CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THB JEWS.
They Have Lower Death Rate and
Greater Longevity,

They Have Lower Death Rate and
Greater Longevity
From the January North AmericGn Reuieto.
We cannot yet see the full bearing of
many of the results obtained by the tabula-
tion of the data relating to these Jewish
families because the data collected by the
eleventh census relating to persons Of Irish,
German, French, Italian, or Scandinavian
descent residing in the United States have
not yet been compiled into corresponding
tables, and are not available for comparison.
1t is, however, evident that these Jews have
much lower delth-rate and decidedly
greater longevity than the rest of our peo-
pie, and that their marriage and birrh-rates
are below the average. 1t also seems prob
able that they possess a partial immunity
from and special liability to certain forms
OF disease; that with prolonged residence in
the United States their death-rateis increas-
ing; and that their natural increase is some
what greater in the south than it is III the
north. The data are not sufficient in number
or In probable accuracy to warrant more
than the statement that it is rather more
than an even chance that these last conclu-
sions are correct, but they certainly give
rise to questions which merit extended and
careful investigation. The great majority
of the peculiarities in these vital statistics
appear to be connected with the occupa-
tions, social relations, and mode Of life of
the people rather than with special race
characteristics, and they will, therefore,
tend to disappear 50 far as the Jews mode
OF life becomes assimilated to that of their
neighbors. In Europe the Jews have been
kept apart from other races, partly by relig-
1ous and other ties acting from within, aid
partly by compressive persecution acting
from without In this country both of
these causes of segregation, and of conse-
quent hereditary transmission of physio-
logical peculiarities, are becoming weaker
the latter much more So than the former.

THE METHODIST CHURCH

years ago. The aisles were dusty
and there was not the faintest sign
of water anywhere in the vicinity.
William explained to us that the rea-
son it was called theMethodist church
was because it was too dry for the
Baptists =
He was talking away explaining
the geological formations of the Cave
when some one espied an empty quart

"Oh that's quarts formation" was
the quick and ready reply.

University Extension.

The faculty ofthe State University
are maturing plan of University
extension work, which if carried out
successfully must be of great benefit
to the people of the State and to the
University. 1t has not been made
public, but includes, according to the
information of the New DOMINION, a
series of lectures by the professors
of the institution on subjects upon
which each is hest fitted to speak. to
be delivered in the towns throughout
the State where they may he request
ed, the cost of the lectures to be small
enough to be within the reach of all,
and sufficiently plain and practical
to be interesting to popular audi
ences.
The many and varied advantages
of this system to the people and to
the University are manifest, at once,
and higher education could be thus
brought almost into the homes of the
people. Geology, English, Litera-
ture, Philosophy, Biology, Hygiene
and Physiology, Law, &C., all of these
important subjects the people could
be given fair practical knowledge
of, through the proposed series of
popular lectures.
The greatest advantage would
probably be that gained by the Uni
versity itself creating among the
people thirst for higher education,
and in the vast and valuable ad-
vertising that institution would re-
ceive
BY all means let the active and
progressive men Of the University
perfect their plans and carry it out.

Special corr. of the New DOMINION:
MAMMOTH CAVE, KY, Oct. 19.-The
far famed Mammoth Cave has been
well called one of the wonders of the
world. 1t is truly Mammoth af-
fair, and has been "run into the
ground"-for one hundred and fifty
miles-that is there have been that
many miles oft explored and plated,
but there are galleries and openings
leading still farther on to an indefn-
tie distance which are not down in
the route. However the regular route
of tourist travel there includes only
about 26 miles, one of Is miles call
ed the long route the other Of s miles
called the short one
After an early and excellent din
ner at the Cave hotel the party star
ted at IL o'clock to do the long route,
the men all carrying lighted lanterns
the ladies stout canes. The latter
usually dress for the trip in short
bloomer costume, blouse waist and
fez cap, furnished by the hotel at a
small charge, as some parts of the
Cave are damaging to elaborate toll
cites. The procession WAS headed by
William Garvln, a very intelligent
colored man who has acted As guide
for period of 30 years. He made
his 10320th trip with us and has
travelled upward Of three hundred
thousand miles through the wierd re
eesses OF the mighty cavern.
This subterranean palace is 80 miles
from Louisville, in Edmonson county,
and was discovered by "A hunter in
1909 who was pursuing wounded
bear which took refuge there. We
followed the guide aloAg hroai
graveled drive way running through
the hotel grounds to locked gate
which opens out upon wtf,l rocky
road running down II steep declivity
for few hundred yards. A sudden
turn to the right reveals a yasping
gulf of blackness in the mountain
side far below you. This is

