Invents a New Chicken.

George White has produced by Sc
lective breeding, the shortest-legged
chicken in existence after ten years
of effort, during which he crossed and
recrossed breeds. The result is
big white fowl that continually seems
to be sitting, the impression being due
solely to the shortness of it's legs. When
it walks it waddles like a duck.
The advantage. says White, is that
the newly invented" type Of chicken
is not a roamer and not scratcher.
1t cannot go very far and has not
enough of reach to scratch. The re-
suit is that it lives quiet, peace

"HoMING INSTINCT" IN CRABS
Existence Of 1t Is Recognized, But
Scientists Admit That 1t
Puzzles Them.

Noted naturalists of Great Britain
have recently discovered the extraor-
binary and surprising faculty in GER
tain crabs to find their way back al
most unbelievable distances to their
birthplace and original feeding
grounds. Sir Isaac Newton once de-
clared that with all his grand discov-
cries he was nothing but child pick
ing sea shells from the beach by the
great ocean of truth. The students OF
animal behavior, such as Professors
Jennings, Mast, Watson and others,
since this discovery Of "homing in
stinct" in crabs, are more convinced
than ever Of Newton's wisdom.
The scientific accounts of the crabs
walk" describes many of them, and in
particular male and female Of these
creatures, caught at Yorkshire, Eng
land, and transported to Skegness in
Lincolnshire, which crawled all the
way back to exactly the place they
had left.
Traps had been set in the place
where they we're originally captured
and the shellfish experts awaited with
great skepticism the results of the un-
usual experiment
All investigations of how and why
crabs migrate back to their home, as
in the case of pigeons, have proved so
far fruitless.

ECZEMA ON cHILD's BODY

$40 High ST., Oshkosh, Wis.-'When
about two months old my nephew had
sores break out on different parts of
his body. The trouble first began as
a rash which itched SO at night some
one always held his hands, even while
sleeping, as at the least scratching it
would run together and form scabs.
His night-clothes had to have mittens
on them or the scabs would be raw
and bleeding by morning. His cloth

trouble. His face and scalp were COW

ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE
GOOD.

IN the state of New Jersey Col Ed
ward A. Stevens, commissioner of
= public works, is trying an expert
ment with a convict camp, which
hasn't even a fence around it. Thirty
prisoners were sent there from the
oyer-crowded Trenton prison, to work
on the highways; and the idea is not
only to improve the roads but to i'm
prove the prisoners and to help solve
the prison problem.
The workers have named it the
Don't Worry Club" while it is known
officially as State Camp No. 1. The
word convict" and the idea of pris-
oners are eliminated everywhere.
There are no cells, and although there
are several guards, they mingle with
the men in friendly intercourse. Wien
their days labor is finished they enjoy
baseball, music or any other healthful
amusement.
The men are selected on merit from
the state prison, and there are hun

You want a coy home, a free life,

were prizes awarded in all districts in
Saskatchewan The quality was ex-
cellent. In Alberta it will soon be-
come the popular feed. In Manitoba
the growing of alfalfa is quite success

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from a trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contribution:
'TI dream again of fields of grain
that stretch from sky to sky,
And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars go roaring by,
Wooden hamlets as saw them-noble
cities still to be
To girdle stately Canada with gems
from sea to sea;
Mother of mighty manhood, Land OF
glamour and of hope,
From the eastward sea-swept Islands
to the sunny Western slope"
It is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.

In time, it is believed, the camp will
not only be self-governed, but also

will not only mean revolution in Pc
nology, but be cause for rejoicing to

self, to try again, and he ought to
have an opportunity that is favorable.
He ought not to be put in an environ
ment where everything around him
suggests the crooked, the wicked, where
everything tends to arouse the brute
in him to develop the evil thing in him,
the love of revenge, bitterness, hatred
and to kill the good. He ought to be
in an environment which would help
him to forget the bad, which would
only suggest the good, the pure, the
clean, which would suggest his divine
ly, not his beastly, propensities, and
which would hold out hope of another
chance chance to make good.
The brutal instinct lingering in man
has been graphically illustrated in our
cruel, inhuman treatment of prisoners,
and In our barbaric slaughter of hui
man beings, upon whom the death
penalty has been pronounced. Justice
does not demand such an exhibition OF
horrors. There must be some more
human way of treating our erring
brothers.
How can we expect a criminal to
get back the self respect which he
has lost, by cruel treatment, by half
starving him, treating him like an
animal instead of like a man, putting
him in an iron cage away from Gods
light and air?
There is good material, ability
enough, energy, resources enough in
these people we thus deprive of lib
erty and life, to perform great services
to humanity as well as to themselves
and their families. What right have
we to deprive them at least OF
chance to make good? How often the
crime we commit against our prison
ers Is far greater than their crime to
society,"
If we wish to reform prisoners we
should try to make them self respect
ing, healthy beings. Their environ
ment should be as attractive and as
normal as possible. Reform means
hea1thful, normal conditions. The
mind is in no state to improve or re-
form when suffering from mental de-
preston due to the vicious, criminal
suggestive environment, where every
thing reminds the prisoner of his fall,
or his inferiority, and everything
about him tends to impress upon him
the fact that he is not human being,
but an outcast.
We have all felt the restful, restor-
ing, renewing power of beautiful
scenery, of country life. Why should
we deprive a prisoner Of these helps
to health and normality? Nature is a
great restorative, and criminals should
be kept where they can get the full
benefit of the sunlight, air and country
life, in an environment which would
suggest only the good and true, filled
with possibilities of recovering lost
manhood and starting fresh.
