MAKE VALUABLE DISCOVERIES
Report Just Published of the Prince
ton GeOIOTicnI Expedition to
SOuth America,

The first report of the Princeton sec
ond geological expedition TO south
America has just been made known y
year ago Prof. Scott sent MesSrS.
Hatcher and Colburn to the unknown
regions of Patagonia to extend the eX-
pIoraticns begun by Messrs. Peterson
and Hatcher of former expedition.
The results obtained surpass the most
sanguine expectations of Prof. Scot;
and the geological department.
The expedition, the report says, eX-
plored the country inland and to the
northward for Il distance of SEQ miles
from the Straits of Magellan. adding
much to our knowledge of the geogra-
ply Of the country and discovering Al
the base Of the Andes beautiful lake
80 miles in length not previously re-
ported and which might aptly be called
Lake Princeton.
In the region of this lake. or about
midway between Lake Buenos Ayres
and the headwatcrs of the river Chico
or north fork of the Santa Cruz river u
new and exceedingly rich locality for
vertebrate fossils was discovered and
many new facts observed bearing upon
the geology of the country.
The explorers were successful in maxi
ing a complete section of the marine
tertiary deposits of this region and
making collections of fossils from
them. In these deposits hitherto en-
tirely unknown formation has been dis
covered. which will prove of the great
est importance in finding the age of GER
tain other beds, in regard to which
there has been much discussion among
biologists, Considerable time was
taken in the examination of animal life
and the collection of recent birds. En-
tensive collections of fresh water and
marine moIlusks and crustaceans were
secured, with very complete series OF
lizards and frogs.

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hopel

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
thi. dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might

to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made he
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid Of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancerpromptly returns, andis
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease
and can not he cured by the surgeon,

ON CHANGE
Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.--Today's market
for stocks suffered the burden of realizing
sales and from the bear pressure to the
recrudescence of the Cuban scare. There
were special elements of weakness in ad-
dition. The Union Pacific securities were
heavy on account of the announced deter
mination of the government to operate
the Union Pacific under a receivership and
to postpone the sale of that property.
Kansas Pacific consols opened off 81 per
cent on the strength Of this, but the buy
Ing at the decline was very heavy and
aggressive, and reassuring reports were
given out that this security was not likely
to be deprived of the right of exchange
with the reorganized Union Pacific secu-
rifles. This apparently failed to rally the
stocks of the company, and they. were
heavy all day, preferred going off at one
time 1ts and the common a point. A few
stocks were conspicuous for very vigorous
movements This was notably the case
with Metropolitan Street Railway, which
was at one time 81 above Saturdays close,
but which reacted 1ss. Norfolk and West

and advanced at one time 37s, reacting a
fraction on profit taking. Michigan Cen
trail also renewed its interrupted advance,
and is 1% higher for the day.
There were some sharp gains, also, In
the usually inactive high priced securi-
ties. The feverish and unsettled condi-
tion of the local corporations was notice
able in the closing dealings.
Although the stock market was not
lacking in activity and interest. the bond
department continued to absorb a large
share of attention and to show great
strength. There were some five separate
single transactions in blocks of par value
of 100000 or over. Three of these were
in the Atchison adjustment fours, the to-
tai dealings in which footed up for the
day $1,07 900. The recovery in Kansas Pa

Live Bear in the Pantry

Miss Maggie Bennett of Racquette
Lake, in the Adirondacks, had an excit-
ing experience one evening recently. Miss
Bennett resides with her brother, at the
Antlers, a popular summer hotel on the
shore of Racquette lake. One evening
about o'clock she heard noise in the
pantry, and supposing that one of the
dogs was making a raid on the larder
went to the door with lamp in her hand
and, without looking into the room, com
manded him to come forth. After a mo-
ment's hesitation, the command was
obeyed, and big black bear walked out
into the kitchen. Miss Bennett did no,
stop to reprimand his bearship for the
intrusion, but ran screaming from the
room, calling to her brother for assist.

