MARK TWAIN IN JAIL.
It Was at Pretoria and He Was Mighty
Welcome.

Julian Ralph in New York Journal.
Before the reform prisoners were liber-
ated from the Pretoria jail Mark Twain
visited them and fed them with humor
by the buck stful. While they crowded
around him eager for chance to laugh
one newspaper man in limbo. Being a
journalist himself he knew the talent of
the craft for keeping out of Jail.
He said he WAS not bit surpr ised to
find the legal fraternity largely and in
fiuentially represented in the Jail. He
said it had been the dream of his life to
got into Jail, but misfortune logged his
footsteps. Whenever he had committed
anything it always happened that no
witnesses We're around, and he never had
sufficient reputation for yeraoity to get
himself convicted without corroboratiye
evidence.
Thore was no place on earth where a
man could get such uninterrupted quiet
as in jail. He proposed to make con-
tract with the prisoners to stay in and let
them all go, and thus could kill two
birds with one stone-act as hosta ye for
them and write his book in peace. "Pil-
grim ErOSIoSs never Woulu nave Deen
written If Bunyan had not been in jail
and Ceryantes was privileged to suffer in
durance vile and thus was enabled to
write tDon Quixote.' These two
roamed about on he>wings of imagina-
tion describing perils and enjoying the
Intoxicating delights of war without
personal danger. They simply superin-
tended.
Twain told the prisoners that the in
sidious charms Of jail would increase the
longer they remained in Jail. He felt
this SO strongly that he meant to ask
COON Paul. to extend their sentences.

VERY OLD PEOPLE.
The European Census Takers Discovered
Them.
(New York Sun.

A German statistician has studied the
census returns of Europe to learn few
things about the centenarians OF the Old
World. He has found, for instance, that
high civilization does not favor the great
est length of life. The German empire.
with So, 600, 600 population, has but rs
subjects who are more than 100 years old.
France. with fewer than 40. COO, 600 has
213 persons who have passed their han
dredth birthdays. England has 146, Ire
land IS. Scotland 46, Denmark 2, Belgium
5, Sweden 10 and Norway with 1900, 600
Inhabitants, 80. Switzerland does not
boast single centenarian, but Spain,
with about IS, 600. 600 population, has 4O1
The most amazing figures found by the
German statistician came from that
troublesome and turbulent region known
as the Balkan Peninsula. Servia has $50
persons who are more than 100 years old
Roumania 1904, and Bulgaria g. SS3. In
other words, Bulgaria has lcentenaran
to every LOCO Inhabitants, and thus
holds the international record for old in
habitants In 1892 alone. there died i'll
Bulgaria $50 persons ofssmore than 100
years. In the Balkan Peninsula, moro
over, a person is not Regarded as on the
verge Of the grave the moment he be-
comes a centeparian. For instance, in
Servia there were in 1890 some 200 per-
sons between 106 and lis Yeas, 1913 be-
tween 115 and 1875, and between 1925 and
35. Three W ere bewteen 135 and 40.
Who is the Oldest person in the world?
The German statistician does not credit
the recent story about Russian 100
years old. Russia has no census, he says,
and except in cases of special official in
yestigation the figures Of ages in Russia
must be mistrusted. The Oldest man in
the world is then, in his opinion. Bruno
Ootrlm, negro born in Africa and now
resident in Rio Jsneiro. Cotrim is $50
years OLD. Next to him comes prohably
retired Moscow cabman named Kus-
trim, who is in his l40th year. The sta
tistioian says the Oldest woman in the
world Is l3o years old, but negleets to
give her name or address. possibly out
of courtesy. or perhaps in view of the
extraordinary figures which came to his
hand from ,1 the balkans be thought sub
ject only $50 years old was hardly worthy
of particulars.
