PHILADELPHIA LONGEVITY.
Live to q Good Old Age In the Quaker
City.


On July last statistics were pub
lished in these columns showing the
number of deaths which had occurred
during the preceding six months
among persons who had lived to or be-
yond the age of so years. The total
for that period was 443, of which 1872
were men and 251 women, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
During the last half of 1898 there
have been published in the obituary
columns of the Ledger the deaths of
431 persons who lived to or beyond the
age of so years. OF these 1SS were
men and 243 were women. Compared
with the corresponding period of 1897
the last six months of the year when
is just past shows a great increase in
the number of deaths among aged peo-
pie. In the last half of 1897 the to-
tai number of deaths was 329, or 1OZ
less Titan the aggregate of the SIX
months just past; the result is due IN
some measure to the epidemic OF grip,
which raised the death rate of the last
two weeks of the year from an aver
age of A for the past eight years to
81, though the death rate for these two
weeks in 1898 was very nearly as hlsh
viz, 70, and in 1891 it was higher
viz, 101. The total number of deaths
of octogenarians, nonagenarians, ana
centenarians announced in the Public
Ledger during the twelve months end
ing Dec. 81, 1898, was S7i, divided into
$50 men and 494 women, showing that
80 per cent more women reach so tnau
do men. OF the males 45 reached or
passed the age of 80, the average of
their ages being 92 years and six
months, while the 76 women who lived
to or beyond the age of 80 averaged 80
years and II months.

A simple test for drinking water is
Heisch sewage test Fill a clean pint
bottle three-quarters full of water to
be tested, and dissolve in it a half
a teaspoonful of pure granulated sugar.
Cork it and set it in warm place for
two days. If during this time it be-

domestic use. If 1t remains perfectly
clean it is probably safe. Be careful
that the bottle is absolutely as clean

To Harvard university belongs the
credit of having established the richest
meteorological station in the world
nearly four miles above the sea level
namely, on the summit of Ell Mist, a
quiescent volcano near Arequipa, In
Peru. The main station is at Arequi-
pa itself, at an altitude of about 5000
feet, and there are seven other sta
tions, including one at the base or
Ell Misti. 1900 feet above the sea
level, while the one on the summit is
at $4,000, or about $500 feet higher
than the noted station on Mont Blanc.
The shape of the Misti is declared to
be admirable, it being an almost per-

as it is possible to obtain on noun

Labor's Extravaganza.

The members of an archaeological So
ciety had a gathering at the home of
a certain one of their number in Glou-
cester. While they were roaming
about the house, the host called the
attention of his guests to an old clock,
a great favorite of his. He told his
friends of his great attachment to this
ancient timepiece, and grew quite pa
thetic at certain points in his re-
marks. which he brought to a close
by saying, in a voice full of emotion:
Gentlemen. l have wound up that
clock every night for more than forty
years" He had evidently made an
impression on his visitors. when one
old fellow. who had been carefully ex-
amining the clock, turned the tide of
feeling evoked by the story by saying.

were something of an idiot! That's an

L NIcteoric PIoicCtIlC.

Tie discovery Of meteors that have
actually been seen to fall is rare
piece of good fortune. Such an event
occurred last August, near Andover,
Maine. The meteor fell on cloudy
morning, and exploded with a noise
heard for many miles around, and
which was generally supposed to be
thunder. Its path through the air
was marked by n trail of black smoke.
Tearing its way through a group of
trees 1t almost struck man passing.
1t did strike a stone wall and buried
itself in the ground, from which it
was dug by Mr.. Henry Y. Poor, the
well-known editor of the Manuel of
Railroads. 1t weighs about seven
pounds, and consists mostly of stony
material, with a little iron.

account of the raising of the average

but from 1880 to 1890 the cost was

Learning to Run Motors.

Visitors to Paris, who are in the
habit of travelling by the electric We
hicles now generally in use there, are
learning to visit the school where the
expert motorman learns to steer his
machine SO deXterously through the
busy traffic of the Partisan streets. At
Aubervilliers, near Paris. the Cam
pagnie Generate des Voitures has es-
tablished a motor track, about $500
feet long, upon which the drivers are
taught to steer the cars through paths
of difficulty. Looking at the course
one would feel convinced that could
the driver find his way with his ma
chine unharmed through the innu-
merable obstacles placed upon it, he
would certainly have no difficulty in
passing through the eye of the needle,
cited by the biblical writer. Part of
the motor road is made of macadam
part of wood pavements and the re-
mainder of stone-the three substances
of which Paris streets are made-and
all manner of inequalities are intro
duced into this track. To simulate a
crowded street, life-sized painted board
figures of men, women, children and
dogs are set up at short irregular in
tervals; now a lady and gentleman
crossing the road; again a bicyclist; q
maid wheeling a peramublator or car
rying a baby; further on dog stand

skillfully he manages to do so on the

their real living obstacles.

How Balloons Arc Made.

The balloons are manufactured Of
gold-beater's skin, says the Pail Mall
Magazine, which, though small toy
ones had been made of it, could not
be produced in sufficient quantities for
the large balloons until Colonel Tenn
pier invented and perfected the proc
ess, which is briefly as follows:
The goldbeater's skin Is made up of
quantities OF a certain thin animal

for a balloon of 10000 cubic feet ca

fatty substance and then soaked in
a solution of glycerine and water. They
are then applied to boards cut in the
form and to the size of the gore of
the balloon required; others are then
superposed until thickness of four
layers has been reached, great care be-
ing taken that no air bubbles remain
between the skins. After this fourth
layer a method of Strengthening Is re-
sorted to, in the shape of a net man
ufactured of skin. After this net two
or three more layers of membranes are
applied. The whole is then allowed to
dry, and solution of boiled llnseed oil
is used as a varnish. The fabric is then
quite indissoluble and the membranes

ployes. The employe who is made to
work overtime can't afford to object,
for many obvious reasons. Mrs. Bak-
er believes this, too. and so she has
constituted herself as the champion
of the wronged employees. and of the
public whose safety is imperiled by
compelling motormen to work exceed
ingly long hours. First she remon-
strated with the manager, then when
remonstrance didn't succeed, she
caused suit to be instituted against the
company, and has not only retained
some of the best legal talent of the me-
tropolis to conduct the prosecution, but
is spending time and additional money
to secure evidence that Will convict.
She has been importuned by her fash
ionable friends not to do this. but her
replies may be summed up in the
statement that she doesn't see why
corporation shauld be permitted to
violate law simply because it's rich.
Every workingman and every other
right-minded person will respect and
applaud Mrs. Baker for her course. But
isn't it terrible arraignment of the
prevalent way of doing things that 1t
needs the active aid of an influential
and wealthy woman to have the ma
chinery of law set in motion to call
law-defying corporation to book?
When there is an invasion CT the rights
of a corporation, or even faint sus-
picion that such a thing is contem-
plated, how the policemen, prosecuting
attorneys, and even he judges of our
courts fairly fall over each other in
their haste to prevent or punish the
outraged But when the shoe is on the
other foot, when the plain citizen with
out big piles of money Is imposed upon
and made to suffer because corpora
tion chooses to defy law, then the po-
liceman is blind, the prosecuting at
torney has mo official cognizance" of
(which is legal way of saying that
he doesn't want to be told, and the
judge takes care to pass by on the 9TH
er side of the street. The upshot is,
that unless labor union or some other
person like Mrs. Baker steps in, the
violation of law not only goes unpun-
ished. but its continuance even comes
to be regarded as quite the proper
thing.
