To Measure Objects.

The dimensions of an object may be
known even if no measuring line is tc
be had. The girth of the hand is equa
TO the length of the foot.
Many useful measures can be foune
in the body. The first finger is usu,
ally four inches long. two inches from
the knuckle to the next joint and two
inches more to the tip. From the tir
of the middle finger to the elbow is
about sixteen inches on an average
and the distance from finger top tc
finger tip of the outstretched hands is
about six feet, the fathom, from fad
ham. Ito embrace"
Individuals vary in these respects,
but if, once for all, you measure the
exact length of your finger, your arm,
your outstretched hands and your foot
or boot you will have permanent meas
ures always with you, which may
prove very useful.

LIVE LIFE OF EASE.
sDYLLlO EXISTENCE OF INHABi-
TANTs OF PITCAIRN ISLAND
Descendants of the sIutineers of the
EnElish Ship Boanty-Disease Is I'm

troll SOcfaIIstic.

One of the most delightful spots on
the habitable globe is Pitcairn island
in the south seas. which is chiefly in
habited by the descendants of the mu-
tineers of the English ship Bounty
These people are entirely iso ated from
the world, with the exception that
they live sufficiently near one of the
great ocean routes to induce the cap
tains of vessels wishing fresh meat
of fruit to make slight DETECTION
from their course. sight the island,
land on it with one of the ships boats
and get. their needed supplies. The
island has no good harbor or road
stead, hence in stormy weather it is
practically unapproachabIe.
According to official report. the is
landers are under the government of
one Of their number, who appears to
be a man of ability and determination
and are in a contented though hardly
progressive state. The entire COM
munity numbers about $50 members
with a somewhat disproportionate
number of females. There are no dis
eases on the island, and absolutely no
medical means of treating them if
there were. The local authorities when
offered medical supplies said that they
neither needed nor cared for them
There appears to be an abundance of
fruit and vegetables, and a sufficient
supply of goats to furnish the compar-
atively little animal food required in
a tropical region.
The system of control is evidently
largely socialistic. From S a. M un.
til 2 p. m.s all of the male population
are engaged in public work of various
kinds. After p. m. they are at lib
erty to do what they care to for them
selves, or to enjoy their leisure. They
are all devout members of the Sew
enth Day Adventist faith and the
American missionaries of this relig-
ious organization are endeavoring to
do what they can to build up some
slight commerce between Pitcairn is
land and Tihiti, believing that it
would be of advantage to the people
of the former island. These latter APP

species of degeneration, in conse-
quence, presumably. of too close in

Estimating Coal SIMPLY.

a banking house in New York has
made an estimate of the coal which re-
mains in the anthracite beds of Penn
sylvania, and finds that there are
still 5,0T3,775. 900 tons unmined. These
beds are, with insignificant exceptions,
the property of eight railroad corpora
tions, which expect to mine 80 600 600
tons this season. At this rate the coal
would last about 100 years; but the
consumption of coal is constantly in
creasing, and if the estimate of the
banking house is correct the anthra-
cite field of Pennsylvania will be ex-
hausted long before the end of the
century.
While this coal is at present the
most accessible and of excellent quail
ity. there are other anthracite deposits
which may be brought into general
use within few years that will re-
move all anxiety concerning the sup
ply. The bituminous and semi-bitumi-
nous coal deposits are practically in
exhaustible. and they extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, some Of the
southwestern states and territories
being to large extent beds of coal.

HEIRESS TO MILLIONS.
HISS NORMA MUNRO CLAIMS VAST
ESTATE IN SCOTLAND.
title of Lady of Dumrric% Goes with
the Property Which Is Said tt IL
Worth x2OU.OOo.Ooo-Youn Lad 4.
Already Very wealthy.

A New York girl, Miss Norma l.
Munro, is now in England pressing he.
claims for an estate and title in SEQ
land. The fortune is an enormous one
5000, 100000, which il obtained vii
make her the wealthiest woman in tn
world. The story of her claim to this
vast estate is interesting.
When her father, Norman l.. Munro
the New York publisher, died he was
engaged in claiming his right to the
estate of the ancient family of Huns
which lies in the county DumfTies, OF
Solway Firth, Scotland. George, thC
last Lord Hume. died iutestate and the
greater number of his heirs died one
by one before the bitter and protracted
quarrel over the division of the estate
was settled.
Land and moneys therefore reverted
to the British crown, with the provi
sion that they be restored to the re
naming heirs should they ever come
to an agreement.
At the time when Norman Munro
discovered that. as grandn ephew OF
the last Lord Hume. ne was an heir
to the Hume property, there was, il
appeared, only one other existent heir
"a Scotchman whose home was in
Edinburgh. These two were on the
road to perfectly friendly agreement
when both died within a short time
OF each other, the Scotchman leaving
no descendants.
Miss Norma Munro therefore is, her
lawyers say, plainly the present exclu-
sive heir not only of the property, but
urbj hos oil
borne by the ladies of the house OF
Hume-that of Lady Of Dumfries. The
title. by way, does not appear in the
peerage, as it is only of local signifi-
canoe. This double claim Miss Munro
recently went to England to press.
Apart from the Scottish fortune Miss
Munro is wealthy. having inherited
many MILLIONS from her father

Rubber from Greasewood.