out by silvery threads of trickling water
is soft as the polished cheek of chisel-
led statue. There are no sharp angles
or rough corners, but all is satin smooth
and daintily rounded
The walls are draped with three stall
agmitic curtains. The Bottomless Pit
from dome to floor is $50 feet. The
bridge across it is renewed every four
years so dangerous is it deemed AT
the Grand Crossing, four avenues seem
to meet but it is really caused by the
breaking in Of one of the crusts Of an upper
level where it crosses the lower one.
There are FIVE levels in the cave and the
river is probably cutting others still low
er down. 1t sometimes rises GO feet and
floods levels which have long been dry.
The Shakespeare Dome is long cor
rider of splendid proportions arched over
with white rock. 1t is so called because
up near the cernice is a depression in
the stone containing a medallion in alto
reieiro said TO resemble the great drama
fist. Bengal lights were burned here and
the great groined arches beyond illumi-
mated. In the Grand Rotunda huge but
tresses OF rock, like tireless Titans buoy
up the splendid canopy of creamy stone
that arches il over in splendid circle
500 feet in extent.
There are naves and TRANSCRIPTS, OPEN
ing out their dim cathedral aisles like
mighty minister's and leading into mys-
FERROUS regions beyond but we have only
time for one more and that is the love-
liest of all, although but an illusion
We are here directed to stop while the
guide takes the lights and moves on d.
recting us to keep our eyes fixed in the
direction of long dim gallery two or
three hundred yards away. Sudden
ly an angel of light seems to spring into
space and there stands what is known as
the
STATUE OF MARTHA WASHINGTON.
The illusion is perfect, the majestic pro-
portions apparently draped in floating
mantle of lace and radiant with the
cleaning wilderness of marble, but
there's nothing in it," Alas that
anything so lovely should have no ex-
istence. The peculiar curves OF the dark
end of the gallery give the outlines to
the apparent statue andWilliam's Bengal
lights do the balance. We could not
realize that there was not really some
cleaning, luminous, tangible body keep
ing there its eternal vigil, till we saw
Williams stalwart form stalk through
the beautiful Elusive creation, then as
the lights faded it dissolved like the
baseless fabric OF vision" and Martha
was no more. Those eight miles were
made in three hours or little over and
we are back in time for dinner at this
quaint old southern summer resort. II

of it built of logs in 1872, with dozens of
huge stone chimneys and great open fire
places, one Of which has crane and a
huge kettle bubbling over the blazing
logs. MAY.

men far gone with consumption to
come here in 1843 in hope of shaking
off the relentless grasp Of the dread
disease with which they were afiiic-
ted. We paused to examine the two
huts still remaining which are all
that are now left of the II that were
erected for the occupancy of this
gruesome colony.
They are built of the Cave lime
stone laid in white cement and we're
l2xl5 and 15x20 without roofs or
windows there being neither rain to
keep out nor light to let in. Here
for five long months they lived with
out sight of sun, song of birds, or
sigh of zephyr. How spectral and
ghostly must have looked that pallid
procession as they wandered to and
fro amid those dismal regions hoping
against hope and trying to cheer
each other and reanimate themselves.
They must have seemed to each 9th
er like disembodied spirits already
haunting the pale realms of shades.
They attempted to grow flowers and
foliage but the plants siekened for
sunlight and refused to reward their
toll. That should have warned the
poor deluded creatures but they staid
Oh till one of the number died. then
the last strand in the thread of hope
was cut and they FASTENED to the
onter world to die. Three breathed
their last before reaching the hotel
only few hundred yards from the
exit and in 4S
HOURS THE LAST MAN HAD JOINED THE
SILENT MAJORITY.
The huts or Deserted Chambers as
they are known stand only short
distance from the Giants Coffin which
must have been mournfully sugges-
tive to the poor invalids. One could
not conclude that the site of this
singular sanitarium had been chosen
on account of the cheerfulness of its
surroundings.

, We asked the guide concerning
the celebrities he had conducted and
he pointed out where Edwin Booth
had recited Hamlet from lofty emf
nence and showed us a beautiful
stalactite formation called the Arm
Chair in which Jenny Lind sat down
and sang. Bayard Taylor visited
the Cave several times and wrote
beautifully concerning it. William
informed us he had conducted Grand
Duke Alexis and Dom Pedro, ex-em-
peror of Brazil, sand good many
English Lords too, but they don't
count said he.
On our left was pointed out cur
ious shelf Of rock high up, which was
the entrance to the famous Cork
screw. ] Immediately determined I'd
steer clear Of that particular Cork
screw for the reason that / had met
lady at the junction Hotel who had
been obliged to leave her party and
lie over for repairs on account of the
terrible exertion and fatigue she
had endured in climbing round and
round that formidable formation. but
| reckoned without my host as will
appear later on.
A hundred yards or so beyond the
Giants Coffin the Cave turns upon
itself at an acute angle and sweeps
round in a magnificent amphitheatre
on the right
Here at the apex of the acute an
gle stands monument to General
Mcpherson of rude stones dropped
by the hands of passing friends in
the years since the war.
In the Grand Archway we are
halted to listen to the tick took OF

their ceaseless persistence carve out
