WHERE THE FAMOUS BOOK WAS WRITTEN
STAMPING OUT THE FEVER.

A statement concerning the vital sta
tistics Of the city of Havana for the
month of September, 1901, compiled
from official reports on file in the divi-
sion OF insular affairs Of the war de
partment. shows that the health con
ditions were decidedly the best attain
ed in any month. The least number of
deaths occurring in any previous Sep
TENDER since 1889 was 1875 in 1899. the
greatest number. 2.S97. in 1898: aver
age, So. For September, 1901. there
were 339 deaths. The least number OF
deaths occurring in any one preceding
month during the last eleven years was
in February 1901. when there We're
4OS deaths. The lowest death rate for
September in the years referred to was
in 1899 when the death rate was 344S
per thousand. For September. 1901, the
death rate was 1854 per thousand TAX
ing the yellow fever year as commenc-
ing April l, the record of the past
eleven years shows that for the six
months up to the first OF October the
smallest number of deaths from this
disease occurred in 1899, when there

SQneflinO Ahauf SaaIs

About the beginning of the last CEN
fury people began to hunt seal. They
found it a very profitable occupation
and large numbers were captured; it
has been so profitable that on many of
the islands where seal were hunted
they have been eXterminated, and now
they are mostly seen in museums.
There are several species of seal and
some will get extremely tame, fond of
their owner, love 10 be caressed and
will learn tricks very much after the
manner of puppy. The seals body
is covered with a double fur, which,
when 1t is immersed in water, is
pressed very closely to the body, and
excludes water. This fur is very valu-
able, and as you see a lady wrapped
in a cloak or coat of fur from a seals
body you know it has cost her several
hundreds of dollars to get the warm
covering. But it is an animal good
for even more than its beautiful Jack
ct, as the Esquimaux and the Alaskan
Indians live very largely upon it's flesh
and fat. Seals are said to be fond Of
music, and will follow a boat in which
a flute Or violin is played. They often
come out on the land and lie about on
the rocks and play and tumble about
like happy children.

Memorial TO Mrs. Eddy

The house at Lynn, Mass, where
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy wrote her
famous book, Science and Health"
the law and the gospel of the great
Christian Science church of which sne
is the originator and head, has just
been purchased by her faithful follow
ers in that city and will be preserved
as memorial to their revered teacher
It is to be remodeled into church.
There was talk of tearing it down and
building a modern church edifiCe, but
the majority of the society favor MAX
ing such changes as will provide a
place of worship and at the same time
keep intact as a memorial the room
where the creed was born.
The house is L Broad street, CEN
trally located and an ideal location for
church purposes. 1t is the mecca of
thousands of pilgrims who come from
far and near. At present it is occu-
pied by two families and they have
both been obliged in self-defense to
forbid inspection OF the interior of the
premises, except in rare cases where
people have travelled exceptionally
long distances with this in view.
The upper tenement is occupied by
Mrs. Cole. and the tide OF travel turns
more naturally in her direction than
to the lower part of the house from the

fact that the room Mother" Eddy oc-
cupied and where she performed her
task is in the upper tenement. Some
days there is almost steady stream of
callers and the number increased so
rapidly that 1t took up the time of one
servant answering the bell and inter-
fered with household affairs so much
that the door had to be closed to all
strangers.
The room which Is the subject Of
such solicitation is plain, small and is
lighted by a small gable window and
skylight in the roof, which is to be
seen in the picture. One door opens
into the hallway and the other leads
to small closet. The view is prac-
tically confined to a glimpse of the next
housetop. which may be obtained
through the skylight by dint of cram
ing ones neck, and the beauties Of
lane which may be seen from the rear
window There was certainly nothing
to distract Mrs. Eddy's attention from
the work in hand.
Whatever else is changed in remod
cling the house it is likely that this
room viii be preserved as a memento
of the woman and her work. which has
gathered such an array of followers in
the short time it has been under
way.

Advice on Book-Borrowinc

One need have no delicacy in asking
Books are property, and when they are
borrowed they should be carefullypro-
tected from injury and promptly re
turned to their owners. l doubt the
propriety Of borrowing a book if one
is near lending library. We do not
borrow shoes or gloves or furniture,
and why should we make an exception
Of books? I think the owner of a set
should hesitate to let a single volume
go out OF her possession. Either make
a loan of the entire set or give your
home.-Mrs. Sangster in Ladies Home
Journal.

Costly Eggs.

