began talking OF Professor Dewars extraordinary
experiment when ] ncautiously. after admiring the
skill and ingenuity displayed. said: But after all

person In the world he expected would ask such
question. and then said doubt 100 years ago.
when a put piece Of copper wire TO the legs

THE DEATH RATE IN THE TENEMENT-HousE
DISTRICTS
There some interesting facts stated In the re-
port which has been submitted to the BOARD Oh

vital statistics OF the Health Department. The re-
port is based upon the census taken last year ny
the sanitary police Dr. Tracy finds that the average
mortality is apparently less among the tenement
population than the for the entire city Ih's
statement is somewhat offset. however by the fact
that many persons die In hospitals whose homes are
unknown, but most likely In tenement dis-
trict.
To give an idea as to how crowded some portions
of the tenement district are. the report sets forth
that the population In the block bounded by Canal
Hester Eldrdgc and Foryth SITS. is l526 persons 10

SOCIETY,

A very unique and delightful enter
tainment was that given Monday alter
noon by Miss Eloise Forman at her
home on Pico street. to about 80 of her
young friends. The house was most
elaborately and artistically decorated
with handsome cut flowers. and in place
of the usual whist, or hearts, the after
noon was epent in contests OF various
kinds where the wits and ingenuity Of
the guests were called out. The first was
q penny contest" in which the greatest
number OF objects to be found on cop
per penny gained the first prize. 1t
was cut-glass vinaigrette mounted in
silver, and was won by Miss Kerckhof.
The second greatest number were dis
covered by Mics Mcclellan. who received
handsome bottle of psrfumery in
fancy basket; Miss Kilbourne, as con-
ISOLATION for finding the least number,
was presented with miniature flask,
containing perfumery.
The next battle OF wit was the effort
to discover the titles OF books from
various illustrations. devices and sig
ni6cant phraaes that we're placed on
view; and the successful contestants
were Miss Mcconnell, who received
illustrations OF the wild flowers of the
Pacific coast; Miss Van Dyke. who WAS
presented with q fine edition OF a recent
novel: and Miss Shorb. who won the
consolation prize, a matchbox in the
shape OF Q book. The last excitement
was a riddle contest for which two
