JURIES IN ENGLAND, They Get Through Their V.ork Quickly and With Little Fuss. The working of the British .jury sys tem exhibits a marked contrast with that of our own. It is possible thal my experience in British courts was ex (•optional, but in not n single instance did I see a juror challenged or reject ed. In all of the courts requiring ju ries ttie necessary number of men were present, and they were sworn in without question. In the sheriff's dep uty court in Scotland the presiding judge gave notice to the jury that he expected to adjourn the court at 2 o’clock and stated that if they could ail remain until that hour he would at once dismiss the men who had been called for a second panel. The jurors conferred together and decided to re main till 1 o’clock, whereupon the judge notified the other men to appear at 12:30. The one jury Impaneled for the morning session rendered six ver dicts in cases involving prosecutions for thefts, fraud and burglary. In the court of quarter sessions nt Taunton. England. 1 saw a single jury in one day render eleven verdicts. I found that it was customary in the several sorts of court that 1 attended for the same jury to act in successive eases. In no instance did I see a jury leave their seats to make up their ver diet, rstinliy the issue before tlp'in was made so plain that all who gave attention knew in advance what the decision would be. I made note of an exceptional instance of delay when the court was forced to wait nine minutes for the la port <>f the jury. In this case the judge who gave the instructions was himself in doubt as to what the verdh t ought to bo. A Scottish jury consists of fifteen persons, and a majority may render a verdict. Iti England the number i> twelve, and unanimity is required Hut I noted no difference as to praetica results in the two countries. The twelve men In the English jury were ns prompt and certain In their action as were the eight out of fifteen In the Scottish Jury.—McClure's Magazine. aboard a submarine. The Crew, the Work and the Kind of Life the Men Lead. Life aboard a submarine is not so unpleasant or dangerous as one might imagine, but it is entirely different from that led on other types of ships. The crew, usually consistl<fc of two officers and fourteen men. is selected from volunteers after a most rigid medical examination. Service rarely extends beyond a period of two years, and real work on a submarine is limit ATTENTION. We wish to call the attention of our readers to the endurance race soon to take place. As there will he more than -100 in the party and more than 100 automobiles, it would be well for those living in the territory of Jackson and Gwinnett to stay off the road for the short time consumed in passing, thus avoiding accidents and possibly loss of life. Notice of the day and time of the coming of the tourists will be given later- ed to about three weeks in the sum mer and one in tlie winter. During the remainder of -the time the men Jive on a “parent" ship or on shore. The boat is. however, put through the various evolutions once every week. The first impression on entering a submarine is one of heat, the air being rather close and heavy, but the men soon become accustomed fo it. Stand ing room space is about six and one half feet, and toward both ends the boat tapers away almost to a point. There are no portholes. The hatchway in the conning tower is the only aper ture. ruder water electric light is used There are ventilators, but when the boat dives they are shut off with a cap I.ife on board a submarine is essen tially ’in common." The way men nnd many objects are crammed to gether in a narrow space is almost miraculous Cooking is done in an electric oven, and no foods which have a strong or disagreeable smell are used. Of course smoking is allowed only when on the surface and then on the bridge. Ow ing to the character of the men select ed discipline is perfect. There is scarcely any noise in a sub marine when submerged The greatest depth tlie boat descends does not ex ceed thirty feet. At that depth her speed is about s knots. The air is quite “breathable" for four hours, but in case of emergency the crew can ro main closed.for seventy hours with out danger The men love the life. With the offi cers they are as one family, sharing everything equally, including the dan gers. which are not much to speak of. provided every one does his duty. When the weather is fair there is very little rolling In rough weather ihe men escape knocking about by holding on to “steadying lines."—New York Press. PUBLIC EXERCISES.
