LONG LIFE AND MERRY ONE.
America ms Who Are Strenuous out-
live the Africans Who Are
Ind client.

1t seems that we are all wrong
about the hurtful and life-shortening
effect of American hustle" Our ma
tional motto may be said to. have
been; "a short life, but strenuous
one" We are willing, as a people.
to have the span shortened a little
if only we could have something
worth while, something active and
effective, going all the time. But it
seems, according to the latest bulle-
tin of the census bureau, that the
fast life is also the long one, says
Harper's Weekly. Our "median age"
that is, the age which is such that
half the population is under it and
half over it's more than seven
years greater than it was a century
ago, and increases from decade to
decade. We are surprising easy-go-
ing foreign countries in this re-
spect; we are surprising even the
loose-jointed, indolent, beautifully re-
Taxed, never-worrying African in our
midst; for whereas the median age
of our American whites is 23.4 years,
that of the devil-may colored
person lie but 1873. Lately much con-
fusion has arisen in the minds Of
many Americans over the statement
made by certain eminent neurolo-
gists that 1t is next to impossible
for a man to "overwork," provided
his bodily functions are kept in good
order by temperate and wholesome
living. Other physicians, to be sure,
tell us that hurry and worry spell
death. We have accepted the latter
Judgment, with the qualifying refec-
ton that no matter what science
tells us, it always seems to have
another thing coming" This CEN
sus bulletin which links the long life
with the fast one appears to be the
other "think."

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Some OF the Many Changes Which
Have Occurred I'm That Country
I'm Recent Yeaxs.

Since 1896 five events have occurred
that wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better, reports the
Engineering Magazine.
1. In that year the Klondike gold
discoveries were made, and in 1897
and 1898 great rush to and through
Alaska began, resulting in doubling
of the population and in an output
of gold from the Yukon region to
date of SIS, 100000.
Q. In 1898 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United States,
giving Importance to the direct route
along the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses
sions.
3. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the beach at Nome, and this carried
10000 people to this part of Alaska
and resulted in an output Of $5,OOO,-
600 in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-.
viously yielded.
4. The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1896, have grown in
1902 to great companies, capitalized
for $20,0OO,OO0 and with net earnings
last year of more than 100000 and
employing 10000 men.
S. Two railroads have been con
structed in Alaska, one of which is in
the extreme southeast, costing $4,000.
000 earned last year over 81, 900, 900 net
and the other in the extreme north.
west near Nome, a little road five
miles long, which earned $4,000 net
6. Coal fields formerly specifically
known have been explored and inves.
tigated, while new ones of great val.
ne have been discovered.

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR
Changes in Temperature and the
Work of Jack Frost Are the
Principal Agents.

A leaf is composed of great num-
Der of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
these cells are all filled with fluid, col
ored with minute grains of red, yellow
and other pigments, which, mixed to-
gethel, appear green. In the autumn,
through the cold, oxidation and other
changes take place in the leaf-cells,
destroying more or less rapidly certain
of the color elements, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. As soon as one
of these elements is gone the leaf no
longer appears normal green, but as
sumes the shade of the remainder of
the color elements mixed together.
When only the red element is left tho
leaf is red; when the yellow alone re-
mains, the leaf is yellow, and when all
the coloring matter is gone the leaf is
brown.
Frost is not the sole cause of the
changes of color, but it is an important
cause. The more gradual the changes
of temperature from summer heat to
winter cold, the greater will be the
variety and brilliancy in the eoloring
of the autumn leaves.

WAR ON BOGUS COLLEGES.
Concerted and Energetic Effort to
STOP Issuing Of Fraudu le Mt and
worthless Diplomas.

Commissioner of Education Harris
Is now engaged in making war on coli
leges which confer fraudulent degrees
and exact fees from innocent persons.
The field Of operations of these con-
Germs is in Chicago and the west. and
the commissioner is endeayoring to
break up their business by exposing
them. He has NO authority 20 prose
cute, and some Of the state laws are
extremely lax and permit these inSti-
tutions to thrive.
The bureau of education has been
instrumental in protecting number
of persons who have appealed to it.
Chicago was a favorite field for insti-
buttons OF this character. Germany
was flooded with fraudulent dental
diplomas, and the matter was finally
brought to the attention of the de-
partment Of state. An investigation
was instituted by the educators of
Illinois and committee appointed,
consisting OF President Harper, Of the
Chicago university, and others, to call
the attention of the legislature to the
evils existing and to suggest remedial
laws.
In its investigation the committee
found one medical college in Chicago
which had "a charters, so that, when
one was annulled 1t could operate un.
der another The college was com.
PEELED to go out of business summarily
Others were compelled to retire.

AMBASSADOR PAID THE DEBT.
payne In q Wager with a
Washington Des ective.

