What Science Does Not Know.
From American Medicine

The prognosis of death Is the special cx-
pert work of the life insurance examiner.
He makes up his estimates from many OBJ
servations and considerations and his sue
cess Is a demonstration Of the nearness OF
the approach of medicine to being science
There are certain diseases that are slow
in inception and progress that II policy
holder dies within certain time after he
has been accepted as a risk 1t shows tina.
the medical examiners have been careless.
This, of course, if too often repeated would
naturally end the examiners connection
with the company. SO that seIf-interest
alone would prompt the greatest possible
accuracy and care. From the report of
DR.. Hanscom. the medical examiner-in-
chief of the Royal Arcanum, we learn that
In 1901 the organization lost 2,375 members
by death, and OF this number 35 died with
in one year after admission. How far Is
the company's loss due tc lack OF the best
possible provision? That is the question
which interests the examiner especially,
but scientifically it interests every ply
sician. We find that the causes of death in
the 50 cases are as follows:

Law of Breeding Animals.
From American Medlcine


MendaHs law is an illustration of the
strange neglect of a discovery by the Of
fetal scientists when II is made by a lay
man and not published IN the regular way
In this instance the ''layman' was a priest
"a German monk-who published his ex-
cetlent scientific thesis In an obscure Ger
man village IN 1855. Within the last two
years the law has been rediscovered. prac-
t,oally INDEPENDENTLY and simultaneously.
by four biologlc investigators one Of whom

A Much Debated Question.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
In Germany discussion has started urg-
ing that German children drop the words
mamma and papa in favor of "mutter
(mother) and water father). How"
say they, "can anybody prefer the unmean-
ing mamma to the deep and impressive
'mutter" Nothing can replace for a Ger
man the word 'mutter,' certainly not the
French mamma A certain phiiologfst.
however, asks how it can be suggested that
the word mamma is derived from the
French, seeing that 1t is probably to be
found in all languages OF the world. In
the numerous dialects of Africa and in
India the word for mother Is mamma,
which is given as a title of honor to every
elderly dame deserving of esteem and re-
spect Mamma and papa (baba) are SO
generally used In all parts of the world
that they probably date back some thou
sands OF years" ~,,.. =.z.

Rich Republic Of 5000 Monks.
N the New York Times.

From the New York Times
On the east point of the sacred Mount
Athos, on the Turkish peninsula Chalk
dixie, is a settlement of 5000 monks, scat
tered among twenty monastertes, the whole
forming monastic republic in the domin-
ions Of the sultan. to whom they are tribu-
tary The yearly tribute they pay to Abdul
Hamid is by no means small one, but the
sum is easily met by the republic, which Is
very rich, and counts many millionaires
among It's members.

public maintains its own ship. SAILING

Building for Winter Homes.

From the Toronto (Ontario) Globe.
Another matter to which attention ought
to be paid is the construction Of houses
with a view to economizing fuel. Solidity.
good workmanship and compactness are
obvious means Of protection against cold
weather. The suggestion has been made
that the winter sunshine might be utilized
more extensively than 1t is at present. The
verandas. which now becoming every
year more common. might be incased in
glass during the winter months, and SO
converted into sun parlors. Even when
there Is no scarcity Of fuel It Is plea ga Mt
ano healthful TO bask in the winter sun.
and 1t Is customary to advertise the sun
parlor as one of the attractions of winter
resort hotels. There is no reason why this
luxury should not be more generally en-
joyed: the cost OF the glass would be soon
paid for in the saving In coal, and a pleas
ant room would be added to the house

From the LONDON Express.
Visitors who have not been in Rome for
the last twenty years, writes the British
consul there, can scarcely recognize 1t.
Suburbs have risen over vineyards out

A Tropical Candidate fog the Distinc-

From the Chicago Record Hefaid
There stands tree in-the-tropics of Mex
leo the sight of which is worth the trouble
OF the 800 mile trip from Mexico City to the
little Indian village ofrI Tule, on the road
to Militia
This giant Of q prehistoric forest is
known as the big Tule tree. the name being
pronounced in two syllables and as though
1t were spelled Tu-ieei In past years many
trees have come to the front as claimants to
the distinction of beinge the largest tree in
the world. end not infreauently one OF these
impostors secures that honor.
Only short time ago a. new tree was dis
covered in California OF the Mariposa va
riety, and 1t was heralded as the biggest
tree in the world, it's circumference being
100 feet The big Tule tree is forty-five feet
two inches to the good of this new western
wonder, and the fact that its position has
not hitherto been more firmly established is
due to the few people who have seen 1t.
Not every one who goes to Mexico goes to
Militia, and II you don't go to Militia, or near
ly there. you cannot see the big Tule. Ac-
cordfngiy, comparatively few people have
seen Its glories.
There are many California trees which
would make more lumber than the big Tule
for its trunk Is not high and Its abundant
tropical foliage almost reaches the ground.
Despite this fact, it takes two looks to see
the top" and twenty-eight people standing
with outstretched arms and touching finger
tips can scarcely encircle the trunk. The
tree stands in the churchyard of Santa
Maria del Tule, and many scientists believe
that 1t guarded the beautiful tropical valley
when a prehistoric race was building what
are now the famous ruins Of Militia. 1t is
the ancient of ancients. and the natives
look upon the tree with veneration and

guardian of the people. Humboldt, the great
German traveller, took great interest in the
tree and had a wooden tablet placed upon
it. The bark of the tree has partially over
grown the inscription On the tablet. The
tree is a species Of cypress, and is called
ahuehuetl by the natives
