WHAT SHALL BE DONE ABOUT THEM?
Periodically the cjuestii ;i "i taking measures for the

thing can be said to exist, is not creditable to i ur i intnoi
is a recognized fact thai many oj oifr crimes and antonji
most atrocious, are committed by mental defective
known t" be defective before they "break lse, r
tn be so after the damage i done. Whj do we ; L'rtnit th
tunates to lie at large, a constant menace to the i
h rrifying crimes as a rule are committed h r lm
"mind diseased.' irtually every small town has its n i r
pie." The records of oiir tourts and ubl i - itutions
are everywhere, and noi onlv 1" we fail to keep them mnli
liance but we allow them to multiply their kind
t present there IS nopn tection t'l society, worthy ol the name.
againM these unfortunates. If an "i'trage or even a murder is com
mitted by one "i these, that particular one (when it is u late) is
taken care of after a fashion, but others known to e e uall detec
tive are allowed an unrestricted freed' in. it is not comm n sense,
nor is it fair to the unfortunate nor to his people. A known mental
defective should be placed beyond the possibility of doing harm and
where he can receive such treatment a may possibly help and per
haps in some rare instances cure his malady.
1 The latest attention alqng tins line of any importance is now lie
iug given in ( "iik county at the instance of State's Attorney ( rowe
and he certainly deserves commendation for taking it up for serious
attention. The recommendations resulting from the conference,
which included such experts on defectives as hief Justice Hson and
Dr. Hickson and experienced officials like Mr, Crowe. Chief Fitz
rrtorris, Deputy Aleck. I 'anile Agenl Reed, are practical and we
trust will be realized. They are for a farm for the isi lation of crim
inal defectives, for regulations denying parole to persons found de
fective, and tot provision for the psychopathic examination of per
sons arrested for crime.
This ci rtimission is practically silent on the defectives in gener
al who have shi wn no criminal tendencies ta-- yet I but it i- a crass
which needs attention, and will doubtless be taken care of when the
more important criminal defectives are provided for.
Ottawa is now in a state of niore or less excitement over the
work; id an incendiary and a Jack-the-Peeper." W hen these indi
viduals are finally "run down" it is a ten t" one shot that be or the
will be found to be nifsntallydefective. And yet a number of well
known irresponsililcs ur "simples" are on the streets even dav, ab
solutely without surveilhance of any kind. Is this common sense?
Shall no attention he paid them until they have committed some
crime ?

UNMEASUREABLE TIME AND SPACE.
Astronomers are still dabbling in figures of gigantic propor
tions. N'ot long ago they gave to the world the statement that by a
process ot stellar-measurements the size oi a star, niw itrninmentlv
than
visible m trie evenings, was tuenn seven millions turn
our sun. Previously they had measured the sun and found that lu
minary to be I(, times larger than the earth. Vccordine to
those figures that gigantic star. Betelgeuze, is something like nine
trillions times larger than this little sphere thai we call the earth.
Such figures are practically incomprehensible to the ordinary mind,
requiring an object lesson to illustrate them. Here is something
which might reduce the fact to ordinary understanding. Take the
smallest size shot on the market, the ordinary bird shot. It requires
something like twelve thousand of these to make a pound. Lettms
one of these little pellets, scarcely larger than a pin head, represent
the earth, it would require nearly twenty-eighl pounds of them to
represent the sun. But the star Betelgeuze, many millions times
1 ...1.1 . . 1 , . ,
iturgci man ine sun, would ue represented liv three lm
enty-five thousand tons as compare.! with the earth
comparison is almost beyond understanding unless tht
duced to car or ship loads. Time and space seems V st
'Then again the astronomers tell of that nebula,
