But I swear he was on the track, How else did he get injured?" asked the engine driver, heatedly.
 Don't question me-" roared the lawyer. My client did not go on the rail, sir"
 Well, then" yelled the driver, "do you think ran my engine into the wood after him?"

hoped that tn e people of the state would vote to abolish the death penalty. Had they done so the sentence of the men now con- demned to death would have been communted to life imprisonment. Inamuch, however as a majority of the voters of the state have decided that the death penalty shall remain, Governor Hunt de- clsres that there is nothing more he can do, and that the sentences shall be executed on the same day. Nothing could be gained, he holds, by scattering the exc cutions over a serles of ten or twelve days. The must hang. and as Arizona's governor sees it there IS no valid reason why they should not all hang on the same day.
 It is probable that in two of the ten cases the death penalty will be commuted to life imprlsn- ment. However, Governor Hunt has made no announcement of his plans and there is the possi- bility that all ten of the condemn ed men will hang on the same day.

Java's Teak Forests.

Teak forests in Java cover 1,4S0,000 acres. and, as the area reforested is two and half times as large as the area felled in given time, this mag niicent stock of timber is continual ly increasing. A pest of the Java teak plantation is alang grass Qmperata arundinacae). In order to prevent the incursion of this plant, as hoeing is too expensive, the foresters SOW a le- guminous plant, Leucena glauca, be- tween the rows of teak seedlings. This chokes the alang, keeps the soil clean and enriches the soil in humus and ni- trogen, and ultimately disappears with the increase of the forest cover.

TYRANTS WHO WELDED RODS
parted Regime Thoroughly Be- IieVed in Flogging.

We do not remember any severe cases of fogging in the public schools or our little village on the Connecti- cut river-district, intermediate, gram mar, high. Hold out your hand!" and a ruler was brought down upon it; but we do not remember any in- stance of a sound whipping, Philip Hale writes in the Boston Herald. That was done by parents at home anxious to raise their young in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. We remember a household in Northampton where a riding whip, rawhide and a carriage whip were laid on a wretched boy according to the gravity of his offense, The use of the carriage whip, necessitating more dexterity in management, probably afforded the father more pleasure and certainly gave him more exercise. To chastise a child was in those days considered a solemn religious duty. There was the book of Proverbs with it's admonitions, and in the sixties clergymen and members of the con gregation believed that King Solomon wrote all the proverbs with his own hand except those explicitly attrib- uted to Agur. He that doubted this or did not follow Solomon's advice was worse than an infidel. But we do not remember any Dr. Busby in our schools; Dr. Busby, who had logged 16 bishops when they were his pupils-as bishops they no doubt still sat uneasily upon the bench Dr. Busby, who, looking at his pu- pill, South, famous afterward as a di- vine, exclaimed: T see great talents in that sulky boy, and shall endeavor to fog them out" There was no Dr. Parr, who, as De Quincey said, had reigned in blood and banqueted like Moloch upon children's cries. There was no Bowyer, the master at Christ's hospital, who "knouted his way through life, from bloody youth up to truculent old age," and with whom the words, "Tll fog you," were so familiar that when a female friend of one of the boys fingered at his door after having been told to go, Bowyer exclaimed: Bring that wom- an here, and I'll fog her" Floggings with all of this great line of school masters were 'luxuries for the mo- ment, and subjects of sweet consola- tion in the retrospect"

Arizona's Condemned Men

Unless present plans miscarv, Saturday, December thirteenth, will be day long remembered in Arizona. for. between sunrise and sunset on that day ten men con- vIcted of murder in the first de- gree will pay the penalty for their crimes on the gallows. says the last issue of Dumbar's Week ly.
 By their ballots the voters of the baby state have decreed that the penalty for taking human life shall be death. The ques- tion of the abolition of cap tai punishment was voted upon by all the people of the state at the election held November 3rd, last. and by slight majority of twelve hundred votes, the death penalty was retained on the sta tutes.
 Pending the Settlement of the question of the death penalty, Governor George w. P, Hunt is- sued reprievs for all the men con- victed of murder in Arizona the past three years. Fourteen re- prieves in all were issued and ten of them expire on December 18th Arizona's chief executive fondly

