(Stratford Beacon) The convention of Chief Consta- bles, now in session at Montreal, has no sympathy with the sentimental “waddle that's so often heard in be- half of convicted and sentenced crim- inals. Inspector McKiney corieree admidst great applause: ‘We are be-; coming a nation of sympathetic apain: ers, sending flowers and loving mess- sink to condemned murderers. Wha need is a saner attitude towards| the eriasiatl class, and the soon people cease getting up petitions for! the commutation of sentences, the) better it will be for the smooth and/ effective working of the law. “This is common sense,” aptly comments! the Brantford Expositor, “and good citizens everywhere ought to frown upon all attemps of such people to interfere with the due processes of the law. After the country has spent thousands of dollars in establishing the guilt of a criminal, there are al- ways some sentimental sympathizers, ready -to undo the wor BUSINESS OF LIVING (Calgary Albertan.)

Facts About Animal That Is Pro- verbial for § Sleds, yachts, locomotives—every- thing nameable by means of which man has sought to attain speed— have frequently, and for many years, | borne the name antelope. This, too, {in our western world, where ante- lo are unknown and only th tra- ditions of thei arvellous swii ess prevails, The tradition, lly exaggerated the fact; necessary, as in the case ‘of s0 many -of our tek beliefs in regard to animals, to modify it in the growing light of science. On the contrury, science has just been applied to test owever, has scarce- it is not tradition—and the antelopes have | emerged triumphant. Mr. Roy Chapman Andrews, seck- ing specimens in Asia for the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History, made an automobile trip into the Desert of Gobi in Mongolia, where he encountered a large herd of ante- lopes. He was able, by means of his speedometer, to test their pace as he raced them in his car “There were one thousand ante- lopes,” he says, “in the first herd we saw. At a distance they looked ;Hke a yellow cloud against a hill. They had the habit, common to ante- lo the world over, of circling in front of the pursuer when chased. We just went as fast as We could go in our cars and then began to shoot. You soon get tired of such sport, for the antelope, with his circling habit, has no chance against an automo- bile. It was better sport to ascertain just how fast one of these animals ean run. “They ran so fast that we could not see their legs, any more than you can see the blades of an electric fan. We found they would leg it at sixty miles an hour for about two miles, and then slow down to forty or fifty. We chased an antelope one day for twenty minutes at an average -rate of forty miles an hour, and then he quit because he was so surprised that anything on earth could keep up with him. When we reached him he was squatting flat on the sand quietly Strange Relic Discorece’ Among ; Babylonian Remains.
