May it Please Your Excellency : I have the honour to submit herewith, for the information of Your Excellency, the Annual Report of the Inspector of Penitentiaries for the year ended June 30, 1900. In doing so I beg leave to submit also a few observations upon the operation of the Act for the conditional liberation of penitentiary convicts, 62-63 Victoria, cap. 49) and the Act extending the same privilege to convicts in jails and other prisons, 63-64 Victoria, cap. 48, which are commonly known as the Ticket-of-leave Acts. The first mentioned Act was assented to on August 11, 1899, but as the measure was an entirely new one so far as Canada was concerned, it was not deemed expedient to issue any tickets-of-leave or licenses under its provisions until regulations should have been framed, laying down the principles which should goveim the disposal of applications for tickets-of-leave. None were issued until November, 1899, when after careful consideration of the regulations in force in the U nited Kingdom upon the subject, the conclusion was come to that, for the present at any rate, it would be wiser not to frame any regulations fettering the Minister of Justice in respect to the duty imposed upon him of advising the Governor General upon all matters connected with or affecting the administration of the Acts. Certain principles have, however, been observed in issuing these tickets-of-leave. Unless under very exceptional circumstances they are in all cases first is say, are as a rule granted to prisoners issued to offenders only ; that to they not who are serving their second term. In advising the issue of a ticket-of-leave, regard has also been had to the age of the convict, the nature of the crime and such circum- stances connected therewith as would enable the Minister to judge wjiether or not the case was one in which there existed a probability of relapse on the part of the convict. Information has also been obtained from the Warden of the penitentiary or prison, and from other available sources as to the applicant’s character and conduct. In short, the utmost care has been exercised to prevent the granting of these tickets-of-leave to those not found to be entitled to them on account of their antecedents or their conduct in prison, or both. It is, of course, too soon to speak with anything approaching absolute certainty as to the eventual results, beneficial or other, of these Acts, but I think the information in my possession warrants me in saying that so far their operation has been attended with very satisfactory results. The figures given in the statistical tables of the report of the Inspector of penitentiaries, come down to June 30, last only, a period of about seven months from the date of the issue of the first ticket-of-leave. But taking the results for one year, I find that in the year following November 24, 1899, the date of of the first ticket-of-leave issued, 145 tickets-of-leave were granted, of which 115 were issued to penitentiary convicts, the other thirty being issued to persons confined in jails and other public prisons. Of the total number, 145, four have been forfeited, as VI DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. 64 VICTORIA, A. 1901 provided by the Act, on account of the holder being convicted of an indictable offence, and one has been cancelled for breach of its conditions, making a total of five licenses revoked, a proportion of 3-45 per cent of the total number issued. This very small proportion of licenses forfeited and cancelled shows at least that the very great majority of the recipients of this favour were not unworthy of it. It leads one to hope that by administering the Act with proper caution the results in the future will be such as to fully justify its enactment. I have the honour to be, Your Excellency’s most obedient servant, DAVID MILLS, Minister of Justice.

Chapelle Curator of Transportation SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON, D.C. 1964 — Publications of the United States National Aiuseum The scholarly and scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series, Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series the Museum publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of its constituent museums—The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of Anthropology, Biology, History, Geology, and Technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries, to cultural and scientific organizations, and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers from the Museum of Natural History. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum of Natural History have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions Jrom the United States National Herbarium, and since 1959, in Bulletins titled "Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology," have been gathered shorter papers relating to the collections and research of that Museum.

C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

  • COVERED BRIDGES C. W. W. Elkin 1841 Charles Dickens Visited
    COVERED BRIDGES C. W. W. Elkin 1841 Charles Dickens visited America and when he returned to England he had some varied experiences to record, often in Ina critical way, of places and things he had seen in the United States. One such experience Iwish to cite here. "We crossed the river by a wooden bridge, roofed and covered on all sides, and nearly a mile in length. It was profoundly dark, perplexed with great beams, crossing and recrossing it at every possible angle ;and through the broad chinks and crevices in the floor, the rapid river gleamed, far down below, like a legion of eyes. We had no lamps; and as the horses stumbled and floundered through this place, toward the distant speck of dying light, it seemed interminable. Ireally could not at first persuade myself as we rumbled heavily on, filling the bridge with hollow noises, but what Iwas in a painful dream; for Ihad often dreamed of toiling through such places, and as often argued, even at the time, 'This cannot be reality'." 1 The bridge in question was one over the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg. After more than a century we can view with different eyes what the covered bridge has meant in the development of our country, practically as well as sentimentally. Bridges are more than just useful structures. They are the familiar and romantic landmarks of our countryside. The first question that naturally arises when the individual sees a covered bridge is: Why was the wooden bridge covered with a roof? Simply, one can answer by asking another question: Why is a roof put on a barn or a house?
