Cap~tal Punishnent In Japan. To those wh6 ao ujot tully apec'ate the revolution in .apanese manners *nd customs. It may well seem strange that the sentence ot the murderer of Boshi 'oru. the ex-minister, should be impriEonment for life with hard la bor. They might have expected ."someh m g with boiling oil in it." .Sir Ruthrtord Alcock, the first British aiin>"er to Japan. writing some forty years ago. dwelt upon the severity of the .L'-anese laws. "The code is prob ably 1.e bloodiest in the world. for death is the penalty of most offense3. The Japanese seems to proceed on the principle that he who violates one law will violate any other, and that a will Tul violator is unworthy of life." Un der this regime it was considered a $pecl::1 privilege to be allowed to exe cuto oneself and commit hari-k-ai. but this was reserved for people of rank. Whe common people had to be content kith the executioner's sword. Under the criminal code which came into force in 1882. and which is found - ed on the code of Napoleon, death by hangintg is provided as a penalty for tertain, offenses, but of recent years It has become rarer and may now be considered obsolete. Probably the Japanese, with their traditional con tempt for death regard penal servitude for life as a greater punishment. For nerly no conviction was made except on conission by the prisoner, and there was an abundant use of torture. That. of course, was officially abolish ed many years ago, but it was prac ficed occasionally at a much later date, and a case is known in which to'tura was undoubtedly applied by the police at one of the treaty ports in 1S9.

WrIte tda. ROHN A. SAL.ZER SEED CO.. I tLa erosse, Wis. A New Solution. HE world may become indebt ed :o Rtussialora new method cf overland transportation. The :e' n !~e~ C; of Prhce KhIka, the Czar's Minister of Ways and Communication, and i3 so simple that one is inclined to won der that it was not thought of before. The plan contemplates the employment of automobiles of from three to six horse power for hauling ordinary carts over tranways made of boards. sheet iron, cement or any material that may be found readily at band. Stone, iron and wooden tramways have been used for transportation from time Immemo rial; traction road engines are not new. nor can the idea of drawing farmers' or carters' wagons in trains from farm to factory to the nearby market towns or railway centres be regarded as a novelty. The traction engines hith ert& thought of In -this connection, however, are comppmratively slow, ex pensive and so heavy that a consider able portion of the power generated by them would be required to haul their own weight. Joreover, a pre requisite for their successful employ ment is a hard, smooth andYcostly ro:d. PrInCe Khilkoff's initial experiments; were conducted in the park surrotnd-1 ing his home. Ordinary sleepers were laid down, and upon these two lines of planks were nailed, instead of rails, at a distance apart correspondin~ to that of the automobile wheels. Wood en combings were placed on the outer sides of the planks as guard. to pre vent the maebine from leaving the track. With an ordinary three and one-half horse power carriage a cart laden with bricks, and weighing with Its contents nearly two tons, was easily hauled over the wooden tram way at a speed of twelve versts an hour. The estimated cost of a tram way constructed like the foregoin~ is less than 2000 ibles per verst, while tue cheapest macadamized road would cost five times as much. The first prac tical experiment of the new system is to be made between Tsarkoe-Selo and the new water works, which are being built a few versts from that city. The line will be laid over swampy ground, where an ordinary road could not be, built. Various substances will be tr"' for the new automobile rails, such as iron, cement and different kinds of wood. In the event of the success of this experiment, of which there Is no rea sonable doubt, the system Is to be ex tended throughout the empire as a sup-j leda asu>* Didi;;portation I Ne oints not reached .D"Nfil rs. Another consideratIon moving the htussian Miinister to extend the sys ern is the Impracticability of ordinary ussan roads for carriages and carts n the spring and autumn, when the wheels are apt to sink hub deep Into mire. The considerations are as valid n the greater part of this country as they are in Ruhssia, and it is quite jpos sible that the general adoption of rince Khilkoft's plan would be the solution of the haulage problem in the rural districts of the United States. An automobile can be bought at a price but little exceedin~ that of a tearn of horses, and costs incomparably less to eep. Th~e cheapness of the timber tramway would lay the road tax bogy, which fills farmers with apprehension henever lm'roved roadways are mentioned. The point which would ount most heavily in favor of the tramway principle is its ndaptability to all locations- On any sort of soil the sleepers and board rails could be aid with equal celerity and ease- No clay would be too soft, nor sand too deep for It; the road could be made to follow the rubble stone bank of dry river, and it would not be necessary to ae long d~etours aror~nd marsh lands. - On grounds of economy and enerl utility, the plan appeals to one so strongly that It would be surprising if some of the freeholders or supervis ors of our progressive rural communi a~ should not give it an early trial. New Method of Road Building A novel system of road construction has been successfully resorted to In M~onmouth, IlL The ground was pre pared for it by grading and being al lowed to remain so for two months. It was trcated to an occasional scrap ing,so that It would pack evenly, be ing thus rendered hard and even for the laying cf a surface ofl brick, the chief constructive feature. The first thing was the setting of a curbing, made of two by six inch planks seven feet apart, held( by oak stakes eighten inchs long and p)ut down every fourc feet. Inside of this was a live-nneil bed of sand, all evened up. and a sing-e. ourse ofl No. 1 paving brick then put lown, a fine roadbed being thus ob tained. Outs'de the curl) two feet of rushed roek wvere laid, graded up to make an easy approach, this plau in suring a way of eleven feet in widib, and, as the earth on eac2 side was raded and worked, there was alto gethier a width of some forty feet, af fording tracks on each side for use in dry weather. Such a brick road cos bout ninety cents a running foot. The industrial Discoverer.
