Between 1882 and 1908, Mr.. Forster
said, there were 1887 lynchings in "A
of our states. The only other place in
the world where lynching existed, he
said was in certain parts Of Russia
where there are inadequate penalties
for horse stealing. Lynching, he as
serted, exists nowhere under the Brit
iish, French, Dutch or German flags,
ialthough they all cover frontier con-
ditions and mixed races.
AS to why such conditions existed
under the American flag, Mr.. Forster
pointed out the difference between
the Jurisprudence of the country and
IotherS. His argument was, IN part
this:
"The English, Scotch, Canadian,
Australian, South African or Indian
trial Judge is strong Judge, not a
mere moderator. He gives the jury
the benefit of his experience and skill
by advising them in difficult cases
respecting the weight and effect OF
the evidence.
The distinctive feature Of Anglo
Saxon Jury trials is a strong and ex'
perienced trial judge aiding and ad'
vfsing the Jury, but leaving the ulti.
mate decision to the jury. instead OF
acting as weak and opinionless mod
orator, as the trial judge must do in
three-fourths of our states. In Can.
ada a Judge may try most criminal
cases without fury where a jury is
waived by the defendant.
IN Great Britain and Australia the
t ial Judge in any criminal case where
the defendant elects to stand mute
Tor fails to testify in his own behalf)
may. and generally does, charge the
jury that they may consider the de-
lfendant's failure to testify in his own
behalf. New Jersey is the only state
here where a Judge may do this

Time.

The scientists at Washington re-
port upon some very interesting free
shows to be given during 1917 as
follows:
Seven eclipses, four of the sun and
three OF the moon, will cause the
astronomical observers to tilt their
telescopes skyward during the year
about to begin. OF the total num-
Der, however. only two will be Wis
ible in North America.
The first OF the astronomical phe-
nomena will be total eclipse of the
moon, which is scheduled for the
night Of January 7-8 and will be Wis
IDLE generally in North America, as
we'll as in central and western Eu-
rope, northwestern Africa. South
America and the central and eastern
portions OF the Pacific ocean.
Also a January. On the 2SSrd Of the
! month, there will &c rs-t!s! eclipse
OF the sun. This will be visible in
Europe, Asia, and northern Africa,
but not to America.
On June 10 there will be another
partial eclipse of the sun, also invis-
ible to North America. Should as
tronomers desire to take observa-
lions of this eclipse 1t would be
necessary for them to set up their In.
struments in northern Siberia or in
the area around the north pole.
A total eclipse Of the moon will
take place on July 4. but will not be
part OF the Independence day cele-
bration in the United States. The
beginning Of the eclipse will be Wis.
ible generally in Asia except the
northeastern portion, Australia, Eu-
rope except the northwestern por-
ton. Africa, and the South Atlantic
ocean. The ending will be visible
generally in western Australia, south
western Asia, Europe, Africa and
South America.
Later in the month of July there
will be another partial eclipse Of the
sun. which will not be visible in
either North or South America.
Americans likewise will miss an
opportunity to view the annular
eclipse OF the sun scheduled for, De-
cember IA. This eclipse will be Wis.,
ibIe only in the extreme southeastern
portion Of South America. southern
Australia, the South Atlantic and In
dian oceans. and part Of the Pacific
ocean.
In compensation for what they have
missed during the year the residents
throughout nearly the whole of North
America will be treated to total
eclipse of the moon, which is sched-
uled to take place three days after
Christmas. The beginning of this
eclipse will be visible generally in
North and South America throughout
the Pacific ocean, and the extreme
northeastern part Of Asia. The end
ing may be viewed generally In North
America, throughout the Pacific
ocean. in eastern Asia and Australia.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Some inter

trasted with other countries in an ad.

among the enlightened nations the
United States leads the world in free
ing murderers and felons," he declar'
ed, while Anglo-SaXon countries not
under the American flag have the least
percentage of murders and felonies.'
Mr.. Forster gave the number OF
'homicides including manslaughters)
in the United States in 1912 as 9,l52;
the numper of executions 145. In 1913
there were $500 such crimes and only
IS executions. In 1914 the figures
were S,251 homicides and manslaush'
tiers as against "A executions (and two
OF these were for another crime); and
in 1915 there were $3.50 killings and
only 119 executions.
"The murder rate in the United
States" said Mr.. Forster, SIS from -
to 90 times greater than the murder
rate of the British empire and other
northwestern European countries.
"Our murder rate for the period
19O9.1913 was ga per 100000 of popu-
