CRIMINALS PUT UNDER WATER
Capital Punishment BY Drowning Was
Common Method Of Procedure
for Many Centuries.

Drowning was long method OF cap
ital punishment. Tacitus says that the
Germans hanged their greater GRIM
inals, but the meaner and more infa-
nous offenders were plunged under
hurdles in the bogs and fens. Drown
ing was also a Roman punishment.
The Lex Cornella decreed that parri-
cides should be sewn in sack with a
dog, cock, viper and ape and thrown
into the sea. The Anglo-Saxon codes
condemned women thieves to be
drowned
In Scotland In 1856 man con-
victed of theft and sacrilege was SEN
fenced to be drowned, by the queens
special grace" As late as 1911 man
was drowned at Edinburgh for stealing
lamb. In 1923 IL gypsy women were
sentenced to be drowned In the Edln-
burgh Nor Loch. BY that time the
punishment by drowning had become
obsolete in England. 1t survived in
Scotland until 1885 (the year OF the
drowning of Wlgtown martyrs), and
in France was employed as late as
lT93.

GREENLAND ALWAYS ON MOVE
Prove That Continent Is Pro-
crossing Westward.

1t was not necessary to wait until
the North pole had been discovered to
learn that the location of the poles Is
constantly subject to change. 1t shifts
about considerably. never wandering
far at time, but this wobble has been
watched for years by the scientists of
the world, and recently there has been
more learned about the erratic conduct
OF the North pole than ever before,
through the expedition Of Danish
scientist, Doctor Jansen. He has
passed many months In making Infinite
measurements and observations over
the length and breadth Of Greenland
and has come to the conclusion that
the movement Of the pole Is more than
a wobble-it is very well-defined and
constant movement. and incidental to
this the whole OF the Greenland con-
tinent Is moving westward at the rate
OF 20 yards year. These discoveries
seem to Indicate cooclusively that the
cold countries Of the North will at
some more OF less remote day become
warm countries and comfortably habit
able.

Ten years later when 1t had been

Reflected Eneray.

w. w. Coblentz and Z. 0. Lamp
land have made number Of measure
ments of the ratio of reflected energy
to the energy re-radiated after being
absorbed. This latter energy is of
much longer wave-length than the for
mer and is entirely absorbed by plac-
ing thin cell of water in the path Of
the light from the planet. The meas
urements were made by means OF a
delicate thermocouple capable of de-
tecting the heat from tallow candle
at distance Of many miles. The ra-
ito OF the measurements made with
and without the water cell is called
the water cell transmission and de-
notes the ratio Of the reflected energy
to the whole.
