LONGEVITY.

| Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson held
 that man should de as unconscious
 of his death as of his birth. This nat
 ural physical death, painless pro-
 cess, was, in his opinion. the true eu- thanas.a. and, although Richardson had a large practice. h,a stated that only ten times in the course of his own observation had ne witnessed this nat uraI euthanasia Oliver WendsIl Holmes idea of a natural death was illustrated by the collapse of the won derful One-hOss hay" where 10 par, of the mechanism gave way before an- ether. 4 distinguished New York dclc-
 tor used to say that he had known cnly one man to die what he co1sid-

 the greatest limit of human life. Pro-
 lessor Owen placing it at about 1O3,
 and F'lourens at 185. Probably Rich
 ardson's limit of no years is nearer
 the truth. This great sanitarian even asserted that seven out of every ten intelligent people could reach that limit if they took proper care of them selves. He aimed at the physicians $ ideal, the time when there shall be no more an infant of days nor an old man who hath not filled his days" Longevity is more likely to be attained by Rich ardson's method of strict conformity to the laws Of health than by Roberts secret "gCat jU'ce" formula Profes- sOr Steele, in the last number of the Chicago Clinic, states that the claims made for the new (RObertsO treat ment are startlingly novel and highly improbable.

AN ENERGY-SAVING LAMP.

The factory for the manufacture of the Maxim incandescent electric lamp in England is being completed, and will have a capacity of turning out G,000 lamps per day. The appearance of this type Of lamp IS similar to the ordinary form. but lby a peculiar pro- cess of manufacture the filaments are so treated that they will z slow with a smaller consumption of energy, while at the same time they are not affected by slight ff1ctuatiCIs n the voltage. The ordinary lamp, after it has been III use for some time, requires an amount of energy per candle of be tween f and 45 watts. The Maxim lamp, it is claimed, needs only 2.3 to 5 watts to the candle, and it's life is much longer.

IOWA MASONS.
Take Decided Stand Against Recog

Mason City, Ia, June 19.- This was busy day for the Masonic grand lodge. The lodge took a decided sand against the recognition of negro Ma sorry. Dispensations for four lodges were granted. All the charter lodges of the state reported with dues paid and all up to date, a condition never known before in Iowa Masonry. 4 recommendation for the establishment of club rooms, billiard tables. etc, in Masonic halls was defeated, it being considered that a membership at tracted by such inducements was not desirable. The Iowa Masonic library, the largest of the kind in the world, the life work of Secrs tary Harvenin. received much attention. Recomman- dation to build an addition to the pres ent building was unanimously passed. The grand lodge will probably ad- jCurn tomorrow noon.

TEDDY IS DEAD.
Rough Riders Eagle Had Consump-
 Elephants in Black.

New York, June 19.-Teddy, the eagle mascot of Roosevelt's Rough Riders in their Santiago campaign, died on Fnday night in his cage in Central park. He had not been well for four weeks. About a month ago two bald eagles, who were christened the Heavenly Twins, were put into the cage with Teddy and several other eagles. Teddy demonstrated imme- diately upon his arrival last fall that he was king eagle by whipping every tLrd in the cage. When the twins ar rived Teddy whipped one of them. The next day he tackled the other, but Twin No 1 aided Twin No. ? and Teddy was defeated decisively. He dropped from that day on. An autopsy performed on Saturday resulted in verdict of death due to consumption. Teddy is being stuffed.
 It Is only a coincidence, but just as the news of Teddy's death became known about the menagerie two keep CTS, Snyder and Tyson. started this morning on a two-days' job lamp blacking elephants. The keepers said that the elephants were not going into mourning for Teddy. It seems that mixture of lampblack and oil is good for elephants in captivity, and Jewel and Old Tom get an annual daubing of this mixture, They are first scrubbed with big brush and castillo osap, and then ten gallons of oil and lampblack are used on them. Old Tom has been unruly recently, and Parker, bulldog, has been put in the pen with him, dogs having a good effect on elephants. The dog and Old Tom have become very good friends, and the elephants tenn per is improving.

WILL HAVE TUBULAR BOILERS. Decision Regarding Battle Ships
 Under Construction.

Washington. June 19.- On the rec ommendation of Engineer in Chief Melville, the battle ships Maine, Ohio and Missouri, now under construction, will be equipped with boilers of the tubular type, and the unprotected cruisers, armored cruisers and other battleghips recently authorized by congress will undoubtedly be provided with boilers of the same type.
 s~The decision to utilize tubular boil CTS in the United States navy in the future says Admiral Melville, lis the result of ten years observation of the performance of the type in the mer- chant service and in the foreign na- vies. A great saving of weight is made by their use, and economy is secured by the ease with which they can be removed andnew sections sub stituted for those which may be in- jured or worn out. Tn the old type boiler it was necessary to rip up the decks in order to remove the defective parts.
 Tt is a mooted question which make is best for naval uses. Great Britain has used all of the boilers we are placing in our menofwar, and she is still undecided as to the make she

a FREIGHT CAR FAMINE

SHE WAS A MODEL WIFE.

LFrom the Milwaukee Sentinel
''She was my model wife until yeSter-
day-that is" remarked the cynical
bachelor who lives in an apartment
house on the east side, she was my
model for wives. She and her husband
lived in the fiat over mine and used
to hear him come home at hours that
made even a. hardened old sinner like
me ashamed for all mems sake. It
would be 2 or and sometimes 4 o'clock
in the morning when he would come
humping up stairs and I knew-the
privacy of an apartment house is not
all that it might be-dont you know,
that she was waiting for him and that
the door flew open to greet MIN, ana
that for an hour or two afterward there
would be the sound of talking. Not
soOlding, but merry COW erSa ton ana
laughter. I used to hear the rattle of
dishes and often on summer nights
would catch savory doors floating down
the light shaft-that blessed agent for
the transmission of everything but air
and sunshine. Then after time there
would be silence. It used to go on
that sort of thing-night after night
and wondered what sort of a woman
she could be to put up with a man of
such irregular habits as her husband
apparently was. One day I met her
in the CORRIDOR little woman with a
face that beamed over with smiles and
a. whole world of love in her eyes and I
phrase I could think of as a brute who
didn't deserve such luck. Yesterday

newspaper man, she is a bride and with
theories of her own to work out she
has upset every law of domestic man
agement to conform to the hours of his
work, turning night into day and hav-
ing the evening dinner at 4 o'clock in
the morning instead of O'Clock at
night. She is still my model for
newspaper mans wife, but I've ceased
to think of her as the modern Griselda.
She may be patient, but she's got
heap of wisdom tucked away under

broken, despite the most careful hand
ling. The appearance of the idols IS
curious, and, besides representing hu-
sorts of emotions, and having their
hands folded in a, peculiar way across
their chests, there are representations
of all sorts of animals and have pc
culiar decorations or inscriptions.
The idols are sculptured out of sand
stone, pumice, lava and other material.
Some of them are light enough to float
in water. Some of them are almost 6
feet high. It is difficult to tell the age
of the idols and it is only known that
they were used by the ancestors of the
present Pueblo Indians before the Span
ish conquest. The collection of ex-
Governor Prince has been seen by COM
paratively few persons so far, but for
seven years the bureau of ethnolgy
has been anxious to secure photographs
of them. Governor Prince will prob
ably send them to the Smithsonian IN

sesses pottery and charred corn taken
out of the excavations in which the
stone idols were found, and has in prep
aration an exhaustive treatise upon the
aborigines of New Mexico.
