white Races I'm the Tropics.

The Indian Medical Record does not
believe in the acclimatization Of the
white race in the tropics. 1t holds that
the lowered death rate in hot countries
Is not an evidence to the contrary, bu,
rather that 1t shows it Is only after
elaborate precautions have been learn
ed that It exists. 1t is rather a proc.
Of the inability Of the white race to
colonize-that is, to labor and undergo
constant exposure in the tropics. 1t is
absurd to say, 1t claims. that a reduc
ed death rate directly due to the care
full avoidance Of every possible expos
ure is an evidence that such exposure
ran be endured.

What are known as tidal waves"
have nothing to do with the tides. but
are supposed to be caused by earth
Quakes. They do not, therefore, appear
at regular intervals.
In Germany crystals of silicon-car-
bide, called carborundum, which are
practically as hard as the diamond. are
employed instead of small diamonds
for ruling fine lines on graduated
scales. 1t is said that they produce
lines more evenly drawn than those
made by diamonds.
The Savings Bank. in Brussels. says
the Revue Scientiaque. has recently
adopted a process of sterilizing all
bank notes which pass through its
hands. The money is exposed for sew
eral hours to the vapor of formalin.
The Revue suggests that books lent out
from public libraries should be similar
ly treated. -
The fact tina, ur. can oe

to an observatory. Even more surl
ing Is the fact that stars can be photo
graphed in broad day. The Draper
|photographing telescope belonging TO
the Harvard Observatory, has pictured
the dog-star, Sirius, at midday. And It
has been suggested that the photo
graphing Of bright stars crossing the
meridian in daylight may prove to be
source Of increased knowledge for
astronomers.
A tide that sweeps across the south
erp Indian Ocean from Australia to
the Cape Of Good Hope divides at the
latter point. One part continues to
travel In a westerly direction toward
Patagonia, and the other moves north
ward up the Atlantic. The latter por-
ton, REINFORCED by a newly born tide
formed between Africa and South
America, takes twelve hours to ad-
vance from the Cape to the coast OF
New Jersey, New England and Nova
Scotia. The eastern wing Of the At
lansic wave sweeps on toward Ireland
and Norway. arriving six hours later
in the vicinity Of the former, and
twelve on the coasts of the latter.

Safe Depths for Divers.

The greatest diving feat ever achiev'
I'd. 1t is said, was In moving the cargo
,f the ship Cape Horn, wrecked off the
coast of South America. when a diver
named Hooper made seven descents t.
4 depth Of over 200 feet. remaining al
me time forty-two minutes under the
water. An authority states that the
greatest depth to which a man has
been known to descend does not ex
.eed 200 feet-which Is equivalent to 6
pressure Of eighty-eight and one-hal
pounds to the square inch.

mercies was that they usually called for
q certain distance in every direction
around a peg driven into the ground at
a specified point. 1t results from this that
all the property held under these grants
is circular in shape. OF course the a1-
joining circles can touch each other only
at four points, leaving between them
tracts of land which could not possibly
be included in circles unless they over
Tapped each other. These odd bits of
ground remained the property of the gov
eminent, and very fine legal point has
arisen as 10 how the transfer of the gov
eminent Of Cuba from Spain to the United
States affects the ownership thereof.
The fact that Spain when she left the
island simply "withdrew"-did not "cede"
Cuba TO anyone--makes the point difficult
of solution. There Is no treaty stipula-
tion between Spain and the Cubans which
covers the case, and II the United States
ever leaves the island in the hands of
the Cubans the question is likely to be-
come still further complicated.
It Is said that before leaving the
island the Spaniards turned all this and
other public property over to the Catho-
lie church. This, II done. was strictly
within the rights which tho Spanish then
enjoyed. But it is a question il this
possess any definite information on the
point. and as an incident occurred no
very long ago in Havana which scented
10 show that the church dignitarics wished
10 protect Spanish property by Ginning
an ownership In II that they did not actual
" possess. some doubt has been expressed
concerning the validity of the entire trans
action.
The case alludc to was the attempted
sale of two squares of ground In the rear
of the Hotel Passage. 1t occurred last year,
Ostensibly the ground was to be bought
for a Spanish clubhouse. and the price to
be paid the government was slO0 900. There
squares were immensely valuable. and in
order 10 get them at these figures, 1t is
said that the club offered Blaneo. who was
then captain general, a qualification Of
sf5 600. The sale would have been con-
summated but for the interference OF the
American commission on some technical
noint. Afterwards the local priests claimed
that the government was simply acting In
This case for them, as they were the real
owners az the property but. Admiral

was no ground for this claim, and

ship of the land. That is 10 say, the
chief portion of the sugar lands OF the
island are owned by less than 100 fam
lies many of whom reside in Spain, and
quite n number of whom are by no means
rolling in riches.
This limited ownership does not mean
that the plantations in Cuba are operated
exclusively for the benefit of these few
people. On the contrary, the sugar region
is occupied and cultivated by an immense
number of different people 1t seems that
the original owners, while never parting
with the naked ownership of the land
have sold the right to cultivate, and TINS
right has in turn been divided and resold
and redivided until the whole system has
been wonderfully complicated
But the original owners, In the first
sale of the right to cultivate, stipulated
that they should receive an annual rent,
called a "censo," and the payment of this
"censo." or the just proportion of IL, was
one of the terms incorporated In all the
subsequent deeds. Roughly speaking, this
was a system of ground rents similar TO
those with which we are more or less
familiar, both in the United States ana
England.
The curious feature OF the "censo"
system is that It was calculated on the
Weld from the first crop, the sum being
usually fixed at per cent OF the return
an that occasion. After the "censo' had
been cnce fixed. 1t never changed, no
natter how the right to cultivate might
be sold. or whether the amount or value
of the crop should increase or diminish
