Some of the French newspapers have
been telling bout the new method of
whipping men which hes just been in-
troduced experimentally into some of
the penitentieries and eolonies of

Pleapiag name of "The Flectrio Cat,"
and l'Electricien expresses the mien -
tine opinion that it ia a great im-
provement upon the Russian kettle, and
the cat ce mine tails, which it says
still unfortunately figure in inany
Penel colonies and in the penitenti-
aries of so-called civilized Stites."
The method if this new whipping

like. The etelprit who hes been sen-
tenced to undengo the lash is tied to
a, post in the usual manner. Behind
him is a wheel, driven by an eleetrio
motor, which 'goes round and round
with a velocity that is unpleasant Mr