The ingenuity of a Yankee inventor
has devised a use for that humble and
unlovely shrub of the western deserts
known as the "greasewood 1t has
been found to contain gum that at
fords a valuable substitute for rubber.
The method of obtaining the gum,
which has been newly patented. con-
sists in bruising the woody stalks of
the greasewood, soaking them in a
solution of carbon disulphide, and then
drawing off the liquid. which is dis
TILED. The chemical used as a solvent
is driven off by heat. and there re-
mains in the bottom of the vessel a
gummy stuff, flexible and elastic.
Finally. the gummy stuff is washed
and purified, the result being very
fair substitute for India rubber-so
good, in fact, as to suggest the notion
that some day the American deserts
may be made to yield very satisfactory
profits in the. production of raw ma
terial for gum shoes and bicycle tires.7

Value of Butter Eating.

One of the favorite remedies of
physicians is cod liver oil. and why is
one of the mysteries of the world of
medicine. when all there is about it is
an old fatty substance is wanted that
is easily digested and quite as easily
assimilated, fish oil being appropriated
with a small outlay of digestive power
Why cod liver oil. product of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should have
ever been CHANGED upon, when butter
and cream are natures supply, and at
once the most readily obtainable, is I'M
explafnable While any one can take
cream or butter, the consuming of fish
oil requires the fortitude of a saint and
the heroism of a martyr; and as we
know the oil does not agree with many,
and is hard Of digestion in others.
Now, it has been demonstrated that
fresh. unsalted butter is rather more
digestible than oil, and is pleasant to
take on thinly-cut slices of bread. and
as high as four ounces day OF tnis
butter can be eaten with impunity by
even delicate persons. and cream can
be taken to the full desire of the pa
tient.

Length of Life.

Even a chronic pessimist ought to
find something to be cheerful about
in the recent census bulletin on the
mortality statistics of the United
States for the decade ending in 1900,
says Leslie's Weekly. The bulletin
shows that the advances made in med
ical science and sanitation and In
preventive and restrictive measures
enforced by the health authorities
have had striking effect upon the com
parative death rate for the cities of
this country where a system of regis
tration is in force.
In 1890 the death rate in 271 cities
of 5000 or more population was 81
per 1000; in 1900 the rate was 1876
in 361 cities of 5000 population and
upward-a reduction of "a per l 600.
Another statement of special interest
and significance just now is that the
deaths reported as due to consumption,
including general tuberculosis, de-
creased from 1853 per 100, 900 of popu-
lation in 1890 to 1905 in 1900 very
large reduction. due, the census au-
thorities believe to the better knowl-
edge Of the disease and the measures
adopted for its prevention.

n..s..d Sentenced to sun.r +. r.,.,.,


Under . Minnesota Law.
To George A. Kenney belo. 8 the
distinction of being the first man con-
victed in Minneapolis under the new
law treating abandonment Of or failure
to support wife as felony. The
court was lenient with him and gave
him the lowest penalty--only ninety
days in the workhouse-instead of the
limit of three years in the peniten-
tiary. Mr.. Kenney's bad eminence
should be a warning to other men,
says the Minneapolis Tribune, who are
inclined to neglect evade or shirk
their duty to their families.
The Minnesota law is a new depart
IRE in sociology. Heretofore such Of
lenses have been treated as INSIDE
meanors. The delinquent husband
could be fined-in which case the wife
usually hustled around and raised the
money to pay-or compelled to give
bonds for good behavior or sent to
Jail in default of security. But now
he is confronted by hard-labor
proposition. If his failure to support
his family arises from IaZiness he finds
that he has Jumped out Of the fry
ing pan into the fire. in being COM
PEELED to work for the state under
more disagreeable conditions than free
labor could possibly involve. If he
has means or property he would natur-
ally prefer to draw upon his resources
rather than incur penal sentence. 1t
is not to be presumed that the average
man will sin more than once in this
direction If the law is vigorously en-
forced against him. If he can show
that he has done the best he can and
that his failure to support his family
arises from inability to find employ
ment, that is, of course, a good de-
tense. This law gives the wife bet
ter chance than she had before. She
can insist that her husband perform
his whole duty as the family provider
and if he willfully refuses or neg
lects to do so, she can have him sent
up and so get rid of him. Its enact
ment is an important step in the di-
rection of the practical accomplish
ment Of women's rights.
