"While in Pavia, Pesaro and Turin, I did not let a day pass without mak- ing additions of heads of eriminal or insane persons who died ia prison or these expeditions there first dawned upon me the new idea of criminal anthropology. While making the autopsy on a Calabrium brigand in the jail at Pavia, I found that led me to form my hypothesis of the born criminal and his phenomena, mental and bodily.

"The second conclusive fact was found by Roncoroni, who proved, by riscrosopic = examination of the main covering of cpileptics and criminals, a matérial texture was the same--similiar also to that of the in- ferior vertebrates and birds of prey. Not only does this wonderful mu- seum contain the skulls and skeletons of hundreds of criminals--and some of them had attained international repu- tations by their careers of lawlessness ut many interesting implements of the criminal trade as well. A Collection Of Daggers. In a glass case is a collection of daggers that were used by noted mur- derers. and brigands. "They carry evi dence of their intended use in the brutal inscriptions on many of them, remarks the collector. 'For instante, here is one inscribed: ' 'If the hands tremble not, the blow will reach home.' 'Death to spies' is the uncom- promising lettering of another. "Hanging above these deadly wea- pons are a number of heavy chains, which at one time were used to load the arms and legs of dangerous char- acters in Italian prisons. Juxtaposi- tion of these relics indicates that if criminals are feroici inst soci- la 2 ve y * te BAYS, "con- i with those of the criminals, idiots, epileptics and in- .

MUCH ESTEEMED. Ellen Terry is Much Beloved in London. "Miss Ellen Terry is a figure which adds picturesqueness to the streets of Chelsea, and her comings and goings from the little house along xings road these last few days have taken an additional interest," writes a London correspondent. 'There is al- ways a little knot' of sightseers to watch the popular actress' departure from the theatre, .and Miss Terry has lived in a whirl of receptions and ova- tions during the last few weeks. Her house in Chelsea is an unpretentious, roomy, and old-fashioned ; building, standing ; back from an interesting thoroughfare, which up to the present has not been profaned by the motor bus. Hard by is the most character istic of all Chelsea byways, Church street, where Sweet Nell of Old Drury occupied a cottage, which is still standing. A few yards farther up the King's road is Brammerton street, at the corner of which Charles Keene, the Punch artist, had roows. Chelsea, indeed, has many theatrical associa- tions. Within a few doors of Ellen Terry's © house live descendants of Buckstone, the actor. "When I happened to pass by Drury Lane about three o'clock the day be- fore the famous matinee there was a little group of thirty enthusiastic fe- ety, society is no less determined in dealing with them, . J Cruelty combined with hypocrisy is shown in a singular crucifix that oc- cupies a prominent place. It is well and seems to infer that its pos- sessor was a man of peace. Upon a slight examination, however, one dis- covers that the sacred symbol is sep- arable and contajns * a sharp-edged dagyer intended for no pious purpose. "Most interesting to -me is the col- lection 'of pottery 'or ceramics, from the hands of moted criminals, says Lombroso. "For twenty years physi- cians to the inmates of Turin prison, I was able to get together a great number of vases, jugs, and other things that geniuses among the pris- oners had decorated. "In my book on "The Delinquent Man,' I noted the case of one Fusil, who after killino a comrade, to rob him, had thrown the body into a closet and fled. "Arrested, he resolved to kill him- sell on the hundredth day of his im- prisonment. But before that he wished to raise up a monument to his orime, and suicide, "This he did by decorating a jug that was allowed him in his cell. one side of the jug he pictured himself as hanging from his cell win- dow, and under the picture inscribed his name. On the other side was writ- ten ! 'Last spree, and '100 days of jail' Close by he figured his victim thrust in the = doset where 'the body was found. Beneath it was the ironic- al statement ; 'Good-bye, Gambier, vou thief 1" "On another vase may be read : 'Here reposes poor Tuine, who, being tired of robbing in this world, has gone to steal in the other," which proves the imcorrigibility of the born criminal. 'Still another savs: 'I am Innocent, even if I did kill a man. There are still too many of them in the world." "Upon a fourth vase 5 thief is shown drinking with a traveller, whom he afterward wounds and robs, A resulting in his occupancy of a cell. "Sometimes the genius of criminals expresses itself in rude statuary, made of bread crumbs or chalk.

One or two seemed to be counting on their bro- thers and other male friends relieving them for a few hours while they re- tired for a rest; but I rather have my doubts of the optimism of the fair sitters in thinking that they would be able to get back through the crowd, which by that time should have as- sumed gigantic proportions. At three o'clock the biggest crowd was the one which was watching them. It was do- ing its best to encourage them with sundry specimens of cockney humor, which is not of the most subtle order. "I found Ellen Terry very tired but very happy thé morning after her great exertions. She was surrounded with heaps of messages of congratu- lation from friends all over the world. The great actress is largely un- der the vigilant eye of a privileged serving woman, older than the actress herself, and with so many years of intimate association with Migs Terry that she has developed a proprietorial or maternal control of her charge. No one follows Miss Terry's career more closely, and, while she may allow for the genius of the actress, she does not allow the glamour to obseure the Practical side of life. Perhaps much of Ellen Terry's success ig due to the care manifested by this domestic tyr- ant. Artists off the stage are great talkers, and the talk often makes great inroads into the night or morn- ing, "Many of Ellen Terry's friends gath- ered round her hospitable hearth have been surprised to see the faithful re- tainer annomnce the time with a man- ner which plainly suggested that the actress should he thinking of sleep, and have been much more surprised to find that the imperious lady who: has held the hearts of playgoers so long has obeyed the eall almost ag implie- itly as a child.

What we particularly should like is to form a new British colony, and with those Jews from Russia, we would take an undeveloped piece of the Bri- few inhabitants, and work it up in a few years in a way which it would not otherwise be worked up in a century. We would then be a guard of empire in some remote part of the world, be cause the people would be attached by ties of gratitude to the British em- pire for her protection." They would form one of the most potent races on earth, and 'the bargain, I think, would be mutually advantageous. "Our 'idea for the - migration of the Jews from Russia has had a better chance during the last few weeks, be- cause they have been fearing mas- sacres in many 'towns. So far from any Jew doing anything to produce the massacres, as the official versions say, they have been living in fear and trembling of the excesses breaking out, and therefore would have been only too much on their guard not to do anything which could lead to an outbreak. Had the Jewish Territorial Organization been joined by certain influential Jews in this country when it was started ten months ago, Wwe should by this tie have had a ter- rilory to offer to the Russian Jews. "We hold that the collection of sums in charity, although, of course, a very, necessary work, is no real way to grapple with such 'a terrible problem. A sum of three-quarters of a million was collected for the Jews in Russia onthe occasion of the last massacres, and that amount would practically have laid 'the foundations of a Jewish territorial scheme. You do nothing to prevent a massacre, occuring again, It is a sort of competition between the Russian hooligans Mmassacring "I think the present massacres will Jew in England to join the territorial scheme.