declares that he would resign
 rather than execute the murder CTS. Whether he will carry this declaration into effect remains to be seen. Sims is a personal friend of Governor Hunt and a firm believer in the executives Ideas of prison reform. It is be- lieved that Hunt can prevail up on Sims to remain in charge of the prison, although it seems cer- tain that the warden will detail some other prison official to spr- ing the trap on the ten condemn ed men.
 The names of the men to hang and a brief history of their cri- mes follows:
 Miguel Peralta was tried and sentenced to death in the super for court of Yavapai county for having shot and killed Carmen Aros, his divorced wife and Juan Delgado, her lover. The double killing took place at Jerome. Reralto was sentenced to hang on October Il. 1912, but was re- prieved until December 19. this year. Williams Campbell. a ne- gro shot and killed Ernesti Presti in the town of Prescott after a street brawl ln which Prestl threa tened to kill the negro at the first opportunity. Presti was an ex- prize fighter and was known as Kid Kirby" Certain extenuat- ing circumstances have develop ed in this case and Campbell is one of the men who stands a chance of receiving a commuta- ton at the hands of governor Hunt. Campbell was sentenced t. hang on July 28. 1911. but was reprieved until next month.
 Francisco Rodriguez was sent enced to hang on January 19. 1913 for the murder of his wife. the killing taking place in Phoexix. The murder of Mrs. Rodriguez by her drunken husband was one of the most brutal and cold blooded ever recorded in the criminal an- nals of the state
 Charles Schaeffer was tried and convicted of the murder of Ed ward Siles, the shooting taking pace Tn globe the early part of 1 last year. Schaeffer was original lg sentenced to hang on May g, 1913. but was granted reprieve until next month. There IS a slight possibility that Schaeffer will be the recipient of executive c,emency.
 N. B. Chavez was given the death penalty for the murder of Charles King, a night officer in Jerome. The shooting of King was the result of the arrest of Chavez by the officer some time previous to the killing. Had the ] original sentence been carried | out, Chavez would have been hanged on March IT, 1911. His reprieve granted by Governor Hunt extends to December 19, this year.
 Eduardo Perez shot and killed | a Mexican by the name of FeIicio | Chacon during a drunken brawl in the town of Prescott last year. He was tried, convicted and sen- fenced to hang on March 13, 1913 He will be one of the men hang ed next month.
 w. w. Kermeen was convicted | of the murder of George Hausel | in Bisbeen the early part of the l recent year. During the progress of his trial Kermeen testified on the stand that whenever he saw a person sleeping he had an all most irresistible impulse to slay. He shot Hausel while the latter was asleep and had no defense other than that of the mania to kill a sleeping person. His exc cution was set for October9. this year. but was delayed until the 18th of December by executive | action.

.fILIBUSTER5 IN
MEXICO ACTIVE
Out of Work, Many Mexi-
cans Have Joined RObber
Bands in Chihuahua.

Filibusters are riding over north
western chihuahua to the number OF
about 500. The bands are scattered
and are acting Independently. They
are receiving only small amounts Of
supplies from the American side and
these at odd intervals. This is the
situation as given by Americans re
turning from h section.
In nearly every case the filibusters
count on securing arms and ammuni-
ton by raiding isolated garrlSonS OF
ViIlastas. At points off the railroad
the garrisons are often not more than
a dozen men. There is seldom much
fighting. the f|ilibuster bands simply
surrounding the towns with superior
numbers and then disarmtng the garri-
sons. No attacks nave been made on
the Mexico North Western railroad and
the d"epredatiOns are generally on a
small scale.
Attempt to r orm Army.
At least two concentrated attempts
have been made to combine the scat
tered bands under one leader, accord
ing to Americans, but these hav failed
because Of the jealousy existing be
tween the bands. No general campaign
has been mad against the fhbusters'
on account of the small garrisons on
the North Western railroad, the VII
listas fearing that the road viii be cut
if any of the garrisOns are removed
The Americans repor that there are
few former federal soldiers in the Ill
ibuster bands, most of the f~ilibusters
being poems residing in the vicinity
who have become bandits on account
Of the general cessation Of all indus
tries.

Into United States.

Noco Ariz, Dec. 5.-COrOner E. A.

w p Hunt, Friday, suggested q means
of ending the continual wouHGIns so 81
NV bullets and shells fired by the nos
tile forces at Naco. Sonora lie would

aTbeTe is a remedy for this state of

80 10 fire into Mexico than for
Nexicans to fire into the United states;
OHr runs have the longer range and
bv returning this fire, we could force
the Immediate withdrawal Of the OF
WOn't Hold InGuests.
The coroner's telegram was inspired
by the killing of one and the wound1ng
of two more persons on American SOL
Friday. He appealed to the governor
over the bodies of those killed, because
of the danger to the c~OrOner's jurymen.
Hunt ReneWs Appeal.
Governor Hunt replied he a made
another appeal to the state department
for n protection of noncombatants IN
Arizona from Mexican fire.
The toll of three from the Mexican
fire Friday included Antonio Brace
monte. a Mexican teamster VINO was
shot through the heart and killed while
he was at work in front of the United
States postoffice here, n private John
Miller of the 10th u. S. cavalry, who
was shot in the breast while near the
border patrol camp.
~ Have Been Shot.
This makes a total Of AZ persons hit
by the Mexican fire during the siege of
NacO, Sonora, begun two months ago
bv governor Maytorena with his Villa
troops. The besieged, the Carranza
forces of Gen. Hill. have suffered less
in casualties since Nov. Is than have
the noncombatants in Naco. Ariz.
Coroner FolsOm's message to the
governor reviews the previous appeals
made by NacO citizens. Some time
ago committee asked the COVER
nor for permission to protect the
border with a band of 500 cowboys re-
placing the federal troop on the Dor
der patrol. This permission was re-
fused and governor Hunt took the mat
ter up with secretary Bryan and the
president.
Five Shot; President Pleased.
In commenting upon h result Of
this appeal, the message says:
There has been absolutely no i'm
provement in the situation. In fact
American prestige has sunk TO such
a degree that a United States customs
house has become a favorite target for
the cannon of the attacking forces. One
day when five persons were shot IN
NaCO the newspapers here printed the
statement that president Wilson was
much pleased with conditions in MeXt-
CO."
Eighteen Injured Are Americans.
OF the Al persons hit by the Mexican
fire, IS were Americans and % MeXl-
cans. Fourteen were American soldiers.
Five of the AZ are dead, one is blind
and two are in a dangerous condition
