A DOCTORS CLOSE CALL.
Found in a Comatose State in Her
Compartments at Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, July 20-Dr Eliza
beth j. Palmer was found III a cuIna-
tOse state in her apartments this morn
ing, and it was at first thought that
the doctor had attempted suicide.
AS she failed to leave her apartments
at the usual hour this morning, a ser
want was sent to arouse her, but no
answer was received to repeated
knocks on her door. Entrance to the
room was effected through a window in
the hall, and the doctor was found on
the bed in an unconscious condition.
A towel saturated with chloroform was
lying across her face.
AS soon as she regained conscious
ness, DR.. Palmer stated that she had
not thought of taking her own life, and
ridiculed the idea of suicide. She said
that she had been in great pain all
of the night previous, and had placed
a cold compress of chloroform to her
aching side to alleviate her suffering.
By some means wholly unaccountable
to her the towel had been lifted to
her lips.
No serious results are looked for
from her nearly fatal experience.

So far as is known to me, the Ves-
pidae are all social species, the individ-
uals consisting of males, females and
neuters. They are also known as the
paper making" wasps, having the
habit of constructing paper nests Of
various sizes and forms in which their
young are reared. Our common brown
wasps Polistes) are too we'll known to
require any detailed description. To
those living anywhere in the Atlantic
States their paper nests are very IA
miliar, being formed of a circular disk
of a single tier of cells, being suspended
at the solid back by a median pedicle
attached to the point chosen by the
community to build. Usually these
cells face downward, but occasionally
the plane of the nest is vertical or
nearly so, causing the long axes of the
cells to lie horizontally, or more or less
obliquely. This grayish, papery stuff
used by the paper-making wasps is a
composition of their own manufacture.
In the case of the common wasp it is
made by the female (Vespa vulgaris).

MEXICAN TRADE.
No Reason Why It Should Not

LOS ANGELES, July 20.-Richard
Grid, founder of the Chino beet-sugar
factory, has just returned from an ex-
tended trip in Mexico, made with the
object of ascertaining the prospect of
securing for Southern California the
Mexican trade.
In an interview Mr.. Grid said: There
is no reason why Los Angeles cannot
secure the greater part of Mexican
trade. Everything is in her favor, and
if the Los Angeles merchants. will make
the right prices and put up the right
goods they will find Mexico is will
ing and ready to trade with California.
Heretofore the greater part of the trade
has been with German firms, but Of
late the goods have not been up to the
standard. They are now willing to
make whatever change will insure bet

AMERICANS ARE DYING OUT.
Births Are Fewer Than Deaths in
MANY States of the Union.

French economists are conSoling
themselves for the gradual depopula-
ton of their country by pointing out
that many of the American States, in
Guiding the whole of New England, are
still worse off. The birth rate in France
has fallen from 33 per 100 at the be-
ginning of the century to - per 1000,
and is less than the death rate, SO
that, if the present conditions contin-
ues, in about 200 years the French race
will have become extinct.
In many of the United States. how
ever, matters are even more serious.
The birth rate in Nevada is 1880 per
1000, SO that, even if no more people
should emigrate from that State it's
population would die out completely in
less than 100 years. Maine comes next
with a birth rate of 1879 per 1000,
which gives its race about a century
longer to exist. New Hampshire is
third, with 1874 per 1000; Vermont is
fourth, with 1875, and strange to say,
California, which comes next, has a
birth rate of 1914 per 1000, or nearly II
per cent. less than that of France
This fact, in view Of the favorable eli
mate, ample area and diversity of in
of the State, is most striking Follow
ing California is Connecticut, which
has birth rate of 21.3 per LOCO Mas
sachusetts has 21.5. Rhode Island has
225, a somewhat higher rate than the
French. but still insufficient to prevent
the extinction of the present race with
in two or three centuries. Wyoming, with
its 21.S, comes between Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island while Oregon has a
rate of 22.5.
In most of the States, even those
which have a low birth rate, the popu-
lation is kept up, or increases, but the
new blood comes from immigration.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
statistics compiled is simply that, with
in period varying from 60 to 200
years, according to circumstances, the
Anglo-Saxon race of inhabitants of
New England and the Pacific Coast
will be replaced by another.-Pitts-
