Sullivan Law Results.
An Eighteenth Century Writer on
Ending Crime by Legislation.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: To all
appearances the holdup has become
safe and profitable occupation. FOR
months we have had almost daily re-
porto of robberies, some of which have
involved the taking of life. but few
accounts Of the capture of bandits. And
still that wise act intended to end all
crime the Sullivan law, Is on our stat
ute books. In the Colonial days they
had the Indian to fear and all went
armed; now we have the bandit and by
law the honest citizen cannot even pos
sess the ordinary means of protecting
his life and property without becoming
a criminal
The following extract from an essay
on Grimes and Punishment" by Mar
quis Beccaria, writer Of the eighteenth
century, is worthy of consideration by
our lawmakers:
A principal source of errors and injus-
ticc is false ideas OF utility. That legis-
lator has false ideas OF utility who con-
siders particular more than general con-
veniences, who would sacrifice thou
sand real advantages to the fear Of an
in,nginary or trifling inconvenience; who
would deprive men of the use OF lire Tor
fear OF their being burned. and OF water
for fear OF their being drowned, and VINO
knows Of no means OF preventing evl
but by destroying It.

which forbid citizens TO carry arms,
disarnling those only who are not dis
posed 10 commit the crime which the
laws mean 10 prevent. Can II be SUI.
nosed that those who have the courase
"a violate the most sacred laws OF hu-
manity and the most important OF the

Poe in Richmond.
The, Shrine There Not Meant to
Conflict with Other Memorials.

To THE NEW YORK HERALp-.JThe cir
cunstances OF Poe's residence in Rich
mond. Va. were not adequately stated
in Mr.. Alvords letter. ] can trace a
dozen separate Poe residences at Rich
mond from the time he was 3 years
OF age until within a few weeks Of his
death. and among those still standing
is the house wherein he dwelt with his
own mother and where she died.
Poe not only edited the Southern Lit
crary Messenger III his adult years but
wrote for the Richmond Examiner and
Whio. 1t was at Richmond that he
made and completed the final revisions
OF the literary work Of his lifetime, in

with all that relates to the preservation
OF the Poe Cottage. the Baltimore roe

II being accomplished at Richmond does
not conflict with these other interests I:
on the contrary, 1t stimulates and helps

most in these matters is less discussion

Where Spring Was.

seychcd for spring. The branches
on bush and tree were bare,
The gardens drab and dreary,
No blossom anywhere,
Tho lawns and lanes and meadows
All muddy quaking bogs,
The evenings damp and chilly,
The mornings wrapped in fogs.

And lo along Broadway
The florists shops with crocus
And daffodil we're gay,
The Easter lily lifted
Its white and golden crown,

The Gulf Streams Effect.

The vagaries of the Gulf Stream
and its effect on the climate are
stock materials on which to base dis
cussions about the weather. Years
ago 1t was the correct thing to dem
onstrate that the mild climate of
Europe was due to a strictly Ameri-
can industry, namely, the benefcence
of the Gulf Stream. Now JOHN BULL
makes positive denial that the Gulf
Stream has anything to do with the
European weather factory.
AS matter of fact, either conten-
tion is bit strong. The Gulf Stream
exerts no direct warming effect on
western Europe. AS an ocean cur
rent it does not reach any part Of
Europe. Indeed, as a definite cur
rent it's flow ceases anywhere be-
tween the latitude Of the Carolinas
and the Newfoundland coast, these
being roughly the winter and the
summer limits. To this area it is
constantly carrying a volume Of
water probably greater than the dis
charge of all the rivers OF the con-
tinent combined.
Here the wind becomes a factor.
The skin friction of southwest
wind against water drags a surface
drift northeastward and the warm
drift laves every shore of western
Europe. Even Hammerfest Is pretty
free from ice all through an arctic
winter. 1t is practically an open
port. And this is the mission, indi-
rectly of the Gulf Stream, directly Of
it's wind driven drift.
But the warmth of western Europe
does not come from warm coast
waters; for, in the main, the water
is colder than the air. The warmth
is due to the windf that come from
lower latitudes, the southwest winds
charged almost to saturation with
moisture. The warm water over
which they blow prevents any great
loss of the latent heat contained in
the moisture of the air until it is
near the northwest coast Of Europe.
Then the fog and the rain are let
loose.
For every pound Of water con-
densed from the moisture of the air
enough latent heat is set free to
warm about half ton OF water one
degree In temperature. Thus, the
winds blowing over western Europe
are comparatively warm in winter,
and are fairly cool in summer. The
mean temperature of January in
Hammerfest, four degrees beyond the
arctic circle, is warmer by one de
gree than the January temperature
Of New York city. The winter
months of London are about eight
degrees warmer.
The warm winters of western Eu-
rope therefore are due to several COM
plex factors; but the Gulf Stream
which supplies the waters Of the
great north Atlantic drift, although
not the sole factor in English weather,
is factor which cannot properly be
neglected.

