TO DEMoLlSH.PRISON"
Saint Lazare Famous in French His
tory Will be Destroyed.

The famous prison of Saint Lazare,
the penal institution for women situat-
led in the heart Of Paris, whose tragic
and sinister history dates from the
! eleventh century, is to be demolished
by the French government, says a
Paris dispatch.
The ancient prison harboring within
it's dark and sonbre embrace the most
dreary dungeons in the world, has out
grown its usefulness and will be en-
tirely destroyed.
With it's demolition will go an in
stitution intimately connected with
some of the most exciting moments Of
French history. In the twelfth century
the prison Of Saint .Lazare was used to
imprison enemies of the kings and
persons afflicted with leprosy. Louis
the Great established c. SPECIAL hospital
for lepers in the prison.
For five centuries Saint Lazare con-
tinued. as refuge for lepers. AT the
end of the seventeenth century Saint
Lazare was transformed into an insti-
tuition for the correction Of young
women whose morals" had become
"derelict.'
Parents who were unable to control
their wilful daughters would turn them
over to the authorities for imprison-
ment in this institution. Women found
guilty by the courts of Paris of haV-
ing committed any crimes were also
sentenced to seclusion there.
On July 13, 1889. the people of Paris
pillaged and partly destroyed the
prison, stealing the food and releasing
about fifty OF the prisoners. Very
shortly after, with the reconstruction
of the prison, the guilotine room was
esta blished.
During the last fifty years of its
history Saint Lazare has harbored
within it's dingy corridors Of tomblike
cells women convicted Of :all sorts OF
crimes, prostitutes, thieves. murderers,
and many found guilty Of political
crimes.
The most famous inmates OF very
recent times have been Mine. 'Caillaux'
wife of the former premier of. France,
recently cxiled. who shot and killed the
editor OF LIE Figaro, and Mata-Hari,
notable beauty, who was shot last year
as q German spy.

LIFE OF SEA CANNlBALS
English Professor Gives obstructive
Natural History.

All the wonderful surprising ro-
nance OF natural history that lies hid
den in q seaweed -cloaked pool on the
shore was disclosed by j. Arthur
Thomson, an Aberdeen University
professor, to an audience of children
and parents at lecture in the Royal
Institution, relates q London dispatch.
Everybody was thrilled at the vivid
little account Of the shore fight be-
tween the starflsh and the small sea
nrchin. The starfsh puts one OF its
arms ON the shell of the sea urchin and
the sea urchin bites with the infinitely
small, three -bladed scissors which are
on it's back. The starfish strips those
blades away. and does it time and
again until the defensive weapons are
all gone Then it is goodby for the
sea urchin in the elastic mouth Of the
starfish.
And" said the professor, this
starfish has not vestige of brains.
Here we have the problem of animal
behavior ut it's lowest level among
brainleSs creatures.
Natural history IS much con-
iugation of the verb to eat from
they eat to they have been eaten
"Cannibalism in the Cradle was
the text of one of Professor Thom-
sons anecdotes. 1t concerned the Or
binary or common whelk, which builds
a malvelously intricate system Of egg
cells. The eggs are laid, but In the
develor~,ont they prey one on another.
They e.: and eat until, out OF the
first multitude, there is only one left
To grow into n full-siZed whe!k.
Here was a little problem to illus
trate what the professor called the
"circulation Of matter" or the family
tree of nature. The rock turbot Is an
excellent and edible fish. 1t takes:
Ten pounds OF giant whelks eaten
to make one pound of turbot.
Ten pounds OF worm to make one
pound of whellis.
Ten pounds of sea dust to make one
pound of worm.
Sea dust" said Professor Thom-
son. "bccomes worm, worm becomes
whelk, whelk becomes turbot, and
he hushed his voice to a whisper
"turbot becomes YOU"
