ITS0 a New Method -Present. Prison System Oral- eized. The British Society of Psychical Research is turning its efforts in a thoroughly practical direction. Sir Oliver Lodge, the president of the society, announced, recently that a fund had been established with which to endow scholarships for • investigae tion on scientific, lines, thiefly of the Psychology of crime, Sir Oliver ar- gued that it was time civilized peo- ple ceased to be content with raieing a perennial class of habitual crime inals and keeping them in cheek only, by methods appropriate to sa-vages -by heinting them, by flogging them, by locking them up, and by exter- minating them. Any savage race could do that, and they were bouad to do it for their own protection. CANNOT BE LET LOOSE. Society could not let its malefac- tors run wad any more than it could release lunatics, Till they under- stood these tbingse they must lock them up, but the soaner 'they under- stood them the better. Force Is , no remedy, but intelligent treatment is. Who could doubt but that the study of obscure :Mental- facts would lead to the theory of , any babitual crim- inal and trace his malady as siitiely, as malaria has beep, traced t�' the mosquito, Once the evil was micler- stood the remedy would follow. Already hypnotic treatment or treatment by suggestion had occur- red to one physician. The fact * of imprisonment ought to lend itself to brilliant attemptsat reform.

It is uuwise and unscientific to leave prisoners merely to the dis- cipline of wardens and the preaching of chaplains. Thet was not the way to attack the disease of the body politie. • 1 -Te had eo full blown treat- ment to suggest, but ho foresaw, that there would be one .in the fu- ture. The discovery of a new star, a new element, or a new extinct an- irnal or plant was interesting, and surely the diecovery of a new human faculty would be interesting too. Al- ready the discovery of telepathy, constituted the first fruits of the so- ciety's work, as it laid open the way to the discovery of much more. Their aim was nothing less than the in- vestigation and better comprehen- sion of the human faculty, the hu- man personality, and human destiny. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. Symptoms Mach the Same in the Human Being as in, the Cow. This is a disease affecting cattle and sheep especially, but occasion- ally transmitted to horses, dogs, cats and poultry, and also- to man: In cattle it is characterized by fever and by an eruption of little blisters in the inside of the mouth. The blisters are at first filled with a colorless fluid which later beconies cloudy, and then the blisters break, leaving sore places, which heal slow- ly. A similar eruption occurs at the cleft of the hoof, and also frequent- ly on the udder. In the tatter cese the eruption is of serious coriee- guence to man, for from it ' .the milk may be fiontaminated. While the cow is ill, however, the milk usually becomes very scanty, and acquires so disagreeable a taste that it is unsalable. The disease lasts from ten days to .two weeks, but for some time after recovery the eow is in poor condition and gives but little milk. In the human being the symptoms are much the same as in the caw. The trouble begins with fever, .ach- ing pains M. the limbs and dizziness. After a day or two the eruption ap- pears in the interior . of the Mouth, and also on the face about the nose: The blisters, which are from .the -size of a, pin -head to that of a pea, soarx break, and feria yellowish scabs on the skin and ulcers On the mucous membrane of 'the mouth. The eruption may occur also on other parts of the body, especially on the fingers and toes, around the aails. In severe cases there may be bleed- ing from the mouth or from the eta bowels,and pneumonia sometimes occurs. The affection is seldom. fatal, either in man or in beast. , The disease is acquired in man through direct contact with an af- fected animal or by drinking con- taminated milk. The germ of foot- and-mouth disease has not been dis- covered, but it must be very min- ute, for, like that of yellow fever, it will pass through' a filter evhich will hold all bacteria large. enough to be seen . under the microscopes now in use. The treatment in man consists chiefly in the' use of' antiseptic and soothing lotions and mouth washes to relieve the distress caused by the blisters. The patient should stay in, bed while the fever lasts, and avoid exposure and fatigue for some time after convalescence is established. Caro must be taken by the nurse to avoid infection. All rags used in dressings should be burned, and bed linen and towels :should be boiled for half as hour before going .into the general wash, 4 NEWEST' HAT INVENTION.
