TAX cHILDLESS FATHERS.
Ono of the Plans Proposed for Increas-
ing Population In France.

Ono of the Plans Proposed for Iucreas-
ing Population In France.
A congress of French scientists and
economists, held for special purpose,
and that purpose rather curious one,
recently finished its labors in Paris
and adjourned. 1t endeavored to de-
termine by discussion the best methods
of increasing the number of children
in French families. The population
of France, as is well known, has been
nearly stationary for many decades
The last census showed that the num-
Der of deaths among Frenchmen
exceeded the births slightly, and but
for the children born to foreigners
domiciled or naturalized in France,
there would have been an actual
decrease in population The i'm
portance of the matter to the
nation is illustrated by fact
often reiterated in the congress
that the male births are twice
as numerous in Germany as they are
in France, and consequently that af-
ter few years the active army of
Germany may be twice as numerous
by the congress, however, and which
will be recommended TO tn. chamber
of deputies, is the matter of interest.
First, tax should be imposed upon
men having no children; second, that
the land tax should be diminished in
proportion to the number of children;
and third, that the parent should be
permitted to leave the bulk of his
property to one son, Under the exist
ing law in France, q product of the
revolution, the owner of land is com
PEELED to divide it equally among his
children. The result, long ago, was
minute division of the lands held by
peasant proprictors. The congress
evidently believed that the fear of
further division of the land into farms
too small to support a family operates
to keep the population of rural France
stationary.

Why is fish larger at the front end
than al the rear end of its body?
There is probably more than one cause
for this popularity of structure. but a
possible special reason has been sug-
gested by photogra phic study of the
motion of liquids disturbed by OBJ
stacles of various shapes. 1t has been
found in this way that when water
flows past an obstacle sha ped like
fish, no eddies are formed when the
blunt end of the object meets the cur
rent, while the water is greatly dis
turbed when the acute end Is pre-
sented toward the stream. SO it
would seem that the fish has al least
one good reason for being born with
its head on the blunt end of its body.

The death Watch"

The dreaded death watch" as it is
called, is small beetle which has a
very powerful joint in its neck, and
calls its mate by tapping with its head
on the wall or on any surface where it
may happen to he located. The noise
is similar to that which may be pro-
duced by tapping with the finger nails
on table. and the insect can fire.
quently be made to answer such taps.
Many country people call it the

1t Floated Though Designed to sink.

Admiral Tryon's dispatch box, which
was found floating after the Victoria
had foundered, was especially made to
contain the code of signals OF course
it was desired to keep this code a
secret, so, in order to provide against
the risks of accident, the box was
lined with lead and perforated with
many holes to insure itc at once sink
ing to the bottom of the sea if it hap
pened to come into the water. 1t
would be interesting TO learn who
were the designers of this box which,
being especially constructed to sink,
foated safely and is now at the
admiralty, most practical proof of
the fallibility of our experts.