step up and get yours.
The greeting was, in the Ires nee of
several thousand persons. Mary re-
ceived the keys to the city. When she
responded she was in tears, overcome
by the warm greeting.
Now I've gone and cried, and I'm
afraid can't sing tonight" she said.

New Jerseys Water Supply.


New Jersey reveals water resources
equal to the needs Of large expan-
sion of population and of great In
crease in the already large industrial
development. This applies particu-
larly to the nearby counties of Essex,
Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, Union and
Middlesex, and it is to this district
especially that an unfailing supply OF
water is of prime Importance.
This territory Of 1,01S square
miles has now a population of more
than two millions. 1t includes the
great manufacturing centers Of
Newark, Paterson. Passaic and Jer-
sey City. Every year sees additions
to the industrial plants in the region
and it has an annual rate of in
crease in population as great as that
OF New York itself.
To furnish the water supply for
/. these counties there are now thirty
three systems in operation. The
growth OF the demand for water has
been enormous. In 1882 40,000,000
gallons daily were required; in 1890
the consumption had increased to
| 62,0O0,000, and in 1905 to 141,000,O00.
In the fifteen years following, to
1920, there was a yearly increase in
requirements OF more than 100000
gallons. Although tire figures for
1920 are not at hand it is safe to say
that this small part OF New Jersey is
now using more than 25o,000,000 gal
Ions of water daily.
Present sources of supply will be
inadequate long before another
twenty years has passed, and the
question OF expanding those sources
by increases OF reservoir acreage and
Sy providing for flow and distribu-
| tion is now engaging the attention of
our neighbors across the river. The
report OF the engineers employed to
make survey is highly encourag-
ing. Speaking generally they say
there is scarcely State in the Union
so favorably situated for furnishing
an abundant water supply to great
metropolitan district as is New
| Jersey.
/ OF the four reservoirs suggested
for the entire State one alone is suf-
ficient to supply the six counties
named for nearly half a century to
come. This is a Passaic reservoir
extending from Pompton Lakes to
4 Summit, Chatham and Madison. The
great artificial lake would be eigh-
/ teen miles long with several deep
lateral bays 1t would cover sixty
one square miles, or fifteen times the
area Of Lake Hopatcong.
II is estimated that this reservoir
would provide continuous flow of
\ 757OO0,0O0 gallons daily. Allowing
! S0,000,000 gallons a day for indus
I trial purposes and to keep the lower
I channel OF the river wholesome.
/ there would remain 677000,000 gal
Ions day for the public water sup
! ply. MS dlullG 10 LllplG IMAM wv
100000 gallons in excess of the esti-
mated requirements for as far ahead
as 1850.
The bill Of damages New Jersey
would be called upon to pay for sub
merging the valuable lands and wip-
ing out the 2,15O dwellings, the man
ufacturing plants, the school houses
and churches which are within the
suggested reservoir area would be
heavy. When TO this Is added the cost
of construction the sum involved
becomes even more formidable. But
from some source the water must
come or the day Is not distant when
progress in this thriving industrial
district will come TO an END