The late Lord Pauncefote who for
the United States, always entertained a
very high opinion of the District de-
tective force. In fact he believed that
they were better even than those of
Scotland Yard. and the manner in
which he formed this view makes a
very interesting story. During the
latter part of one spring, some four or
more years ago, his lordship and fam
lily decided to leave the city for sum-
mer's sojourn on the seacoast, and the
diplomat sent word to Chief of Police
Sylvester requesting that he send UP
one of his best detectives to assist and
advise him as to the best plan for max
ing the house secure against burglars.
Pursuant to request, the ma jor sent
one of his best men, and when he ar
rived his lordShip took HMM to where
he had locked his best silverware in a
very strong, but rather oldfaSh ioned,
safe, the door of which lacked a com
bination and was secured by lock and
key. Pointing to this safe, Lord
Pauncefote exclaimed that he would
like to see the thief or burglar who
could break into that safe and steal
the plate within. The detective eyed
the large iron vault for few minutes,
and then said:
Yes, 1t is very strong piece of work
but, nevertheless, I'll bet you bottle
of champagne that 1 can enter the
house without coming through door
or window, and open the safe in less
than five minutes" The British am
bassador took the bet at once, prom
Using more than one bottle of cham
payne if the detective could make
good his boast within the time speci-
fed. So, while his lofdship held the
watch, the detective proceede1'to bust
ness, relates the Washington Post.
When he first entered the mansion
the detective had noticed that the eel
lar gratings were unsecured, and, GO
ing outside, he opened one of them,
dropped down into the basement, and
coming up the kitchen stairway, was
soon in the room in which the iron
vault containing the silver plate was
located. This of itself fairly took the
breath Of the distinguished diplomat,
but when the detective took from his
pocket skeleton key and ait one turn
opened the massive doors of the safe
Lord Pauncefote was ready to confess
that the Capital detectives were q
trife better than anything of the sort
he had ever seen, and he paid the debt
with interest several timesbefore the
officer left.

HOUND AS GUIDING STAR.
A story of Tn re Gold Hunters which
should Not lie DIscredhed
by DOubters.

A number of years ago, says con-
tributor to the Los Angeles Times,
three prospectors were working some
mining claims south of Prescott, AriZ.
When they left town they had expect
ed to return in two days, but, finding
more to do than they had anticipated,
worked third day without grub in
order to finish up. They worked as
long as they could see, thinking they
should have no trouble in following
the trail after dark The night, how
ever, was unusually dark and they
could not see the trail. Being IA
tigued and hungry, they were losing
much valuable time roofing about to
no purpose. They had black-and-tan
hound with them and the idea oc-

Glove ny D-Og.o

An amusing story comes from Paris
of the devices adopted by prominent
clubman of wealth and position to
form the acquaintance of lady well
known for her beauty in social and
theatrical circles, says the London
Globe. The lady was lunching in a
fashionable restaurant in the Bots de
Boulogne, accompanied by her equal
ly well known poodle. The dog was
running about from table to table
picking up pieces and collecting NOR
sells from other diners, and presently
when it returned to it's mistress she
was astonished to see written on its
back in red chalk: "Tell your mistress
that she is simply adorable, and /
love her exceedingly" The gentle
man signed his name. After this a
formal introduction was no longer
necessary

H,ow dbe Moss Grows.

A familiar belief is that moss grows
chiefly on the north side of trees,
writes the Sioux City Journal. The o.

an examination Of many trees has

Girls Operate a MIL.

The four daughters Of Pennsyl-
vania sawmill owner have announced
that they intend to operate the mill
until it attains an average output of
10000 feet of lumber each working
day. The young women began working
the mill little over year ago, writes
a reporter in the Brooklyn Eagle. 1t
is a IS horsepower mill, and the en-
ergetic managers operated 1t so well
that in a short time the average output
per day was $4,000 feet Of timber, which
was the best output by several thou
sand feet Of any mill in the locality
all operated by men. Encouraged by
their success, the young women are en-
deavoring to increase theoutput to the
figure mentioned above.

AID IRISH INDUSTRIES.
American Capitalists Are Trying to
Secure Wicket and Ba mboo
Work.

For come weeks past a number OF
American and German business men
have been discussing a scheme having
for its object the revival of an industry
that used to flourish in Ireland
At one time bamboo and wicker
work gave employment to hundreds,
but foreign competition practically
killed the industry.
A German named Kawe is behind the
scheme to restore this business to Ire
land, and It is said that ex-Attorney
General Moloney, OF Illinois, who is
now in ireland, has agreed to assist
the scheme financially. William Field,
NJ. p, has joined the syndicate, but the
bulk of the capital will be German and
American.
/. II. Parnell, brother of the late
leader of the Irish party, has also
promised TO lend his support.
1t is. expected that employment will
be provided at first for about 900 per-
sons. A meeting Of the parties inter-
ested will be held In Dublin in a few
weeks, when it is hoped to enlist the
coopera tion of some local merchants
In the scheme, which is expected to be
in working order by the beginning of
the new year.
Another phase OF the Irish boom Is
to be found in the unprecedented rush
of turists thither in August. Cork and
Dublin have been crowded to overflow
ing. Most OF the tourists have come
from England, where the advantages
of Ireland as holiday resort are only
Just beginning to be known.