A peculiar fact in collecting birds
eggs is the wide difference in values of
eggs Of the same family of BIRDS For
instance, there is the great family of
hawks. Some hawks eggs are worth
only few cents each, and other
hawks eggs find ready sale at SO, SIS
and 81 each. 1t makes 500 bill look
dilipidated to buy a complete set of
even western hawks eggs, while full
set of all known hawks eggs cost up
ward of 5000 The eggs of a marsh
hawk, red-backed hawk and cooper
hawk may be bought for 20 cents each,
and the broad winged hawks eggs will

eggs of Swainson's hawk and the buff
breasted hawk are worth S1.50 each.-

Rich Finds i'm Egypt.

communication from Gen Charles
". Darling OF Utica. honorary secre-
tary Of the Egypt exploration fund.
gives some extremely interesting facts
relative to recent discoveries by Prof
Petrie al AbydOS. which throw much
light upon the prehistoric period of
Egypt. This indeterminate period ex-
tends back to the paleolithic age of
man, evidence of which has been dis
covered. not only on the plateaus above
the Nile, but also in the river valley
From bOrings, through the deposit of
Nile mud. Prof. Petrie argues that the
date in the history OF the world, thus
decided. may be assigned to about 1000
B. c. To this date he ascribes his
earliest prehistoric graves, which. we
are told. reveal people skilled in
manufactures. They possessed various
forms of pottery, stone vases. carved
ivory and finely wrought flint nipple
ments. They also knew the art of
weaving.
AT later period of time, which can
not be fixed chronologically, came an
other wave of immigration, to take the
place of the Libyan stock, which had
previously emigrated into Egypt 1t
Is thought that the later immigrants
were Amorites from Syria. The new
people introduced silver, lapis lazuli
and hematite. and the amalgamation
OF the two races resulted in a brilliant
epoch of art. Then appeared the most
elaborate metal work; valuable beads
OF gold turquoise and amethyst. Still
later came a degradation, which con-
unued down to the first dynasty.

HEAT OF EARTH'S INTERIOR.
Its Energy May Some Day BE Trans
formed Into Electricity.


New methods of utilizing natures
energy constantly are being discovered
and doubtless the future has in store
greater discoveries than yet have been
made. T. c. Mendenhall, in Cas-
sier's Magazine writes of the stored
energy of the heat of the earths in
terror and the possibilities of using it
as a source of power. He saws: THE
stored energy of the heat Of the earth's
interior is beyond power of calculation,
and some not entirely unsuccessful
attempts to utilize this have already
been made. From a short distance be-
low the surface the temperature in
creases downward at an average rate
which indicates that at a depth Of
fifty miles It is not less than 5000
degrees Fair, and there is abundant
reason for believing that the earth is
an intensely hot body with only a
thin layer of poorly conducting, cold
surface matter. These are the essen
tial conditions of a heat engine OF
enormous capacity. and as in many
parts of the world comparatively high
temperatures are found very near the
surface, while in all parts considerable
ranges are possible within reasonable
differences of level, the interior heat
of the earth, which has an origin more
remote in time than the sun or its own
axial rotation. is worthy of most seri-
Gus consideration as a possible and
reasonable source of power It's i'm
portance will be greatly enhanced
when we are able TO transform heat
energy directly into electricity on a
large scale and with economy, avoid
ing the great waste which necessarily
accompanies the use of the steam en-
CINE; and this must soon come about"

WlNDMIllS IN THE WEeT
Important Part They Play on the Grea
Farms of the Plains.


Farms of the Plains.
"a thing that strikes an eastern
man strangely" said the man just
back from a western trip, lis the
prevalence of the windmill in the west.
This is supposed to be the age of
steam and electricity, of new ideas in
every line of human activity, but you
would be inclined to change your mind
if you ever saw the forests of primitive
windmills that dot the western plains.
They first come into view when the
traveller crosses the Mississippi into
Iowa, and by the time he gets to Ne
braska and Kansas they seem to be
staring In the car windows at every
revolution Of the wheels. And they
are the most useful adjunct the west
ern farmer possesses. Usually a man
associates the windmill with Holland.
but the western variety is a different
brand and used for exactly the oppo-
site purpose that Hollanders employ
them for. In that country the mill is
used to get rid of the water; in the
west it is employed to produce it. The
enterprisins manufacturers make them
in all styles. some tall and graceful,
Others low with a half circle of fans
at the top. The big ones are useful
in grinding corn, but most of them
are engaged in pumping up water for
irrigation and to Stake the thirst of
the cattle. horses and hogs For the
latter a system of pipes conveys the
water to various parts Of the ranch.
The wells reach way down into the
earth, where an eXhaustless supply Is
found and while few furnish the
source OF any extended irrigation sys-
tens. nearly all have connections with
the garden and yard. The small
streams which abound in the west gen
orally become stagnant during the
summer. but with the standpoint and
the wind pump the great reservoir of
nature is tapped and great streams Of
water are furnished. Many ranchmen
have built milk houses around the
wind pump and the fresh. cool water
IS kept running through large tanks
made for milk cans. enabling them to
furnish their own tables with choice
cream and butter and an overplus
that in many cases pays for the family
groceries,