and a gun at the same time and rushed

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG
Interesting Statistics Compiled by a
German Scientist

Persons who desire to live to a good
old age will do we'll to read an interest,"
ing work on the subject which has just
been issued by DR.. Schwartz Of Berlin.
The doctor has given much time to the
study of longevity, and the conclusions
at which he has arrived are based on
statistics which seem in all respects
reliable.
He begins with the bold statement
that any one who desires to live for
four score and ten years should get
married. In other words, he claims
that conjugal life is necessary condi-
ton of longevity. Here are the sta
tistics which support his statement:
OF 200 persons who had reached the age
of 40 years the doctor found that 1926
were married and rs unmarried. OF
70 men who had reached the age of go
years he found that 4S were married
and only % unmarried.
He next took 3S men, each Of whom
was in his 10th year, and he found that
27 were married and II unmarried.
Finally he took 12 men, each aged 80
years, and found that were married
and three unmarried. 1t may be
claimed that no sure conclusion can be
drawn from statistics of this nature,
for the reason that the institution of
marriage Is spread all over the world,
and hence it is natural to find the ma
jority of persons married. DR.. Schwartz
in reply again brings forward curious
statistics. The statistics show that the
mortality among bachelors between
the ages Of 30 and 45 is as high as 27
per cent, whereas among those who are
married 1t does not exceed 18 per cent.
"It is evident" says French writer,
who has closely studied DR.. Schwartz g
statistics, that we must acknowledge
the potency Of these figures, and that, if
we desire to live to good old age we
should get married as soon as possible.
We should certainly do SO If we wish to
live a full century, for DR.. Schwartz
cites the cases of SO centurians, not one
Of whom is bachelor. A curious fact,
too, is that these so centurians were all

DISTINGUISHING the Negroes

Louisiana is to follow the lead of Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina in restrict
ing the suffrage.
The constitutional convention soon to
be held in that state will probably re-
quire that all voters must be able to
read and write English or French, or, If
illiterate, must own and pay taxes on
5000 worth of property. This will admit
to the polls many illiterate whites.
A mere educational qualification, it is
estimated, would exclude 72 per cent of
the present negro vote and 20 per cent
of the white vote. The alternative quail
ification of 5000 worth Of property would
admit large part of the white vote
which the test of literacy would ex-
clude.
The white vote of the state Is now
about 125,0O0 and the negro vote about
120, 900. Under the operation of South
Cardinals new constitution, not more
than $1,000 of the 100000 former negro
voters in that state can vote.-Atlanta

NOT AFRAID OF A RAT
Near-Sighted Galveston Woman Not
Aware Of Her Own Courage

An amusing incident somewhat on the
order of the story of the ignorant man
who strikes a match in a powder mag
azine, is told by a leading society woman
of Galveston, Tex. The woman was
brave, although she was not aware of her
own courage. 1t seems that she, in
company with several other ladies called
on a mutual friend, who has bright
little 6-year-old, whom she wished tc
show off before her visitors. The pre-
cocious lad has leaning toward elo-
cution, and the fond mamma lost no
time in apprising her callers of his pow
ers in that direction. They of course
asked to hear some of his work and he
began reciting that characteristic sketch
of James Whitcomb Riley's entitled,
"Seein' Things"
Just as the boy reached the lines read
ing. "Im not afeerd of rats an mice an
. .hings at girls Is skeerd Of" an enormous
rat darted across the room toward a
convenient hole. The ladies, except
the one about whom the story is told,
screamed, jumped on chairs and tables,
gathered their skirts around them and
made every effort to convince everybody
interested that they had no desire to
form the acquaintance Of the rodent.
The other lady, who, by the way, is near
sighted, sat quietlysin her rocker with
a smile of appreciation on her face When
the excitement subsidized she calmly re-
marked that it was very good" much
to the mystification of her companions.
1t developed that she thought that the
boy had thrown a toy rat on the floor
and that his mother and the other callers
were assisting to make the performance
realistic. Nevertheless, she Is regarded

Cigarette Cases Especially for Womel
