FItzsimmons' New Idea.

Mr.. Robert Fitzsimmons, who holos
the fstic championship of the world,
has applied for letters patent through
John wedderburn Il Co., Patent Attor-
neys, Washington, ID. c., for q Punch
ing Bag Platform which is very unique
and attractive. "Bob" intends using this
platform in his performances as 1t will
undou btadly be great addition to his
paraphernalia and add much to the gen.
ersl effect OF his exhibition.
In its general chs.acteristics, the punch
ing bag platform comprises two centrally
arranged circular frames or rings OF re-
sonsnt mater isl, which are placed one
above the other, and connected so as to
form q sounding board. The open center
of this sounding board contains u light
skeleton frame, having central head
from which is suspended the punching
bag, the susp EN- ding cord being OF
length which will cause the bag TO i'm
pinge against the lower surface OF the
soun ding board In whatever direction
the bag Is struck.
From the periphery OF this platform or
sounding DOnru eAtenus III outer skeleton
frame, consisting Of a series OF rsdisting
arms, having open centers and resem bl-
Ing the points OF a mammoth star. These
arms or y oints are connected at their ex-
tremiti,s to the upper ends OF standards
which support the 500 nding board At the
D roper elevation above the head OF the
operator. The arms are also furnished at
their outer enus with sockets 10 receive
the stats Of flags OF different nations,
O feature which affords a high degree of
ornsmentation ana renders the spparatus
very attractive to the eye. In addition 20
the advantageous points noted above, the
inner and outer skeleton frames admit sn
ample supply Of light beneath the sound
ing board or platform, and obviste dark
ening the operstin space, an objection
incident to the ordinary solid or close
platform at present in use. By means
OF the sounding board, the blows ot the
punching bog are maqnined and can
easily he heard In any part OF the theater.
The imrroved platform is quite y de-
psrture from those heretofore IN use aud
will no doubt attract a great deal OF ct
ten ion on account ot the beauty Of its
Design snd Its resonant qualities.

BIRTH RATE AND CIVILIZATION,

According to census returns among
the civilized nations a low birth rate
follows inevitably in the wake of civil
ization and, strange to say, in the
wake of moral degeneracy as we'll.
The decrease in the birth rate is a
problem that is troubling the French
mind just at present and to the many
intelligent and scientific men who have
evolved theories as to the cause, the
world is indebted for special statistics
of considerable. value.
writer in scientific journal of
Paris draws an interesting comparison
among the different states of the Am
erican Union and further shows that
next to France the United States has
the lowest birthrate For the whole
United States during the past two cen
turtles the birthrate was only 26.6S to
the thousand, while in France the.
rate is 22.5. In considering the differ
ent States of the Union, however, it is
shown that with a few exceptions the
Eastern section has low birthrate
and the South and West a much higher
rate. The States having the lowest
rate are Nevada, 1913; Maine, 1899;
New Hampshire. 1874; Vermont, 1S.5;
California, 1914; Connecticut, 21.3;
Massachusetts, 2f.3; Wyoming, 21-8;
Rhode Island, 22.4, and Oregon, 22.5.
Among the States mentioned having a
rate OF from 20.f 10 Sd are Mississippi,
Georgia, Alabama, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, South Carolina, Utah. Texas,
Arkansas and New Mexico. This con-
dition of affairs the Partisan writer
attributes TO the degree of civilization.
The Southern States are largely popu-
lated by negroes WIG in the remote
districts at least tend to revert to bar
barfsm. The poor whites Of the South
are also about on the same plane and
may be classes as peasants of simple
and patTiarchal customs" In these
States the percentage of illiteracy is
larger and wages are lower which may |
be taken as good evidence of back
