Commissioner of Works to Prevent the Destruction or Sale of Relics Will Thwart the Collectors of Ancient Edifices. London. The session of parliament which recently closed enacted one law which meets with universal approval. It is called tho "ancient monuments act," and tho credit for its paBsago is due to Lord Beauchamp. In the future, says the Times, thero Is no reason why such a building at Taltershall castlo should bo despoiled if tho first commissioner of works, with whom rests tho power of putting tho now law in motion, acts with en ergy and promptitude A Biniple order of tho commissioners of works will make any injury of such a place an of fense; tlmo will then be given for de liberation on the future of the buijd ing, and its fato will in the last resort lie determined by parliament. The lato Lord Avebury led the way in bringing tho subject to the notice of parliament, and in 1882 Mr. Shaw Lefevro (now Lord Eversley), as Ilrst commissioner of works in Mr. Glad stone's government, passed tho first ancient monuments act. It extended only to monolithic and other prehis toric remains, and was purely permis sive in its character. The owner of 'such a monument might place It In tho guardianship of the commissioner of works, and it then became an of fense on tho part of anyono (including the owner) to injure or deface tho monument. In 1900 theso provisions were extended to any "structure, erec tion or monument of historic or archi tectural Interest," with the exception of a structure occupied (otherwise than for caretaklng) as a dwelling house, but tho application of the act still depended upon the consent of the owners of monuments. Lately tho specter of tho wealthy American prepared to give fabulous sums for tho power to tear down a ruin and transport it across tho Atlan tic has been conjured up in order to raise tho market for ancient monu ments, and a much more serious risk has arisen in tho shape of persons dealing in valuable fittings and mov nblo details of old buildings. For tho purposo of thiB trado tho structure is bought, and the artistic work that it contains is torn out and sold for use in modern buildings. It is obvious, says tho Times, that In relation to such trafllc tho mere scheduling of monuments or any other arrangement devoid of such machinery for arresting destruction merely at tracts tho destroyer. Henco the ex istence of tho royal commissions, which have been at work for tho last flvo years examining and scheduling tho places of historic Interest In Eng land, Scotland and Wales, and which have already made valuablo reports, Is an additional reason for protective leg islation. At tho Eamc tlmo the com missions form a nucleus for an author itative advisory body to sharo with tho commissioners of works tho re sponsibility of restrictive action. These considerations havo been in the minds of the framers of tho new net, which not only amends but con solidates the existing law. In tho first place, it authorizes tho purchaso of monuments either by tho commission ers of works or by the council of any county or borough, or tho common council of tho city of London, but such a purchaso can be carried out only by agreement with tho owner. The gift or devise of a monument to tho snmo bodies is also authorized Tho alternative machinery of guard ianship is then provided, as In tho existing acts, and tho effect of guard ianship la explained. By constituting tho commissioners of works or the local authority guard ians of his monument the owner does not divert himself of any right of proporty except that of destruction, activo or paoslvo; In other words, tho miardlans of the monument may re BUILDINGS strain tho owner from injuring it, and may, concurrently with tho owner, do any work necessary to maintain and protect it. So far the act follows on previous lines, and can only be applied with tho consent of the owner. On this stem is grafted the compulsory machinery of tho act. An ancient monuments board, representative of the threo his toric monument' commissions, the so cieties of" antiquaries of London and Scotland, and other artistic bodies, Is to be constituted by the commission ers of works, and on their report that any monument is in danger of destruc tion, removal or damage, and that the preparation of tho monument Is of na tional importance, the commissioners may make a preservation order, plac ing tho monument under their protec tion, and while such an order Is In force the monument can not be demol ished, removed, added to or altered without tho consent of tho commis sioners. BECOMES 'CONVICT' TO STUDY Head of