pionship Of his homeland. but has
vet to demonstrate either that he
has a punch or that he has much
ring ability beyond that Of a fair
boxer. Quiet by nature and at times
even morose, Scott has been well
conditioned, but failed to thrive
mentally on American methods or
gain stimulation from the vocal
outpourings and the combative
spirit Of his New York manager,
Jimmy Johnston.
Sharkey, thoroughly at home,
splendidly conditioned and equip
ped. has displayed every determin-
alton to remove the stigma Of a
somewhat erratic career and re-
move all obstacles in his path to
the Worlds championship battle.
In speed, punch and resourceful-
ness, as well as confidence, the
American has marked advantages
over his British rival. Sharkey has
been at his worst among rushing.
ripping types of fighters like Demp-
sey. Risko and Heeney. He has been
at his best against less aggressive.

as Wills, Maloney and Loughran.

England prides herself on the impartiality of her JUS

But now in England a movement to exempt women
from the death penalty has been headed by DR.. Meth
ven, governor of the Maidstone prison. # it were sue
cessful, even the most fragrant murder committed by a
woman would not be punished by hanging.
Curiously, many British women are strongly against it.
They demand sex equality, even on the gallows. The
WomenS Freedom league calls such a measure sex dis
elimination and protests vehemently against it. The
secretary is quoted as saying: Il am strongly opposed
to capital punishment, but I am against women being
exempt from the death penalty while men are not
exempt"
Obviously, these women are not eager themselves to
dance upon the air. And theirs is no fanatic zeal to see
an erring sisted punished by hanging. But an exemption
Of this sort would put a weapon in the hands of anti
feminists. If women are not TO suffer the punishments
of men, why should they share the privileges? After all

christian Science MOntiOr)

SeSA4 eSAAVA~
There is some justice in the complaint of a spokesman
for the American theatre that the people who last year
were protesting loudly against the prevalence Of objec-
tionable plays are strangely quiet this season, when there
has been a marked improvement in the type Of drama
offered. But the silence Of those who demand decency
in the theater Is not due to loss Of interest. There are
two good reasons for it. One is that when the
situation is as 1t ought to be. it is felt that there is
no need to talk about it. The other is that, even If favor
able comment is made, it is likely to receive less publicity,
and therefore attract less notice, than a protest.
Nevertheless, the theatrical mans point is well taken.
A better class OF plays is being presented this season, and
1t is right that attention should be called to the fact.
A glance at some Of the successes Of the season, in New
York and on 1.-The road" will show that there is no lack
of entertainment Of artistic value, with a minimum Of
Objectionable features Among others, for instance. there
are: Berkeley Square" Bird in Hand" Bitter Sweet"
Broken Dishes" 1T Never Rains" Journeys End"
"June Moon" Meteor" Michael and Mary" "Ripples,"
THE Criminal Code" 1.-The First Mrs. Fraser" "The New
Moon and the revived operettas Of Victor Herbert,
Reginald de Koven and Franz Lehar. In addition, the
Stratford Players from England and the Chicago Civic
company are offering Shakespeare to Ameri-
can audiences.
This improvement in plays is significant Of American
public taste In the theater. The people as a whole do
not want uncleanness on the stage, and in the long run
will not tolerate it. As the theatrical representative al
ready referred to puts 1t. 1.-THE people have put the

The Real Discoverer of No. 9

The part played by a Kansas farm boy in the discov-
cry of the ninth planet in the suns system is we'll enough
Rs a popular version Of so notable an event in astron-
omy that one has to go back to Herschel to find its like,
but it is not the real story of the discovery.
That story leads back to painstaking calculations and
theorizing Of Percival Lowell. The discovery Of the new
IS one was as though from the grave. For Percival
Lowell, proceeding on a similar sumption by Jean Le-
verrier in an earlier day, which led to the discovery of
Neptune through the Potsdam observatory, foretold the
spot where this latest planet should be.
Lowell died, but at his observatory at Flagstaff, Ari-
zona, other workers, some Of whom were Of his train
ing, kept working on his theory of planetary location,
and now by the chance of a boys keen observance of a
Photographic plate, Lowells hypothesis is verified.
So it is to q trained authority III the science Of as
tronomy that the scientific world is indebted for this
newest event of major Importance in the realm Of the
stars. Who knows how soon it may be the incentive to
locating a tenth member Of the suns planetary group?
The planets occur in an arithmetical progression that
has been reduced to figures. and all that is required in
the formula OF planetary discovery is q mind capable Of
the most abstruse mathematical calculations and a tele-
scope Of great power for stellar photography. In due
time the existence Of 9 tenth planet should be verifiable
