The Cities Are Healthier.
From the Atlanta Journal.


The idea that the rural districts are
healthier than the cities, though held by
almost everybody who has not yet investi-
gated the subject, is shown by recent sta
tistics to be erroneous, at least so far as
this country is concerned.
Great surprise was caused by the reve-
lation of census statistics that between
1890 and 1900 the proportion of deaths to
population decreased nearly 10 per cent.
and the average age of an American at
death increased from 81. to 39.2 years.
It is almost incredible that such great
changes could occur in ten years, but the
reliability of the figures is stoutly main
tanned by medical authorities. Almost as
surprising as the fact of increasing longev-
ity itself is the discovery that the i'm
provement is confined almost entirely to
the cities. This is due to the improved
methods of sanitation, which are observed
in all progressive cities, but receive COM
paratively little attention in the country
districts. One of the most striking proofs
of the efficacy of modern sanitation is
found in the reduction of the death rate
from consumption. In 1890 the rate was
245 persons per 1000, and by the year
1900 it had been reduced to 100.
The ravages of diphtheria, cholera in
fantum, bronchitis, diarrhea and typhoid
fever were also reduced to a remarkable
extent, but the proportion of deaths from
pneumonia increased from 1876. 8 per 10,
900 in 1890 to 1915 in 1900, owing to
the epidemics of ''grippe" and other forms
of influenza. There was an increase also
of cancer kidney troubles, heart affection
and apoplexy. The Medical Record takes
hopeful view Of cancer treatment in the
future. 1t says
s'The activity of scientific men engaged
in the investigation of the origin and
cause of cancer gives rise to the hope that
some of its unknown features may soon be
definitely solved, and that as a consequence
its treatment may be conducted upon more
intelligent preventative and curative prin
ciples. =
The decrease in the proportion of deaths
from consumption has had more than any
other one cause to do with the lengthenine
of the average life in this country, and
there is every reason to believe that science
will become more and more successful in
its attacks upon that dread disease.

Fuel Made Out of Clay.

E. j. Hoffman, of Omaha, Neb., a
Chicago and Northwestern railroad engl-
neer, who retired from his vocation because
of i'll health, has invented fuel that he
asserts is composed of clay, to the extent OF
ninety per cent. He says that one day
while at work in the shop, there was acct
dentally revealed to him peculiar action
of certain chemicals and gasoline. Eagerly
he followed up the clue with numberless
experiments, until finally he is enabled to
give to the world fuel, he declares, cheap
er than coal and better than coal.
The fuel burns in stove, crate or fur
mace readily; it creates no smoke, no en-
ders. and burns to white ashes; twenty five
pounds of the fuel producing only guam
tity Of ashes that may be held in the palm
of the hand. In the combustion the fire
literally consumes its own ashes, and ton
of fuel will go further than two tons Of the
best coal, producing five times the amount
of heat that coal creates. One pound of
the strange mixture will suffice to keep the
kitchen range hot for one hour.
A recent test of Hoffman clay coal in
the furnace of large boiler developed the
fact that $50 pounds of it created 30 per
cent. more steam and lasted longer in
burning than 600 pounds of first quality
steam COAL
The invention, it is predicted, is destined
to solve the fuel problem for the whole
world, inasmuch as the product may be
manufactured 1000 miles from an oil-pro-
ducing locality for about So ton. Near
an oil field it can be made for one-tifth OF
that price approximately.
For factories and manufacturing estab-
lishments it is proposed to have plant at
or near the furnace doors. Dirt will be
hauled, treated in few moments, and the
fireman shovels his fuel under the boilers.
With draught on can be produced heat
the like of which has never been secured
from coal, or, with all draughts closed, one
may have glowing fire not unlike that OF
anthracite coal in a base-burner. For
household use it is proposed to subject
Jumps in moulds to a pressure OF 1900
pounds.
Two Chicago Omaha railroads will on
February 1 begin using Hofman's fuel fol-
thorough test in the locomotives. On
this date also the immense packing house
plants of Armour, Cudahy & Swift at South
Omaha will test the invention.

Railroad Across the Susquehanna
Fifty Years Ago.

The Elkton Nd. } Democrat, of Jan
uary 8th, says On January 10, 1852,
lust fifty years ago last Wednesday, the
track built by the Philadelphia, Whining
ton and Baltimore Railroad on the ice
across the Susquehanna river, was com
pleted and ready for use. The ice in the
river between Perryville and Havre de
Grace was SO thick it was impossible to
ferry the trains over, so the track was laid
on the solid ice, in order that travel might
not be delayed.
In this office we have picture of the
track after it was completed. Below the
picture are the words, "View of a railroad
track across the Susquehanna at Havre de
Grace, Maryland, on the ice The above
track was completed January 10 and con
tinued in use till February "a, 1852, with
the exception of one or two days, during
which it was removed a short distance up
stream, for the purpose of securing more
solid foundation. In this time there were
hauled over 1873 cars, loaded with mails,
baggage and various kinds of merchandise.
The cars were nearly all 8 wheel cars and
were all passed over without the slightest
injury to any person or property. The
amount of tonnage crossed was about 10,

Making Hens Law in Winter.

]. o. Men. sends the following to the
Laurel Md. Democrat:
1.-TWO years ago in lecture before the
chemistry class at the Medical University,
where I was student, the professor, while
anaIyzing an egg, stated that the reason hens
did not Law as many eggs in winter as IN sum-
mer was that in winter they could not get the
necessary food TO produce the yolk of eggs,
and if farmers would feed their fowls powder
ed red albumen in winter they could have
as many eggs as in summer. was interested
in the subject, as my father and brothers are
farmers, so after the lecture was over asked
the professor in what quantities and how the
albumen should be fed He said to take a
pound of powdered red albumen and mix it
with one pound of black or red pepper,
ground fine, then every morning mix some
ground feed half wheat bran and half cora
meal and to each quart of this mixed feed
add two teaspoonfuls of the mixed pepper and
albumen, then add enough of hot water 10
dampen the feed, not to make it sticky. Hive
a quart of this hot feed 20 each twelve hens
every morning and quart of whole grain,
wheat or corn, or both mixed, for each twelve
fowls every evening and in two weeks your
hens will begin to lay and will lay all winter
if you give them this feed. The professor
said he had kept pen of game fowls Tor 10
years, he always led tnem tnls leeu anu Always
had an abundance of eggs. | wrote to my
father and brothers, giving them this recipe
and they and several others tried it last win
ter with complete success, the coolest weather
did not stop their hens laying. My father
keeps about one hundred light Brahmas; win
ter before last they did not lay at all, but on
this feed last winter averaged seven dozen
eggs day all winter. One thing the Brahmas
used to do to a finish, that was set, but last
spring father could not get hen TO set until
he quit feeding this feed.
my brother bought $50 young hens last
September and / got letter from him Mon
day saying that he began giving this feed two
weeks ago and is now getting over 200 eggs
day. have great many friends back home
that read your paper and thought would have
you print this recipe, so that they and all your
readers that keep poultry could be benefited
by its use, for hens may as well lay all winter
as be idle, but hen is simply machine and
if you do not supply the material the hen
cannot lay the eggs. You can get pound OF
pepper at any grocery for about 80 cents, a
pound of red albumen at any drug store for 90
cents, pound each of pepper and albqmen
will feed so hens for over a month and you
will get 100 dozen eggs that you would not get
without it, and 100 dozen eggs in winter are
worth at least $40; and $50 for 80 cents worth
of feed is surely big profit.
