Philip. who is safe to have been dis
covered in an offer to furnish Great Britt

DR.. Leyds, however, denies the part at

here is a surprising feature.
/ Possessing SO few Of the elements %
long considered as necessary to 10ngevi-
ty, the Jew ds probably the longest lived
OF any race of+people now in existence.
His tenacIty OF life is remarkable. In
spite Of the social conditions which sur
round the mass of the Hebrew population
the world over. and especially in the
large cities of America, where they form
a large percentage of the population, the
death rate among the Jewish inhabitants
ID but little over half of that of the aver
age American population. Professor
William z. Ripley in his papers on the
racial topography of Europe in 1.-The
Popular Science Monthly" discusses this
question very ably n very fully. He
states that If two groups of one hundred
infants each, one Jewish and one of aver
age American ~parentage, be born upon
the same day, one-ha1f of the Americans
will die within forty-seveTl years, while
the first half of the Jews will not sue
cumb to disease before the expiration OF
sey~enty-one years. According to Lom-
brOso, of~One Thousand Jews born, PIT die
before the age of seven years, while 453
Christians, more than twice as many, are
likely to die within the same period.

discrepancy, but on this very account
they should be more liable to epidemic,
and other disease. This is not wholly
true, however They show an abnoramlly
small proportion OF deaths from consump-
tion and pneumonia, which are RESPONSE
Bile for the largest proportion of deaths
among the American population. Pro-
fessor Ripley ascribes their immunity
from this, as we'll as from some other dis
eases, to the excellent system of meat
inspection prescribed by the Mosaic law.
Hoffman says that in London as much as
one-third of the meats offered for sale
are rejected as unfit for consumption by
the Jews.
Probably the temperate habits for which
the Jews, as a race are noted, will ac-
count to some extent for the longevity.
The Jew is temperate in almost all that
he does. in all that he eats. and in all
that he drinks. He is seldom addicted to
the Incorporate use of alchoholic liquors.
He abstadlps from certain varities of meat,
and those of the richer and more heating
kind; SO that his frugal diet, his temper
ate use of liquors, his abstinence from
certain foods which are unwholesome,
account for his remarkable freedom from
Bright's disease and diseases of the liver,
which are largely diseases of intemper-
ance. To sum up. the lew, in spite of his
physical condition and his social sur
roundings, and by reason of his temper
ance and sobriety. his frugality II his
freedom from accident, contrlves, on the
average. to live nearly twice as long as
his more careless and imprudent neigh
bors. .~.u

INDEPENDENCE
The Seat of the Movement is in War
saw And a General Uprising Will
Occur If Russia Attacks Great
Britain in Asia.

Chicago, Feb. 19.-Leaders in Polish cir
cles OF this city say there is a secret ma
t.ona1. Polish league, which extended
throughout, Europe and America and tina
II had existed not only for fourteen years
but ever since the breakout Of the last
struggle for Poaand's independence in 1868.
One OF the leaders sard:
1.-The secret organization has not been
plotting against any government but
for the freeing of Poland by force of arms
or any other method. During the last
few weeks THE Polish national organiza
lions in this. c ity which as such have NO
direction with the secret league, have
been receiving information that the Rus
san government has resumed persecution
of the Poles and that wholesale ARE SIS
are being made in Warsaw, the seat of
The SO called central committee of the
national league. -
"The league began a spirited agitation
Dec 9th, of last year.. when a circular was
issued from Warsaw. appealing to all
Poles to equip themselves both mentally
and physically so that in case of need
they might be ready to serve the cause
of freeing Poland. The circular called on
all FO1eS 10 continue the aGlLatlOn TOR 70
land and to study and propagate Polish
national spirit. -
'since the publication OF circular books
and pamphlets which because of their
intense Polish patriotic expression are
prohibited in PolhndSby Russia have been
printed in Chicago and other cities, sent
to Europe. placed In the hands Of agents
OF the league and distributed in Poland"
In speaking OF the Polish league and
OF the recent arrests In Lemberg, Frank
H. ~Jablonski, president OF the Polish ma
tiortal alliance Of America, said:
I'VE have been receiving Information
about the numerous arrests in Warsaw
but that the arrests have been made in
Ler1berg is a surprise to US. All we can
say is that the coming events cast their
shadows before them. That there is a
Polish national government or lea
que with a seat in Warsaw IS true and
public. Who the members are / cannot
tell YOU. The plan is to have a general
uprising in Poland in case of war between
Russia and England, and it is in line with
h plan that many Poles are being re-
cruited into English regiments from War
saw and other places in Poland and sent,
not to the Transvaal, al some cores
pondents would mistake, but into Asia,
where the first clash is expected with
Russia. If course, men from Austrian
Poland would assist their fellow COIN
trymen and that may be a reason for
the arrests"