New York Reform Commis sion Loses Mustache During Ex periment at Auburn. Auburn, N. Y. Thomas Mott Os borne, chairman of the state commis sion on prison reform, entered Auburn prison to servo a short term, self-imposed, for tho purposo of studying tho effect of tho prison system on the men tal and physical condition of a man. Ho was nsalgned to the "Idle gang," has n cellMn tho south wing and will live the Hfjb of a convict In every de tail while in prison Ills mustache Thomac Mott Osborne. was shaved off, but his hair, normally cropped closely, was not touched. He wears a convict's uniform. Tho pri mary purpose of Mr. Osborne Is to as certain tho psychological effect of pris on confinement upon- a man. Mr Os borne outlined his purpose to thq con victs and justified It In this statement: "I have the feeling that after 1 have really lived among you, inarched In your lines, shared your food, gone to tho same stono cells at night and in tho morning looked at God's sunlight through thoBe same Iron bars that then, and not until then, can I feel the knowledgo which will break down tho barriers between my soul and the souls of my brothers. "1 expect to servo my sentenco this week at hard labor and am coming to livo Hko one of you, to bo housed, clothed, fed and disciplined Ilka one of you." Mr. Osborno was asked If he would accept dungeon punishment If ho broke a rulo and replied that ho ex pected no consideration If ho was guilty of any infraction. Declared Dead by Court; Returns.

What Can Be Accomplished by, the Use of Substance Obtained From Animals Views of an Eminent British Dental Authority. New York. More Important that all tho dentists and their new filllngu and methods is tho mystery of wuj teeth decay. An eminent British den tnl authority bellevetj that a certain ductless gland in the neck, kuown as tlo "thyroid," lurgely controls the destiny of our chewing npparntus Ot course, no one doubts that cleaning tho mout, selecting proper food and general care of the health aid In keep ing tho teeth sound, and lack of these things contributes to thoir breaking down. But theso are not tho only causes nor tho main ones. In spite of neglect and ignorance, some people havo absolutely no trou bio with their teeth, while others brush and clean and yet spend small fortunes with the dentist. "A polished tooth never decays," they say, and this Ib probably true, but it is equal ly true that nobody can keep overy portion of every tooth polished all the time. "Tho lungs and tho liver and tho heart and other organs are supposed to take caro of themselves without oiio'b personal attention," says this doctor. "That la nature's business. If nature does not attend to her busi ness, wo ought not to be perpetually dusting and sweoping nnd cleaning up aftor her, as If sho wero a careless housemaid, but should call her to 'ac count. "Good health was early recognized as one of the foundations for good teeth. But many cases of 'cxcelleut general health show poor teeth, so wc must conclude that there aro various kinds of good health, some which In clude good teeth and some which do not. AIbo many patients of very feeble constitution for some reason havo no need of the 'dentist." Among all tho varying cauBcs o( health and dlseaso 1b found ouo con stant factor. When there is troublo with the thyroid gland there 1b trouble with the teeth. All over the body, In nooks and corners, aro found all cortB nnd sizes of glands. Some of thci30 aro well understood, such as those that se crete ballva for the mouth or tears for the eye. Theso havo outlets called "ducts," which supply their products where they are needed. Thero aro also other kinds of glands which have no outlet. Theso aro called the "duct less glands," and whatever they se crete goes right Into tho blood itself The thyroid is a blind, ductlcbs gland It Is In tho neck, and when enlarged causes the" disease known as "goiter ' Tho thyroid ''oes several wonderful things for tho body of which we know, and doubtless several others unknown. Tho entlro process of growth and dovelopment of a body Into a full grown adult depends on this small body hidden away behind our mouth. When a baby Is born without an adequate thyroid It becomes what la known as a "cretin." The cretin Is not llkoly to be more than four feet tall, probably less. His intellect hard ly progresses nt all, often remaining so childish that ho Is absolutely de pendent on others nil his Ufa. The cretin IIvcb a dull, vegetable-llko ex Istonce and takes note of very little that goes on around him. Cotton Mattresses Barred at Vacsar. Poughkeepsle, N Y.
