: Perjury is the commonest crime and
the least often punishedsin this coun-
try. It is often difficult to convict q
man for %concealing assets OF profits
from the tax collector, or sales from
the food administrators. because the
charges are too technical for a jury to
grasp; but perjury is easily understood
and in many cases the books and pa
pers Of the accused convict him, says
New York Commercial. Judges fire.
Iquently protest against the perjury
committed by witnesses. In other coun-
tries a trial judge issues a bench war
rant ard directs the sheriff to arrest
"a lying witness before he leaves the
courtroom.

England is beginning to recognize
the Importance of intellectual training
for a growing democracy. A new law
will abolish all exemptions from school
attendance until the completion of the
fourteenth year, with power granted to
local authorities to raise the age to
fifteen. Pupils will only be permitted
to enter or leave at stated periods in
the year. A rigorous system of school
attendance will be accompanied by
strict limitations on the labor of chill
dren during their attendance in the
elementary school. The elementary
school curriculum of the future will be
less bookish and more practical than
hitherto and will be better articulated
with the higher schools. a v New Re-
public. For those pupils who. cannot
pass On to a secondary school. more
advanced courses will be provided in
the last two years of the elementary
school period.

NJ OF THE PAST,

In u Revolutionary struggle, wher
NE were but a feeble folk, we man.
aged to collect a far greater al my in
proportion to our population. First
and last, we had in the field some
100000 men, while the population
could not have been more than 4,OOO,-
900, or an average of one soldier to
every 13 persons. At a similar pro.
portion, we should now have an army
iof more than 100000. In thr War
Iof 1872 we raised an army Of some
100000, when the country's popula-
ton was only about 7,200,00O; or one
soldier to - persons, says Columbia
rs. CO. State. This would indicate
Ian army for this great war of at least
100000. In the War Between the
Sections, it has been estimated that
ithe Northern states. with q population
|of 22.000,000, raised 2,S60,OOO men, or
|about enc in eight. This proportion
would give ar army of over 100000
for use against Germany. The South,
lin the same war, out of a white popu-
lation-from which alone it drew its
Iarmies--of something like 100000,
put into the field 100000, or a little
more than n in eight. This also
indicates an army for use against Ger
'many-should it be needed-of at least
100000 or 100000. In the face
of these figures, confronted by these
achievements Of America, in arms
in times past, our little array in
France, after a year of effort, is not
entirely amazing-or satisfying.

MADE USE OF STEAM POWER
Centuries Ago, Men Were Familiar
With Its Possibilities, but Did
Not Develop Them.

A real curiosity In the United States
patent office is working model OF the
nrst steam engine. built by clever
inventor named Hero a century and a
half before Christ was born.
modern engineer would call Ii q
steam reaction turbine. II consists OF
spherical vessel pivoted on an axis
and supplied with steam through one
OF the pivots. The steam escapes
through bent pipes in opposite direc.
lions, thus causing the globe TO re-
volve.
Hero was the first steam engineer.
Having hit upon the idea that the ex.
pansise energy OF steam could be used
for power, he developed number OF
devices for It's mechanical employ
ment.zzz
One of them was n hollow altar. be
meath which fire was built. Under
the altar was vessel containing wa.
ter The latter, converted into steam,
opened the temple doors by pressure
upon a pair OF vertical posts on which
the doors swung. When the fire cool
ed. the doors closed automatically.
The aneients 2,OO0 years and more
ago used steam power for turning splits
and various other unimportant pur-
poses. But II does not seem TO have
occurred 10 them that this source of
energy might be made available for
mechanical utilization on large scale.
